What, you thought my Monday column was going to be about the Saints-Steelers game? After Sunday’s 33-30 victory by the Vikings in Buffalo, it was impossible to consider talking about anything else. With close competition from the first Falcons-Panthers game in late October, Vikings-Bills has to be considered the best game of the 2022 NFL […]
Continue readingThe NFL’s most vulnerable spots: 16 teams that have depth issues behind their stars, including the Cowboys, Titans, Bucs
The ultimate examples of how the “next man up” can make or break an NFL team are two recent Super Bowls. Last season, we saw the Chiefs lose various starting offensive linemen throughout the season, but when Eric Fisher tore his Achilles in the AFC Championship Game, the dam broke.

HENDERSON, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders will be without four defensive starters for their crucial Thursday night home game against the Los Angeles Chargers, a less-than-optimal start for new interim defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli.

Mixon rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns to go along with a touchdown reception last Sunday as the Bengals beat Jacksonville for their first win of the season.

FRISCO, Texas — One practice. That’s all it took for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to make quite the impression with the Dallas Cowboys. As Lamb, the Cowboys’ 2020 first-round pick, sprinted toward the sideline, quarterback Dak Prescott‘s pass was high and a little to the inside. Instinctively, Lamb leaped, twisted his body to open his […]
