NFL Monday Morning Madness: Lamar, Ravens best Wilson as Patriots await

With how this season was going, Sunday's game in Seattle had all the makings of another stepping stone for Russell Wilson, the NFL's new (possibly) best player. So much for that. On this day, a younger, flashier breed at quarterback stole the show.

Tom Brady -- Super Bowl LIII

Seventh Heaven? Brady, Belichick make attempt at record seventh title

This week marks the beginning of yet another season for Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the once-again defending Super Bowl champions. Few could have predicted their still-dominant place in the league at this time just five years ago, after the team was steamrolled on a Monday night in Kansas City.

On Saturday Ty Law became the first -- second if you count Randy Moss -- member of the New England Patriots' two decade-long, 21st-century dynasty to be named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

NFL Monday Morning Madness: Why the 49ers will win the NFC West in 2019

The end of July brings forth the smell of fresh grass (or turf), practice jerseys, helmets, and a renewed sense of hope for 31 NFL franchises and their fans, and a persisting rash of confidence for the New England Patriots. The foundation for the eventual Super Bowl LIV champion is being built in these hot … Continue reading NFL Monday Morning Madness: Why the 49ers will win the NFC West in 2019
