The #Chargers are paying Justin Herbert $55M per year...
It’s okay to say he deserves blame for an 0–6 start instead of making endless excuses.

The Jalen Hurts situation is far too serious for the unanswered questions to just go away.
I don’t believe there was malicious intent, but the details need to be unpacked.
I’m curious to see who ultimately gets the real answers.

#Bills CB Christian Benford has become so used to Josh Allen making ESPN Top 10 plays that he takes it for granted.
“I hate to say it ... I feel like I’m kinda spoiled. All my other teammates are like, ‘What the heck? That’s Josh!’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah.’” 😂

#Vikings LB Blake Cashman battled serious injury issues throughout college, and they followed him into the NFL with the Jets.
“I resented the game a little bit.”
It wasn’t until he got to the #Texans that he finally found answers — and he credits their staff for finding solutions, getting his body right, and allowing him to play football the way he always knew he could.
Now, he’s developed into one of the NFL’s best linebackers.
This is his story:

Which NFL defenses blitz the most?
#Vikings LB Blake Cashman breaks down what makes a Brian Flores defense so unique — and whether there’s ever TOO MUCH blitzing.
“Organized chaos! He understands how to limit an offense’s menu, take packages or plays they really like off the board, and always stress the offensive line, quarterbacks and running backs with his pressure presentation.”

#Vikings LB Blake Cashman grew up in Minnesota, went to high school and college there, and now plays for his hometown team.
What would winning a Super Bowl mean?
“I might run for governor.” 😂😂

What happened between an official and Trey McBride last Sunday was embarrassing—and it only fuels conspiracy theories among fans and bettors.

The NFL’s lack of transparency when it comes to officiating should drive every fan crazy.
Trying to keep everything behind closed doors is terrible.

The #Chiefs won, so it didn’t matter as much. But there was a major officiating error on a Tre Tucker play in the final minutes on Sunday that would’ve been a major talking point had the Raiders won.
“That has to be replayed. That’s a breakdown in mechanics.” ~ @DeanBlandino
