Seattle Seahawks Won't Panic About the Turnovers. The Sacks Are the Problem. One item crossed the wire today, one club on the docket, and the Seattle Seahawks would like it known they're handling…
NFL News
The latest from every team in the league.
The NFC East lost every game it played in Week 5, a clean sweep of failure that has happened just four times since the 2002 divisional realignment, per CBS Sports. The Giants lost too.
Tyler Huntley's passer rating says 111.6. His QBR says 79.0. When those two numbers disagree by that much, trust the QBR, and in this case it answers the question ESPN's Week 5 takeaways package asked…
The Bears won twice without Caleb Williams, and that is the least interesting fact about his absence. Look at what the quarterback position actually produced in his place.
Denver is 3-2 with a minus-14 point differential. Read that twice. The Broncos have scored 97 points and allowed 111 across five games, and they're a game over .500 anyway.
A one-clip NFL Tuesday: Adam Schefter, on ESPN's air, saying everyone deserves blame for the Washington Commanders' clock management fiasco. That's the day's news.
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen Is a Hollywood Star, and the Rushing Numbers Are Why ESPN published a feature on Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen as a star on and off the field, Hollywood and endorsem…
Sean McVay announced two roster moves at his press conference: the Rams released kicker Mevis and signed kicker Blake. Then he spent part of the session un-saying something else.
A short board Tuesday: Pittsburgh loses a receiver for multiple weeks, New England loses the man protecting its quarterback's blind side, and the NFL's discipline office opens a file on Dre Greenlaw.
NFL Week 5 Roundup: Penix Hurt in Falcons Loss, Titans' QB Question Three clubs, three different kinds of Monday. Atlanta is waiting on a rib. Tennessee is arguing about its quarterback.
Two quarterback conversations are driving the league's news cycle, and in both of them the consensus is litigating the wrong man. Start in Las Vegas, where the No. 1 pick finally got on the field.
49ers Lose Deebo Samuel and Dre Greenlaw in Seahawks Clash as Murray, Maye and Jacksonville Deliver Sunday in the NFL produced one genuinely ugly divisional game, one quarterback turning back the cloc…
Titans stick with Cam Ward after Houston's defense buries Tennessee Houston's pass rush never needed a disguise. Will Anderson Jr. lined up, won his rep, and did it again, finishing with three sacks…
The Eagles' injury report is starting to look like a struck-through depth chart. Saquon Barkley, hamstring. DeVonta Smith, hamstring. Tank Bigsby, injured reserve.
The Texans keep shopping for a second receiver. Marvin Harrison Jr. might be the first one they've acquired who isn't really a second anything.
NFL Week 5 Odds and Picks: Packers vs. Bears, Texans Week 5 lines are out from CBS Sports and SportsLine, and the two games they put at the top of the board are the ones actually worth arguing about:…
Week 5 is a weather week, and the fantasy industry's answer to uncertainty is always the same: fresh rankings. Rain is in the forecast for Browns-Jets and Giants-Commanders, Miami's heat gets a mentio…
Saturday's transaction wire carried one subtraction and one near-milestone. The Patriots placed veteran receiver Mack Hollins on injured reserve with a calf injury, and the Saints' Alvin Kamara sits f…
No designation, no 'day-to-day' — just 'protocol,' with a bye next. That's a timeline the Vikings have no incentive to accelerate.
Kubiak's conditional framing — 'if he can't go' — plus a refused injury timeline reads closer to doubtful than the tag suggests.
First game without MHJ: McBride 9-66, Higgins 3-57, Wilson 4-30. Arizona replaced its No. 1 WR with a formation, not a player.
Denver won 23-17. Denver's quarterback averaged 4.6 yards per attempt. Bo Nix went 16 of 27 for 123 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions. He also fumbled twice and lost one.
Deshaun Watson was sacked eight times. Cleveland scored 12 points. Those are the same sentence. The Browns are 3-2 and I don't buy it.
New Orleans had the ball with under three minutes left in a 10-point game, and the only remaining question was how the Saints would fail to make it interesting.
Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes for 190 yards. That is the story of Cincinnati's 31-24 win over Miami, and it's also the reason to be skeptical of the scoreboard.
Tampa Bay walked in at 1-4 and left with a 24-16 win over Dallas, and the highlight reel will belong to Bucky Irving. He earned it: 21 carries, 165 yards, 7.
Jared Goff threw for 412 yards and Detroit's final snap ended on its own 22. That is the whole case against the Lions after a 32-26 loss to Carolina.
Green Bay is 2-2 and it needed a Tampa Bay meltdown to get there. The Packers beat the Buccaneers 17-14 on the road, and the defining sequence of the afternoon belonged to the team that lost.
The Jaguars are 3-1 because Trevor Lawrence kept the ball out of the wrong hands. The Bengals are 2-2 because their final snap left them at the Jacksonville 12.
The Jets threw for 321 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, got a 129.8 passer rating from Geno Smith, and lost by seven. Detroit 31, New York 24.
Houston took the lead with 1:48 left. It held it for 92 seconds. S. Shrader's 53-yard field goal at 0:16 closed out a 19-17 Colts win, dropped the Texans to 0-3, and left the final score as the most…
The Indianapolis Colts scored 30 points and lost, and the box score says the defense wasn't the reason.
Around the league
Stories that span the league rather than one club.
Fourteen games on the Week 6 card. Five favorites are laying a touchdown or more: Indianapolis Colts at 7, New England Patriots at 7, Los Angeles Rams at 12.5, Kansas City Chiefs at 8.5, San Francisco…
San Francisco and Minnesota are both 5-0 at the top of the table, with Kansas City 4-0 just behind them.
Measured three ways on 4,509 games: absent starters cost about 0.34 points against the spread, and backing the healthier team returns -0.61% per bet. The injury report is real information that is not news.
Wind really does lower NFL scoring — about 1.70 points per ten miles per hour across 5,024 outdoor games, at t = -4.77. It is also already in the price, and the one bucket that clears break-even does not survive being chosen after the fact.
The public is told favourites are overbet and the value is on the dog. Across 5,139 priced NFL games the opposite is true where it matters: double-digit underdogs return -18.87% per bet and lose money in every era measured.
Three points is the most common NFL margin, at 15.00% of 7,045 games — 2.80 times what a bell curve predicts. What that makes a half-point worth, and why the famous teaser no longer clears.
Fifteen games, and the board has a shape. Two totals sit at 53.5 (Detroit at Arizona, Buffalo at Los Angeles) and one sits at 39.5 (Houston at Tennessee).
Four weeks in and the league has split cleanly: Kansas City, San Francisco and Minnesota are all 4-0, while the Chargers, Dolphins and Texans have yet to win.

NFL Week 4 2026 Predictions: Picks for All 16 Games Sixteen games, and the board is doing most of the talking. The biggest spread of the week is Baltimore laying 11.5 to Tennessee.
Three teams are 3-0 — Minnesota, Kansas City, San Francisco — and three are 0-3, so the extremes of this table are unusually tidy.
Five games on this card carry a 2.5-point spread. The three lowest totals on the board — 40.5, 41.5, 42.5 — belong to games the market cannot separate.
Two weeks in, San Francisco, Minnesota and Kansas City are 2-0 at the top; the Chargers, Commanders and Falcons are 0-2 at the bottom.
Kansas City is 1-0 and sits first of 32 after one week of the season.
