In a play not seen often enough in the NFL these days, Falcons tight end Levine Toilolo was stripped of the football on a reception during the first quarter. The Buccaneers’ defensive back Mark Barron scooped up the fumble, but Falcons defensive back Devin Hester was able to punch the ball free and recover the […]

As if all the hysteria surrounding the NFL and domestic violence hasn’t already been difficult enough to consume in such a short period of time, it appears another athlete has joined what is becoming a long list of NFL players arrested for domestic violence.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas made an outstanding one-handed touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone during the second quarter of their Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Thomas’ 12-yard touchdown capped off a 21-point first half for the Broncos that featured three Peyton Manning touchdown passes. The touchdown reception […]

Ted Ginn is really fast. He reminded the New York Giants of just how fast he truly is on a third-quarter punt by Steve Weatherford, shaking off a tackler and taking off down the middle of the field for a 71-yard touchdown return. Ginn silenced the rallying MetLife Stadium crowd, shifting momentum back into Arizona’s […]

New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones completed the special teams trifecta on one play by blocking a second-quarter field goal by the Minnesota Vikings, then scooping the football off the turf and returning it nearly 60 yards for a touchdown. The Patriots were already dominating Minnesota before Jones’ big special teams play. The Vikings […]

With the New England Patriots leading the Minnesota Vikings early in the second quarter, cornerback Darrelle Revis recorded his first interception of the 2014 NFL season on a pass by Matt Cassel down the right side of the field. Revis made the interception look easy, playing the football like a receiver and reminding quarterbacks everywhere […]

The New York Giants didn’t start the 2014 NFL season quite like they had hoped, dropping their opener to the Lions in an embarrassing fashion, 35-14. The Giants looked subpar in every facet of the game, totaling just 197 yards of offense while surrendering 417 to the Lions. New York averaged just 3.5 yards per […]

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Courtney Upshaw gave the debut of Thursday Night Football on CBS a proper introduction by absolutely annihilating Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on an early first-quarter sack. Unfortunately, Upshaw’s bone-crushing blow did not go unpenalized despite being a seemingly legal hit. It appears that Upshaw hit Roethlisberger squarely in the chest, but […]

Calvin Johnson is unquestionably the best wide receiver in the NFL. So ideally, opposing teams are going to do all they can to keep the Detroit Lions and quarterback Matthew Stafford from getting the football to him. Apparently, the New York Giants missed the memo and paid the price during Monday night’s season opener at […]

Perhaps Antonio Brown just wanted to show Cleveland Browns punter Spencer Lanning what it felt like to be the football for once, but the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver had to know he wasn’t allowed to literally dropkick the opposing player during his punt return. Sadly, that’s exactly what the 26-year-old decided to do during a […]

When it’s the first week of college football, it’s silly to get overly excited about what happens during the initial slate of games. Good games will be had, but for the most part, the best moments still await down the road. That won’t likely be the case in the competition for catch of the year. […]

There’s turning the conventional 5-4-3 double play and then there’s what Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Josh Harrison seems to do on a daily basis. With runners on first and second with no outs in the top of the seventh inning, Harrison made a great diving stop on a hit down the line by Cincinnati Reds […]

There is no league in which parity is more prevalent than in the NFL. Preseason predictions are often rendered useless by Week 6 with many popular favorites crippled by injuries or poor execution on the gridiron. The top Super Bowl picks this year are clear: Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and New England […]

Training camp action is in full swing, and fans are just now getting their first glimpses into what to expect during the 2014 NFL season. For some teams, it’s an opportunity to overcome last year’s failures. For others, it’s an opportunity to improve upon the great things they accomplished in 2013. At the present time, […]

Two Super Bowl wins. Two Super Bowl MVPs. An 8-3 postseason record in 10 NFL seasons with over 33,000 career passing yards. On paper, it sounds like the summation of a football player primed to enter Canton when he decides to hang it up in anywhere from four to Favre years. Yet this is the […]

The NFL season is drawing near, with new free agency acquisitions and recently-drafted rookies hitting the practice field for OTAs. Players are reverting back to life during football season, and before long, we’ll have a more concrete idea as to how the 2014 NFL season just might play out. Most teams are looking to build […]

The 2014 draft class is loaded with talent and was lauded as one of the deepest in recent history. So it might seem baffling to imagine any team failing to address their key needs. But somehow, some teams found a way. That’s not to say that those teams necessarily had a bad draft, but when […]
