Nashville could be next in line to join the list of potential Super Bowl venues, according to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. The suggestion was made following a ceremonial ‘topping out’ at the new Nissan Stadium being built a stone’s throw away from Tennessee Titans’ existing home.

In terms of sheer …
Brian Callahan has become the first head coaching casualty of the 2025 NFL season, after the Tennessee Titans decided to move from the man who had been in office for little over 18 months.

Cam Ward, first overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, is used to hearing the chatter, but has become equally adept at tuning it out as he seeks to continue turning his career into something few believed it could become.

Week 10 was one of the worst weeks of the 2024 season in terms of offensive output. Teams averaged 1.86 points per drive and threw interceptions at a 2.9% rate, both “good” for the second-worst weeks of the season.
