Having a young cornerback come of age is easily one of the more exciting things to have happen in the NFL for a general manager and coaching staff, and fortunately for Green Bay, that’s exactly what’s happening this year, with former undrafted rookie Tramon Williams. So far this season, Williams has given up just one passing play over [...]

29 October 2010
With an NFL record 293 consecutive games played in and 291 consecutive games started under his belt, dating back to 1992, Brett Favre has shown himself to be the NFL’s version of the “Iron Horse”, but after missing practice once again yesterday, that streak is close to coming to an end.

25 October 2010
Coming off his team’s tough loss last week against the Vikings, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear he wasn’t interested in removing head coach Wade Phillips from his job in the middle of the season. But after Dallas was dominated by their hated rivals from New York in almost every facet of the game, [...]

Week six brought us plenty of offensive firepower, especially in the AFC South, where a combined 95 points were scored and three teams now occupy the top spot in the division.
