Despite playing in all 12 games in 2024, he recorded just 13 tackles and two tackles for loss. The Louisiana native had his best statistical…

The Ravens opened the playoffs by starting fast and finishing strong. They weren’t in the mood for another nerve-racking game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Battles between these AFC North rivals usually come down to the wire, often decided on the final possession. Not this time. Baltimore’s offense had too many weapons, and its defense pitched a first half shutout and found enough answers when Russell Wilson started cooking in the second half. With an emphatic performance on Wild-Card weekend, the Ravens advanced to the divisional round with 28-14 victory before a jubilant Saturday night crowd at M&T Bank Stadium. Here…

“Defensive Star Chandler Jones Commits to Kansas City Chiefs, Raider Nation Stunned” In what can only be described as a shocking betrayal, Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones has committed to the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving Raider Nation furious. The deal, reportedly worth $50 million over two years, is a significant loss for the Raiders and a major gain for the Chiefs’ defense.

Running backs across the league have clearly taken this to heart and have made it a point to prove…

Widespread reports project Vrabel as a top choice to fill openings with the Patriots, the Jets, or someone else who believes his six years as head coach of the Titans were evidence he can take off in his next job. Rob Gronkowski, who played seven of his Patriots seasons with McDaniels as his offensive coordinator, weighed in…
