As MDS recently explained it, the NFL needs to explain why Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett wasn’t fined or suspended for diving at the knees of Jaguars center Brandon Linder. While the league has not yet provided an on-the-record explanation (it may be coming at the next Joe Lockhart media briefing), a source with knowledge [more]

This one could be a little bit awkward.

Carson Wentz threw 33 touchdowns this year before tearing his ACL against the Rams last weekend and the Eagles offense hasn’t stopped finding the end zone with Nick Foles at the helm. Foles threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor with 5:47 to go in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Giants. [more]

Perhaps it's the bias talking from the former Red Devils star, but Wayne Rooney doesn't believe the Premier League leaders have surpassed one of his ex-squads.

All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner will play against the Rams. The Seahawks listed Wagner as questionable with a hamstring injury. He did not practice all week. Wagner’s presence means Michael Wilhoite will remain at strongside linebacker. Seattle, though, will not have linebacker K.J. Wright, who is inactive after not clearing concussion protocol. D.J. Alexander will replace [more]

Thomas Davis has handed out plenty of big hits in his career. The latest seemed to bother him as much as it did Packers wide receiver Davante Adams. Adams is being evaluated for a concussion, after Davis drilled him, helmet-t0-helmet following an interception. The former Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year was penalized for [more]

The Steelers will have to wait at least another week for cornerback Joe Haden‘s return to the lineup. Haden has missed the last four games after fracturing his fibula, but was listed as questionable for Sunday’s home game against the Patriots after returning to practice during the week. The Steelers obviously didn’t see what they [more]

Ravens wide receiver Jeremy Maclin won’t return with the team having ruled him out with a knee injury. Maclin returned from the injury for one series but left and did not return. Chris Moore replaced Maclin as Baltimore’s No. 2 receiver. Maclin had one catch for 22 yards before leaving. The Ravens continue to hold [more]

The Jaguars destroyed the Texans in the first half, beating them every which way but loose. Jacksonville leads 31-0 at halftime. The Jaguars defense has two sacks (Calais Campbell and Malik Jackson) and a takeaway (an interception by Barry Church). A touchdown by linebacker Myles Jack was reversed by replay, as T.J. Yates‘ arm was [more]

The Giants looked nothing like the 2017 Giants to open Sunday’s game against the Eagles and raced out to a 20-7 lead as a result. Things reverted to what we’ve grown accustomed to seeing a short time after their lead hit 13 points, however. Eli Manning was intercepted by Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby and Kamu [more]

The Saints looked ready to run away with Sunday’s game against the Jets at a couple of different points in the first half, but they couldn’t quite do it. Drew Brees threw a pass under heavy pressure from Xavier Cooper that Cooper’s fellow defensive lineman Leonard Williams picked off inside the Saints’ 20-yard-line with under [more]

The Ravens have 219 yards of offense and a 17-10 lead over the Browns, but they could have had more. Baltimore had one drive stall at the Cleveland 13 forcing the Ravens to settle for a 31-yard field from Justin Tucker. Later, the Ravens turned it over on downs inside the Cleveland 5. On first-and-goal [more]

"We have to be consistently good because we are Liverpool," Klopp said.

The Vikings are about to start another win streak. They’re up 24-0 on the Bengals at halftime, and are back to playing the kind of dominant football which marked their eight-game win streak which was broken a week ago. They’ve outgained the Bengals 209-42 in the first half, and have sacked Andy Dalton three times [more]

It would be wrong to say Aaron Rodgers looks like he hasn’t skipped a beat. But it would also be wrong to say he’s not still Aaron Rodgers. The Packers quarterback has had an up-and-down first half in his return to action from a broken collarbone, and has given his team a 14-10 halftime lead [more]

Bell ended his 13-race Midget schedule with 10 wins.

Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler headed to the locker room in the first half. He has a hamstring injury and is questionable to return. Fowler had a tackle and a hit on Houston quarterback T.J. Yates before leaving. He has 6.5 sacks and 16 tackles this season. The Jaguars also lost receiver Marqise Lee in [more]

So the Panthers launched an investigation regarding owner Jerry Richardson after learning that Sports Illustrated was investigating the situation, and now the NFL has launched an investigation that supersedes the team investigation. The investigation should be happening under the Personal Conduct Policy, given the breadth of the provision. And if it is, a separate problem [more]

The Jaguars dominated the Texans in Week 1, winning 29-7, with 10 sacks, four takeaways and a defensive score. It’s more of the same in Week 15. Jacksonville leads 21-0 in the second quarter and had another touchdown overturned on replay. Calais Campbell, who had four sacks in the season opener, already has a sack [more]

Is what an NBA player says in a public arena private? And what should be the separation between players, media, and fans on the floor?

His line with Kevin Fiala and Craig Smith has been even better than just about anyone expected.

The Giants last scored 20 points in a game in Week 10, so there was little reason to expect their offense to come out firing on all cylinders against the Eagles on Sunday. As the saying goes, that’s why they play the games. The Giants are up 20-7 after wide receiver Sterling Shepard motored down [more]

Perspective is a major challenge when a team is as doing as well as Manchester City.

So why did the Panthers launch an investigation regarding workplace misconduct by team owner Jerry Richardson? Because the Panthers found out that someone else already was. That someone was Sports Illustrated, and the SI story has landed, with L. Jon Wertheim and Viv Bernstein authoring a lengthy item with plenty of details about the situation. [more]
