With less touchdowns (four) than they have losses this season (five), the Rams were desperate for some kind of weapon on offense.

One of the best matchups of the weekend has to be football’s version of the “Running of the Bulls,” a ground-and-pound contest between Texans RB Arian Foster and Raiders RB Darren McFadden.

It’s Tuesday, and it’s also just 23 days until the best amateur football players in the world start getting plucked one by one. But before we watch all of the draft unfold at Radio City Music Hall, what does the number 23 remind us of?

While it looked like Aaron Rodgers would be the media darling post SB XLV, it’s his long haired linebacker who has blown by the MVP’s Disney World and “Late Show” appearances in sheer volume since Cowboys Stadium.

NFL Network analyst Solomon Wilcots unveiled top 10 mock draft on NFL Total Access Wednesday, tabbing the Lions to take DT Ndamukong Suh with the second overall pick.
