For weeks, all we've been hearing about is how terrible the replacement officials were in the NFL. The real officials were back this week, so were the calls actually any better?

The New York Giants missed a chance to secure a divisional win, while Arizona and Atlanta each needed late field goals to remain unbeaten. Here's a recap of all of Sunday's action:

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills — 1 P.M. Ralph Wilson Stadium, Buffalo, N.Y. Consecutive, last-minute defeats to Arizona and Baltimore make this game extra important for New England (1-2).

This weekend, finally, the real refs will be back on the sidelines, saving us from any further on-field debacles like the ending to last Monday Night's Packers-Seahawks game. For all the phantom pass-interference calls and overlong instant-replay reviews, certain moments are sure to stick out when, in future years, we look back on the first three weeks of the 2012 season and wonder just what the w

Cary Williams returned an interception 63 yards for a touchdown, and the Baltimore Ravens held on to defeat the Cleveland Browns, 23-16, in Baltimore on Thursday night.

We're pretty sure every NFL stadium has at least five fights during a game. The fights usually have little to do with what's going on on the field.

Bye weeks begin as the NFL enters its fourth week of the 2012 season. Here's a preview of all of this week's action:

The NFL and and the NFL Referees Association have agreed to a contract that will send referees back to the field this weekend, according to NFL.com. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement that the the refs will be back on the field starting with Thursday night's game between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens...

As we head into week number four in the NFL, two teams are still looking for win number one. So, which winless team has the best chance at the Lombardi Trophy?

The latest rumor is that the NFL and replacement refs are close to a deal. As you know, the NFL has been to use high school referees as replacements while it negotiates with the actual referees' union, which has led to the occasional minor controversy. And while Monday's night's disastrous ending to the Packers-Seahawks game is probably the pinnacle (or nadir) of this sad saga, there were already

By now, even non-football fans have heard about the officiating debacle in last night's showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks (just check your Facebook feed). Facing a 12-7 deficit with just seconds left to play, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson rolled out of the pocket and threw a desperation heave into the end zone, resulting in a game-clinching interception for the Pack

As the labor dispute between the NFL and the referees’ union continues, criticism of the replacement officials has been going on for weeks and has only gotten louder after a blown call on 'Monday Night Football' gave Seattle a 14-12 win over Green Bay. How bad have things gotten for the NFL?

New England Patriots All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski is everywhere. During the season we see him catching passes from Tom Brady and spiking footballs after every touchdown. Lately we have also been seeing him in quite a few endorsements. If you haven't had your full of 'GRONK,' maybe you can at least have a full belly, with the new 'Gronk Flakes.'

Another week in the NFL and another week of some very questionable calls. Everyone is frustrated by the replacement officials, but are some coaches going too far?

Three overtime games and several last-second finishes highlighted the NFL action from Week 3. Here's a recap of all of Sunday's games:

Okay, so you've weathered the first two weeks of the 2012 fantasy football season and dropped that rookie running back that you knew you shouldn't have drafted.
