22/11/2024 Raymond 0

The Cleveland Browns shocked the Pittsburgh Steelers with a surprise victory on Thursday Night Football in Week 12, moving to 3-8 on the season. The snow-covered game provided a stunning backdrop, while discussions about the team’s potential move to a dome briefly took over social media. Despite a disappointing season overall, this win offered some solace for both the team and its fans, especially given that it came against a bitter AFC North rival.

The Browns’ performance on the field, marked by second-effort plays and tough catches in challenging conditions, demonstrated that the team hasn’t given up on head coach Kevin Stefanski. This victory, along with earlier wins against the Baltimore Ravens, has positioned Cleveland as a potential spoiler in the playoff race. With several tough opponents remaining on the schedule, including playoff contenders like the Ravens, Steelers, Broncos, and Chiefs, the Browns are now a team with nothing to lose but everything to prove.

Bears’ Coach Eberflus Stands Firm on Controversial Call Before Blocked Field Goal Against Packers

19/11/2024 Raymond 0

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus stood by his decision to let the clock run down before their final field goal attempt in a heart-wrenching 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite the disappointment of their fourth straight defeat, Eberflus insisted that, given the circumstances, he would make the same choice again. The Bears had a chance to end their losing streak, but the Packers blocked Cairo Santos’ 46-yard field goal attempt as time expired.

Eberflus explained that while he would have preferred a closer kick, the risks of running another play—such as penalties or mistakes—outweighed the potential reward. “You feel good about your decision there,” he said. As the Bears continue to struggle, sitting at the bottom of the NFC North, safety Kevin Byard reminded the team that despite the losses, they must remain united and focused on improving. “We don’t come in this building to lose,” Byard emphasized.

Is Brian Daboll the Right Man for the Giants’ Head Coach Role?

As the New York Giants enter their bye week with a 2-8 record, it’s clear their season is all but over. With little to show for it in terms of wins or moral victories, the team is in need of a change. A quarterback switch, potentially replacing Daniel Jones with Drew Lock, seems likely, though it may be a move driven by desperation from head coach Brian Daboll. Despite Daboll’s efforts to put the team in positions to succeed, Jones’ repeated failures to execute have sunk the offense’s chances. After a series of disappointing performances and inexcusable losses, Daboll’s job security is now under greater scrutiny than it was a year ago.

While there are questions about Daboll’s future, his standing with ownership remains strong. Giants’ owner John Mara has emphasized the importance of continuity and rebuilding for the long term, a vision that was briefly derailed by last season’s unexpected playoff run. Yet, as Daboll faces mounting pressure, the true test of his tenure may lie in how he navigates the second half of the season, and whether he can turn things around or find answers through drastic changes.
