The Tim Tebow saga is about to start a new chapter. The Denver Broncos traded the polarizing quarterback to the New York Jets Wednesday on a day filled with NFL headlines. The deal sends Tebow and a seventh-round pick to New York for a fourth and a sixth-round pick, according to the Denver Post.
The regular season has come and gone, the playoff field is finally set, but none of it matters compared to where these teams stack up to finish the season. So I lay it on myself to lay it on you, my faithful SoB readers: I bring you THE FINAL NFL POWER RANKINGS OF THE 2011 [...]
There’s just two weeks left in the season, but five playoff spots remain un-clinched. The NFC Wildcard race is pretty much locked up, but the AFC race is as heated as ever. New England and Kansas City took advantage of their competition losing to improve their standing. Ditto for Dallas, who reclaimed the division lead [...]
Just three games left and the playoffs can get underway. The Texans and Broncos continue to roll. San Francisco is slipping away from a bye. And the Cowboys suddenly aren’t looking their best. Indy’s magic number to clinch Andrew Luck is down to two, so that should be interesting to see what happens with Peyton [...]
Week 13 in the NFL saw a plethora of teams outside the top-five take a tumble. The Cowboys, Falcons, Bengals, Raiders, and Lions all lost, and the teams lined up behind them reaped the benefits. In other words, a lot of teams took massive jumps in my power rankings essentially by default. I’m talking to [...]
Week 11 has come and gone, meaning the last four teams had their bye week and everyone in the NFL has played the same number of games (10). With six weeks left, who is poised to make a run to the playoffs, and who will trip over themselves in their effort to get there? One [...]
Well, it’s been an interesting week — to say the very least — for the AFC East. The festivities kicked off Thursday when Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos bested the New York Jets, 17-13. The loss came off the heels of a 37-16 loss to the Patriots, where New England regained the first place [...]
Mark Sanchez stood on the sidelines, minutes after an uninspired three-and-out gave the Denver Broncos the ball on their own 5-yard line. It looked, at the time, that the Jets defense would once again bail out an errant game from Sanchez. Once again, it looked like the Jets defense would mask Sanchez’s mediocrity. See in [...]
After weeks of offensive malaise and defensive incompetency, the New England Patriots returned to form Sunday, beating the New York Jets, 37-16. Tom Brady and his receivers picked the defense apart while a team of replacements and nobodies held the Jets’ offense completely in check. The Patriots regained sole possession of the AFC East with [...]
Bill Belichick is known for a number of things, namely: winning and the hoodie. He is not known for controversial comments, especially ones insulting an opposing team. Which is why it was so surprising to hear that following the Patriots 37-16 victory over the Jets, Belichick said: “Thirty-seven points on the best defense in the [...]
The New England Patriots (6-3) used a complete team effort to top the New York Jets (5-4) on Sunday night, receiving contributions on offense, defense and special teams en route to a 37-16 win at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Brady, Offense Soar Following a two-game skid that saw the Patriots’ signal-caller occasionally out of [...]
Last week we had Abigail Miskowiec, of Sports of New York, talk with us about the Patriots-Giants game. Now, we’re doing it again. Here’s the heavyweight matchup: In one corner, we have Sports of Boston’s Nick Bohen — the other features Sports of New York’s Gianpaolo Nocerino. We know who win the initial Battle of [...]
After dropping their last two games, the Patriots travel to MetLife Stadium this Sunday to finish up their regular season series with the AFC East rival Jets. The Patriots won the first matchup in Week 5, 30-21 at home. Here are some keys for Sunday’s contest.
Patriots and Jets is synonymous with the word rivalry. The personnel switching from entity to entity over the years (and in some cases switching back…again) make this feud that much more compelling. Consequently, fans take great pride in victory and agony in defeat. Sports Nation hosts Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle are taking this concept to [...]
The rivalry between the New York Jets and New England Patriots has gained intensity in recent years. Perhaps it was the dramatic departure of Eric Mangini that triggered the feud, or the spiced up media frenzy upon Rex Ryan’s arrival in New York. The players on the field have brought their own drama to the [...]
