The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Saturday that they have hired Brian Flores — the former Miami Dolphins head coach who filed a lawsuit against the NFL and several teams earlier this month over racist hiring practices — as their new senior defensive assistant/linebackers coach.
Flores joins a coaching staff lead by Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, currently the second-longest tenured head coach in the NFL (behind Bill Belichick) and — following Flores’ Dolphins firing and the Houston Texans’ recent hiring of Lovie Smith — one of only two black head coaches in the league.

Late-night talk show hosts Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert offered a blend of comedic and serious commentaries about the racial discrimination lawsuit that former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores recently filed against the NFL and its teams. So many explanations have been offered for why all but five head coaches across the League’s 32 teams are white. The 70 percent of NFL players are Black statistic has been repeatedly amplified over the past two weeks. Yet, weirdly, there is one group of people from whom far too little is being...

For the second week in a row, Thursday Night Football addressed domestic violence during its broadcast. CBS Sports' Bill Cowher said he thought most in the NFL were upset by the damage recent domestic violence scandals were inflicting on the league's image, while Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith condemned domestic violence in a prerecorded interview broadcast during the pregame show.

Unlike last week, the pregame show didn't dedicate its entire

The Bears have hired a new coach after firing Lovie Smith. The Associated Press reports Marc Trestman, coach of the Cfl's Montreal Alouettes, is being brought in to fix the team's offense and get them to the playoffs consistently.
Trestman, a former NFL offensive coordinator, has spent the last five years as a head coach in Canada's league. During his tenure in Montreal, Trestman was able to coach his team toward two Grey Cup titles, the Cfl equivalent of a Super Bowl victory.
That isn't the only change being made to the Bears' coaching staff, though. An anonymous source claims the Bears are also hiring New Orleans Saints offensive line coach Aaron Kromer, though the move hasn't been announced yet. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys announced on their website that special teams coach Joe DeCamillis is leaving the team to join the Bears as assistant coach and special teams coordinator.

The Chicago Bears were puttering along in the first half against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. They were running the ball well and playing their usual outstanding defense, with the passing game was looking for some rhythm. Bears quarterback Jay Cutler threw an early interception and he was off target much of the 1st half, but his offensive line was keeping him upright.
The Fox camera kept panning to Jay Cutler, but the gun-slinging Qb wasn’t giving them much to run with. He had his share of first half frustrations, but not a bump or a shun was seen. It was business as usual for the Bears, but they could only muster a lone field goal, and they went into the locker room tied 3-3.
But there’s two halves to every football game, and that 3-3 tie quickly turned into a lopsided game.
