Martellus Bennett helped the Patriots win at Arizona Sunday night without Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Bennett’s help didn’t come in the form of doing what Gronkowski does, even if a lot of fantasy football players were counting on that. “I’m not a fantasy football player. I’m a blue-collar tight end,” Bennett said, according to […]

Arrowhead Stadium has a reputation as one of the toughest places for visiting teams to play, but some Chiefs fans weren’t very loyal on Sunday when their team trailed the Chargers 24-10 after three quarters. The scene in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot at end of 3rd QTR. A lot of Chiefs fans listened to […]

Jimmy Garoppolo didn’t hit his intended receiver on the first play of the second half Sunday. Instead, the Patriots quarterback completed the pass to himself and sparked a touchdown drive with a three-yard gain. Garoppolo’s pass was batted down, but he was there to pluck it out of the air and run with it. Top that, […]

If there’s one play the crystallizes how tough of a time the Jaguars are giving the Packers in Jacksonville, it’s this Aaron Rodgers touchdown pass to Davante Adams. Rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey grasped Rodgers’ jersey, but Rodgers avoided the sack and threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Adams to give the Packers a 21-17 lead […]

A.J. Green made Revis Island look like some fun vacation resort and not the Alcatraz that it’s been in the past. The Bengals’ receiver separated himself from the vaunted Jets’ cornerback and caught this 54-yard touchdown pass to give the Bengals a 10-7 lead over the Jets in the second quarter on Sunday at MetLife […]

You have to see Breshad Perriman’s first career reception to believe it, and it’s even harder to believe considering all he’s been through. The Ravens receiver caught this 35-yard pass from Joe Flacco in his first NFL game, beating Stephen Gilmore’s coverage. WELCOME TO THE NFL,

It took him a year to do it, but Chargers running back Melvin Gordon scored his first career touchdown Sunday against the Chiefs. Gordon scored on a 1-yard run to give the Chargers a 7-3 lead over the favored Chiefs in the first quarter at Kansas City. Melvin Gordon’s first rushing TD in the NFL…in […]

Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals have their sights set on Super Bowl LI after reaching the NFC championship game in 2015. Now, the Cardinals’ focus on that goal might be even sharper because 2016 could be Larry Fitzgerald’s final season.

Just one game into the 2016 regular season, the NFL’s concussion protocol is once again under intense scrutiny. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was hit in the head multiple times during Thursday night’s season opener, but the only one that was penalized was a hit by Broncos safety Darian Stewart on the game’s final drive. Newton […]

The 2016 season hasn’t even started yet, but it’s beginning to sound a lot like last year for the Ravens on the injury front. Outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil said he won’t play Week 1 against the Bills, according to Pro Football Talk. Dumervil had six sacks last season but had foot surgery during the offseason […]

The normally tight-lipped Bill Belichick might have provided his Week 1 opponent with some bulletin-board material. The Patriots coach spoke highly of Cardinals running back David Johnson, but unlike the Cardinals he’s not ready to put him in the same class as Marshall Faulk. Johnson, a rookie last season, broke out in December with 378 […]

Apparently, the Redskins’ cutdown day procedures need a little work. Or maybe the organization needs to go paperless with certain things. A caller named “Josh” told 106.7 The Fan’s Sports Junkies show that he was using a dumpster to clean out his truck and found a defensive workbook belonging to former Redskins linebacker Ejiro Ederaine. A listener claims to […]
