NFL Power Rankings
10. Steelers There are a lot of similar 2-1 teams, which made the tenth spot particularly difficult to choose. However, when I measured the Steelers against all the teams that didn't make this list, the Steeler's defense stood out. The Steelers defense is one of the best in the league. It's so good that it would be enough to rip through most teams. In addition to that, the Steelers showed progress on offense. If the Steeler's elite defense can be combined with an above-average offense, then everyone else better watch out.

CFL Week 16 Recap: Kings of the Jungle
Detroit's Lions aren't the only ones making an impact. Week 16 featured a pair of clinching scenarios, with one of them involving the British Columbia Lions. They had the simplest of scenarios: win and in. Even better for BC, they were facing the Edmonton Elks on the road, which seems quite easy. After all, the Elks had severe problems winning at home, even though they did end their long home victory drought this season. The Elks didn't make it easy on their West Division foes, it was pretty close throughout, but in the end, the Leos emerged victorious. 37-29 was the final score.

0-3: The Kiss of Death
One of the many things I love about the NFL season is that it's a sprint. Also, because it's a sprint, this brings me to another of the things I love about football: every game matters. Football is the only sport where what a team does in the first game could either help or hurt big time by the final game. It is always important to get off to a good start, but even if a team drops the first game, it is not the end of the world. But they have to make up for it fast, because not doing so could be costly. 0-1 is not a big deal. 0-2 is surmountable, but it could take some doing.

CFL Week 15 Recap: A Puncher's Chance
You know the old saying: time flies when you're enjoying a version of football that has all sorts of amazing perks. The home stretch of the season, the final seven weeks, the last one-third, has arrived, and for one team, everything could be settled and determined in just one fell swoop. The Toronto Argonauts locked in a playoff spot a week prior, and regarding Week 15, they were one win away from locking up first place in the East Division. All they had to do was defeat the Montréal Alouettes yet again, but it looked a bit iffy for the Boatmen.

NFL Power Rankings
10. Lions The Lions are down five spots from last week, but they are still the best one and one team. Of the one and one teams, the Lions have the most impressive win and loss. They beat the Chiefs and were cheated in the Seahawks game. They went blow for blow with the Seahawks, and then, in the moment of truth, Hutchinson was held right in front of the ref, preventing him from sacking Geno and allowing the Seahawks to win the game. So, there is no reason to cool off of the Lions.

NFL Week 2 Recap: Plan B
What now? Those two words had to have been repeated on a loop by fans of the New York Jets after Monday's season opener. The Jets, their fans, and every football fan (myself included and especially)--all of us were eagerly wondering how the Jets would fare with Aaron Rodgers as their QB. After months of anticipation, Rodgers made his Jets debut on the Monday Night Football opener, had four plays...and then the injury happened. That was a shocking blow to the Jets and their fans, as Rodgers ended up in the tent and later carted off. Out for the rest of the game. The Jets had to persevere with Zach Wilson at QB, and for that night, they did--winning in comeback fashion in overtime over the Buffalo Bills.

But the respite didn’t keep the quarterback and her team from turning up the heat on Cosmic Charlie’s Angels of Katonah.

NFL Power Rankings 2023
10. Saints AP Photo/Tyler Kaufman This was a highly contested spot on the Power Rankings. The Saints got this spot because they showed a lot of room to grow and got the win. They had a new QB in his first game with a new team. It was a defensive battle early, much like a lot of the games of week one, but eventually, the Saints got rolling.

Fantasy Football is BACK!. Top Story - September 2023.
Despite being English, I have found myself becoming more and more enamoured with the sport that the Americans call “football”. Watching American Football in the UK used to be a most difficult proposition, aside from the Superbowl the only way to watch any action was a highlights show at 1am on a Wednesday morning. During the nineties and early 2000’s I was school aged, but after that coverage started to improve. In recent years Sky Sports have added the Thursday and Monday night games, as well as three Sunday matches. Even then, the absolutely baffling decision to host games only on nights when most people have work confuse me no end. But as my interest has grown, I’ve put additional effort into trying to keep up with the games when I can. My wife has since joined me in this interest, but unlike me she is a reasonable person, who goes to bed at a sensible time rather than staying up into the night watching foreign sports and typing up nonsense for strangers to read (4th wall break! Hi, thanks for reading).
