Zach Wilson Posts Lackluster Results Versus Texans

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson was back under center for the first time since Week 7. Sadly, there weren't many positive results from the rookie quarterback in this one. He completed 14-of-24 passing attempts for 145 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception in the win over the Houston Texans. Wilson also added two […]

Jack Conklin Ruled Out After Suffering Knee Injury

Cleveland Browns right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the game after suffering a knee injury on Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Conklin, who returned Sunday night from an elbow injury, looked to suffer a serious knee injury and had to be carted to the locker room after […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Efficient In Week 12 Win

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 17 of 26 passes for 230 yards, a touchdown, and an interception during a 34-26 Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Garoppolo has led the 49ers to four wins in their last five games and has delivered clutch passes in nearly all of them, as he completed […]

Ryan Tannehill Struggles Mightily In Loss To Patriots

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 11-of-21 pass attempts for 93 yards, a touchdown, and an interception while adding 24 rushing yards on five attempts in Sunday's 36-13 loss to the New England Patriots. On Sunday, the 33-year-old struggled to get anything going and missed his top targets A.J. Brown (chest), Julio Jones (hamstring). Despite […]

Carson Wentz Throws Three Touchdowns In Week 12 Loss

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz completed 27 of 44 passes for 306 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions during a 38-31 Week 12 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wentz finally ended a six-game streak under 300 passing yards during Sunday's loss, tossing three touchdowns and committing three turnovers that proved costly. However, if Jonathan […]

Teddy Bridgewater Injures Shin, Completes Only 11 Passes

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (shin) missed the entire second quarter of the 28-13 Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers after a hard hit from safety Derwin James. Backup Drew Lock was pretty bad in his place, completing four of seven attempts for 26 yards and an interception. Lock also fumbled, but it […]

Jalen Hurts Struggles In A Week 12 Loss

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a hard time in a Week 12 loss to the New York Giants. Hurts attempted 31 passes, completing just 14 of them for 129 yards. He did not throw a touchdown, but did throw three interceptions. On the ground, Hurts ran the ball eight times, gaining 77 yards. The […]

Teddy Bridgewater Returns In Week 12

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (leg) returned to Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. The veteran injured his right shin during the first quarter and didn't return for the remainder of the first half. However, he appears to be fine for now, although he may end up on the injury report heading into the Week 14 […]

Tyrod Taylor Disappointing In Loss To Jets

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor was one of the best streamer candidates this week after taking over the goal-line rushing role for Houston in a great matchup versus the bottom-feeding Jets. Yet he only managed 158 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Furthermore, he only had two carries for 30 yards. This was the […]

Teddy Bridgewater Questionable To Return

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (leg) is questionable to return against the Los Angeles Chargers. Bridgewater exited the game and a trainer quickly inspected his leg before the signal-caller headed to the locker room. The severity of this injury remains unknown at the moment, but recently the veteran has been merely serviceable. Backup Drew Lock […]

Ben Roethlisberger Quiet In Blowout Loss

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had a quiet afternoon in a 41-10 blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. Roethlisberger completed 24 of 41 passes for 263 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the loss on Sunday. The Steelers offense struggled to get much going at all against the Cincinnati defense as […]

Joe Burrow Plays Second Fiddle In Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow didn't need to do much in Week 11 against Pittsburgh, as Joe Mixon monopolized the offense and accounted for 28 carries for 165 yards and two scores. Still, the sophomore slinger had a good showing, finishing with 190 yards and two total touchdowns, with one of them coming off an […]

Daniel Jones Efficient In Week 12 Win

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 19-of-30 attempts for 202 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 30 yards on nine attempts in Sunday's 13-7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. In the third quarter, he threw a one-yard touchdown strike to backup tight end Chris Myarick. The former first-round pick was efficient and didn't […]

Cam Newton Benched Against Dolphins

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was benched late in Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He was 5-for-21 for 92 yards with two interceptions while adding five rushing yards and a rushing score. P.J. Walker replaced him and also quickly threw a pick. The Panthers quarterback situation is a mess, but we should assume Newton will […]

Dave Gettleman Likely In His Last Year With Giants

The New York Giants fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett earlier this week, and general manager Dave Gettleman, who has run the team's personnel department since 2018, is unlikely to return in 2022, according to sources with knowledge of the situation and those with deep knowledge of the league. The Giants will have two first-round picks […]

Terence Steele Placed On COVID List

The Dallas Cowboys have placed offensive tackle Terence Steele on the reserve/COVID-19 list, putting him in line to miss next week's game against the Saints. Steele was a solid fill-in tackle when Tyron Smith was out and saw some work at right tackle too, surprisingly starting over La'el Collins on Thanksgiving. Expect Collins back in […]

Matthew Stafford Dealing With Chronic Pain

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (arm, back) doesn't have an official injury designation ahead of the Week 12 meeting against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. However, the veteran signal-caller has reportedly been dealing with "chronic pain," specifically in his back and elbow. Nonetheless, Stafford has undoubtedly demonstrated his toughness and has played through various […]

Baker Mayfield Ready To Make Plays With His Legs

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder, foot, groin), who has been struggling with injuries in recent weeks, is finally able to make plays with his legs again and is showing signs of looking like himself, according to those who see him every day. His injuries are starting to heal, and one source said he's feeling […]

Lamar Jackson Back At Full Strength

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) is back at full strength, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport. The former MVP didn't suit up for the Week 11 win over the Bears because of a Non-COVID-related sickness, allowing backup signal-caller Tyler Huntley to take over under center. Fortunately, Jackson reportedly had a "great week at […]
