Christmas Day football and Netflix is fast becoming a new NFL tradition, and this year is no different, with a festive double-header on the streaming platform. NFL Christmas Gameday returns to Netflix in 2025 with Dallas Cowboys playing the Washington Commanders at 1pm ET, followed by the Detroit Lions visiting the Minnesota Vikings — complete with a holiday party featuring …
Thanksgiving is about family, food and football. Not necessarily in that order, either. Especially if the viewing figures for the Turkey Day slate of games is anything to go by. The average viewership across all three games — Green Bay Packers versus Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs versus Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals versus Baltimore Ravens — was 44.7 million, …
The NFL never ceases to surprise, but there are always times when the dust appears to settle and a degree of clarity emerges, causing onlookers to believe they know what happens next. Then the chaos resumes. Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season was no exception. Amidst all the Thanksgiving celebrations, the Carolina Panthers shocked the Los Angeles Rams; Ben …
Week 13 is Thanksgiving Week in the NFL, with not only the usual three games on Thursday to enjoy with the turkey, but also the ‘new traditional’ Black Friday game as well. Heading into this feast of football, Week 12 certainly provided some notable highlights. The New England Patriots recorded their ninth-consecutive win and became the first team this season …
Thanksgiving has become synonymous with food, family and football over the years. The NFL have added to this mix with the addition of musical acts to enhance the half-time, and pre-game, experience at their three Thursday games on the holiday slate and 2025 is no exception. The Green Bay Packers -Detroit Lions tilt, the ‘Jerra World’ clash between the Dallas …
A Season Served With All the Trimmings For American fans, the holidays aren’t measured in days off, they’re measured in downs. Sure, Thanksgiving carves the turkey, but it also carves out a day-long buffet of football, family and fierce rivalries. Then, before the leftovers are gone, December rolls in with its own frosty spectacle; snow swirling over end zones, playoff …
Marshawn Kneeland, second-year defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys, passed away on Thursday at the age of just 24, just three days after celebrating his first NFL touchdown. The team confirmed the tragedy, which immediately attracted an outpouring of grief from friends and team-mates alike. “Marshawn was a beloved team-mate and member of our organisation,” the Cowboys statement read. “Our …
We are approaching the halfway mark of the 2025 NFL season, and are still unable to say for definite who the elite teams truly are, outside of a couple of obvious contenders. Most teams look capable of beating, and equally losing to, any other team in the league. But there were signs last week that some offenses were finally picking …
What’s the greatest comeback in the history of the National Football League? Well, the Eagles fan in me would point towards both iterations of the ‘Miracle of the Meadowlands’, but it’s hard to argue against a Super Bowl victory so famous that any fan of the gridiron knows what I’m talking about when I say ‘28-3’. In terms of sheer …
Week 4 of the 2025 season saw the NFL’s first regular season game in Ireland. This is the best time of the year for fans on this side of the Atlantic, as we look ahead to the three London games, the league’s entry into Spain and a match-up in Berlin. It’s also when narratives become believable. The 2025 season has …
In Italian soccer, there is a commonly held belief that ‘August is a liar’. As undercooked players and newly formed teams build towards mid-season, spectacular results or terrible performances cannot be seen as a blueprint for future performance. A similar train of thought has taken root in the NFL. September is often seen as an extension of preseason football. With …
The 2025 NFL season got off to a spirited start in the City of Brotherly Love as the Dallas Cowboys pushed reigning champions Philadelphia hard before the Eagles emerged with the win, but all most people will remember is the start of the game. The brawl — as that is what is was on several occasions during the night the …
And we are back! The 106th season of the NFL is finally here, with the road to Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara beginning in Philadelphia on Thursday night. The opening slate of games features eight divisional match-ups, starting with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys, marking the fifth season since 2002 with as many …
Kenny Clark didn’t expect to be a Dallas Cowboy this season, not least because he — like most of the world’s population — didn’t see Micah Parsons being a Green Bay Packer. The Pro Bowl nose tackle admitted to being shocked by the ‘phone call that informed him that he, and two first-round draft picks, were the price of landing …
Speaking in the immediate wake of sending elite pass rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay, Dallas Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones appeared conflicted, admitting how much he liked the player but admitting that his team is probably better off now that he’s gone. Jones has made no secret of how much he liked and admired Parsons as a person and player, …
It might not be quite the haul the Dallas Cowboys extracted from Minnesota for Herschel Walker, but the Texas team will hope that trading away their biggest name will set them on the road to Super Bowl success all the same. That can be the only reason for the Cowboys to sensibly send Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, …
The sight of Micah Parsons laying on a treatment table behind the Dallas Cowboys’ bench during their final preseason game may have created negative memes for the elite pass rusher, but provided an apt illustration of the frustration he — and everyone else — clearly feels over his protracted contract saga. The Cowboys fanbase remains divided over the standoff, with …
It may be his years of negotiation in the oil business or it might be the innate self-confidence with which he carries himself as owner/CEO/GM of the Dallas Cowboys, but Jerry Jones appears unruffled by Micah Parsons shock trade request. It’s not that Jones appeared laissez-faire about the biggest talking point to hit the NFL these past few weeks that …
In stark contrast to his comments of just a week ago, Micah Parsons has requested a trade away from the Dallas Cowboys following a breakdown in contract talks. The elite pass rusher arrived at training camp last week insisting that he wanted to remain in Dallas and intoning that he was looking forward to getting a chance to recommence talks …
Dallas Cowboys talisman Micah Parsons has reiterated that he has no desire to the leave the only NFL team he has known — but admits that the situation might be out of his hands. The pass rusher is, along with Cincinnati’s Trey Hendrickson, the next amongst his peers in line for a contract extension, but the Cowboys front office appears …
HBO and NFL Films have confirmed that there will again be two editions of their groundbreaking Hard Knocks series during the 2025 NFL season, with both the now-familiar training camp and in-season versions airing.

The NFL has announced its full 18-week, 272-game, regular season schedule for the coming season via the now-familiar television marathon, despite several ‘highlight’ games and the six-sevenths of the International Series having already been revealed. The new season kicks off on Thursday 4th September in Philadelphia and concludes with a full slate of 16 divisional games in Week 18, with …
The mention of the Dallas Cowboys playing in primetime often results in eye-rolling amongst fans of the other 31 NFL team, but the spotlight isn’t getting any kinder for Big D as their tough opening night fixture against divisional rival Philadelphia has been joined by an equally difficult showdown on Thanksgiving Day as the Kansas City Chiefs come to town. …
The NFL has served up a doozy of a first game for the 2025 season, with NFC East rivals Dallas and Philadelphia squaring off in the City of Brotherly Love. As Super Bowl winners last season, the Eagles were already known to be the hosts of the Opening Night encounter but, as the first domino to fall in this week’s …
