The connection between the two teams runs deeper than the standings. In late June, during the quietest part of the

In a thriller that swung wildly over the final 15 minutes, the Atlanta Falcons delivered one of the most dramatic comebacks of the NFL season, erasing a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit and overcoming a franchise-record 19 penalties to steal a 29-28 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. Kirk Cousins, back in the starting

Monsters Funday Football will reimagine the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 14 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers inside the iconic Monsters, Inc. headquarters,

In a game defined by chaos, miscues, and clutch special teams, the Los Angeles Chargers survived a wild Monday Night Football showdown, edging the slumping Philadelphia Eagles 22–19 in overtime at SoFi Stadium. Cameron Dicker drilled a 54-yard go-ahead field goal — his fifth of the night — and safety Tony Jefferson sealed the game

Tua Tagovailoa shed his cold-weather label — at least for a day — and the Miami Dolphins powered to their fourth consecutive victory, a 34–10 dismantling of the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. With temperatures sitting at 41 degrees at kickoff, Tagovailoa put his frigid-conditions struggles “on ice,” delivering an efficient outing

Tyler Shough has stared down the two best teams in the NFC South — and beaten them both in their own buildings. In a season that has delivered more frustration than fulfillment, the New Orleans Saints showed again that they’re far more competitive than their record suggests. Powered by their rookie quarterback’s poise and playmaking,

The Jacksonville Jaguars are still carrying the sting of last month’s historic fourth-quarter collapse in Houston, a meltdown players admit continues to “haunt” them. But if the aftermath of that loss has become fuel, it showed again Sunday. Trevor Lawrence threw two touchdown passes, Travis Etienne Jr. ran for two more, and the Jaguars powered

Philadelphia Eagles (8–4) at Los Angeles Chargers (8–4) | Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET ABC/ESPN | Series: Chargers lead 8–5 | Last meeting: Chargers 27, Eagles 24 (Nov. 7, 2021) The Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles meet Monday night in a matchup loaded with playoff implications, injury intrigue, and two teams moving in opposite directions.

The NFC playoff race tightens on Thursday night as two contenders—each fighting for wild-card position and still clinging to division-title hopes—meet in Detroit. The Lions (7-5) host the surging Cowboys (6-5-1) in a primetime matchup that could define the trajectory of both teams’ seasons. With only a month left in the regular season, the winner

The New England Patriots entered Monday night as the hottest team in football. They left as the first team in the NFL to reach 11 wins — and they did it with the kind of complete, authoritative performance that has defined their two-month surge to the top of the AFC. Behind a poised outing from

The NFL’s best team heads into Monday night not in celebration mode, but in survival mode. The New England Patriots (10–2), owners of the league’s top record and winners of nine straight, travel to face the struggling New York Giants (2–10) with a bye week and a potential 10th consecutive victory within reach. But despite

The Miami Dolphins are rediscovering their identity — and it’s coming on the back of a suddenly opportunistic, resilient defense. Minkah Fitzpatrick produced two massive takeaways, De’Von Achane crossed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career, and Miami made just enough plays in the fourth quarter to hold off the New Orleans

The Jacksonville Jaguars are surging at just the right time.

Christian McCaffrey insisted all week that facing the Carolina Panthers — the franchise that traded him away three years ago — wouldn’t add any extra motivation. But under the Monday night lights, the 49ers star delivered the kind of performance that has become routine since his arrival in San Francisco, carrying his team to a

Dak Prescott wasn’t ready to celebrate breaking one of Tony Romo’s records Sunday — not when the Dallas Cowboys were still clawing their way back from a 21-point hole against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. “Save it for the win,” Prescott said, and when the final whistle blew, the celebration was well-earned. Prescott

Matthew Stafford delivered touchdown passes on the Los Angeles Rams’ first three possessions Sunday night, but even that wasn’t the moment that had the veteran quarterback raising his hand atop his head in celebration. That came when cornerback Cobie Durant, who proudly calls himself the Land Shark, ripped the ball away from Tampa Bay tight

In previous seasons, this is exactly the kind of game the Jacksonville Jaguars would have let slip away — a turnover-plagued, momentum-swinging, late-game crisis that leaves no margin for error. But these Jaguars insist they’re built differently, and on Sunday, they proved it once again. Rookie kicker Cam Little drilled a 52-yard field goal in

The San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers meet on Monday Night Football in Week 12, a matchup that pairs a perennial NFC power back on track with its franchise quarterback against a surprising upstart suddenly pushing for a long-awaited postseason return.
