The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> need a new head coach for 2026, and Bill Belichick may be the frontrunner for the job. Now, Denver Broncos head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a> has sent a clear message to the entire NFL about the potential return of the six-time Super Bowl champion.



Following a disappointing 2025 NFL season, the Giants are expected to undergo a major rebuild next year. The first and most important move? A change at the head coach position.



After several seasons without being contenders, the Giants need a big name to lead the team. For that reason, the main option has become <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a>, who is reportedly being eyed by several teams as he considers a return to the league.



<h2>Sean Payton makes honest confession on Bill Belichick potentially returning to the NFL</h2>



A few months ago, Bill Belichick was in search of an NFL team to coach. However, no franchise decided to hire him, despite his six <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> wins and the number of teams in need of a top-tier coach.



Because of that, Belichick chose to test himself in college by coaching the UNC Tar Heels. His season was not outstanding, which is why rumors suggest he is now eyeing a return to the league in 2026.



As of today, the New York Giants appear to be the most likely landing spot. His potential return has raised alarms across the league, as many believe he still has what it takes to turn a franchise into a true contender, just as he did with the Patriots.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bill-belichick-robert-kraft-involved-in-competition-for-unique-recognition-after-ugly-patriots-breakup"></div>


However, there is one coach who is not concerned about Belichick’s return: Sean Payton. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Broncos</a> head coach welcomes the idea, saying Belichick is the type of coach who forces everyone to elevate their game immediately.



“I’ll be honest with you, I miss him not being in the league,” Sean Payton told reporters on Wednesday about Bill Belichick. “I miss him not being in the league, and I wouldn’t be surprised, and I would be somewhat hopeful that he ends up back in the league. We’d all be better for it. He’s something.”



<h2>Will the Giants hire Bill Belichick?</h2>



The Giants fired Brian Daboll earlier this year due to the teams poor performances. While they named Mike Kafka the interim coach, he is not expected to remain in the role for the 2026 season.



The rumors of Bill Belichick joining the Giants are strong, but they are still only rumors. Everything will depend on Belichick’s decision to return to the league and whether New York views him as the savior of the franchise.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> have been almost perfect this year. However, the front office is aware of the needs in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a>‘s offense, which is why the club has signed a new player — one who was with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills this same season.



Standing at 10-2, the Broncos are practically in the playoffs. Nevertheless, the front office aims for that first-week bye, which is why Denver has added a new weapon for Bo Nix to keep the streak alive and secure the No. 1 seed.



On Tuesday, the Broncos announced that Elijah Moore has been signed to their practice squad. The wide receiver is expected to be elevated in the upcoming days, as he could provide a massive boost to Nix’s offense.



<h2>Elijah Moore brings more versatility and depth to the Broncos</h2>



As of today, Courtland Sutton remains the best wide receiver on the roster. However, there has been a lot of uncertainty about the rest of the corps behind the talented veteran.



Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant are listed as WR2 and WR3, respectively. Marvin Mims Jr. is the fourth option, but his duties as a punt returner reduce his workload on offense.



The 25-year-old wideout has not enjoyed a great career so far, averaging just above 550 receiving yards in the five seasons he has been in the NFL. However, the lack of depth is where Elijah Moore could find his opportunity to shine in Denver.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/sean-payton-makes-something-brutally-clear-about-the-broncos-win-vs-commanders-in-week-13s-snf"></div>


Moore was part of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bills</a> this season, but he started only two games, recording nine receptions for 112 yards from Josh Allen. Now, he joins an offense that was desperate for a solid wideout, and Denver could be the place where he finds the stability he needs.



<h2>Moore’s arrival comes at a crucial moment for Denver</h2>



Even though the Broncos are 10-2 and the AFC West seems firmly in their control, they do not want to take any chances. Their goal is to extend the current nine-game winning streak through the end of the regular season.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251202_BUS_537899_Elijah-Moore-new-WR-for-the-Broncos_4a85b193.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Elijah Moore, new WR for the Broncos" class="wp-image-538004"></figure><figcaption>Elijah Moore, new WR for the Broncos</figcaption></figure>



In this final stretch, Denver faces the Raiders, Chargers, and Chiefs — three divisional matchups that will not be easy at all. If Nix can build a strong connection with Moore, the Broncos could finally become the true contenders that many still doubt they are.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> came off a bye week with one thing in mind: beating the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. They did, but it was tougher than expected. Still, head coach Sean Payton made something clear about the Week 13 win.



Quickly after the game, the narrative was that the Broncos escaped with an OT win. For Payton, it was clear. “We&nbsp;didn’t escape. We won,” Payton said, via Michael Phillips of the Associated Press in a classic <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a> way. “The journey of a good team’s season involves games like this. And then you believe you can do it again.”



Payton is not a guy to sugarcoat anything and he is an old fox in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Hence, he knows a win is a win, no matter how you’re able to get it. In the end, it was an away primetime game for the Broncos and a win put them 10-2.



<h2>The offense is still not clicking</h2>



Hey, the team scored 27 points and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a> threw for 321 yards, how can someone say the offense is not clicking? Well, Nix threw an interception once again, had less than 50% efficiency on third downs, only 87 rushing yards and the Commanders had more first downs than the Broncos. Oh… and the Commanders were playing with a backup quarterback.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251201_BUS_537676_bonix_f3eead10.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Bo Nix quarterback of the Denver Broncos" class="wp-image-527223"></figure><figcaption>Bo Nix quarterback of the Denver Broncos</figcaption></figure>



The reality is that the defense made plenty of good plays despite allowing 26 points. That includes a key defensive play by edge Nik Bonitto on a two-point conversion that would’ve won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commanders</a> the game.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20201117#BUS#166032"></div>


<h2>At 10-2, Denver is lacking a strong resume</h2>



Yes, being 10-2 is a very hard thing to do in the NFL, but when looking at the games, it doesn’t seem like Denver is a contender. In fact, the Broncos don’t have too many ‘statement wins’. 



As a matter of fact, the Broncos have beaten just one team that would go to the playoffs if the season ended today. The other two playoffs teams that they have faced are the Colts and Chargers, which are the Broncos’ two losses on the season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> are in serious jeopardy of missing the NFL Playoffs. With that, head coach Andy Reid has issued a very strong warning to the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers, and Denver Broncos, among other rivals.



Per Charles Goldman of A to ZSports, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andy Reid</a> said, “We’re going to try to tickle on your tonsils on every play, every game. That’s the attitude that we’re coming in with. Then you let the chips fall where they may… There’s not a game that I go into that I don’t think we’re going to get after ya.“



The calendar of the Chiefs is a very tough one. The next week they face the league’s best defense in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Texans</a>. Then, they host the Chargers, a team that already beat the Chiefs, at Arrowhead. Following that, they visit the poor Titans only to then face the AFC West leaders Broncos, and then they close against the Raiders.



<h2>Mahomes has to deliver on Reid’s warning</h2>



If Reid says that the team will “try to tickle on your tonsils on every play,” then the one in charge of executing those tickling plays is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a>. Number 15 has had an up and down season, but no one can deny his talent.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251201_BUS_537472_mahomes-after-losing-to-the-jaguars_10310441.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs" class="wp-image-504454" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs</figcaption></figure>



Mahomes is leading the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> in pass attempts, completing a career-low 64.6% but also has 22 touchdowns to seven interceptions. The lack of weapons is something that has hampered the team.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-jerry-jones-cowboys-send-strong-warning-to-entire-nfc-after-impressive-wins-against-eagles-and-chiefs"></div>


<h2>The roadblocks can vary from week to week</h2>



Week 14 against the Texans presents Mahomes against the best defense in football. Week 15 pits Mahomes against a top-tier quarterback in Justin Herbert. As for Week 16, it’s an away game that could be considered as a lookahead spot. 



Then Week 17 is against the fourth-best scoring defense in the NFL in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Broncos</a>. If the Chiefs and Mahomes are alive for Week 18, it’s the Raiders, a struggling team, but with huge disdain towards the Chiefs due to the divisional rivalry.



Now, the Chiefs are not exactly in the best position, but the fact is they can either win or lose every single game. They will play with added pressure every single week. In fact, these are games that can be defined as ‘must-win‘.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> finally have positive news regarding their backfield. After losing J.K. Dobbins earlier this season to a foot injury, the team has now provided an intriguing update on the running back’s potential return to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a>’s offense.



In Week 10, Dobbins suffered a foot injury following a hip-drop tackle against the Raiders. Initially, the expectation was that he would miss the remainder of the season. However, head coach Sean Payton has now offered an encouraging update that suggests a return may still be in play.



“It wouldn’t be soon, but that has a chance to happen,” Payton said on Dobbins, via Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. It seems like Dobbins would be back for playoffs, which is a really good sign for Denver.



<h2>Denver’s injury list keeps growing, but the team keeps winning</h2>



In addition to Dobbins, the Broncos have several key players dealing with injuries. Yet, despite the setbacks, Denver has managed to maintain its momentum and strengthen its position in the AFC West.



Pat Surtain II (pectoral), Jonah Elliss (hamstring), and Alex Singleton (recovering from testicular cancer) are among the notable names sidelined. Fortunately for Denver, all three have resumed practice and appear to be on track for a return in the near future.



Even with multiple top contributors injured, the Broncos sit atop the AFC West with an impressive 9-2 record. Coming out of their bye week, they will face the Washington Commanders in Week 12 — a crucial matchup as Denver looks to continue its push for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

NFL teams with limited playoff appearances: Long droughts and short histories

Broncos provide Bo Nix with intriguing update on J.K. Dobbins' potential return - Bolavip US

It’s clear that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a>’ biggest need is at wide receiver. However, the AFC West team has reportedly declined the opportunity to bring in a veteran pass-catcher who is currently looking for a new home—leaving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a> without a potential new weapon for his offense.



Earlier this year, the Broncos reportedly explored multiple trade scenarios for wideouts across the league. Their most notable attempt targeted Jaylen Waddle, but Miami’s high asking price led Denver to walk away.



While trades are off the table for the remainder of the season, free agency remains an avenue to bolster the roster. Even so, the Broncos have decided not to pursue a veteran wide receiver who recently hit the market.



<h2>Report: Broncos not pursuing WR Brandin Cooks</h2>



Brandin Cooks became a free agent after being released by the New Orleans Saints. The veteran wideout wants to continue his NFL career, but his options are becoming increasingly limited.



Cooks was an early speculative fit for Denver due to his history with Sean Payton. The current Broncos head coach drafted Cooks in 2014 while leading the Saints, making a reunion seem logical—especially with Denver’s evident need at receiver.



However, that reunion appears unlikely. Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports that the Broncos “are not in the mix” for Cooks despite the earlier speculation connecting him to the team.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-teams-with-limited-playoff-appearances"></div>


According to multiple reports, both the Bills and Rams have shown interest in the veteran. It’s possible Cooks prefers one of those two destinations, as both Buffalo and Los Angeles currently offer more established quarterback situations than rookie Bo Nix.



Cooks clearly has a strategy in mind, considering he gave up $2 million to secure his release from New Orleans. But for now, it appears the Broncos are not part of his plan—and the feeling may be mutual, with Denver showing no signs of reuniting him with Sean Payton this season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>’s postseason spotlight has long favored its giants, leaving several franchises to navigate obscurity and frustration. Some carry the weight of decades-old droughts; others are still carving out their story.



Their paths differ, yet each team shares a familiar tension: brief surges of hope followed by seasons that fade too soon. History has shaped them, but so have the missed chances that linger in the background.



From young franchises seeking footing to legacy teams burdened by lean eras, their journeys reveal how elusive January football can be. These stories trace the thin line between promise and endurance.



<h2>2010 New York Giants</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_New-York-Giants_64ff8fbd.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531120"></figure><figcaption>New York Giants (Source: Michael Heiman/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The 2010 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> embodied a team that looked fully capable of returning to postseason form yet kept stumbling at the most delicate moments. New York finished 10–6, a record that usually earns a playoff berth, but a pair of costly December collapses — most infamously the late-game meltdown against Philadelphia — reshaped their fate.



It was also a transitional year, with the newly opened MetLife Stadium altering the backdrop of a franchise accustomed to ritual and routine. Team reports noted how Tom Coughlin’s squad combined productive offensive stretches with turnovers at critical junctures, making them appear simultaneously dangerous and fragile.



Their season ultimately became a reminder that even respectable win totals can crumble under tiebreakers and timing. In a decade defined by unpredictable swings, the 2010 Giants were a case study in how narrow the margin between success and exclusion can be.



<h2>2008 New England Patriots</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_Tom-Brady-4_a1d61490.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531122"></figure><figcaption>Quarterback Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots in 2008. (Source: Andy Lyons/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The 2008 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">Patriots</a> entered the season with the shadow of a perfect regular-year campaign behind them, only to watch their entire structure shift within minutes of Week 1. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>’s season-ending knee injury forced the team to recalibrate its identity overnight, putting Matt Cassel at the helm of an offense built for a different quarterback.



Despite the setback, New England battled to an 11–5 record — the kind of total that, in most seasons, guarantees a playoff ticket. But that year’s AFC landscape was unusually crowded, and tiebreakers pushed them out of the bracket. 



Analysts at the time described it as one of the strongest non-playoff teams the league had seen, a reflection of both their resilience and the merciless mathematics of postseason qualification.



Their season stands as a rare instance where a powerhouse operated well enough to contend, yet not quite well enough to overcome the unusual conditions around them. It remains one of the league’s more memorable “almost” seasons.



<h2>2002 Denver Broncos</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_2002-Denver-Broncos_50a481c1.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531123"></figure><figcaption>Brian Griese #14 of the Denver Broncos in 2002. (Source: Josh Merwin/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Denver’s 2002 campaign unfolded in a transitional period marked by roster turnover and shifting expectations. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Broncos</a> finished 9–7, steady but inconsistent, as they entered the first full year without Terrell Davis — whose retirement closed a defining chapter in franchise history.



Into that void stepped rookie Clinton Portis, who delivered a breakout season that kept the offense competitive even as the team recalibrated its longer-term identity.



Game recaps highlighted a team capable of impressive midseason surges but prone to abrupt lapses, the kind that made their postseason hopes contingent on help that never arrived. Mike Shanahan’s group flashed physicality and big-play potential, yet struggled to stack wins when pressure mounted.



Their near-miss underscored Denver’s shift from a known contender to a team caught somewhere between eras — strong enough to threaten, but not quite strong enough to extend its season.



<h2>2010 San Diego Chargers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_Philip-Rivers_13a369f9.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531124"></figure><figcaption>Philip Rivers #17 of the San Diego Chargers in 2010. (Source: Donald Miralle/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Few seasons in modern NFL memory are as contradictory as the 2010 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-diego-chargers">Chargers</a>. San Diego finishing first in the league in both total offense and total defense — a remarkable pairing that should, in theory, have positioned them as legitimate postseason threats. But special teams breakdowns repeatedly undercut their dominance, turning routine plays into decisive setbacks.



Analysts throughout the season, pointed to blocked punts, long returns allowed, and critical miscommunications as the hidden thread running through their 9–7 record. The Chargers were explosive and efficient in open-field situations but startlingly vulnerable in transition phases of the game.



The contrast made their season feel almost surreal: a roster that excelled in the most demanding aspects of football but faltered in the simplest. It remains one of the clearest examples of how invisible weaknesses can derail even the most statistically imposing teams.



<h2>1999 Kansas City Chiefs</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_Elvis-Grbac_b1a5a311.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531125"></figure><figcaption>Elvis Grbac #18 of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1999. (Source: Jonathan Daniel /Allsport</figcaption></figure>



The 1999 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> entered the season carrying both veteran leadership and the expectation that experience would translate into January football. They finished 9–7, but the campaign is best remembered for its dramatic final chapter: a Week 17 overtime loss to the Raiders that erased their postseason path in a single kick.



Throughout the year, Kansas City alternated between efficient stretches and sudden inconsistency. It was a group capable of controlling tempo but vulnerable to late-game swings that turned manageable matchups into narrow defeats.



Their season serves as a portrait of a competitive but unsettled era — one where the Chiefs were neither rebuilding nor fully formed, hovering just outside the door of contention. The 1999 team showed that sometimes the most painful seasons are the ones where the margin is only a few inches wide.



<h2>2017 Baltimore Ravens</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_Joe-Flacco_6b1a320b.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531126"></figure><figcaption>Joe Flacco #5 of the Baltimore Ravens in 2017. (Source: Patrick Smith/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The 2017 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a> season serves as a painful case study in the cruel mathematics of the AFC Wild Card race. With their offense finally finding its rhythm late in the calendar and their defense reverting to its hallmark brand of physical intimidation, Baltimore positioned itself with a strong 9-6 record heading into Week 17. 



The equation was simple: defeat the already-eliminated Cincinnati Bengals at home to secure a playoff berth. The game unfolded like a high-stakes drama, with the Ravens battling for the lead until the final quarter. 



However, in a play etched into the memories of the fanbase, the defense surrendered a last-minute touchdown on an improbable fourth-and-twelve conversion. 



That single score, combined with the Buffalo Bills’ simultaneous win over the Dolphins, meant the Ravens’ 9-7 record was insufficient. The desolation was immediate; the team that had won five of its last seven games was shut out by the slimmest of margins and the cruel hand of fate.



<h2>2012 Chicago Bears</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_Chicago-Bears_b83cc33e.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531127"></figure><figcaption>Brandon Marshall #15 of the Chicago Bears in 2012. (Source: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The beginning of the 2012 campaign in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago</a> ignited genuine hope among the league’s most fervent fan base. The team, built around a suffocating defense that set records for defensive touchdowns, exploded out to a 7-1 start, displaying a dominant point differential that placed them among the NFC elite. 



The chemistry between quarterback Jay Cutler and star receiver Brandon Marshall seemed unstoppable. But the momentum dissipated with a staggering series of late-season stumbles, resulting in a disappointing 3-5 finish to the year. 



Despite concluding with an enviable 10-6 record, tiebreakers favored the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC, relegating the Bears to a third-place finish in their division. 



This squad joined the infamous list of teams that start 7-1 yet fail to reach the postseason—a failure that culminated in the firing of head coach Lovie Smith the day after the season ended, sealing the narrative of an unpardonably wasted opportunity.



<h2>2000 Pittsburgh Steelers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_Kent-Graham_2707e292.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531128"></figure><figcaption>Kent Graham #11 of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2000. (Source: Tom Pidgeon /Allsport)</figcaption></figure>



The 2000 season in Pittsburgh was one of transition and deep nostalgia, as the team played its final year in the iconic Three Rivers Stadium. Bill Cowher‘s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> endured a terrible start, opening the campaign with a worrisome 0-3 skid that suggested yet another year of mediocrity. 



However, they demonstrated their historical resilience and clawed their way back with a powerful surge, eventually finishing the year with a 9-7 positive record for the first time since 1997. With running back Jerome Bettis powering the offense, this roster proved competitive once more. 



Yet, despite their valiant effort and the feeling of having salvaged a disastrous start, the fierce competition in the AFC Central—which included the eventual Super Bowl champion Ravens—meant their record was not enough for a Wild Card spot. 



Though they managed a symbolic victory in the final game at Three Rivers, the quiet elimination meant the new era would begin in a new stadium, but without the immediate glory of the playoffs.



<h2>2005 Kansas City Chiefs</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_Kansas-City-Chiefs-2_1a3976b9.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531129"></figure><figcaption>Larry Johnson #27 of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2005. (Source: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The 2005 campaign in Kansas City is a textbook example of how a historically weak defense can completely nullify a championship-caliber offense. This team was an absolute offensive juggernaut, powered by a dominant offensive line and the explosive emergence of running back Larry Johnson, who rushed for over 1,700 yards. 



Quarterback Trent Green directed a potent aerial attack. Under coach Dick Vermeil, the team secured an excellent 10-6 mark, a record that in almost any other year would have guaranteed a ticket to January football. Critically, however, the Chiefs finished with one of the league’s worst defenses. 



In a relentless AFC, their stellar record was not enough to overcome the tiebreakers, making them one of the rare 10-win teams to be locked out of the postseason that decade. Vermeil’s retirement at the season’s end left a bitter taste for the fans, a mix of pride in the offense and frustration over the squandered opportunity.



<h2>1991 San Francisco 49ers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251121_BUS_531111_Roger-Craig_fe4a82ed.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-531130"></figure><figcaption>Roger Craig #33 of the San Francisco 49ers in 1991. (Source: George Rose/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The 1991 season in San Francisco marked a profound inflection point. Following a decade of sustained dominance and four Super Bowl titles, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">49ers</a> faced the harsh reality of age and injury. 



Legendary quarterback Joe Montana was sidelined for nearly the entire year with a severe elbow injury, ceding control to Steve Young, who stepped up with a stellar season, throwing for over 2,500 yards and displaying amazing efficiency. 



Despite Young’s brilliant performance and the team finishing with a 10-6 record, this mark was not enough to carry them into the playoffs. They landed third in a brutally competitive NFC West, behind both the Saints and the Falcons. The 10-6 record, which was the same as the final Wild Card spot winner, saw them excluded due to complex tiebreaker rules. 



This season not only broke a streak of four consecutive NFC Championship Game appearances but also served as the unofficial, painful closing chapter of the dynasty’s first great cycle.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> are 9-2 after beating the Kansas City Chiefs in a tough, contested game. One of the team’s players made sure to remind everyone how important Bo Nix is to the team after outplaying Patrick Mahomes.



Offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey was in awe of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nix</a>, saying “He’s the leader&nbsp;of this football team&nbsp;and we should all take something from what he did today, because we don’t win that game without him.” 



Bo Nix completed 24/37 passes for 295 yards and a passer rating of 89.4. It was just about enough to outplay <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mahomes</a> and get his team a win. Nix was criticized in the last few weeks for his lack of consistency. Still, this game was very good for him. The team was also 7/15 on third downs.



<h2>Mahomes was not comfortable</h2>



Mahomes was sacked three times but was also constantly under pressure. He couldn’t get his flow going. Mahomes had 29/45 completions for 276 yards, one touchdown and one interception. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/07092406/patrick-mahomes-13-1920x1080.webp" alt="Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs" class="wp-image-504485" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs.</figcaption></figure>



Mahomes and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> are in an awful position now. With the Broncos now 9-2, winning the division is pretty much impossible for Kansas City. Having the Chargers at 7-4 is also tough. In fact, the Chiefs are now the ninth seed in the AFC at 5-5. The worrying thing too is that the Chargers and Jaguars already beat them. Now, they can beat the Chargers in their second game, but they have the worst part of the tiebreakers as of now. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bo-nix-sends-clear-message-to-critics-say-it-to-my-face-as-broncos-qb-struggles"></div>


<h2>Broncos’ schedule makes them dream with the AFC first seed</h2>



The Broncos and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patriots</a> are fighting for the first seed in the AFC as both are 9-2. However, looking at what the schedule offers, the Broncos might be excited and looking at the opportunity to be the first seed.



The next two games are the Commanders on a six-game losing streak and the 2-7 Raiders after that. Hence, they could easily be 11-2 in the next three weeks. Even better, the Broncos are now off to their bye week. So, they will be rested for the final stretch. The Broncos also play the up-and-down Packers at home, the Jaguars at home, Chiefs at arrowhead and close with the Chargers at home. They could easily end up with 13 or 14 wins.

A hip-drop tackle caused a serious injury to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jk-dobbins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">J.K. Dobbins</a>. Now, the star running back has issued a stern warning to the NFL after his season has potentially come to an end.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> have suffered a big setback, as J.K. Dobbins is set to miss the rest of the 2025 NFL season. He will undergo ankle surgery, and the timeline projects he will be out for several months.



While there is still a possibility he could return if the Broncos make a deep playoff run, as of today he is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign. Now, the running back has shared his first message after receiving the tough news.



<h2>J.K. Dobbins opens up on potentially missing the rest of the 2025 NFL season</h2>



The Broncos just lost their starting running back, and things have become even more complicated for Denver in their playoff push.



In Week 10, Dobbins suffered a hip-drop tackle against the Raiders. After several tests, doctors determined he needed surgery to repair the damage—likely ending his season, though he believes otherwise.



Following the announcement of his injury, J.K. Dobbins took to social media to warn the NFL that he will return and should not be counted out.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/broncos-suffer-big-blow-as-bo-nixs-crucial-teammate-is-ruled-out-for-the-2025-nfl-season"></div>


“For those who will count me out again… Thank you,” Dobbins wrote on X. “For those who are with me on this ride… stick with me! You will love what God has planned next.”



According to reports, Dobbins could return in the playoffs if the Broncos make a long run. After relying heavily on him for several weeks, the player’s hopes of playing again this season now depend on how far his team goes.

Bo Nix sends clear message to critics: ‘Say it to my face’ as Broncos QB struggles

Broncos reveal key strategy to stop Patrick Mahomes

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins issues stern warning to the NFL after suffering season-ending injury - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> have been hit with some very harsh news. On Saturday, NFL Media confirmed that a crucial teammate of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a> will miss the rest of the 2025 NFL season due to an injury.



Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported that running back <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jk-dobbins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">J.K. Dobbins</a> will undergo season-ending foot surgery. Dobbins sustained the injury on a hip-drop tackle during the Broncos win against the Raiders in Week 10.



Dobbins was having an outstanding season with the Broncos so far. He is set to become a free agent next year, but Denver still reportedly wants him to stay despite this injury.



<h2>The offense needed Dobbins, but not all hope is lost</h2>



J.K. Dobbins was fifth in the league in rushing yards with 772. He found a great place to showcase his skills, but now his season is over.



Dobbins has struggled with injuries his entire career. Now, the Broncos front office has a tough decision to make, as the running back will become a free agent next year and Denver reportedly wanted to offer him a new contract by the end of the season.



While the Broncos figure that issue out, head coach Sean Payton has another problem to solve. Now without his RB1, Payton will need to rely on a rookie as his replacement.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/broncos-reveal-key-strategy-to-stop-patrick-mahomes"></div>


RJ Harvey is now listed as RB1 in the Broncos’ depth chart. He was a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Denver has a lot of faith in him to step up as Dobbins’ replacement.



The former UCF standout has not had a great season, but with Dobbins out he could prove his worth. After 10 games, Harvey has had 50 carries for 214 yards and two touchdowns. However, he is not just a running back.



Harvey has been a key player for Bo Nix through the air. The rookie has had 25 receptions for 175 yards and four touchdowns, proving that he can be a dual-threat whose numbers can only improve now as the starter.



<h2>Broncos running back depth chart with J.K. Dobbins out</h2>



As mentioned, RJ Harvey will step up as the starting running back with J.K. Dobbins out. Even though he is a solid replacement, the depth at the position now raises questions.



Behind Harvey is Tyler Badie, who has only had 2 carries for 9 yards this year. Jaleel McLaughlin is listed as RB3, with only one attempt this season and no yards gained.

As the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> regular season nears its final stretch, the AFC West remains wide open, with three teams vying for the top spot. Empower Field will host a thrilling showdown between the Denver Broncos and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>’ Kansas City Chiefs, who are looking for a win to pull closer to their division rivals.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a>’s squad currently holds a 5-4 record, making a win imperative to close the gap on their division leaders — their very next opponents. The Chiefs know they have one of their biggest weapons on the field in Mahomes, meaning they’ll rely on the quarterback to deliver an outstanding performance to carry them through the game.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Broncos</a> know they can’t leave anything to chance if they want to avoid being overwhelmed by their opponent’s quarterback. During a recent press conference, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph made it clear that he knows exactly what needs to be done to contain the rival offense.



“He’s been the best for a long time,” Joseph told the media. “He’s a winner. The plays he can make off-schedule that makes it tough. Obviously, they’re in the huddle and they have a play called, and you can defend that play perfectly, and he can obviously bide time and the second act, that’s where he makes his explosive plays.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251115_BUS_527278_vance-joseph_777c9c08.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Vance Joseph" class="wp-image-527327"></figure><figcaption>Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph of the Denver Broncos.</figcaption></figure>



“Going against Patrick, obviously, how you rush him is important. How you cover is important. But the second part is, just keep chasing him and keep plastering on the back end, because those plays they’ve made over the years, him and [Travis] Kelce especially, has been hard on defenses. It’s a true challenge.”



<h2>In search of improvement</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/patrick-mahomes-fires-warning-at-broncos-chargers-after-chiefs-2025-struggles"></div>


<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> quarterback Patrick Mahomes is focused on reaching his MVP-caliber standard as the team attempts to improve its 5-4 record halfway through the 2025 NFL season. Despite the team’s winning record, Mahomes has acknowledged the need for more consistency. 



Through nine games, he has posted solid numbers, throwing for 2,410 yards with a 64.5% completion rate and 15 touchdowns, but his 9 interceptions have raised concerns about uncharacteristic sloppiness. 



Mahomes’ current 91.8 Passer Rating is his lowest since 2018, and the star signal-caller knows that his personal play must ascend for the Chiefs to secure their typical first-round bye and make a deep playoff run.



<h2>A pivotal match</h2>



The Kansas City Chiefs are heading into a pivotal AFC West matchup against the Denver Broncos this Sunday, knowing a victory is essential to tighten the divisional race. 



With both the Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers currently sitting ahead of them in the standings, a road win in Denver is crucial. Securing the victory would not only bring them closer to the Broncos in the race for the top spot but would also help them gain ground on the Chargers, who hold the tiebreaker advantage over Kansas City. The Chiefs understand that failing to beat their division rivals will make their path to a third-straight division title significantly more difficult.

Broncos reveal key strategy to stop Patrick Mahomes - Bolavip US

The Denver Broncos could take a very important step in their fight to win the AFC West with a victory over <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> at home in Week 11.



At the moment, the Broncos have a record of 8-2, leading the division, followed by the Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) and the Chiefs (5-4). Therefore, a win would give Sean Payton’s team a three-game lead over Kansas City, in addition to controlling the tiebreaker. A massive step.



However, the big problem for the Broncos is that injuries are piling up on their road to the Super Bowl. The latest report has confirmed several absences for the blockbuster matchup at Mile High.



<h2>Who has been ruled out for Broncos against Chiefs?</h2>



Running back J.K. Dobbins has been ruled out for the game between the Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs due to a foot injury. Patrick Surtain II, their star at cornerback, is also out as he hasn’t fully recovered from his pectoral injury.


 

 


Linebacker Alex Singleton won’t play against the Chiefs due to an illness. Tight end Nate Adkins (knee) and linebacker Jonah Elliss (hamstring) are officially out as well.



The Broncos have an impressive seven-game winning streak and, in addition to chasing the AFC West, they are also in the race for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, pursuing the New England Patriots (9-2).

The 2025 season hasn’t gone as planned for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, but Patrick Mahomes has a clear <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-sends-subtle-warning-to-broncos-rest-of-the-nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">message for the Broncos</a> and Chargers — don’t count them out yet.



After a 5-4 start, many fans believe the Chiefs may not make the playoffs this season. However, star quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> doesn’t think their campaign is over just yet.



“That’s always our first goal,” Patrick Mahomes said of winning the AFC West title. “It’s like the first goal we have that coach Reid puts up, is win the division, and we understand that it’s always a challenge and you have to go up against really good football teams that are scouting you all year long. We’ve been really good at that over these last seven, eight, nine years — whatever it is. We got to continue to get better and better.“



<h2>A tough stretch ahead, but history is on the Chiefs’ side</h2>



The Chiefs will face the Broncos in Week 11, one of their toughest tests so far. Denver currently sits at 8-2, and another win would make Sean Payton’s squad a true contender this year.



While the Broncos may have better momentum, history tells a different story. Since Mahomes’ arrival, the rivalry has been completely one-sided in Kansas City’s favor.



In 14 games against Denver, Mahomes holds an impressive 13-1 record. The Broncos’ most recent victory over him came back in 2023.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/patrick-mahomes-drops-reminder-to-travis-kelce-teammates-as-chiefs-risk-losing-afc-west-to-broncos-or-chargers"></div>


The story is similar against the Chargers. Mahomes is 10-3 versus Los Angeles, though Jim Harbaugh’s team managed to pull off a win in Week 1 this season.



The Chiefs still have two meetings left with Denver and one more with Los Angeles. If Kansas City manages to win all three, it would send a clear message from Mahomes — the Chiefs aren’t done yet.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> sit atop the NFL with an 8-2 record. Usually, that indicates a solid, well-rounded team. However, that is not the case, as the team is winning despite quarterback Bo Nix struggling hard to make ends meet. Still, the second-year signal-caller didn’t hesitate to hit back at his critics.



“For me it’s quite simple,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nix</a> said, “I delete my social media, I don’t have it, so unless somebody says it to my face I don’t really hear it — and nobody is ever bold enough to say it to your face. I don’t get on social media.” Nix is not taking well the criticism surrounding him.



Whether he reads the critics or not, the fact is that Nix has struggled. The QB ranks 28th in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> in completion percentage. Now, to be fair with him, he’s had his fair share of late-game heroics as the Broncos are 4-0 after trailing at the start of the fourth quarter. Still, for many that’s not enough, the fans want consistency.



<h2>Is Sean Payton losing his patience with Nix?</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a> worked with future Hall of Famer Drew Brees for most of his career. Hence, he is accustomed to good quarterbacking. Also, Payton is known to have a temper and to be a brilliant offensive mind. Therefore, when the offense isn’t clicking, his temper starts to boil.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251113_BUS_525806_Sean-Payton-Denver-Broncos-NFL-2022-1024x572_edbba8e0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Sean Payton - Denver Broncos " class="wp-image-54882" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Sean Payton – Denver Broncos </figcaption></figure>



However, a few days ago, Payton praised Nix’s ability to not take sacks. So, while Payton is still defending and highlighting his quarterback, he also knows he has a top-tier roster whose ceiling is clearly marked by Nix.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-sends-subtle-warning-to-broncos-rest-of-the-nfl"></div>


<h2>The Broncos offense is talented but not elite</h2>



The weapons that Nix has are not elite by any means. Still, they are more than capable to create harm. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been an underrated player all his career. Also, the team found a volume machine in WR Troy Franklin. Now, running back JK Dobbins is injured, but this will clear the path for rookie RJ Harvey to get more touches.



In many categories like yards per game and points per game, the Broncos are a middle of the pack unit. However, since the team’s defense is so tough, the team keeps winning.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> are having an underwhelming season. The team is not doing great, specifically the offense. After another heartbreaking loss to the Denver Broncos, head coach Pete Carroll was honest on what the team is lacking to become better.



“We’re not scoring enough points,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pete-carroll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carroll</a> said post-game. “That’s about as obvious as you can get… We’ve got to run the ball better… Chip was trying. He was staying with the running game to try to not let them tee off on us. We’ve got to score more.”



Trying to establish the run is one thing, not being able to do so and keep trying to go the route that is clearly not working is another. The Raiders ran 25 run plays for only 74 yards against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Broncos</a>. In fact, they only gained four first downs on run plays.



<h2>Chip Kelly might be on the hot seat</h2>



Chip Kelly was known as a very innovative playcaller back in the day but if this season is the judge of it, then the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> passed him by. Right now, the Raiders rank 30th in the NFL scoring just 15.4 points per game. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Geno Smith</a> is leading the NFL in interceptions with 12 and has only 11 touchdowns under Kelly’s system.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251107_BUS_522403_chip-kelly-1_b7d67310.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly of the Las Vegas Raiders" class="wp-image-522414"></figure><figcaption>Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly of the Las Vegas Raiders</figcaption></figure>



Now, the lack of offensive line is also worth noting and that will hamper any scheme. Still, being 30th in scoring is not good enough when you consider the talent on the skill positions.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/raiders-make-major-admission-after-trading-jakobi-meyers-to-jaguars"></div>


<h2>Pete Carroll is definitely not happy with Kelly</h2>



Pete Carroll isn’t happy with the offense but this is not the first time that he criticizes Kelly’s work in public. Last time, he criticized the fact that the team didn’t run the ball more. Now after 25 rushing attempts, the criticism goes to the lack of scoring.



The team must adjust heavily but it’s tough to see this season. The Raiders traded away Jakobi Meyers, arguably their best receiver, and now their receiving corp is not great. They brought veteran Tyler Lockett to replace Meyers, but his best years are past him. Also, rookies Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr. have been underwhelming.
