Where Does Shedeur Sanders Stand in the Browns’ QB Battle? There were some good moments in the rookie’s preseason debut. But has anything changed for Sanders in the NFL’s weirdest quarterback competition?

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...

Can Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin Make It Work? This partnership in Pittsburgh could be the NFL’s best redemption story. Or it could all go up in flames.

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...

Ed is still my GOAT but it would be dishonest not to recognize him as one of the 3 greatest ever tbh

Bluesky isn’t as funny but at least the people who finish in 5th place aren’t as insufferable on here

Still believe in Dak, and defense was way better when Micah came back

I was on the fence since his big breakout came late in the season when he had 100% of the workload

he’s most likely gonna earn that badge this year

How the Eagles Erased Patrick Mahomes From Super Bowl LIX The Chiefs’ superstar quarterback seemed invincible all season. Then Philadelphia’s defense shut him down.

So, about Patrick Mahomes's very bad day. How did Vic Fangio and the Eagles defense essentially erase the greatest QB of this generation? @diantelee.bsky.social on Fangio's immaculate plan:

Everyone Blitzes, but No One Does It Better Than Steve Spagnuolo. The Chiefs Defense Told Me Why. Kansas City’s defensive coordinator is a maestro when it comes to attacking opponents. He could be the not-so-secret key to Super Bowl LIX.

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.

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.

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.

The Year of the NFL’s Running Back Revival The running back market hit rock bottom in 2023. Now, thanks to transcendent seasons from Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry, the position is cooler, and more relevant, than ever.

One of the best things that happened this season is that running backs became cool again. And no one is cooler than King Henry.

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...

Won’t make the mistake of saying this is his best, but it’s got a seat at the table.

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.
