ESPN's Jeremy Fowler thinks that both Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren and wide receiver George Pickens could both benefit from the team's firing of offensive coordinator Matt Canada this week.

Ron Rivera On The Hot Seat?

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera didn't help his shaky job status with the team's six-turnover loss to the New York Giants in Week 11.

Justin Fields' Future Tenuous In Chicago?

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will effectively be auditioning to keep the starting job the rest of the season.

[…]
