Colin Cowherd lists his NFL power rankings entering Week 18, including the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams, and San Francisco 49ers.

On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped a crucial divisional game against the Cleveland Browns on the road, which, combined with a win by the Baltimore Ravens on the previous day against the Green Bay Packers, denied them a chance to win the AFC North over the weekend and secure a home game in the playoffs. Now, the Ravens and Steelers will face off in Week 18, with the winner emerging as the division victors, while the loser will see their offseason begin early.

Ahead of that contest, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin got 100% honest on the state of Pittsburgh’s...

The New England Patriots clinched the AFC East for the first time since 2019 in Week 17, but a look at who they played during the regular season might present a reason to doubt their viability as a true Super Bowl contender.

According to Tankathon, the Patriots’ 2025 opponents earned a .386 win percentage. This was the worst mark of any set of teams by a . By comparison, the Denver Broncos’ opponents had a .426 win percentage.

Despite concerns regarding their ability to beat playoff-caliber teams, the Patriots were certainly glad to clinch the division and further their cause....

The Pittsburgh Steelers squandered a chance to lock up the AFC North when they lost to the Cleveland Browns. They still have a shot to win the division by beating (or tying) the Baltimore Ravens Sunday night, so they didn’t fully lose that. But they did suffer another big loss in the form of TE […]

Last Sunday, the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles eked out a 13-12 win over the Buffalo Bills. A game in which head coach Nick Sirianni was unapologetic in his ways.

One of those ways came in the first quarter of the game against the Bills. After Saquon Barkley scored the first touchdown, Sirianni and Pattulo were absolutely jubilant as if they had just won another Super Bowl, per Shayne L. Marsaw of the TTNL Network.

After a brief return to the NFL, Chip Kelly is going back to college. Northwestern is hiring Kelly as its offensive coordinator, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Kelly previously worked as an offensive coordinator at three other schools – New Hampshire, Oregon and Ohio State – and combined for over a decade of experience. His success as Oregon’s play caller from 2007-08 led to a promotion to head coach in 2009.

Then known as an innovator, Kelly and his fast-paced offense thrived during his four-year stretch as the Ducks’ sideline leader. Under Kelly’s guidance, Oregon posted an incredible 46-7...

New England Patriots HC Mike Vrabel joins Colin Cowherd to discuss the Patriots clinching the AFC East and being in the running for the 1-seed, Drake Maye and his MVP-caliber season, and building a culture in New England.

Mike Tomlin is reportedly set to leave the Pittsburgh Steelers if they lose in Week 18 to the Baltimore Ravens. All season long there have also been rumors regarding John Harbaugh’s status. Colin Cowherd discusses the matchup between the Steelers and the Ravens and asks if both coaches are on the hot seat.

The Indianapolis Colts announced they have signed CB Wyett Ekeler to the practice squad.

In correspondence, the Colts have released OT Zach Thomas from the practice squad.

Ekeler, 23, was a three-star recruit in the 2020 recruiting class out of Windsor, Colorado. He committed to Wyoming and played there for five years.

In his collegiate career, Ekeler appeared in 49 games over five seasons with Wyoming and recorded 197 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, 19 passes defended, four interceptions, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

The ‘Boys (eliminated from playoff contention) are making moves:

Crazy how quickly things change in the National Football League. Diggs was a 2x Pro Bowler with 17 career interceptions just three seasons ago. He signed a five-year extension with $42 million guaranteed and then tore his ACL two months later, appearing in only two games. Then, in 2024 and 2025, he dealt with a groin injury, knee injury, and suffered from concussion issues, playing just 16 games in his three final Dallas seasons.

Somebody is going to take a flier on a 27-year-old, 2nd round corner who once had 11...

The Dallas Cowboys are releasing cornerback Trevon Diggs. ESPN’s Todd Archer reported the news on Tuesday afternoon.

It has seemed for a long time now, even back into the offseason, that 2025 was set to be Trevon’s final year playing for the Cowboys. It is certainly interesting that they chose to release him just a few days before their season finale, but the team clearly felt that this was what was in the best interest of the organization.

Trevon’s greatest season for the Cowboys was easily his 2021 campaign where he led the NFL with 11 interceptions. The Cowboys gave...

Stefon Diggs faces strangulation and assault and battery charges, but the Patriots' star receiver claims the allegations never occurred.
