The finger-pointing came to a head for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and coach Steve Wilks finally went to rookie Josh Rosen to try to stop the bleeding. But the quarterback isn’t the problem. After watching as the Cardinals traded up to the No. 10 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft to take him, Rosen

Even though Jimmy Garoppolo is injured, the future isn’t as bleak for the 49ers as some may want you to think. There’s no nuanced way set this up: Jimmy Garoppolo losing his first full season as starting quarterback to an ACL injury is devastating. San Francisco had high hopes for Jimmy G’s first season as
The Oakland Raiders are 0-3, and the hits keep coming from Jon Gruden, the highest-paid NFL head coach in history. At what point is this clearly a gigantic mistake? Do we have to get through half of Jon Gruden’s contract to accept Oakland making an error of $100 million proportions? If that’s the case, look
Arizona finally ushered in the Josh Rosen era, and it was a stroke of genius by Steve Wilks. When Josh Rosen was finally drafted back in April, he made an off-hand comment about the nine mistakes being made before him. It was a comment he later backed off of, but that was a glimpse inside
With five total touchdowns and an overtime victory over Atlanta, Drew Brees took over Week 3 and saved the New Orleans Saints’ season. We all knew the NFC South was going to be devastating this year. It’s an annual tradition like no other, with the division always threatening to send three teams to the postseason.
Jimmy Garoppolo may miss the rest of the season, so who do the San Francisco 49ers have backing him up? Late in Sunday’s 38-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo stayed in bounds on a run and paid for hit by absorbing a big hit. There seemed to be
The San Francisco 49ers have to be holding their collective breath as Jimmy Garoppolo was carted off the field in Kansas City with a knee injury. The 49ers are only in Week 3, but a once-promising season could be over. In the fourth quarter at Arrowhead Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs, 49ers quarterback Jimmy

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly listening to offers for running back Le’Veon Bell, as the Steelers have realized that it’s finally time to part ways with the talented all-purpose back. Although the Pittsburgh Steelers are 0-1-1 in two games without Le’Veon Bell at running back, James Conner has given the team sufficient production both on
While the Kansas City Chiefs already have one of the NFL’s elite safeties in Eric Berry, they are reportedly interested in pairing him up with Earl Thomas to create perhaps the greatest safety duo of all-time.

Whoever is in charge of social media for the Buffalo Bills was asleep at the wheel. If you’re a fan of the Buffalo Bills, you might want to erase the 2018 season permanently from your memory.

After Baker Mayfield single-handedly snapped the Browns’ losing streak, there’s no way he doesn’t get the start next week, right? It sounds crazy, right? Rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield — the Cleveland Browns’ No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft — replaced the injured Tyrod Taylor against the New York Jets on Thursday, brought
Entering Week 3, there are seven 0-2 teams. History says that starting 0-2 is disastrous, but can any of them rebound and still make the playoffs? If your favorite team started 0-2, you’ve surely heard about how they’re “doomed” and that only six of the 77 teams that have started 0-2 since 2009 have made
The Steelers need a win at Tampa Bay in the worst way. Unfortunately, their defense can’t stop Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Buccaneers. There are plenty of NFL quarterbacks more talented than Ryan Fitzpatrick, but few are hotter than the Buccaneers signal caller at the moment. Unfortunately for the Steelers, they’re taking on FitzMagic at the
Earl Thomas is one of last vestiges of Seattle’s Legion of Boom. That’s why the Seahawks desperately need him on the field against the Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys and Earl Thomas have a very weird relationship. The talented Seattle Seahawks safety has been connected with his home state team off and on throughout his entire
The Panthers have one of the most progressive owners in the NFL and a big hole at safety. Could Carolina be the team to finally sign Eric Reid? Da’Norris Searcy is set to be the latest Panthers starter to land on injured reserve. That leaves the organization with a really interesting decision on their hands. General
Browns fans are still celebrating Thursday night’s win, but it’s time for the players to have higher goals. Baker Mayfield can get this team into the playoffs. It’s not an exaggeration to say the entire direction of the Cleveland Browns franchise changed Thursday night. The quarterback transition from Tyrod Taylor to Baker Mayfield clearly provided

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson dropped more than 300 passing yards on the Tennessee Titans in Week 2, and he could have similar success against a New York Giants defense that still won’t be at 100-percent in Week 3. This is a comeback season for Houston Texans second-year signal-caller Deshaun Watson, who set the NFL
It’s the teacher vs. the student on Sunday night in the Motor City. And the New England Patriots are bringing a new toy to this prime time encounter. It was a rough Week 2 for both the New England Patriots and the Detroit Lions. But for the latter, it’s been a tough start for a
The Denver Broncos are off to another terrific start. But what can be expected when the team clashes with the unpredictable Baltimore Ravens? Stop if you’ve heard this one before. The Denver Broncos have won their first two games of the season. Call it déjà vu. Call it Groundhog Day. It any case, regardless of
The Rams will have the Chargers as a tenant in their shiny new stadium down the road, but on Sunday they’ll welcome their regional rival to the L.A. Coliseum.

It’s only Week 3, but the Jaguars-Titans game on Sunday looks very pivotal in the AFC South race. The Jacksonville Jaguars moved to 2-0 with a nice win over the New England Patriots in Week 2, and the Tennessee Titans put a mark in the win column with a 20-17 victory over the Houston Texans
Everything about Alex Smith’s NFL career makes it clear he’s risk averse. He can’t play that way on Sunday if the Redskins are going to upset the Packers. Alex Smith has earned a great living in the NFL by completing safe passes and protecting the football. That doesn’t mean it’s the perfect strategy for every
The Saints have been one of the most disappointing teams of the young NFL season. Drew Brees has to be the man to change that against the Falcons. Drew Brees isn’t the man responsible for the Saints’ poor start to the 2018 season, but he’s still the player who has to lift Sean Payton’s squad
The Cleveland Browns hadn’t won an NFL game since Christmas Eve in 2016, but fans finally had a reason to celebrate when the Browns defeated the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football 21-17 in Baker Mayfield’s first NFL game.
