The National Football LLeague has been around since 1920, providing decades of historic teams, legendary coaches and some of the best NFL players of all time. While we’ve seen some of the best players in NFL history during our lifetime, there are plenty of all-time greats from the past....
One of the best defenses in the league got better this offseason, landing two top defensive ends. Avril comes from Detroit; Bennett from Tampa Bay. Both players led their teams in sacks last season, combining for 18.5. If they can pressure opposing quarterbacks like that, Seattle's secondary...
Chicago's defense has been one of the league's top units year in and year out. Add in return man Devin Hester — one of the best the sport has ever seen — and you have yourself a top-3 D/
Saquon Barkley and the Eagles have yet to play one of the top 10 rushing defenses in the NFL (in terms of Schatz’s excellent hallmark defense adjusted value over average, DVOA, statistic). Meanwhile, Derrick Henry has played half of the 10 best rushing defenses in the NFL. While I’m ...

Houston to Arizona. But for the Cardinals right now, it seems too good to be true -- just like Hopkins himself. He's just the third player in NFL history to post 600 catches, 8,500 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns in his first seven seasons, joining Marvin Harrison and Torry Holt. ...
Now, Tyreek Hill isn't walking through that door. "Cheetah" has a profound effect on opposing defenses, and he's irreplaceable as a home run hitter. Kansas City's run game is suspect, at best. Those are the concerns. However, K.C. still has Travis Kelce; you know, the be...
