After a one-year hiatus, Sean Payton is returning to the sideline. The Denver Broncos finalized a trade on Tuesday to acquire Payton from the New Orleans Saints. Payton had been the Saints’ head coach since 2006 before quitting after the 2021 season. Since he still was under contract to the Saints, the Broncos had to […]
Lately, the Houston Texans have been going through head coaches almost as fast as Pete Carroll goes through bubble gum. Since firing Bill O’Brien four games into the 2020 season, they have hired two coaches – David Culley and Lovie Smith – only to show each the door after just one season. Hopefully, they’ll show […]
It was, without a doubt, the most difficult thing Jeffrey Lurie has had to do in the nearly three decades he has owned the Philadelphia Eagles. Firing a friend never is easy, especially when that friend did as much for you as Andy Reid did for Lurie. The Eagles made the playoffs nine times in […]
The Carolina Panthers are going with experience over youth and offense over defense for their next head coach. The Panthers are hiring 61-year-old Frank Reich, the team announced on Thursday. Reich was the Indianapolis Colts’ head coach from 2018 until he was fired by owner Jim Irsay earlier this season. He had a 40-33-1 record […]
“Show me the money!” is a famous line from the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire. In the coming months, it also will be the battle cry for several of the league’s top young quarterbacks. The Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, the Bengals’ Joe Burrow, the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts, the Chargers’ Justin Herbert and the Giants’ Daniel Jones all are looking […]
It was late in the second quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 29-21 Week 4 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game was tied, 14-14, and the Eagles had a fourth-and-1 at the Jacksonville 12-yard line. The fact that coach Nick Sirianni decided to go for it rather than let Jake Elliott kick a “gimme” go-ahead […]
The Bills didn’t get the No. 1 seed in the AFC. That went to the Chiefs. But they can take some solace in finishing the regular season as the No. 1 team in The 33rd Team’s power rankings. The Bills (13-3) hung on to the top spot after securing the No. 2 AFC playoff seed […]
The Bills remained in the top spot in The 33rd Team’s Week 18 power rankings for the second straight week, but not the way they had hoped. Their much-anticipated Monday night game against the No. 3 Bengals was postponed after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field and was taken to the hospital, where […]
Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells once said, “You are what your record says you are.” While that is absolutely true, history has shown us that if you know what you’re doing, your record doesn’t have to stay the same for very long. Consider: >> After winning just four games in 2018, the 49ers went […]
The Eagles’ 40-34 loss to the Cowboys on Saturday isn’t expected to impact their ability to secure the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed. But it did cost them the top spot in The 33rd Team’s Week 17 power rankings. Playing without MVP candidate Jalen Hurts, who sat out with a sprained throwing shoulder, the Eagles […]
