Through four games, the Dallas Cowboys QB has soared past those expectations, completing 68% percent of his passes for 1,690 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions. Currently ranked as QB1, Dak is on an absurd pace of 6,000+ passing yards on […]

In Week 4 of the NFL season, the action on the field took a backseat to the questions and caution off it.

Mecole Hardman Scores Touchdown In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman caught all four of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown against the New England Patriots in Week 4.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) will be unavailable for Monday’s contest versus the Patriots after carrying a questionable designation into the contest due to a groin ailment.
