Infographic: Five Teams Rank In Top-10 In Offense, Defense DVOA

Dec 13, 2017 12:29 PM

The NFL has five teams ranking in the top-10 in DVOA on both Offense and Defense after Week 14. In an indication of how much turnover there's been in parts of the NFL, none of those five teams (Rams, Eagles, Vikings, Saints and Chargers) made the playoffs in 2016.

The Chiefs, Cowboys, Steelers, Falcons and Patriots also rank in the top-10 on offense, while the Jaguars, Broncos, Panthers, Ravens and Cardinals rank in the top-10 on defense.

The Seahawks, who have consistently been one of the NFL's top teams in DVOA during the Russell Wilson era, are just outside the top-10 in both categories.

Colts Violated NFL Policy By Sending Non-Players To Clear Snow

Dec 12, 2017 9:25 AM

The Indianapolis Colts violated an NFL policy when they sent sideline personnel onto the field to remove snow from the area where a kick would be lined up in order to help Adam Vinatieri get better footing on Sunday.

Officials working the game in Buffalo quickly sent the Colts' personnel off the field.

"Under no circumstances will a Referee permit clearing by the grounds crew, or other team personnel, of a spot for a PAT or field goal attempt. Only players are permitted to clear such spots by hand or foot," the NFL Game Operations Manual states.

LeSean McCoy: Trade By Eagles 'Was Wrong, Weird'

Dec 11, 2017 8:53 AM

With LeSean McCoy on the verge of becoming the 30th player in NFL history to gain 10,000 yards rushing for his career, he was asked if he's happy to be in Buffalo and if there are still any hard feelings lingering over his trade by the Eagles.

Chip Kelly traded McCoy, a native of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to the Bills in 2015.

“I am extremely happy I am here,” said McCoy. “Buffalo has embraced me and my family, and they love me here. I love that. But I can’t lie and say I don't love Philly. I do. That was my home. The trade was wrong, and it was weird.”
