I do understand who Shedeur Sanders is as a QB, and he put all his positives and negatives on display. What I don’t understand is what Cleveland seeks to accomplish with this competition: www.theringer.com/2025/08/12/n...

Desperation can acquaint you with strange bedfellows. Pittsburgh needs a new identity on offense, and Aaron Rodgers needs a chance to wash the stink off of his reputation. What Mike Tomlin needs to do to make this unlikely marriage work: www.theringer.com/2025/06/10/n...

The “Spags” blitzes have won so many playoff games, it’s become a part of the fabric of NFL History. Nobody is doing it better than Spags in this era, and I wanted to know how he and this defense keep raising the bar. theringer.com/2025/02/06/n...

OSU’s 2024 defense is gonna be interesting to place in the modern era convo. Super talented, but won’t join 2021 UGA, 2018 Clemson, 2013 FSU, 2011 Bama, 2008 USC and 2001 Miami. I think this is as good as it’ll get in the Transfer/NIL era, though. High water mark for sure.

Protect the health of the players in football by making it clear that offensive players cannot initiate contact with the crown of their helmets. That was a textbook example of a dangerous offensive play from Javonte Williams.

It’s early, but that scoring drive was exactly what I had in mind for Baltimore this postseason. When it’s time to control the pace of a game and take the stress off of Lamar in the pocket, the only answer they had was Lamar as a runner. Now they have Derrick Henry to hand out body blows, too.

One of the best things that happened this season is that running backs became cool again. And no one is cooler than King Henry. @diantelee.bsky.social: www.theringer.com/2025/01/10/n...

Stingley + Anderson. Unfair duo of star defenders to build around.

If you played in the street, you wanted to be picked to play RB. If you played youth ball, you wanted to be RB. If you created a player in a video game, you wanted to be RB. They tried to bury the coolest position in football, but 2024 was a RB renaissance: theringer.com/2025/01/10/n...

I appreciate the most important names in tech letting us know that it’s their personal mission to usher in the worst era of social engagement under this administration.

Won’t make the mistake of saying this is his best, but it’s got a seat at the table. music.apple.com/us/album/man...

There are more free rushers than I’m used to seeing from this offense, too. Darnold needs to be better but there are things to clean up on the playsheet too.

Darnold is wilting beneath all these Cover 0 calls. KOC will have to use all the calls that would beat Brian Flores in practice to win this game against Aaron Glenn.

Amon Ra is such a skeleton key as a blocker in this offense. That TD run may as well have been out of 22 Personnel. St Brown takes out run support and leaves the MOF safety one on one with Gibbs. When your slot receiver is a Tier 1 blocker you can do whenever you want in the run game.

That’s a clone of Julio Jones wearing an Ohio State jersey

There’s nothing better than watching your former player on TV playing through his technique and winning in his role. Especially when he’s wearing the best number in sports. Salute, 5. We’re proud of you.

In the biggest game of the year (so far), the Vikings defense allowed their fewest yards in seven weeks. Defenders say they're adjusting quicker than ever, pulling from stuff not in the game plan. They're also not that worried about the hurry-up issues. Story: www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

NFL fans should embrace an “Air Ball” chant for FGs that come up short

Penix can only throw on one plane, and it’s hurt him multiple times in today’s game. Lucky for him, Washington will allow a QB to have the throws he likes in key situations.

Brian Flores is unwell. You’re not supposed to be able to do this to Green Bay’s offense.

All but official for Kenny Pickett to be the starter for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Beyoncé's NFL Invitational gave us all the spectacle we desired, but there was still plenty to learn about the MVP and AFC playoff race on the field. My four takeaways about Bey, Lamar, a surging Chiefs offense and the NFL's undying need to be everywhere: theringer.com/2024/12/26/n...

People wanted the best quarterback in the NFL to play receiver coming out of college

If Lamar Jackson were the *only* pro player we sent to play Flag Football in the Olympics, it would still be the easiest gold medal the USA ever won.

Demeco’s tenure as head coach is gonna ride on the next decision he makes at OC

That’s the second or third Trap/Wham run already

Baltimore opened this game like a team that just saw the AFC North open up.

This is a big win for KCs defense. No Chris Jones, blitzes and simulated pressures aren’t getting home, but the pass rush has still been a factor in this game and they haven’t given up many chunk plays. They’ve covered their flaws better than any team in the NFL.

I’m not saying Justin Jefferson is the best ever, I’m just saying it’s hard to convince me anybody is actually BETTER at playing receiver than he is

Washington traded for Marshon Lattimore to have a guy for this matchup. Results so far aren’t encouraging
