The Milwaukee Brewers took a commanding 3-0 lead in the World Series on Monday with a dominant win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, but their passionate fans made it feel like a home game, even after the game was finished. Kevin Burkhardt told viewers the stadium felt like an extension of Milwaukee. "There’s always visiting fans in a ballpark, and any time, especially when a visiting team […]

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more difficult watch than Sunday’s Packers-Lions game, due to the officiating. The Chiefs could say the same thing about their offense on Sunday night. On the flip side, how about those Cowboys? Their offense got back on track — with a wrinkle. In New York, Cam Skattebo reasserted himself as the Giants’ RB1. Here’s my breakdown of the best and worst from Week 7, […]

Who is the best team in football? That’s not an easy question to answer anymore. The last undefeated team (Minnesota Vikings) barely has a functional offense. The powerful San Francisco 49ers have turned the ball over eight times in their past three games. The Kansas City Chiefs were just pounded by the defending champion Seattle Seahawks, who already have three losses. Every team in the top 10 has at least […]

The San Francisco 49ers sat atop my rankings in each of the past three weeks. Though the injuries mounted, it seemed like head coach Kyle Shanahan had built an efficient enough machine to withstand them. It all finally caught up to the 49ers on Sunday in Atlanta. Then, in the Sunday nightcap on the other side of the country, another undefeated team went down when the Seahawks dominated the Kansas […]

Following another upset-filled Saturday in college football, Joel Klatt has another new No. 1 team in the country. Miami takes over the top spot after routing Pitt 52-23 behind four touchdown passes from Darian Mensah. BYU tumbles from No. 1 to No. 10 after a double-overtime loss at UCF. Ohio State stays at No. 2 during its bye week, and Indiana climbs to No. 3 after an overtime win at […]

Kenneth Walker III had the chance to prove that he was the league’s most impactful offseason signing. But he didn’t. And as his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, took down his current team, the Kansas City Chiefs, Walker must have felt like he needed help — like the Chiefs’ additions should not stop with him. At least, that’s what I came away thinking. Patrick Mahomes still needs help. It was […]

With each passing week, are the so-called overreactions starting to become reality? That might be the case after Sunday's slate of games. Week 7 brought us some more exciting finishes around the NFL, but we also got some pretty strong statements. The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks showed that they shouldn't be doubted in their decisive win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Elsewhere, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns […]

For most of Dan Campbell’s tenure with the Detroit Lions, he’s had an offense good enough to compete for a Super Bowl, but a defense that played like an anchor dragging his team down. It’s been the only thing missing from his championship puzzle. On Sunday, that missing piece was found. The Lions showed what they hadn’t shown all season long in their 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers: […]

This year's Dream Team hasn't had a dream start. After entering the season as the overwhelming Super Bowl favorite, the Los Angeles Rams are 2-4 and lagging well behind the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West race. Los Angeles' latest loss was its most disappointing yet, with the Rams being on the wrong side of the biggest upset of this NFL season when they lost to the Arizona Cardinals […]
