The Carolina Panthers vanquished their division rival New Orleans Saints in Charlotte to improve to 4-6 on the year. Had they not inexplicably dropped their Week 10 game to the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, they would be riding high on a four-game win streak. While it might be a stretch for them to catch the Atlanta Falcons with a hefty lead for the NFC South, there's some thought that a run could be brewing on way to securing a wild-card spot. After all, we've seen these Panthers do that ju..>> view originalLouisville players point to lack of focus as reason for lopsided loss
HOUSTON -- When the third set of College Football Playoff rankings were unveiled Tuesday night, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, receiver Jaylen Smith and a handful of other Cardinals tweeted their reactions to it.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Football is a game filled with clichés that are impossible to avoid. You “gotta go for it” on some fourth downs. Receivers “catch the ball at its highest point.” When a player goes down, “it’s next man up.” The next-man-up idea is a cold reality in football. Injuries are inevitable in this brutal sport and replacement players are necessary. If they subscribe to the next-man-up mentality, then the unit should not miss a beat, the team should win..>> view originalWhere will Cowboys QB Tony Romo end up in 2017?
