The Bengals watched their playoff hopes go up in smoke as the season unfolded, but they were able to win for the second straight week when they faced the Browns last Sunday. Defensive tackle Geno Atkins played a big role in the 23-10 victory. Atkins welcomed Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III back to the playing…

It was reasonable to wonder if Vic Beasley was a first-round bust as a rookie. But he’s shattered those perceptions this year, picking up some hardware along the way. The Falcons pass-rusher was named NFC defensive player of the week after his three-sack day against the Rams. The No. 8 overall pick in 2015 managed…

Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell came into last Sunday’s game against the Bills on a streak of three straight games with at least 100 rushing yards. That was just a warmup for what he had in store for Buffalo, however. Bell set records for both the most rushing yards in a game by a Steeler…

Chiefs rookie Tyreek Hill has been named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after scoring on a 78-yard punt return in last Thursday night’s win over the Raiders. It was Hill’s ninth total touchdown of the season. He was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 12 after he scored a…

Aaron Rodgers didn’t need to finish a game to be the best player in the conference last week.

Rodgers was 18-of-23 passing for 246 yards and three touchdowns, before he was pulled in the fourth quarter with…

Philadelphia will look to win their 10th straight.

Tough time to toss a guy.

The Rams made their first roster move since firing Jeff Fisher as their head coach when they promoted cornerback Troy Hill from the practice squad. It’s Hill’s second stint on the 53-man roster this year. His first ended last month when the team released him in the wake of a DUI arrest and he wound…

Bills coach Rex Ryan thinks his team is better than it’s showing. After Sunday’s loss dropped the Bills to 6-7 on the season, Ryan said he still thinks he has a team that’s capable of being good, but he just doesn’t think that team has shown up on both sides of the ball for a…

Wednesday's collection of links.

The 49ers pushed their injured reserve list to an even dozen, by putting center Daniel Kilgore on season-ending IR for the second time in three years. Via Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News, Kilgore suffered a right knee injury during Sunday’s overtime loss to the Jets. They replaced him in the starting lineup…

We know you couldn’t watch all of the NBA’s Tuesday night lineup because you were focused on what a man’s face looks like in super slo-mo when getting hit by a ball. We’ve got you covered, here are the takeaways from Tuesday. 1) In Chicago, Thibodeau’s Timberwolves show tenacity, maturity. Get win. We clearly expected […]

Rams running back Todd Gurley didn’t borrow Steve Urkel’s catch phrase, but Gurley could have. After Sunday’s 42-14 loss to the Falcons, Gurley called the team’s offense a “middle school” attack, and he suggested that some of his teammates were just going through the motions the final weeks of a lost season. The next day,…

The Cowboys traveled to New Jersey for their Week 14 game against the Giants without wide receiver/kick returner Lucky Whitehead after Whitehead showed up late for team meetings on Saturday in a decision that coach Jason Garrett described as being in the best interest of the team.

History has been made in Japan.

The Belgian attacker picked up a knock in Sunday's win over West Brom.

Washington safety Deshazor Everett admitted he made a mistake, with the hit that gave Darren Sproles a concussion. And while it will cost him, it won’t cost him a game. According to Mike Jones and Mark Maske of the Washington Post, Everett will not be suspended by the league but will be fined for a violent…

The Jets have fallen back to Earth with a thud this season, primarily because their offense has fallen off a cliff. And that could put the architect of that offense on the chopping block (though he’d ultimately be a victim of his own success last year and the expectations it created). Manish Mehta of the…

That’s Wednesday’s question of the day for PFT Live. Pick a team, drop a comment, and tune in for the show. Which actually is…
