Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt signed a huge contract extension last week and he showed why he was in position for it on Sunday.

One of the most overlooked and underreported developments in recent weeks relates to the significant changes in the league’s all-important replay-review function.

In the Vikings-Bengals game, it [more]

The NFL has made taunting a point of emphasis for 2021.

The 49ers’ inactive list on Sunday included a surprising name in third-round pick Trey Sermon because he was the No. 2 running back on the depth chart they released ahead of the game, but another rookie made it hard to question the team’s decision.

The Jaguars came into Sunday’s game as favorites over a Texans team that most people have written off for the season, but it didn’t turn out to be a triumphant NFL debut for head coach Urban Meyer and quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Lions first-round pick Penei Sewell spent the offseason and summer transitioning to right tackle after playing on the left side at Oregon, but Taylor Decker‘s finger injury meant Sewell was back on the left side for his first NFL game.

When the Steelers went to Buffalo in Week 14 last season, they were on a two-game losing streak and their receivers were having a hard time holding onto Ben Roethlisberger‘s passes. Diontae Johnson was one of the worst offenders on that front and he found himself benched early in the 26-15 Steelers loss because of [more]

Giants running back Saquon Barkley didn’t light up the stat sheet or find the end zone in Sunday’s 27-13 loss to the Broncos, but being on the field was a pretty big accomplishment on its own. Barkley tore his ACL in Week Two of the 2020 season and his place in the lineup for the [more]

The Rams paid a big price to acquire Matthew Stafford this offseason, and coach Sean McVay thinks after one game that Stafford was well worth it.
