This is the damage a busload of idiots can inflict. If it wasn’t bad enough at Oklahoma; if losing by 34 in a bowl game to cap a five-loss season didn’t have the Sooners’ teetering on collapse, they’re now careening into a critical crossroads moment because of the one thing any team, any organization, can’t possibly navigate without further fallout. Racism. The word itself is utterly repulsive, its strength fueled by bigotry, hate, ignorance, fear and finally, destruction....

His answer, basically, was “everything.” His solution: Don't change a thing. “When you're 3‑5, and you have a plan, there's times when you are 3‑5 and you can start to question the plan — and these guys didn't question the plan," Kelly told reporters this week, in preparation for an NFC playoff game against the Saints that few believed was possible at the season’s midpoint. “I think when we made mistakes — we all made mistakes — we owned our mistakes," he continued....

The man who led the highest-scoring offense in the NFL this season will reportedly interview for four open head-coaching positions around the NFL next Friday and Saturday.

Atlanta was faced with a similarly tough slate in 2017 and came out 10-6. With the 13th toughest schedule based on last year’s records, the Falcons have to hope for that same bit of good fortune this year. The six games against the Saints, Panthers and Bucs don’t give much room for error, and having to play the Steelers, Eagles and Packers only adds pressure. Such a tough schedule makes games against teams like the Cardinals and Ravens even more critical....

Atlanta’s 24-15 loss in Philadelphia on Sunday was its third in five games, dropping its record to 6-4 on the year. The Falcons’ season has a similar feel to that of last year, when they started 5-0 and 6-1 before they dropped their next six games en route to an 8-8 finish.

Instead of closing the gap on the NFC South leaders, the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints both choked away golden opportunities, losing their games in the most improbable of ways....

But for certain, those nine teams didn’t resemble anyone the Eagles would have to go through to win a Super Bowl, or get to one. The Seahawks made that clear throughout their 24-10 win in which they never trailed. The Eagles had no choice but to act accordingly. This score wasn’t going to be in the 30s, never mind the 50s as it was just three weeks ago against Brock Osweiler and the Broncos....

The Philadelphia linebacker believes the opposition’s quarterback, Kirk Cousins, is the team’s weak link. “Cousins, I think every defense is going to want that guy to throw the ball,” Brown told reporters Friday. “For me, that’s probably the weakest part of their offense is him. Everything else is good. They’ve got a good running game, probably one of the best in the league. They have real good receivers. You just want them to pass the ball....

Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman turned a relatively quiet free agency period into one of the busiest draft nights in the NFL, moving a first-round pick to the Saints for a future pick, trading away a first-round pick on draft night and moving up to take one of the draft’s best defenders in Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis. But the biggest splash on draft night was made when they acquired Titans wide receiver AJ Brown for the No....

The magnetic field is generated by the planet’s liquid core, with the swirling motions of iron creating a field that extends out into space. It provides a barrier protecting Earth from harmful radiation from the sun, as well as helping to maintain our atmosphere by deflecting the solar wind—a stream of charged particles coming from the sun. Movements of the liquid core mean the magnetic field is constantly changing. At times, it gets much weaker and the magnetic north and south poles flip....
