As we start heading down the home stretch towards the playoffs, I want to take a look at two teams that have taken vastly different approaches to balance on offense over the past few weeks. The Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams have been polar opposites when it comes to their commitment to the […]
New England’s Throwback Rushing Attack Is A Modern Day Mismatch
One of the most captivating games in recent memory was this past Monday night’s matchup between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills given the difficult weather conditions.

It’s Time to Say Joe Mixon is An Elite Running Back
The Cincinnati Bengals currently sit at 7-4 and control their own destiny within the AFC South with a big matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday.

Cosell: What Makes a Quarterback Successful?
I was fortunate enough to be mentored by Hall of Fame head coach Bill Walsh, the pioneer of the West Coast offense and one of the best quarterback teachers the game has seen. A three-time Super Bowl winning head coach with the San Francisco 49ers, Walsh coached Hall of Fame quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve […]
Cosell: Cowboys Offense is Explosive and Sustainable
Five weeks into the 2021 NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys have emerged as the NFC East division leader and sit second in the conference.
