15 players to watch amid NFL trade deadline buzz Original
Take a look at the NFL standings. There's no sure thing this season. Once the Los Angeles Rams got off to a rocky start, it opened things up around the league. There is no runaway team this season, and there is also a group of teams already looking ahead to 2027. That could lead to a ton of activity before the NFL's trade deadline, which is on Nov. 10.
Seahawks need to make another trade to fix their ‘limited’ offense

NFL Panic Meter: With other contenders making big trades, the Rams have to figure out a way to keep up Original
The Los Angeles Rams pushed a lot of chips to the middle of the table over the offseason. Then, when they came out of the gates slow, other teams saw an opportunity. Last week, the Seattle Seahawks made a big move for guard Quenton Nelson and the San Francisco 49ers got a big acquisition in defensive lineman DeForest Buckner. The NFC West got a lot harder.

NFL Week 9 betting: 5 biggest storylines, including the Bears and Jaguars creeping up Super Bowl odds Original
The Los Angeles Chargers still haven't done anything for bettors this season. There are no undefeated teams left in the NFL after the Vikings lost in Week 8, and only one winless team. That's the Chargers. There is also only one team that is undefeated or winless against the spread. That's also the Chargers, who are 0-6-1 according to Action Network's standings. It has been a long season for the Chargers, and anyone backing them.
NFL Power Rankings entering Week 9: Broncos are 6-2 but need to improve, perhaps with some pre-deadline trades Original
NFC East: | | | NFC North: | | | NFC South: | | | NFC West: | | | AFC East: | | | AFC North: | | | AFC South: | | | AFC West: | | | The Denver Broncos went 14-3 last season with an inordinate amount of wins in close games. Everyone said that was unsustainable and they were due for regression. This season, the Broncos are 6-2 with an inordinate amount of wins in close games. Take that, regression police. Somehow, the Broncos are again pulling off what should be impossible.
NFL Monday Night Football preview: Bears and Seahawks battle with new trade acquisitions on both sides Original
The Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks didn't wait for the trade deadline to make major moves. The Seahawks decided to fix their run game by beefing up the offensive line. They traded for guard Quenton Nelson, an eight-time Pro Bowler. In Nelson's Seattle debut, he'll see a familiar face on the other side. For years in the AFC South, Nelson and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons battled when Simmons was with the Tennessee Titans.

NFL Week 8 Winners and Losers: Lamar Jackson's thumb injury could lead to a sad ending for him and Ravens Original
It's stunning to think that the Baltimore Ravens could have almost a decade of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and not make the Super Bowl once. But it might be headed that way. The Lamar Jackson era was summed up fairly well Sunday. Jackson was back from an ankle injury. The two-time MVP's return brought hope that he could lift the Ravens back to being a Super Bowl contender, starting with a win at the Buffalo Bills. One offensive play in, all that hope was gone.
Packers take big lead and then hold on over Panthers, who are suddenly in a slump
Through the Carolina Panthers' first five games, it looked like Bryce Young was having an impressive breakout. There were even MVP chants. Those chants, and the idea that the Panthers might be making a big leap as a team, need to be paused. In five days, the Panthers walked back most of the positive strides they collectively had made in recent weeks.
Panthers vs. Packers live updates, inactives, where to watch: Jordan Love, Green Bay look to rebound on 'Thursday Night Football' vs. Bryce Young, Carolina Original
The Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers will open up Week 8 on "Thursday Night Football," with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field. The game will air on Prime Video. Despite just a 3-3 record, the Panthers hold the lead in the NFC South thanks to a tie-breaker over the Atlanta Falcons. They'll look to bounce back after an embarrassing home blowout against their division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, where they lost 43-13 with a season-high four turnovers.

NFL Thursday Night Football preview: Panthers and Packers try to rebound from frustrating losses Original
Is it worse to lose a close, heartbreaking game at the end, or be completely blown out? We could poll the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers. The two teams facing off this Thursday night are coming off losses, and those losses were much different. The Packers lost 20-17 to the Lions last week, with many miscues including a partially blocked field goal late in the game that would have tied it. Fans and players alike also had a lot of issues with the officiating.
Week 8 NFL picks against the spread, predictions for every game: Chiefs look to bounce back vs. Broncos Original
For the Denver Broncos, Week 1 had to feel like a bad flashback. The first 12 times that Patrick Mahomes started against the Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs were 12-0. Then there was a shift with Sean Payton in charge, and the Broncos won two of three against Mahomes and the Chiefs. Then the season opener was like old times. It wasn't Mahomes that ruined the Broncos in the opener, though he played pretty well.
Joe Burrow is positioned very well to win his first NFL MVP award Original
It has always seemed that at some point, Joe Burrow will win an NFL MVP award. He has been in the conversation before. In 2024 he might have won had the Cincinnati Bengals simply made the playoffs, but they were not good enough around him. This season, it might be his time. Burrow is fairly quietly having a season that might be his best in the NFL, and that's saying something. He has 1,653 yards, 15 touchdowns and three interceptions for a team that is now favored to win the AFC North.

NFL Week 8 betting: 5 biggest storylines, including the undefeated Vikings being underdogs Original
Home-field advantage keeps disappearing in the NFL. After the Dallas Cowboys won Monday night, road teams are 54-52-1 this season, according to Covers.com. The split gets even wider when the spread is involved. Road teams are 62-45 against the spread this season. Home-field advantage has been lessened through the years and through seven weeks this season, it really hasn't mattered at all.
NFL Panic Meter: Chiefs have to address their offensive issues now, before they regret it Original
The Kansas City Chiefs are 5-1 with only a road loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Overall, they're fine. Yet, Sunday night had to be an unnerving performance. The Seahawks were the first team to shut down Kenneth Walker III, and the Chiefs offense melted. They had the fewest points (3), yards (213) and first downs (11) in any start over Patrick Mahomes' career, according to NFL researcher Tony Holzman-Escareno. The Seahawks defense can do that to teams.
NFL Power Rankings entering Week 8: Vikings are last undefeated team, but are they No. 1? Original
NFC East: | | | NFC North: | | | NFC South: | | | NFC West: | | | AFC East: | | | AFC North: | | | AFC South: | | | AFC West: | | | One of the themes to this NFL season is a lack of permanence. Every time a team starts to look good, they take a bad loss. Teams we thought would be fantastic this season are hanging around .500 or below it. The circle of trust is small through seven weeks. In that scope, what the Minnesota Vikings have done is impressive.

NFL week 7 winners and losers: 49ers undefeated no more, as injuries finally too much to overcome in loss to Falcons
The San Francisco 49ers' injuries finally caught up to them. The 49ers battled the Atlanta Falcons, which was commendable given their long injury report. But trailing 26-20 late, Brock Purdy threw an interception to linebacker Kendal Daniels. That was it for the 49ers and their undefeated streak to start the season.
NFL Monday Night Football preview: Cowboys can't afford to lose to this version of the Eagles Original
The Philadelphia Eagles have a decent excuse for their 2-4 start. Injuries have hit hard, and now their injured list includes quarterback Jalen Hurts. It's not the only reason the Eagles are struggling, but it's a factor. The Dallas Cowboys don't really have many excuses for their 2-4 start. They just haven't played well. The defense has been bad most of the season and the offense has had two off games in a row.

Seahawks' defense clamps down on Kenneth Walker III, hand the Chiefs their first loss of the season Original
The Seattle Seahawks weren't going to let their old friend, Kenneth Walker III, beat them. Their defense wasn't interested in letting any of the Kansas City Chiefs do anything. The Seahawks had a spectacular defensive performance, shutting out the Chiefs in the first half and then keeping them out of the end zone in the second half on the way to a 20-3 win. Walker, the Super Bowl MVP with Seattle last season, had 36 yards rushing. No Chief had more than 44 yards receiving.

Week 7 NFL picks against the spread, predictions for every game: Chiefs look to stay undefeated vs. Seattle Original
If the Kansas City Chiefs win on Sunday night, it will be a sign to the NFL that they plan to reclaim their spot in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs had a rough 2025 season but that was clearly an aberration. They're 5-0 going into a primetime game against the Seattle Seahawks. Kenneth Walker III is a key figure in both teams' stories this season. Walker changed teams this offseason when the Seahawks let him go in free agency and he signed with the Chiefs.
NFL Thursday Night Football preview: Bears vs. Patriots features two hot teams with exciting young QBs Original
The 2024 NFL Draft made history. It was the first time six quarterbacks were taken in the top 12 picks. There's plenty of time to watch all six quarterbacks' careers play out and figure out how they rank. But early in their third seasons, two quarterbacks from that class seem to be separating themselves: Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears and Drake Maye of the New England Patriots (Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders could make it a three-way conversation, but he needs to stay healthy).

Texans QB C.J. Stroud bet on himself for a bigger payday, and that might be working out great Original
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is in just his fourth NFL season. That's a bit surprising given how many ups and downs he has already had. Stroud's career seems to be back on the upswing. He played a fantastic game last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, leading the Texans to a win. He was AFC Offensive Player of the Week with 312 yards and three touchdowns against a good Jaguars defense. Stroud led all quarterbacks in EPA (expected points added) per play in Week 6.
