It was the first game of the NFL preseason for both teams, and they were more or less happy to emerge unscathed from the deluge though Houston did suffer a potentially significant injury to their backup QB. Texans coach Gary Kubiak summed up the teams attitude toward playing ...

Romo did receive some criticism for hooking up with his longtime favorite target Witten rather than involve the rest of ...

04.09.10Saints Humiliate Raiders In NFL Preseason RoutWhile its unwise to put too much importance on NFL preseason performances, its hard not to be impressed with the New Orleans Saints offense. In particular, its impossible to not be impressed with the play of starting QB Drew Brees.

All Brees did in only three series was roll up 179 yards on 14 of 17 passing and three touchdowns. After the game, he was pleased with the ...

While players may not always be happy with a trade to a new team, more often than not they willingly accept their new assignment and try to make the best of it.

The trade surprised NFL observers, with the Patriots sending Seymour to Oakland for a 2011 first round draft pick. He had been ...
