Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (13) makes a touchdown catch defended by Carolina Panthers safety Xavier Woods (25) during the second quarter at Bank of America Stadium. The Green Bay Packers‘ offense was woefully short-handed going into their Week 16 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. One would never have thought that were the case as the offense put up 33 points while quarterback Jordan Love put up his seventh game of the season with multiple touchdown passes with no interceptions. The defense, on the other hand, did not look nearly as good. While the defense has struggled and calls to fire Joe Barry…
The Jets have shut down quarterback Zach Wilson for Thursday’s game against the Browns in Cleveland, saying he hasn’t cleared concussion protocol, and it’s fair to wonder whether the team’s No. 2 overall draft pick three years ago has played his final game in Jets green. Wilson was knocked out of the Jets’ blowout road loss to the Dolphins two games ago with a concussion and missed Sunday’s win in Washington. Breaking down the newest frontrunner for NFL MVP, Super Bowl odds, and the playoff picture When Jets head coach Robert Saleh was asked Tuesday if Wilson has a chance…
By Jose Luis Sanchez III Sports Illustrated San Francisco 49ers News, Analysis and More Going into Week 16, the San Francisco 49ers potentially would have clinched the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed. Unfortunately, the 49ers weren’t allowed that opportunity by the time they faced the Baltimore Ravens. Even if they were, they still ended up losing, so clinching in Week 16 wasn’t meant to be for them.

Jaguars Sign QB Matt Barkley Off Giants’ Practice Squad Dealing with yet another injury this season, Trevor Lawrence is not a lock to play in a pivotal Week 17 spot. Although the former No. 1 overall pick has continued to play through his myriad health issues this year, the Jags now have some additional insurance at quarterback. They signed Matt Barkley off the Giants’ practice squad Tuesday. Because Barkley is being plucked from another team’s P-squad, he must remain on the Jags’ active roster for at least three weeks. The Jags’ prospects of extending their season into the playoffs have suddenly become foggy,…
The Las Vegas Raiders have signed former Kentucky nose tackle Marquan McCall to its practice squad, it was reported recently by Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. McCall was claimed by the New England Patriots in August but released a day later after failing a physical. He has not played in an NFL game this season after recording 15 total tackles and two tackles for loss for the Carolina Panthers after making the team as an undrafted free agent last season. Listed at 379 pounds, McCall may be able to help bolster a Raiders run defense that ranks 23rd in the NFL. McCall…
