That seems weird. You would think if a running back was gobbling up a bunch of yards (and scoring 18 touchdowns) his team would be tending to win games...
Brees (part 2)

, 2019
I will present the numbers in another way.
It was in 2008 that Brees first started putting up gigantic numbers. He tossed 34 touchdowns that year, and with his first 5,000-yard season...

If you're scouring the waiver wire to replace someone like Godwin, you're probably looking at some similar types of names. Russell Gage, Anthony Miller, etc. But I'm considering Tampa Bay's No...

Tennessee doesn’t have a great pass defense; that’s a factor. It’s bottom 10 in passing yards allowed, and it’s given up multiple touchdown passes in over half of its games...
Oakland-Alameda

, 2019
I remember a Thursday night game back in 2015, when the Rams were playing their last game in St. Louis. They took care of the Bucs pretty easily, winning 31-23...
Red-hot Titans

, 2019
Only three other teams have averaged over 30 points in the last eight weeks, and they’re all ones that we hear a lot more about – Ravens, 49ers, Saints.
They look like a team that could go on a ru...
Hunter Henry

The Chargers host Minnesota, and Henry -- who averages 60 receiving yards -- still looks like a fine option at tight end...
Jared Goff

Since 2000, 78 teams have averaged at least 280 passing yards per game. Only six of those teams didn’t throw at least 25 touchdown passes. And all of them finished with at least 21 TD passes...
The real McCoy
4 Dec
, 2019
McCoy should be the main guy, probably playing more than he has in any game all year.
Thompson is a neat little player, but he doesn’t have much experience – a 200-pound free agent rookie who play...
T.J. Hockenson
2 Dec
, 2019
It’s not as if the Lions didn’t try to use him. Hockenson has seen 59 targets – only nine tight ends saw more...

If you like bad pass defense, in fact, it’s been your year. The Cardinals, Bucs and Raiders are all on pace to finish with bottom-5 pass defenses of all time...

That didn't work out two weeks ago...
Recycled backs
24 Nov
, 2019
This happens a little more often than you might think (a player not hitting until he gets to his second or third team)...
Hollywood Brown
20 Nov
, 2019
Brown can be a difference maker. He showed that over and over again at Oklahoma. And he torched the Dolphins in his first game as a pro, catching 4 passes for 147 yards and 2 TDs...

Yes, New York ranks No. 1 in run defense. But they've climbed to those heights by a month of facing lousy rushing games and lesser offensive lines...
