Pro football is heating up in east Ventura County. The temperature was quickly approaching the 100-degree mark as the Los Angeles Rams wrapped up their morning workout in Thousand Oaks.

After the release of several veteran players this off-season, including quarterback Philip Rivers, it appeared that the Los Angeles Chargers were rebuilding for the future. Any thoughts along those lines ended last week with the signing of three key veteran free agents. The Chargers added cornerback Chris Harris, right tackle Bryan Bulaga and defensive tackle Linval Joseph. All three players will be 31 years old at the start of the regular season.

The Los Angeles Chargers got this carousel started last week when they mutually agreed to end their sixteen-year relationship with Philip Rivers.

The speculation is that...
1. Baltimore Ravens (13-2): The Ravens have clinched homefield advantage for the AFC playoffs and will rest their key starters in week 17, which includes quarterback Lamar Jackson. Any AFC team in the playoffs should be studying as to how they would slow down quarterback Lamar Jackson, the likely NFL MVP, in case of a matchup with the Ravens. 2. New Orleans Saints (12-3): Amazingly, the Saints could end up 13-3 and be forced to play a first-round game at home against the Minnesota Vikings. The S...
1. New England Patriots (8-0): The Pats have a dominant defense and a significant reason has been the use of the "zero blitz." The zero blitz is a defense with no deep safety help and as many as seven rushers. It requires an elite secondary that can cover man-to-man, which the Pats just happen to have. Next: -3 at Baltimore Ravens - Sun, Nov. 3 2. San Francisco 49ers (7-0): Rookie defensive end Nick Bosa was named Defensive Player of the Week in the NFC for week 8. Bosa had three sacks and an in...

San Francisco 49ers (6-0): The 49ers acquired wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and a 5th round pick from the Broncos for a 3rd round draft pick and 4th round draft pick.

Bennett said he got into a "philosophical disagreement" with his position coach. Don't be surprised if Bennett is traded in the next ten days. Next: -9.5 at New York Jets - Mon, Oct. 21 2. San Francisco 49ers (5-0): General Manager John Lynch has done an outstanding job of rebuilding the 49ers. The nine-time pro bowl safety has put together a roster of...
A surprise move and possibly a sign of more shake-ups to come! On Tuesday afternoon, the Los Angeles Rams traded cornerback Marcus Peters to the Baltimore Ravens for second-year linebacker Kenny Young out of UCLA and an undisclosed 2020 draft pick. The trade comes on the heels of three consecutive losses by the Rams.

1. New England Patriots (5-0): As the defending Super Bowl Champions, as long as the Pats are unbeaten, they deserve to be the top-rated team in the power rankings.

San Francisco 49ers (4-0): The 49ers have the #1 ranked rushing offense in the NFL, along with the #2 passing defense and #4 rushing defense. This is a very good...
1. New England Patriots (4-0): The Pats survived in Buffalo despite only scoring 16 points and gaining a total of 224 yards.

Kansas City Chiefs (4-0): Patrick Mahomes was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September. He may have his star wide receiver Tyreek Hill back this week. Hill has been out since week one due to a clavicle...

12 NFL Power Rankings - Week 3 1. New England Patriots (2-0): The Pats are off to a fast start, winning both games by a combined 76-3. With the wounded Jets up next, there is no reason to believe the Pats juggernaut will be slowing down this week. Next: -22.5 vs New York Jets - Sun, Sep. 22 2. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0): For anyone who thought Patrick Mahomes might regress in 2019, he threw for 278 yards and four touchdowns against the Raiders. In the 2nd quarter. Without Tyreek Hill.

Touchdown celebrations are unique to many NFL players. Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has developed his own signature air-guitar celebration and the celebration was on full display Sunday, as he scored three touchdowns, including the game winner in overtime to lead the Chargers to a 30-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. With the win, the Chargers are 1-0 for the first time since 2015. The Chargers survived their season opener at home in the friendly confines of Dignity...
It is believed by many people around the NFL that the Los Angeles Chargers have one of the best rosters in the NFL.

Here is a look at a three round mock draft I created for AFC West division teams - Round 1: #4 Oakland Raiders – Clenin Ferrell, DE, Clemson, 6'4", 264 - The Raiders had the worst pass rush in the N...
NFL free agency is underway, and the early returns may signal some significant changes in the race to succeed the Kansas City Chiefs as the best team in the AFC West.

Here is a summary of free agency in the AFC West to this point: Oakland Raiders – The Raiders had the worst roster going into the off-season and have made some significant additions in free agency and through a few t...

On Monday, March 19, the Rams agreed to terms with 10-year veteran linebacker Clay Matthews on a two-year deal. Matthews, six-time NFL Pro Bowler and native of Southern California who played football at Agoura High, spent the last 10 seasons with...
11 NFL Power Rankings - Week 13 1. Los Angeles Rams (11-1) - Aaron Donald is starting to be mentioned as an MVP candidate. He has been dominant with a league leading 16.5 sacks, but he should be the Defensive Player of the Year. The Ram defense has not been good enough, overall, to earn Donald an MVP award.

11 NFL Power Rankings - Week 12 1. New Orleans Saints (10-1) - The Saints have won ten in a row, but the schedule will become more challenging in the coming weeks with the Cowboys, Steelers and Panthers (twice).

Los Angeles Rams (10-1) - The Rams are coming off their bye week and nobody needed this more than Todd Gurley. He is recovering from an ankle injury suffered in the game with the...
11 NFL Power Rankings - Week 11 1. New Orleans Saints (9-1) - The Saints don't appear to have any weaknesses.
