The Buffalo Bills running back set an NFL record by becoming the first rusher ever to finish the season with negative yards on the ground with at least 10 carries. Bush headed into the final game with -3 yards on the season, needing just a precious three to finish the season in the black. He got zero rushes in the game. That was that. He finished the year with 12 carries for -3 yards and a long of 5. Bush was expected to make an impact with the Bill..>> view originalKirk Cousins could have eliminated all the questions, but he didn't
Twice Sunday evening, Kirk Cousins had the two things he needed: the ball and a chance, both to win a game and get the Washington Redskins into the playoffs. High stakes, for sure. But this was weightier still. This was a chance to say to both a franchise and its fans, once and for all and finally and forever: “You want me to be your quarterback. You need me to be your quarterback. Turn your attention to the rest of the roster, because I’ve got this locked down.” Sunday’s utterly avoidable 19-..>> view originalKelly, McCoy, Baalke latest to feel the NFL ax (Jan 2, 2017)
Bono and the guys in U2 are big football fans, as in soccer. So when they sang about ”Sunday Bloody Sunday” and ”New Year’s Day,” they had no intention of describing the end of the 2016 NFL season. Yet, the firings of Chip Kelly and Trent Baalke in San Francisco, Mike McCoy in San Diego, and the resignation of Gary Kubiak for health reasons in Denver certainly rang true to those rock classics. Usually, the axings take place the day after the regular season concludes. Except, of course, for ..>> view originalClemson-Alabama is the game we all wanted

Not a whole lot at stake in Week 17, but there was plenty of good (Patriots ruling the AFC, Tony Romo getting out of mothballs, Steve Smith and Robert Mathis having one more afternoon in the sun); and bad (Ravens’ offense, Andrew Luck’s celebration, Miami’s defense, E.J.
