AFC North

The last time Baltimore and Pittsburgh shared a field, Tyler Loop missed a 44-yard field goal as time expired and the Ravens went home. The Steelers won the AFC North. Harbaugh got fired two days later. That is where this story starts. Not with the Maxx Crosby trade. Not with the national media crowning Baltimore...

The Baltimore Ravens just gave up two first-round picks for Maxx Crosby. First time in 31 years of franchise history they traded a first-rounder for a player. They did it twice in the same phone call. They looked at Joe Burrow in that division and decided the price of getting him out of their way...

The Pittsburgh Steelers need to stop waiting for Aaron Rodgers. Free agency opens March 11th. He told Pat McAfee there’s no contract offer, no deadline, nothing to debate. That’s not a man weighing his options. That’s a man enjoying his offseason while an entire NFL franchise idles in the parking lot. They’ve been here before....

Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy is proof they’re fine with 10-7 and a quick playoff exit, and I’m done pretending it’s a plan. This is the most Steelers thing the Steelers could do in 2026: dress up “same old” as “new leadership” and hope the fanbase shuts up because the guy’s from Pittsburgh. If you’re mad,...

If your “win now” team cannot score 10 points, what exactly are you winning? The Steelers just lost 13-6 to the Browns. They got a late drive inside the Browns 10 and still walked off with nothing. Aaron Rodgers went 21-for-39 for 168 yards, which is the statistical definition of “we were present.” And now...

I can already hear it. “A Steelers home playoff game is awesome.” “Be happy they won the North.” “Be happy they made the playoffs.” “Anything can happen in January.” Cool. I’m not doing that. If the Steelers host a playoff game, that’s nice. That’s progress. That’s better than traveling. That’s the kind of thing some...

They scored 42 points yesterday and still lost. They scored 38 the week before and still lost. That is not a fluke. That is not a bad beat. That is a structural collapse with big money attached to one side of the roster and nothing left over to stop opponents from walking down the field...

Derrick Henry isn’t getting an Adam Sandler cameo this year. Let’s just be real about it. Sandler said he’d put the King in one of his movies if he ran for 2,000 yards this season. It was funny, it was cool, it gave everyone something to root for. But unless Henry goes full Madden-glitch for...

The Cleveland Browns and Dillon Gabriel just got their teeth kicked in by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 23 to 9. This wasn’t one of those “closer than it looked” games either. From the first snap, the Browns looked lost, unprepared, and flat-out uninterested. Aaron Rodgers diced them up for 235 yards and two touchdowns while the...

Let’s just get right to it. The Baltimore Ravens got absolutely embarrassed today. The Texans walked into their house, kicked their feet up on the couch, raided the fridge, and beat them 44 to 10. That wasn’t football. That was a public undressing. It looked like a varsity squad scrimmaging against the local JV team....

The Cincinnati Bengals are the biggest joke in the NFL right now. Forget “Who Dey.” It’s “Who Cares.” This team is unserious in every sense of the word. They are built like a middle schooler’s Madden franchise: dump all your cap money into three shiny toys, Burrow, Chase, and Higgins, then pray the rest of...

Lamar Jackson is electric with the ball in his hands. Speed, arm talent, charisma, all of it. But we are crowning him too early. Until he wins a Lombardi he is a stat merchant. Show the hardware first. Show the clutch wins. Until then the GOAT talk is empty. Last night told the story again....
