AMERICAN FAMILY FIELD (Milwaukee) – The scene was understandably quiet in the visiting clubhouse Monday night, save for the clanking of silverware from the kitchen in the back and the zipping of bags as the Dodgers prepared to return home in unfamiliar territory. For the first time since getting swept out of the 2023 National League Division Series, the defending back-to-back champions are staring at a 2-0 deficit in a […]

It’s been a weird start to the NFL season. Nobody could have predicted the Vikings and Giants would be among the teams with the best records. And few would’ve thought the Texans and Chargers would be down near the bottom. There’s a long way to go, of course, but there are at least some certain truths that are beginning to emerge about 2026. And the biggest might be this: The […]

Niners-Seahawks put us on the edge of our seats, while Commanders-Giants left us … shaking our heads in disbelief. In Packers land, the arrow is pointing up after a whooping of a fierce division rival. Then there’s Nashville, where hopes keep lowering for the Titans. In my Best and Worst superlatives coming out of Week 5, I focus on game play, defenses and overall team quality: Monday night was fantastic, […]

It felt like receivers defined this week, whether it was Justin Jefferson's incredible catch over three defenders to help the Vikings beat the Saints — or whether it was Jaxon Smith-Njigba's drop on the Seahawks' game-losing drive against the 49ers. We'll talk endlessly about quarterbacks — and for good reason. (I'll get to plenty of QB talk.) But let's kick things off with an ode to a receiver who's changing […]

Three teams moved into my top 10 this week, with the Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders all moving out. The teams that beat the Bears and the Raiders, meanwhile, moved in. The San Francisco 49ers remain at the top after an impressive win over the reigning-champion Seahawks. San Francisco might be there for a while with games at home against the Commanders, on the road against the […]

Michigan made history last April by winning the national championship with a starting lineup of five transfers — the first team ever to accomplish that feat — which raises my biggest question heading into this season: Is building a championship roster through the transfer portal the new normal? While the Wolverines proved that a talented group of newcomers can come together and win it all, I still believe continuity matters, […]

Sunday's NFL slate somehow had a little bit of everything. We arguably had the best game of the young season, with the San Francisco 49ers taking down the Seattle Seahawks in a thriller to remain undefeated. The Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars had two lead changes in the final 15 seconds of their game in London. Sunday also brought us our first tie of the year, and a rare headliner […]

One game into the National League Championship Series, and the Brewers have already demonstrated that they’re not the same team they were a year ago. After getting swept by the eventual champion Dodgers in last year’s NLCS, the Brewers took Game 1 of the rematch on Sunday by beating Tarik Skubal, the ace who got away at the trade deadline. Here are my takeaways: It was billed as one of […]

On Friday, legendary Chicago Bears player and coach Mike Ditka passed away at age 86 at his home, his family announced. Even with him gone, his unforgettable NFL career and the impact he made will never be forgotten. During "FOX NFL Sunday," Terry Bradshaw, Jay Glazer, Michael Strahan and Rob Gronkowski shared their favorite memories of Ditka. Bradshaw, who spent the most time around Ditka, made sure to highlight his […]
