Superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson once looked like he was headed toward a lucrative contract extension after this season. Some thought he might even be the first NFL player to hit $70 million per year. Such a deal once looked like a no-brainer for the Baltimore Ravens. But they can’t possibly justify giving him a contract like that anymore. Because as valuable as Jackson may be as a player, he is […]

The Red Sox and Diamondbacks led all teams with three Gold Glove winners apiece when the awards were announced Sunday. First basemen Christian Walker of Houston and Matt Olson of Atlanta each won the honor for the fourth time while Boston right fielder Wilyer Abreu won the fielding honor for the third year in a row. Red Sox center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela earned the honor for the second straight season […]

Week 8 proved there’s more than one way to make NFL history. The Buccaneers found a way to win that had been done just once before in the Super Bowl era, while Joe Burrow put on a passing clinic that landed him in rare company. Bo Nix added another comeback to his growing collection, and Josh Allen and Ja’Marr Chase reached new milestones. Elsewhere, the Cardinals pulled off a comeback […]

Raymond James Stadium (Tampa Bay) — This was a strange game. In today's NFL, we might take things like the forward pass for granted, presuming them to be at least a small ingredient in the recipe for winning football. Never again. A week ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ran the ball so well (258 yards!) in a lopsided win at Carolina that quarterback Baker Mayfield, in his first game back […]

The Commanders have their first victory in more than a month. Coming out of its bye week, Washington took care of business at home, beating the division rival Philadelphia Eagles 27-10 at Northwest Stadium. It marked the second win of the year for the Commanders (2-4-1) – their first came on Sept. 27, when they stunned the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks at home. The Eagles’ season, meanwhile, continues […]

In Washington, D.C., on the night of Nov. 18, 2018, the lights started to go out for Gonzaga College High School’s football team. The Eagles, who’d trailed 20-0 in the first quarter, fought their way back into the conference championship game against rival DeMatha Catholic. A touchdown gave them a lead with 29 seconds left … but then they allowed an 80-plus yard kickoff-return score with 15 seconds remaining. Gonzaga […]

This was too good a matchup for Week 8, but Chiefs vs. Broncos did not disappoint on Sunday evening, going down to the wire and ultimately one play to decide a winner. Kansas City got another missed field goal from kicker Harrison Butker – that drama will continue to unfold this week – and it was Denver that got the long play and go-ahead touchdown in the final minutes. Here […]

The Indianapolis Colts' fire sale is well underway, but will it continue in the coming days? After the firing of longtime general manager Chris Ballard, plus the trades of guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest, running back Jonathan Taylor might be the next to leave Indianapolis. The Colts are willing to trade Taylor, FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer reported Sunday. Several teams have already been linked to Taylor. […]

Martinsville Speedway (Martinsville, Va.) — William Byron somewhat salvaged his season with a victory Sunday at Martinsville. Kyle Larson somewhat punctuated his now that his third Cup title is firmly in his sights. Byron snapped a 35-race winless streak, dating back to his win at Martinsville a year ago. He led 362 of the 500 laps on his way to the win. Byron entered the race 11th in the standings […]
