This is the final of three consecutive weeks where six teams have their bye week. Some notable running backs on bye are Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, St. Louis' Steven Jackson and New York's Thomas Jones. That said, here are three running backs that may be a little under the radar that I expect to have a big week: Jonathan Stewart, Panthers : It should be fairly obvious that Stewart's running mate,...

We have talked about how the offensive line looked better last week against the Jaguars which begs the question of whether the line got better or just looked good against a weaker Jacksonville defense. They will get the chance to answer that question on Sunday. The 49ers defense leads the league in yards per carry on defense and are second in the league in yards per game allowed. Those numbers are...

If only running backs not named Adrian Peterson stood perfectly still and acted like a tackling dummy. Then life would be easier on Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway who supposedly leads the league in missed tackles. The stat is not officially kept, but I’ve heard that STATS, inc has him as the leader in missed tackles from [...]

PITTSBURGH – Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings were anything but perfect. The Vikings couldn't gain a half-yard when it might have turned the game, then watched the Steelers' big-play defense end their unbeaten season with two long touchdown returns in the final 6 1/2 minutes. LaMarr Woodley's 77-yard fumble return and Keyaron Fox's 82-yard interception return on turnovers

Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner (33) heads for a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints in the first half of an NFL football game in New Orleans, Monday, Nov. 2, 2009. Michael Turner did some self-scouting last week to find out why he wasn't breaking off big runs for the Atlanta Falcons. What was wrong with the Pro Bowl running back? "I just had to run with the same determination...

ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Jim Schwartz doesn't want his Detroit Lions to play an overly conservative offense. Without Calvin Johnson, he doesn't think he has much of a choice. Even with a bye week to prepare and the return of rookie quarterback Matt Stafford, the Lions (1-6) couldn't move the ball consistently against the hapless St. Louis Rams on Sunday, losing 17-10 to a team that hadn't won a game

Chris Johnson continues to live in the shadows of Adrian Peterson as the NFL's best running back, but the league's current leading rusher has earned a few headlines of his own for the Tennessee Titans.

A decade ago, Finest was just that, the finest around. In recent years, it has become a stale mid year release from Topps that has ranged from high end at over 150 a box, middle end around $80-90. It even has switched formats a number of times, going from one box of 24 packs to three mini boxes of 8 packs each, to now two mini boxes, all of which makes us long for a simple product with simple cards....

It appears only one NFC team stands in the Vikings' way at the halfway point of the season. Here are their cheerleaders. View full size photo » If you gave every NFL team the option of when they wanted their bye week, I'm guessing most teams would pick Week 9 because it is the precise median of the 17-week NFL season. Thankfully, the Vikings get that perfect weekend of to kick back and enjoy...

Yesterday, the NFL Channel ran a very interesting stat comparison between Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin over the last few games. As much as Peterson has done for the Vikings, it was surprising to see that Harvin has actually done more recently. In Sunday’s game against the Pack, Harvin caught 84 yards worth of passes, ran up 175 yards returning kicks and scored a touchdown as icing on the...

Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan is fast, very fast. And he refuses to even think about racing teammate Chris Johnson. Not even for fun. "There's some things you just don't do," Finnegan said with a smile. "A Ferrari and a Toyota Corolla will not race. I feel like I'll be a Toyota Corolla. I'm not going to race a Ferrari." Johnson is the speedy second-year running back from...
