NFL playoff fallers in 2020: Ranking the biggest busts, including the Cowboys, Vikings and Texans
If an NFL team is out of the playoff picture in Week 7, it’s probably not going to make its way back in by January. Last year, 10 of the 12 teams that were in playoff positions as we entered Week 7 made it into the postseason. The only exceptions were the Raiders (who missed […]

Monday’s news that the Houston Texans were firing head coach/general manager Bill O’Brien after an 0-4 start was somehow simultaneously stunning and not surprising at all.

The Chicago Bears’ No. 1 wide receiver was in the news this week because he’s frustrated with the state of contract negotiations with the team.
