The Battle Red Blog writers evaluate if the Patriots represent a trap game.

The Houston Texans enter week six on a roll after defeating their best opponent this season. They now face another AFC East opponent in the New England Patriots.

This is one of the least competent...

Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images

It’s a good, old-fashioned NFC West hate fest.

Hello, good evening and welcome to week 6 of the NFL season.

This week, TNF plays host to a long-standing rivalry and by “long-standing,” I mean for a little over a decade or so. Tonight, the San Francisco 49ers travel to my backyard to take on the Seattle Seahawks.

No Collins or Mixon means someone must pick up the slack

The Houston Texans entered the 2024 season with high hopes and after beating the Buffalo Bills last weekend, continue to manage expectations at 4-1. That record is good enough for the #2 seed in the AFC if the playoffs started today.
