He’s Back

It’s a good problem to have when you start a game with a future hall of fame quarterback as your backup. When it was clear that Brock Osweiler was struggling, as was the offense, head coach Gary Kubiak made the change to start the second half. Continue reading →

Undefeated No More

It was bound to end at some point this season. If Carolina had finished the season undefeated, they would have lost in the playoffs. How do I know that?

A Statement Made In Cincy

There’s no love lost between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals. There’s a lot of history between these two, but especially in the last decade. The Bengals could have clinched their playoff spot with a win against the Steelers, but they weren’t going to let that happen. Continue reading →
