Even beating Carolina in Week 18 wasn’t […]

Perhaps no NFL team encapsulates “all-in” more than the Los Angeles Rams.

The Cleveland Browns, in the midst of a perpetual rebuild, wrote another mediocre chapter into the books in 2025.

The Carolina Panthers took a major stride forward in 2025, winning the NFC South for the first time since 2015, when Cam Newton led a charge all the way to the Super Bowl. 2023 first overall pick Bryce Young entered the 2025 season with plenty of questions as to whether he could be the starting […]

As it so often has in recent seasons, the Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 campaign ended in drama and heartbreak. The Ravens survived a 1-5 start and a four-game absence by two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson to come within a stone’s throw of the postseason, but with a chance to ice the division, rookie kicker Tyler Loop […]

The Phoenix Suns battled for an automatic playoff spot all season as one of the league’s most over-performing teams. In the end, though, they fell short, lost the 7-8 Play-In Tournament game, and now have to deal with playing the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. If it wasn’t already aware, Phoenix was reminded why Oklahoma […]

Of the Western Conference playoff field, five of the eight teams still standing were part of the bracket last season. In theory, there should be less volatility surrounding those teams’ performances, as each should be prepared for the playoff spotlight. Two of the teams who weren’t in the 2024-25 bracket are facing off against each […]

The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves are getting rather familiar with each other. The teams faced off in both the 2023 and 2024 playoffs, with each team winning one series, and they’re currently amid a battle in the first round. Denver leads the series, 1-0, after winning 116-105 in Game 1. The Timberwolves will attempt […]
