11+ min ago (247+ words) As uncertainty looms over Atlanta, there are storylines to follow in the final five games of a lost year. The same applies to Neuzil, who is more at risk of losing his role due to his undrafted status and not exactly being a tone setter. Not being able to make blocks at the second level has hindered Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier on several occasions. While Neuzil has been relatively decent, there are notable limitations in his game that put a floor on the running game's ceiling. At their best, Bergeron and Neuzil can make a massive difference as run blockers. That was evident in the upset win over Buffalo. Improving as communicators in pass protection and positionally as run blockers will be major factors in their development from being promising, mistake-prone players to dependable, technically sound blockers. Setting aside…...

I've got one of the best jobs in all of professional sports. Why would I have any interest in coaching college football? That will be the last time that I address it, not only today but moving forward. Never say never, but never."

25+ min ago (1286+ words) The Chicago Bears celebrated their Black Friday win over the Philadelphia Eagles as if they'd won the Super Bowl. Players celebrated wildly and coach Ben Johnson danced shirtless in the postgame locker room, his team having ascended to the top-seeded position in the NFC.

In the non-conference, championship-mettle test on Sept. 26, the Mustangs and Eagles were locked in a tight battle at the start of the second half when the Ralston Valley QB ripped off a gutsy highlight play. The Mustangs were on Valor Christian's six-yard line, and Andrews dropped back to pass. He recognized a linebacker blitz off the edge, and juked him. Then Andrews zoomed past a defensive lineman in the pocket, hit the hole, trucked a different Eagles linebacker near the goal line and barreled into the end zone. Andrews did a little flex while celebrating the TD with his teammates, and the game was never close after that. It's moments like that one that enabled…...
