The Packers were written off early in the season. But after back-to-back wins, the latest coming over the Bears, are they officially back? Are the Jaguars just winning ugly games or are they a true Super Bowl contender? In Philly, is Jalen Hurts the problem? Can we say the same about Bo Nix in Denver?…
In a game that looked like a 1980s flashback with the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos wearing their throwback uniforms from their AFC West rivalry days, the defending Super Bowl champs appear to have lost their swagger. The Broncos took a double-digit lead into halftime, but needed overtime to escape with a 17-14 victory over…
There’s no way of truly knowing that Oregon would lose to two teams that finished 3-9 last season (Oklahoma State and UCLA) before the second weekend of October ended. No one predicted the Kentucky Wildcats to be who we all thought LSU and Lane Kiffin would be, or that Texas A&M would regress from a College…
Rumors of Tom Brady’s potential return to the gridiron have persisted since he last stepped off the gridiron at the end of the 2022 season.

Handing Oregon its second loss of the season has strengthened UCLA’s case for a College Football Playoff bid, but fellow Big Ten squad USC is right there fighting alongside it. Similarly, the Big 12’s Utah and BYU have perfect 5-0 records to this point, but it’s likely only one of each pair will get the…

But it’s literally everything to a quarterback and his playcaller, because that’s all the time they have to communicate between plays from headset to helmet.
