The Los Angeles Rams have unveiled a refined brand and uniform refresh, signalling what the franchise describes as the next phase of its identity as it settles into a second decade back in Southern California. Rather than a full redesign, the update is a deliberate tightening of the look introduced in 2020. The most noticeable change comes in the logo …
The NFL’s first regular season game in Australia will not be a standalone event, with commissioner Roger Goodell insisting the league is in Melbourne ‘for the long term’ as it continues its aggressive international expansion. Speaking in Australia ahead of September’s historic clash between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Goodell made it …
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has voluntarily entered a rehabilitation facility amid the fallout from the latest off-field controversy that has threatened to overshadow one of the NFL’s brightest young stars. According to Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, the All-Pro receiver checked into a recovery centre in Malibu in early March, before the recent civil lawsuit and restraining order …
Some NFL teams must wish they could keep their players under a watchful eye at all times, so as to avoid any unpleasant incidents during the long, long offseason. The Los Angeles Rams are one probably one such team. The latest cause for exasperation concerns wide receiver Puka Nacua, who is being sued for assault and battery, with gender violence …
As expected, Matthew Stafford claimed the top individual award at the 15th NFL Honours, but the margin over his nearest rival was perhaps closer than many anticipated. The Los Angeles Rams veteran only narrowly pipped second-year QB Drake Maye, of the New England Patriots, in what many believe was the closest outcome since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair shared the …
The Los Angeles Rams have signed general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay to multi-year contract extensions, securing the leadership duo that has defined the franchise’s modern era. “As we enter their 10th season together, it is only fitting to reflect on the tremendous success Sean and Les have brought to this franchise, and the indelible impact they …
Championship Sunday gave us a brutal snowstorm in Denver, the return of the NFL’s ‘evil empire’ to the big game, the latest installment of a pulsating three-game series between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, as well as a crowning moment in Sam Darnold’s redemption story. Here are the winners and losers from the 2025 Conference Championships… CONFERENCE …
We are down to the final four teams as we hit the Conference Championship round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs. For the first time since 2011, none of these four teams played in the respective title games a season ago — just the 11th time this has occurred since 1970 — guaranteeing a fresh set of opponents in Super Bowl …
Analysing football is a tricky thing. To differentiate yourself from the ‘hot take artists’, you feel you have to crunch the tape and study the numbers. But sometimes, it just feels that overarching narratives are inescapable. The Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears’ recent histories have been littered with back-breaking loss after back-breaking loss. As the youngest franchise in the NFL, …
Seen by many as the best weekend of the NFL season, the Divisional Round of the Playoffs is upon us. We are down to the final eight teams, with just seven games remaining of the 2025 campaign. Wild Card weekend was, for the most part, ‘wild’, and saw the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles crash out, the Buffalo Bills …
The playoffs are here! The commonly held wisdom among the football cognoscenti is that the Divisional Round is the best weekend in football, but the remaining teams vying for a Super Bowl berth will have to go a long way to pip a slate of Wild Card fixtures that delivered four nail-biters. From the moment that underdog Carolina Panthers looked …
The regular season is in the books, and Wild Card Weekend is upon us. Twelve of the remaining 14 teams with aspirations of lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy in February are in action over the weekend, with the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks enjoying their hard-earned byes. Let’s look at the six matchups in question, in order of kick-off time. …
The 2025 NFL regular season concluded Sunday, setting the stage for the playoffs with a full 14-team field ready for Wild Card Weekend.

Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season continued the thread of expecting the unexpected, as results around the league again churned the playoff picture. The penultimate penultimate weekend gave us a modern classic between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, big wins for the surging San Francisco 49ers and under-the-radar Jacksonville Jaguars, as well as another disappointing showing for …
It was another roller-coaster 24 hours in a week of wild rides for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, whose standout performance on Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks was overshadowed by a series of off-field controversies that began earlier in the week and extended into the postgame spotlight. On Tuesday, during an internet livestream appearance with well-known …
Teams have started punching their playoff tickets, with the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos becoming the first to secure a postseason berth in what turned out to be a wild Week 15. Six teams won last weekend after trailing by at least 10 points, tied for the most in a single week in NFL history. The Buffalo Bills were …
The season is getting shorter, the stakes are getting higher, and the on-field deeds are getting even more heroic for some. Last week, Josh Allen passed for 251 yards and three touchdowns with another 78 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in the Bills’ 39-34 victory against the Bengals. He’s the first player in NFL history with at least 250 …
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 …
In a weekend headlined by quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford continues to show out in a rampant Los Angeles offense as the Rams emerge from a tight NFC West scrap, but Jameis Winston reminded us why, even in defeat, he is a must-watch signal caller. Dak Prescott broke Tony Romo’s record as the leading Dallas Cowboys QB and Patrick Mahomes again showed …
Week 11 saw plenty of late action, with games going right to the wire and leads changing hands like a dog walker with an itchy palm. Seven teams pulled off victories despite trailing in the fourth quarter, the most such instances since Week 12 of the 2022 season. Five teams left it until the very last play of the game …
Welcome to Gridiron’s Week 10 power ranking, where ongoing unpredictability in the NFL means ongoing unpredictability in Nicholas McGee’s mind. GRIDIRON POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 10 1. Los Angeles Rams (7-2) +4 The most complete team in football? There’s some questions about the secondary, but it’s tough to pick many other holes ahead of a blockbuster clash with the Seahawks. …
Week 11 looks like providing an intriguing week of NFL action, with two epic clashes between NFC heavyweights in Los Angeles and Philadelphia headlining the slate. The second head coaching casualty of the season fell this past week, with the Brian Daboll era in New York coming to an end after a 20-40-1 run with the Giants. Interim replacement Mike …
I spent the first portion of this weekend’s 13-hour NFL grip on my attention in Berlin’s famous Olympiastadion. That ancient monolith has borne witness to some of sport’s most iconic moments, not least Jesse Owens’ defiant victory in the face of an evil regime, Usain Bolt’s record-shattering run and Zinedine Zidane’s ignominious end to a glittering career. The stakes for …
Welcome to Gridiron’s Week 8 power ranking, where bye-mageddon appears to have provided some rare stability at the top of the tree. GRIDIRON POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 8 1. Indianapolis Colts (7-1) = The Colts predictably had no problem sweeping aside Tennessee, and it’s tough to see them having too many issues in Pittsburgh this week. 2. Detroit …
