Raiders fans and observers were hoping that Jeanty would jumpstart the Raiders" offense with his rushing talents. So far, though, it"s been a rough go for Jeanty and, well, the Raiders overall. With the Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers tied at 7-7 near halftime at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Jeanty"s production has been less than stellar. In the first half alone, Jeanty had nine carries for just 27 yards. Teammate Brock Bowers helped get Las Vegas on the scoreboard with a touchdown catch from quarterback Geno Smith. It does not appear that Jeanty is injured at all, though.

One of the 20-16 defeat's most consequential plays came on a missed extra point, which many in attendance thought was through the uprights. NFL rules analyst Gene Steratore, however, gave a full explanation of why the controversial on-field call was reasonable.

21+ min ago (357+ words) The Seattle Seahawks, after watching the Los Angeles Rams squander their lead at the top of the division in a loss to the Carolina Panthers, had a chance to take control against the Minnesota Vikings. The NFC North team was down to its third-string quarterback, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity for Seattle to capitalize. A 13-0 lead at the end of the first half seemed to work in that favor. But it was the Mike Macdonald-led defense that had built the lead for the Seahawks. The offense wasn't having a great showing, with Kenneth Walker III noticeably absent in his contributions. For an offense that ranks 31st in passing attempts, the Seahawks' focus has consistently been on establishing the line of scrimmage, incorporating a healthy dose of running plays that feature their two-back approach. Between Zach Charbonnet and Walker, Macdonald…...

27+ min ago (768+ words) The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers have officially fired head coach Tim Beck after two straight seasons around the .500 mark. Who are the top candidates to potentially replace him in Conway, South Carolina? Coach Beck kicked off his coaching career at Coastal Carolina with a promising 8-5 season in 2023, but he cooled off considerably over the course of the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Now the decision has been made to relieve Beck of his duties. The Chanticleers never missed out on bowl season in three years under Beck's watch, but they were also unable to reclaim the kind of success they'd enjoyed the three seasons prior. Coastal Carolina went 6-7 in 2024, and leveled out at 6-6 at the end of the 2025 regular season. With Beck gone, the Chanticleers will now seek out a new leader " but there aren't many proven options for a team of Coastal Carolina's…...

33+ min ago (503+ words) Kevin Stefanski drew sharp criticism for a risky fourth-down playcall that backfired against San Francisco. The Cleveland Browns head coach called a direct snap to tight end Harold Fannin Jr., resulting in a fumble that highlighted his lack of trust in rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Browns analyst Tony Rizzo blasted head coach Stefanski on social media following the game. Rizzo used the phrase "coaching malpractice" to describe Stefanski's handling of crucial situations against the 49ers. Stefanski called a direct snap run to rookie tight end Fannin Jr. on fourth-and-one at the Browns' own 32-yard line with 7:09 left in the third quarter. Instead of letting Sanders handle the play, the two-time Coach of the Year gave the ball directly to Fannin. The rookie tight end dropped the snap and fumbled.

35+ min ago (237+ words) The success that the Seattle Seahawks have had throughout the 2025 NFL season has been a complete team effort. Rather than excelling in one particular area, the roster has been stellar at every level, thanks to an excellent job by head coach Mike Macdonald. However, the most surprising performance on the roster has been from Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Establishing himself as the clear-cut WR1, he is on a historic pace this season, which could see him rewrite the history books. With a chance to add to his total against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13, though, the superstar wide receiver was off to a slow start. A 10-0 lead for the Seahawks felt all too commonplace against Minnesota. Making a living on early leads, Seattle was once again dominant as the Vikings were forced to play the game with third-string quarterback Max Brosmer in the…...

36+ min ago (197+ words) Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson has had a tough season so far, but he was available to help the Vikings score a road win against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Max Brosmer, who's starting this week in place of the injured JJ McCarthy, has failed to connect with Jefferson in the first half. So far in the first half, Jefferson has been targeted twice by Brosmer but has yet to catch a pass to this point. The Vikings have been leaning on their defense to keep Minnesota in the game as the Seahawks held a 10-0 lead just before halftime. While Jefferson doesn't have any catches at the moment, it does not appear that he's injured in any way. .@UnoErra and @jalen_redmond team up for the takeaway!
