In today’s Three and Out: Matt Forte has a new role, Giovani Bernard is settling into a role while the Jaguars QBs are fighting for a role.

In today’s Three and Out: Reggie Bush will be a dual-threat, Brandon Marshall’s fully healthy and Emmanuel Sanders could be on the move.

Marc Trestman’s hire by the Chicago Bears could mean plenty of attempts and yardage for Jay Cutler…but it could also mean plenty of interceptions.

Week 17 has finally arrived. The Detroit Lions will not be returning to the playoffs, and since Calvin Johnson has already claimed the record for receiving yards in a single, the Lions looked to play spoiler to the playoff hopes of their division rival Chicago Bears.

It was “Statement Sunday,” which meant a slate full of fantastic games between playoff contenders. Or so we thought. Three of the six games turned out to be duds. Instead, it was just another week in the NFL where another unsuspecting man got hit in the face with a football. Let’s get to the unexpected (and expected) for week 15.
