The San Francisco 49ers operate in a league of their own when it comes to impressive performances this season. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1097498/...

Before the action tips off Saturday afternoon, here’s the biggest question facing each of the four participating teams. www.sbnation.com/college-bask...

A loss on Thursday night marred by those two interceptions would give more evidence to the notion that despite his regular-season success, Darnold cannot deliver in the big games. He did that on Thursday night. And slayed some ghosts along the way. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1095938/...

This just might be the craziest successful two-point conversion in NFL history. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1095890/...

People will compare the Tua situation to Russell Wilson, but it is more like Kirk Cousins (without the first-rounder in waiting) For @sbnation.bsky.social

There are 31 multi-billion businesses run like corporations in the NFL , and then there’s the Bengals — who answer the question “What if Temu managed an NFL team?” www.sbnation.com/nfl/1095043/...

There’s a very real chance the Thunder land the No. 1 overall pick in the loaded 2026 draft AND win another NBA championship. www.sbnation.com/nba/1094475/...

Now, obviously, Clark is a huge part of every WNBA conversation these days, but it seems like a stretch to bring her up in a conversation that is supposed to be about A’ja Wilson’s year. www.sbnation.com/womens-sport...

One fascinating wrinkle emerged on Tuesday that actually pieces this all together in a fascinating way: Rivers knows the offense from coaching his son’s high school team. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1094342/...

The Houston Texans defense when they see Phillip Rivers trot out onto the field.

The real question was: How can you effectively tank for a better draft pick while also allowing Shedeur Sanders to shine? You simply take him off the field when it matters and put it in Quinshon Judkins’ hands. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1093828/...

Draft season is finally here. Let’s kick it off with our latest mock draft from our very own @markschofield.bsky.social. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1091884/...

What makes Kiffin's courtship with LSU particularly galling is the fact that he is actively abandoning an Ole Miss team that is still in contention for a national championship. And make no mistake, it will all end terribly. www.sbnation.com/college-foot...
