Utah could've won in regulation if game were called correctly

The Rex and Rob Ryan reunion in Buffalo promises to be compelling, for many reasons. One of those reasons is this: They’re mad. Appearing Friday on WGR 550 in Buffalo, Rex Ryan made it clear that they are aware of the criticism, and they don’t like it. “I can tell you this: our family is…

When the Panthers hired General Manager Dave Gettleman prior to the 2013 season, he could have easily cleaned house. Instead, he went to breakfast with Ron Rivera, and realized they could work together. The partnership has clearly worked, as the Panthers have won 19 of their last 20 regular season games and advanced to the…

Broncos boss John Elway knows it when he sees it. It’s hard for aging quarterbacks to maintain their standard of play, to do things the way they used to, and when playoff losses pile up over the years, it changes the way people view you. Also, he sees Peyton Manning. Perhaps no one knows as…

The Bills made history this week by hiring Kathryn Smith as a full-time assistant coach, but Rex Ryan was careful to check with the team that blazed the trail first. Via Zach Buchanan of the Arizona Republic, Ryan called Cardinals coach Bruce Arians to talk about his experience with training camp intern Jen Welter before…

Browns tackle Joe Thomas wasn’t shy about expressing his reservations about the latest round of remake your franchise that went on in Cleveland this offseason.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski actually talked about low blows yesterday, and he did it without using the eggplant emoji or anything.
