The NFL is well known for tense finales, fourth-down conversions, last-second field goals and overtime drama but sometimes it just doesn’t work that way. On other occasions, the gulf in class between two teams can be stark, which was certainly the case when the Chicago Bears stunned the then-Washington Redskins 73-0 in the NFL Championship […]

After trips to the last two Super Bowls, many expected the Kansas City Chiefs to continue their domination of the AFC this season en route to another appointment with the NFL’s flagship event.  It has not proved that way, with the Chiefs’ 3-4 record seeing them sit bottom of their division. On Monday, they host […]

Seattle and New Orleans have been two of the biggest players in the NFC for the past 11 years, amassing two Super Bowl titles, three conference championships and 11 divisional crowns between them in that period.

The Bills are 4-1 so far this season, and they sit top of the AFC East, with the New England Patriots, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins all struggling. At present, the Titans sit top of the AFC South, but their record of 3-2 suggests they have not been as prolific as the Bills this […]
