Smith clarified that while he recognizes the frustration coming from all angles, all he can control is himself and his team's outcome. Smith said eight consecutive losses, which included a 20-17 defeat at the expense of the Iowa Hawkeyes this past Saturday, is not what he had envisioned entering his second season in East Lansing. The last thing Smith said he'll do, though, is fold under scrutiny. "What, you just quit? You run? You start blaming others? It's like, no. Keeping the main thing this week, we've been going at it, deeply believing in these guys. And we want it for them to come out on the right side of the scoreboard, and that's the approach this week....

1+ hour, 30+ min ago (375+ words) San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings wasn't approaching Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig for a handshake and a hug after his team's 20-9 win on Monday Night Football. Jennings came up to Moehrig and struck him in the face mask with his right hand, then got in a left hand before the two were separated. It's unusual to see a fight after a game when the teams come together, but earlier this season, Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch approached Kansas City Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after a Sunday night game and hit him in the face mask, similar to Jennings' strike to Moehrig. Branch was suspended for a game. ESPN showed a replay that gave Jennings a reason for being upset with Moehrig. Late in the game, after Christian McCaffrey had been tackled on a run play, Moehrig punched Jennings below the…...

1+ hour, 34+ min ago (323+ words) Things got ugly at the end of the Monday night contest between the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers. Following the conclusion of the contest, 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings walked up to Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig and hit him with an open-handed punch. It was later revealed that Moehrig had hit Jennings below the belt before the final whistle, which is what led to the 49ers wideout doing what he did. After the game, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged that Jennings was the victim of a cheap shot and said he was "proud" of the way Jennings didn't retaliate before the final whistle. "The guy took a cheap shot and hit him in the balls. I was real proud of Jauan for not losing his mind out there," Shanahan said. When asked about his cheap shot, Moehrig seemed to hint that Jennings had…...

1+ hour, 41+ min ago (339+ words) Not much has gone right for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. The team had high hopes after bringing in Pete Carroll to be the head coach and Geno Smith to be the quarterback, but it's been a disaster so far. The team is sitting at 2-9 after hitting rock bottom by losing to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12. Smith was supposed to stabilize the quarterback position for a few seasons. The team showed their belief in the veteran by giving him a two-year, $75 million extension before he played a game with the team. During his first season in Vegas, Smith has thrown for 2,367 yards with 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. That lackluster production contributed to offensive coordinator Chip Kelly getting fired on Sunday, and could have the team exploring all options in the offseason. Jaime Eisner of The Draft Network recently published a…...

2+ hour, 3+ min ago (312+ words) The anticipation surrounding Sunday's matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers was palpable, and all eyes were fixed on one man: Christian McCaffrey. Playing against the team that drafted him, the superstar running back had a huge game on "Monday Night Football." McCaffrey's history with Carolina -- where he became one of the league's most versatile offensive weapons -- added a deep emotional current to a crucial NFC contest. In his first game against his former team, McCaffrey did not disappoint. From the opening drive, his impact was immediate, tallying a career-high nine touchdes. He shredded his former defense with a relentless combination of power runs between the tackles and shifty, precise routes out of the backfield. By the end, San Francisco pulled away with a 20-9 victory. Here's more on McCaffrey's big game against Carolina. MORE:McCaffrey stuffs scoreboard against…...

The Texas Longhorns have made their second flip from the Austin Metro, convincing tackle Kaden Scherer to change his commitment from the Stanford Cardinal, joining the 2026 class. The 6-foot-6, 285-pound tackle from Georgetown committed to Stanford in June, choosing the Cardinal over Kansas State and Northwestern after visiting the trio. But after a late Texas offer and visit for the Arkansas game, the lengthy lineman made the switch to the hometown team. No. 91 guard in the country, Scherer bolsters a class that needs some bodies and may give him the longer development path that he needs. He is the second flip from Georgetown in a 24-hour period, with fellow Eagle Jett Walker taking…...

3+ hour, 43+ min ago (206+ words) The Ole Miss Rebels find themselves in a precarious but promising playoff projection, sitting at No. 6 in the On3 bracket from Andy Staples. Trailing only top-tier teams, Ole Miss's path includes the Egg Bowl rivalry with Mississippi State and the distractions surrounding head coach Lane Kiffin's future. If the Rebels maintain focus, win their rivalry game, and keep noise at bay, they'll likely punch a ticket as the SEC "runner-up" who isn't projected in the championship game. The key will be consistency from Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy on offense. Not a tough ask for the two playmakers. In the high stakes world of the College Football Playoff, one misstep can be costly. Ole Miss must play with urgency and maturity in the stretch run. Also, Kiffin's decision didn't bring them this far. The end of the season shouldn't fall by…...
