Undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls is done for the year with a broken ankle and torn ankle ligaments (coach Pete Carroll said the ligament injury is the bigger concern), which means that the Seahawks now need veteran running back Marshawn Lynch to return. Unless they don’t. The Seattle offense continues to work very well without Lynch,…

Mike McCarthy may have taken back the play calling duties in Green Bay, but he couldn’t get the team in the end zone despite having four plays inside the Cowboys’ five-yard-line. Eddie Lacy was stopped short of the end zone, Aaron Rodgers threw a ball away under pressure and James Starks was ruled down short…

It's looking more like Irving will play on Christmas.

All the talk about LeSean McCoy that consumed the days leading up to Sunday’s matchup between the Bills and Eagles didn’t wind up mattering much when the game was being decided in the final minutes. McCoy did fine, picking up 109 yards from scrimmage, but he didn’t break any hearts in Philadelphia because the Eagles…

He may eventually be a part of their road trip.

Kevin Harvick is the only driver to make Sports Illustrated's Social 100 list of athletes that excel in social media.

Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls broke his ankle on the game’s first drive Sunday in Baltimore and is done for the season. Rawls, an undrafted rookie, carried six times for 44 yards before suffering the injury. He’s performed well in the absence of Marshawn Lynch even as Russell Wilson and the passing game have taken…

The Panthers didn’t come out completely unscathed Sunday. Head coach Ron Rivera told reporters after the game that starting cornerback Bene Benwikere suffered a broken leg in the 38-0 win over the Falcons, testing an already thin secondary for the 13-0 Panthers. Rivera did have good news, however, as he said the foot injury to…

Atletico Madrid were the big winners in La Liga this weekend, taking advantage of points dropped by Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The Bengals lost quarterback Andy Dalton early in Sunday’s loss to the Steelers, with a thumb injury. The Bengals won’t be getting him back soon. Coach Marvin Lewis told reporters after the game that Dalton will miss at least next week’s game against the 49ers. He also said, via Aditi Kinhabwala of NFL Media, that…

The Bengals would have claimed the AFC North title with a victory over the Steelers on Sunday, but things remain very much in doubt at the close of business at Paul Brown Stadium. The Steelers won 33-20 to close the gap between the teams to two games with three to play. That’s still a good-sized lead, but…

The final pass of the game hit Danny Woodhead in the hands, but Woodhead wasn’t able to bring it in. The Chiefs’ win streak lives on. That’s seven straight victories for the Chiefs, who improved to 8-5 with a 10-3 win over the Chargers Sunday. The Chargers got to the Chiefs’ 1-yard line in the…

The AFC South will not go quietly. Although maybe it should. The division which would not be won took another turn Sunday, with the Jaguars rolling in the second half to a 51-16 win over Indianapolis. The win snapped the Colts’ 16-game division winning streak, and dropped them to 6-7. The Jaguars are a game behind…

The Panthers have reached the point in the season they have to worry about being careful with key personnel. And for most of Sunday, that’s all they had to worry about. The Panthers extended their league-best record to 13-0 with a 38-0 win over the Falcons, their 17th straight regular season win. In the process,…

If you turned off Sunday’s game between the Jets and Titans at halftime, you didn’t miss all that much that had to do with the final outcome. You did miss a nifty bit of trickery by the Titans, who scored their only touchdown of the game when running back Antonio Andrews took a direct snap…

Washington remains a first-place team, for whatever that’s worth in the lousy NFC East. In a close, back-and-forth game today in Chicago, Washington managed to hang on and win 24-21. It was a game that Washington led most of the way but nearly threw away with some questionable decisions in the fourth quarter, but in…

The Saints might not have much to play for. But they do have a pulse. With a 24-17 win over the Buccaneers, the Saints snapped a four-game losing streak, to improve to 5-8. Now, that’s not much to brag about, but it beats the alternative, as they were able to slow some of the momentum…

Rams coach Jeff Fisher likes to win with good defense and a good running game, and he did that today. Fisher’s last two first-round draft picks, running back Todd Gurley and defensive tackle Aaron Donald, both had outstanding games today as the Rams beat the Lions, 21-14. Gurley had 16 carries for 140 yards and…
