Minnesota Vikings:  The Quiet Contenders In The NFC   The ugly 26-9 loss in Week 2 of the 2017 NFL season might’ve thrown us all off the scent a bit. Then, of course, there was the knee injury that quarterback Sam Bradford sustained in Week 1 of the season, and then re-aggravated in Week 5, which has sidelined him indefinitely. That’s not even mentioning the season-ending torn ACL injury sustained by promising rookie running back Dalvin Cook in Week 4. … Read More

NFL Football News- The Rise Of Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson   Pop Quiz: do you know which NFC quarterback currently averages the most passing yards per game, as we round the halfway point of the 2017 NFL season?   For as brilliantly as he’s played this season, it’s not Carson Wentz. Despite leading the conference in passing yards for 11 consecutive seasons, it’s not Drew Brees. It’s not Kirk Cousins (playing in a pass-happy offense in Washington) or Jameis Winston … Read More

The Indianapolis Colts Need To Look Ahead To 2018   Their 2-5 record might say otherwise, but if it does, it betrays just how badly the Indianapolis Colts have played this season.   The 27-0 loss by the Indianapolis Colts to the Jacksonville Jaguars — at home, no less — is beyond embarrassing. Regardless of the fact that the Colts are playing a backup quarterback, starting behind an offensive line that’s starting backups in four of the five spots along … Read More

The Atlanta Falcons Are Still Suffering From Their Super Bowl Hangover   An optimist might point to the fact that the Atlanta Falcons currently have a 3-3 record, and are only one game back of the New Orleans Saints for the NFC South lead (the two teams have yet to play each other). But a realist will likely point to the fact that the Falcons have lost three straight games, and are only two plays away from having a 1-5 … Read More

Should Jacksonville Jaguars’ Leonard Fournette Win Offensive Rookie Of The Year?   Entering Week 6 of the NFL season, the Jacksonville Jaguars — owners of the only winning record (3-2) in the AFC South — have generated 50.9% of their total offensive yards through their ground game. That’s the highest such total in the NFL, by more than five percent. In fact, the last team to have more than half of its yardage total come on the ground was the … Read More

NFL Football News – The Cleveland Browns, and the Ghost of Draftmas Present   Let’s all hop in a hypothetical time machine, and go back to six months ago. The Cleveland Browns had the #1 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, and there was all this chatter that they were seriously considering passing on defensive end Myles Garret, the consensus #1 prospect, in order to take quarterback Mitchell Trubisky from the University of North Carolina. As ridiculous as it sounded, … Read More

NFL Football News – The Rise Of The Washington Redskins Defense   Like with so many things in the NFL, the stats don’t always tell the story.   The Washington Redskins being ranked 11th in total yards allowed per game isn’t too shabby. Neither is the #11 ranking in rushing yards allowed (88.8 yards per game). But the #17 ranking in passing yards per game isn’t really worth writing home about, as isn’t the #18 ranking in points allowed per … Read More

The Resurrection Of The Los Angeles Rams   Over the course of the 2016 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams accumulated a grand total of four wins.   By this Sunday evening, it’s very possible that the Los Angeles Rams will already have accumulated four wins, matching all of last season’s total by week five of this year.   Oh what a difference an offseason makes.   It’s not the slightest bit inconceivable that the Rams will be 4-1 through … Read More

Big Trouble In The Big Apple?   Just over one year ago, the New York Giants started the season with a 2-0 record, handing the Dallas Cowboys one of their three losses in the regular season in 2016.  They rode a revamped defense — which many considered to be one of the five best units in the NFL by season’s end — to an 11-5 record, which was their highest win total since 2008.   While we might be less … Read More

The NFL’s Next Great Defense Belongs To The Jacksonville Jaguars   Ignore the fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off a week in which they allowed 37 points to the Tennessee Titans. Because, if you look closely enough, outside of last Sunday’s aberration, the Jaguars have quietly assembled one of the most intriguing defenses in the NFL.   By and large, defensive coordinator Todd Wash continues to run a very similar defensive scheme to that of the Seattle Seahawks, … Read More
