In "Pick Six," @sandonfl.bsky.social puts the Bears' offensive performance into perspective

The Bears’ late TD produced the team’s best offensive game in 45 years

Yes, the Bengals have allowed 500 yards three times this season, but the Bears gained the most of any of Cincinnati's opponents.

Is the #NFL trade deadline overrated?

That depends...

There were 22 in-season trades this year, most on record. Which ones fit with best practices for success?

Pretty cool video production here with some written takeaways as well

Great way to start this Blue Friday with our weekly @sandonfl.bsky.social visit. Mike and I talked about why this game vs the Texans is bigger than many realize and why he thinks John Schneider is the early Exec of the Year favorite.

It's not enough for the #jets to be bad. Rodgers and Darnold also have to be good, along with the rival #patriots and while we're at it did we mention Todd Bowles is 5-1?

Pick Six column for Week 6 leads with the 0-6 #jets but packs in much much more

www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

Same old Jets? Why the 0-6 start is especially difficult to stomach: Pick Six

Few people expected the Jets to be good, but watching the rival Patriots and Aaron Rodgers' Steelers winning only exacerbates the misery.

The Giants' QB situation is in the spotlight, but the defense shares the blame. Meanwhile, the Texans' offensive struggles are hardly new.
