NFL Plans To Add 17th Game Next Season

The NFL is planning to expand the regular season and add a 17th game to the schedule in 2021. The move would limit the preseason to two or three games, though each team would still get one bye week throughout the entire season. The league had been floating the idea for some time- though a […]

Alex Smith On Wrong Side Of Questionable

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) appears to be on the wrong side of questionable ahead of a Week 16 contest against the Panthers. Smith was a full participant in practice on Friday, though the team is "concerned that he can't do everything he needs to do to be effective," per ESPN's Adam Schefter. […]

Ravens Fined By NFL For Violations Of COVID-19 Protocol

Matthew Stafford Diagnosed With Sprained Ankle

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ankle) was diagnosed with a sprained ankle and could miss Week 17.

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has put together a fairly below-average performance this season. However, he did look decent against the Los Angeles Rams last week.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray completed 31 of his 50 passes for 247 yards and an interception and added 75 rushing yards in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Cam Newton Set To Remain Starting QB For Week 16

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is expected to be under center for Monday's game against Buffalo despite a recent rough stretch of play.
