In preparation of the new league year, the NFL decided to dominate the sports news cycle. High profile trades from Russell Wilson to Khalil Mack have teams looking much differently now then they did just a month ago. Here's hoping its a taste of things to come as free agency approaches.

Heading into the back-half of the season, Ethan takes you through what you should be looking for in the Week 10 of the Sunday slate. Can the Broncos follow up with another win after a great win last week? Probably not.
"We're NOT number 1!" Apparently no one in the AFC wants to take the mantle of best team in the conference. Week 9 featured numerous upsets including the team from the Lone Star State and the high-flying offensive unit from Western New York.
And we thought Week 6 was bad... Week 7 featured appearances from the likes of Case Keenum, Brian Hoyer, Chad Henne, Blaine Gabbert, Colt McCoy & five other backups not including Geno Smith. Sheeshhh. The blowouts may have been bad but the upsets made up for it. Tune in and leave a 5-star rating!
