The Packers may be without running back AJ Dillon for the rest of Sunday’s game against the Vikings. Dillon is questionable to return with a stinger, Green Bay announced. Dillon has seven carries for 27 yards so far on Sunday. The Vikings have reached the end zone in large part due to a Packers special teams mistake. Returner Samori Toure …

Josh Allen ran for two touchdowns, cornerback Rasul Douglas returned one of his two interceptions for a score and the Buffalo Bills maintained their clear path to the playoffs with a 27-21 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. The three-time division champion Bills (10-6) now prepare for a season-ending showdown at the Dolphins (11-5) next weekend that will …

The Eagles will face the Giants at MetLife Stadium at 4:25 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 7 in a game that will be televised on CBS. The other NFC games scheduled to kick off at 4:25 are Cowboys-Commanders, …

The biggest play of the Dallas Cowboys’ dramatic 20-19 win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday was one that didn’t count.  As has been well publicized by now, Lions offensive lineman Taylor Decker’s reception on what would’ve been the go-ahead two-point conversion in the final seconds of Saturday’s showdown was negated because lead official Brad Allen said Decker didn’t report …

Ralph Vacchiano NFC East Reporter Jonathan Gannon wasn’t exactly a beloved defensive coordinator in Philadelphia, but he helped build a championship-caliber defense in his two seasons with the Eagles. They were the second-best defense in the NFL when he left after last year. Surely he couldn’t recognize the mess he left behind. That Eagles’ once-proud defense showed once again how …

Week 17 of the NFL season saw the two best teams in the NFL clinch the top seeds in their respective conferences with resounding wins, while two of their supposed top challengers went out with a whimper. The path to the Super Bowl will head through Baltimore and San Francisco, and neither conference has a second team that appears to …

Christian McCaffrey left the San Francisco 49ers’ win against the Washington Commanders on Sunday with a right calf injury that coach Kyle Shanahan thinks could be a strain but hopes is not serious. Clinching the top seed in the NFC and rendering next week’s regular-season finale meaningless certainly helps, giving McCaffrey roughly three weeks to heal up before needing to …

Carmen Vitali NFC North Reporter The outcome of Sunday Night Football between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings on New Year’s Eve was never really in doubt. The Vikings were starting their fifth-round rookie quarterback as a last resort. They had already lost star tight end T.J. Hockenson to an ACL tear the week prior. Their complex defense was …

If 2023 becomes Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s final year in New England, he’ll exit with a strange set of bookends. Sunday’s loss to the Bills clinched New England’s first last-place finish in the AFC East since Belichick’s first year on the job, in 2000. That year, the Pats went 5-11. This year, they’re 4-12 with one game left, a Week …

Every year, the NFL waits as long as possible before announcing the full Week 18 schedule and that announcement finally came on Sunday night.  The final week of the NFL season will kick off on Saturday with a doubleheader and then close out on Sunday night with the Dolphins and Bills battling in Miami with the winner taking home the …

The San Francisco 49ers took care of business Sunday with a 27-10 victory over the Washington Commanders to remain atop the NFC. But in order to clinch the No. 1 seed in the conference, the 49ers needed some help from the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, who were facing the No. 2 seed Philadelphia Eagles.  And they got it, with Kyler Murray …

Getty Images The 49ers have had some pretty good quarterbacks. Some of the NFL’s all-time greats, in fact. None of them has thrown for as many yards in a season as Brock Purdy, though, and Purdy might have accomplished it on his very last throw of the regular season. The former Mr. Irrelevant is up to 4,280 yards passing this …

Week 17 of the NFL certainly cleaned up a few playoff races in the AFC and NFC. The Dallas Cowboys are one win away from a division title while the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.  The AFC East is still up for grabs, setting up a showdown between the Buffalo Bills and …

Five things I care about The Ravens demonstrate their complete transformation The Ravens took down the 49ers and Dolphins, two of the best operations in the league, by a combined 51 points in back-to-back weeks. They did it on the way to clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and vaulting their quarterback to the driver’s seat of the …
