Here’s how the Baltimore Sun sports team views the outcome of Monday’s Week 12 game between the Ravens (7-4) and Chargers (7-3) at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles:Brian Wacker, journalistRavens 30, Chargers 20: As bad as Lamar Jackson was last week in an ugly 18-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, he’s unlikely to struggle the same way against the Chargers. Jackson is 19-5 as a starter in prime-time games, which includes an 11-1 mark in his last 12 games, and Los Angeles’ defense has benefited from a fairly simple. I also suspect Derrick Henry will get more than the 13…
The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a crushing 24-19 road loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football in Week 12 as Mike Tomlin’s team was unable to make timely plays and now 8-3 this year. Pittsburgh will look to get back on track next Sunday, as the team travels to Paycor Stadium to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13.Although the Steelers’ loss to the dysfunctional Browns was uninspiring, Pittsburgh has had a successful 2024 season thus far, mainly due to improved quarterback play.Russell Wilson has provided consistent play since taking over as the starter in Week 7, and…
To think the Indianapolis Colts might be able to draft someone who appeared to be a franchise-caliber defender over a perennial Super Bowl contender seems ridiculous, but Bleacher Report believes so be a reasonable couple during the 2025 offseason. San Francisco 49ers All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga will be a free agent after the end of the 2024 campaign, and he has spent all but two games this season on injured reserve with ligament damage in his wrist.The 49ers may not be willing to commit to Hufanga long-term, however, any team that has the chance to sign the USC alum should…

(Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports)Almost exactly 16 years ago — starting in late November of 2008 — Brett Favre’s one-year shotgun marriage to the New York Jets went into the tank. At the time, the Jets were 8-3, squarely in the AFC playoff picture, and coming off a 34-13 win over the Tennessee Titans. But there was also a problem.Favre’s throwing shoulder was in pain.Though the franchise wouldn’t know it definitively until an MRI in late December, Favre had taken a hit against the Titans and tore the biceps tendon in his throwing shoulder. It was an injury that would take a…
During a Week 9 blowout loss at Baltimore, Broncos defensive end Zach Allen noticed he was being double-teamed more frequently. Such is life when you’re as productive as Allen has been through the first three months of the NFL season. One differentiator between Allen’s first season in Denver and this one: He has a teammate on the defensive line capable of making offenses pay when they devote extra resources to him. So it’s no coincidence that John Franklin-Myers had two sacks in Denver’s last three games and made more spectacular plays as Allen commanded more attention.
When Jim Harbaugh met his brother John for the postgame handshake after Super Bowl XLVII, he figured he’d have a chance to avenge that setback someday. Nearly 12 years later, both Harbaughs will be back on the same field as NFL head coaches when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. Both teams are in playoff contention, with Baltimore holding a 7-4 record and the Chargers holding a 7-3 record. John Harbaugh won both NFL games against his brother, including the Ravens’ 34-31 victory over Jim’s San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl following the 2012…
While the NFL determines whether Tom the GOAT should talk to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are dealing with the loss to the Bills. Here are three reasons why the Chiefs are in trouble after losing their first game of the 2024 season to the Bills.One good thing for the Chiefs is that they get a break in Week 12 when they travel to face the Panthers. This should be a walk in the park against the lowly 3-7 team. If not, more question marks will appear for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions.The biggest problem…
.THE Washington Commanders returned to practice Thursday in preparation for the Dallas Cowboys. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore continues to miss practice, but there have been some positive developments regarding Lattimore.According to ESPN’s John KeimLattimore “did a lot of work on the sideline. CB moves, tracking the ball, cutting to defend a pass. It was about 3/4 speed when we were watching.”This is a positive development, given that this is the most important work Lattimore has done since his arrival three weeks ago. Whether or not he plays Sunday against Dallas, he seems to be heading in the right direction.Now for the…
Over the years, Troy Aikman has seen the Cowboys fight through their share of struggles. The Pro Football Hall of Famer admitted Thursday morning that this year’s problems in Dallas were different than those he has experienced in the past.Aikman’s feeling hasn’t started during the 2024 season either.“It was different at the beginning of the season, from how the offseason went. There didn’t seem to be as much optimism, I guess, at the beginning of this year,” Aikman said.
