The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints</a> were one of the teams with lowest expectations prior to the start of the NFL 2025 season. With an 0-4 start, it’s safe to say those expectations were correct. Now, as Spencer Rattler and company prepare to face the New York Giants, they could have one key name back to help them get that first win.



Head coach Kellen Moore said unicorn Taysom Hill is questionable to play. Hill, who can play as quarterback, running back, full back, tight end and wide receiver is clearly one of those impactful players that could help the Saints turn the tide.



If the team wants to activate him for the game vs. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Giants</a>, it will have to make a roster change. Hill started the season on the PUP list due to a knee injury that ended his 2024 season prematurely.



<h2>Hill could become the QB of the team if needed</h2>



Much has been said about how the Saints have the worst QB room in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Spencer Rattler is the starter, and he has an 0-10 record in the league. Tyler Shough is a rookie that wasn’t even able to beat Rattler to become the QB1. Hill could arguably be the best quarterback on the team. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502845_taysom-hill-1024x576_81b510db.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Taysom Hill #7 of the New Orleans Saints" class="wp-image-502856" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Taysom Hill #7 of the New Orleans Saints</figcaption></figure>



However, he could also be one of the best weapons for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spencer-rattler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rattler</a>, meaning he is just a very resourceful player. Whether he is put under center or lining up as a skill player it’s up to head coach Kellen Moore, but having him back is great news for a team that lacks offensive dinamite.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/saints-urged-to-sign-super-bowl-champion-wide-receiver"></div>


<h2>The Saints could be on the verge of a rebuild</h2>



If it all continues to go south for the Saints, it’s entirely possible that they could hit the reset button. Their salary cap issue for the Saints is absolutely awful. They are projected to lead the NFL in dead cap next year with $87 million. Hence, given the fact that you have no cap and no franchise-changing quarterback, why not pull the trigger?



The Saints have valuable trade assets like running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Chris Olave. This would help them to start rebuilding with more draft picks instead of being in NFL limbo for years to come.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-young">Bryce Young</a> and the Carolina Panthers prepare to face Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. However, arguably their best player won’t be suiting up after suffering an injury.



Ian Rapoport of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network reported that running back Chuba Hubbard is dealing with a calf injury and is expected to miss Sunday’s game vs. Tagovailoa’s Dolphins. Hubbard is a key component on this offense as he is a workhorse. Scripts don’t matter against Hubbard since he always gets all of his snaps regardless.



It seems like Hubbard’s absence won’t be for this week only, as it seems the calf injury is worse than initially thought and could sideline him for longer. With this, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Panthers</a> are forced to go with a backup plan, but that backup plan is not that bad.



<h2>Rico Dowdle season is upon us</h2>



During the offseason, the Panthers signed Rico Dowdle to be Hubbard’s backup. Some even expected a committee between both, but he’s played only 35% of the snaps. However, Dowdle had more than a 1,000 rushing yards last season with the Cowboys. He is by no means a scrub.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502755_rico-dowdle-1024x576_19c7a775.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Rico Dowdle #5 of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-502820" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Rico Dowdle #5 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



Dowdle will now have the chance to prove to head coach Dave Canales that he deserves more snaps. To be able to run the football is key for this team as Bryce Young is not a quarterback you want throwing 40 times a game.


 


<h2>The Panthers have a serious QB problem</h2>



Carolina has a huge issue on quarterback. Bryce Young was the number one pick but he doesn’t play like one. He has too many inconsistencies. One day he will win you the game, the next week he will cost you the game. The team can’t rely on him.



Young is completing 60.4% of his passes for 753 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. However, three of those touchdowns came in Week 2. The other alternative is giving up on Young and trusting NFL veteran Andy Dalton, which is not the greatest backup at this point in his career.

The outlook for the Baltimore Ravens heading into their game against the Houston Texans takes a major hit, as star quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamar Jackson</a> has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s matchup due to a hamstring injury.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ravens</a> are in desperate need of wins after falling to a 1-3 record following their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson had missed practice all week because of the muscle issue, which led to speculation about his availability.



Baltimore ultimately confirmed that Jackson will not take the field and that Cooper Rush will step in as the starter. His absence raises a key question: when was the last time the Ravens took the field without their star quarterback?



<h2>When was the last time the Ravens played without Jackson as the starter?</h2>



The last time Lamar Jackson did not start a regular-season game for the Baltimore Ravens was in Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season (played in early January 2024), when the team had already secured its playoff spot and decided to rest him. Tyler Huntley started that game in his place.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502823_lamar-jackson-9-1024x576_82ff479a.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens" class="wp-image-466845" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Lamar Jackson #8 of the Baltimore Ravens</figcaption></figure>



It has been 23 games since then that the Ravens have had Jackson as their starter, spanning from the end of the 2023 season through Week 4 of the 2025 campaign. Baltimore went 13-10 during that stretch, highlighted by the franchise winning the division last season.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-ravens-hc-john-harbaugh-sends-clear-message-to-cooper-rush-after-lamar-jacksons-injury"></div>


<h2>How long will Jackson be out?</h2>



Jackson’s absence could last between two and three weeks, which will force the Ravens to quickly reconfigure their offense to avoid falling further behind against a tough opposing defense. Rush’s performance in the game against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Texans</a> and the support of those around him will be key for Baltimore to stay competitive during this critical stage of the season.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dillon-gabriel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dillon Gabriel</a> is set to make his first NFL start this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in London. The controversy surrounding the starting quarterback position has placed Shedeur Sanders at the center of the discussion.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Flacco</a> began the season as the starter, but the franchise did not get the results it was hoping for and decided to bench him, opening the door for what many assumed would be Sanders’ opportunity. Ultimately, the Browns coaching staff decided to go with Gabriel.



Despite the stir caused by Kevin Stefanski’s decision regarding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanders</a> and Flacco, Gabriel has made it clear that his focus is on continually improving as a quarterback. His mindset is centered on his game and on letting circumstances play out naturally.



<h2>Gabriel breaks his silence</h2>



“It wasn’t ever about winning a job, it was just playing my best, playing at a high level. I think when you continually do that and you’re focused on your game, that will naturally come. The one time you’re thinking about, ‘I’ve got to go win something,’ you overreact or overdo rather than just serve in the moment, and that’s what I’ve been doing this whole time,” Gabriel said, according to NBC Sports.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502771_dillon-gabriel-3-1024x576_d07409d1.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Dillon Gabriel" class="wp-image-501303" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Dillon Gabriel #5 of the Cleveland Browns.</figcaption></figure>



Gabriel’s mentality has been reflected in his performance with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Browns</a> so far. In his two previous appearances this season, Gabriel completed 3 of 4 passes for 19 yards and a touchdown, showing his ability to make the most of the opportunities that come his way.

<h2>Myles Garrett praises Gabriel</h2>



Browns defensive coordinator Myles Garrett has praised Gabriel’s attitude during practices. “He runs the offense like it’s his,” highlighting the confidence and leadership Gabriel has shown since joining the team.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is going through a rough patch in only his second season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals’</a> wide receiver has failed to make an impact on the team after an inconsistent rookie season, in which he caught 62 passes on 116 targets for 885 yards and eight touchdowns.&nbsp;



This campaign hasn’t been much different, with Harrison catching 16 passes on 27 targets for 208 yards and two touchdowns. 



The former Ohio State star has been on the receiving end of criticism, but many are still confident that he can turn things around.&nbsp;



<h2>Former Cardinals coach details how he would work with Marvin Harrison Jr.&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



Todd Haley, former Cardinals offensive coordinator (2007-08), talked with insider Kyle Odegard to discuss Harrison’s tough start. Haley insisted that the coaches and the quarterback must keep Harrison in the loop and give him targets so he can increase his confidence.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="580" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502776_marvin-harrison-cardinals-1024x580_31e635ad.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=580" alt="Marvin Harrison Jr. is the best receiver on the Cardinals&apos; roster" class="wp-image-422445" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marvin Harrison Jr. #18 of the Arizona Cardinals </figcaption></figure>



“The quarterback generally wants to throw it to the guy he can trust, so (Harrison, Jr.) has to hold up his end of the bargain, but when guys know the ball is going to keep coming, it takes a little pressure off them and they start to gain confidence. If I’m game-planning, every play the first read would start with him. It’s not going to go to him every time, because the defense can dictate that, but (I’d try). (Trey) McBride is awesome. I think he’s great. But the ball is going to come to him naturally as things break down. That’s the way it works for tight ends. He’s going to get his 8, 10, 12 targets organically with how the game plays out,” he said.



Malik Nabers, for example, was targeted 35 times before he went down with a season-ending injury against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The Cardinals have other solid pass catchers, but if they count on Harrison to lead their receiving corps for many years, it’s time to put more attention on him.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> rookie quarterback Cam Ward backtracked from his “a**” comments after the team dropped to 0-4 against the Houston Texans. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick didn’t mince words when assessing his team’s performance, sharing a strong message about how they are playing.&nbsp;



“Everything, from interception to penalty to an incompletion by me, a bad ball. Once we passed the 50, we’re just not extending the drive. So we are keeping a book right now, we a**,” Ward said.



The Titans lost 26-0, with Ward going 10 of 26 for 108 yards against one interception and two sacks. The Titans racked up less than half the yards the Texans recorded (353 against 175) and made nearly 20 plays fewer than their opponents (65 to 46) in a game to forget.&nbsp;Ward wasn’t having any of that and let everybody know they needed to do better to at least show some fight in these games.&nbsp;



<h2>Cam Ward sends calm message ahead of Cardinals clash&nbsp;</h2>



Ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, Ward explained the reasoning behind his passionate rant. The former Florida quarterback insisted that he is trying to win.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502777_cam-ward-1024x576_bbcf5890.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans" class="wp-image-500153" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans</figcaption></figure>



“They’re going to blow it up no matter what, whether it’s good or bad for the Titans,” Ward said via team reporter Jim Wyatt. “So, we’re trying to win football games. That’s the biggest thing, and that’s what we’re going try to go do this week. I’m caring about my teammates and trying to win football games.”



The Titans are still winless, and the Cardinals aren’t an easy opponent. Ward and Co. will have to bring their best game to beat a team also eager to bounce back after suffering two consecutive losses.&nbsp;

A year after being traded to the Houston Texans and everything that happened afterward, Stefon Diggs will return to Highmark Stadium on Sunday night to clash with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.&nbsp;



The Patriots are 2-2 after four weeks, hoping to get over the .500 mark with a win in a game that seems personal for Diggs. The veteran wide receiver was traded from the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, becoming Allen’s go-to guy as soon as he landed in West New York.&nbsp;



Diggs left Buffalo with 445 catches for 5,372 yards and 37 touchdowns in 66 games with the Bills. He played at a solid level with the Texans before signing a three-year, $69 million deal with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patriots</a> in the postseason.&nbsp;



Allen is preparing for this duel and is looking forward to meeting with his former teammate in a divisional matchup.&nbsp;



<h2>Josh Allen previews Bills matchup against Stefon Diggs&nbsp;</h2>



ESPN Buffalo Bills reporter Alaina Getzenberg shared Allen’s words about facing Diggs for the first time with the Patriots on Wednesday, wondering if he felt some type of way about clashing with the Bills.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502778_Josh-Allen-with-Stefon-Diggs-former-Buffalo-Bills-teammates-1024x576_1977dca4.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Josh Allen with Stefon Diggs, former Buffalo Bills teammates" class="wp-image-120367" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Josh Allen with Stefon Diggs, former Buffalo Bills teammates</figcaption></figure>



“Played them last year, so I don’t think it’s anything super crazy,” Allen said. “But obviously, being back in Buffalo, who knows if the emotions are going to be heightened for him, or for the fans…We’re just gonna go out there and try to perform the best we can.”



In two games against the Bills, Diggs has recorded 10 catches for 99 yards. His most recent matchup happened in October 2024, when he caught six passes for 82 yards with the Texans.&nbsp;

Bryce Young’s time in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina </a>might be coming to an end if the team continues to struggle to win games. The former No. 1 overall pick showed that he could be a capable quarterback last season, overcoming tough moments, including being benched in favor of Andy Dalton early in the campaign.



The Alabama product went 234 of 384 for 2,403 yards and 15 touchdowns against nine interceptions. This season, he’s gone 87 of 144 for 753 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions.



The Panthers enter the Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins with a 1-3 record, and people are already wondering how long they will wait for Young and coach Dave Canales to turn things around.



<h2>The next two weeks might be crucial for Bryce Young’s future in Carolina</h2>



In a recent edition of All Dolphins Podcast, Charlotte Observer columnist Scott Fowler talked about Young’s future with the Panthers. Fowler believes that the project could come to an end if Young fails to beat the Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys in the next two matchups.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502775_bryce-young-1024x576_55a90ebe.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Bryce Young" class="wp-image-419535" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panther</figcaption></figure>



“I mean, they’re not quite ready to give up on him or anything. but they just look around the league. He was picked No. 1 overall in 2023. They gave up a ton to move up from number 9 to number 1. So they gave up D.J. Moore, a wide receiver who’s still playing well with the Bears. They’ve had some good players here. I say they don’t have any star power. DJ Moore wasn’t like a superstar. Christian McCaffrey was, and they traded him several years ago. That was the face of the franchise for a while. 



“If Bryce had Christian McCaffrey in the backfield, it would look a lot different for sure. But yeah, they’re not quite ready to go completely south on Bryce. But I’d say they have two home games coming up, Dolphins and then Cowboys, and if they lose both of those like that last game, I mean, I think there’ll be some changes going on here,” he said.



The Panthers rank third in the NFC South division, only ahead of the New Orleans Saints. They have an intriguing team, but they have failed to deliver so far. Young’s days with the franchise could be numbered if he doesn’t improve.&nbsp;

Mac Jones continues to shine with the San Francisco 49ers, where he has looked like a legit threat to starting quarterback Brock Purdy. While Purdy has missed a couple of games due to injuries, Jones has taken advantage of every opportunity, leading the Niners to three wins with him under center.&nbsp;



The third win came against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. The 49ers needed overtime to beat Matthew Stafford and Co., with Jones playing at a high level again.&nbsp;



The fifth-year veteran went 33 of 49 for 342 yards and two touchdowns. He added four carries for 5 yards.&nbsp;



Jones found a partner in wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, who finished with 10 receptions for 142 yards. The 49ers are now the sole leaders of the NFC West division, Jones playing at a high level and making people wonder if Purdy’s job is in jeopardy.&nbsp;



<h2>Kendrick Bourne says Mac Jones is having fun in San Francisco&nbsp;</h2>



After a rocky tenure with the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> New England Patriots</a>, Jones served as Trevor Lawrence’s backup in Jacksonville. He has found himself in a good position under Kyle Shanahan, looking like the player he could never become in New England.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502779_Mac-Jones-QB-for-the-San-Francisco-49ers-1024x576_6478ec1b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Mac Jones, QB for the San Francisco 49ers" class="wp-image-502707" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Mac Jones, QB for the San Francisco 49ers</figcaption></figure>



In the wake of his good performance, Bourne praised Jones and said that he is having fun in San Francisco, contrary to what he felt in Foxborough under Bill Belichick.&nbsp;



“It’s just awesome to see him in this space,” Bourne said about Jones, per Nick Shook of the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL’s</a> website. “How I seen him in New England was a different world for him. So to see him now, with the peace he has, he’s playing free and having fun. I think it’s a big part of the game for him and it’s showing.”



Jones’ good performances could bring drama to the 49ers, but it remains to be seen if he’s given the keys to the car or Purdy retains his job.&nbsp;

Kyren Williams may have cost the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a> a win in Week 5. However, the running back is aware of the implications of his costly fumble and wants to amend his mistake.



Week 5 started on the wrong foot for the Rams. Even though they were regarded as favorites against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>, the visitors took home the win in overtime with a final score of 23-20.



The game could have ended differently, though. With just a minute left on the clock, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyren-williams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyren Williams</a> had a chance to score, but he fumbled at the one-yard line and couldn’t deliver the victory his team expected.



<h2>Kyren Williams gets real on his unfortunate mistakes vs. 49ers</h2>



While the Rams were favored against the 49ers in Week 5, fate had other plans. Los Angeles was unable to capitalize on home-field advantage and secure the win at SoFi Stadium.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mac-jones-reveals-kyle-shanahans-source-of-motivation-for-49ers-ot-win-vs-sean-mcvays-rams"></div>


In the final minutes of regulation, the Rams entered the 49ers’ red zone with a clear chance to score a touchdown. However, Kyren Williams fumbled at the one-yard line, sending the game into overtime.



In extra time, with the score tied 20-20, the Rams once again had the ball deep in 49ers territory. On a crucial 4th-and-1 play, Williams failed to pick up the necessary yard for a first down, sealing the victory for San Francisco.



Williams admitted his performance was far from his best, particularly with the fumble and the failed conversion. However, the running back promised that such mistakes won’t happen again.

“S—t sucks,” Kyren Williams said. “I don’t know. For me, I just got to hold onto the ball. I feel like I let the team down at the 1-yard line, not securing the one thing that matters and scoring the touchdown. So, for me, I put this all on me, honestly, and just knowing that I got to be better.”

The Rams will have a chance to avenge their loss in Week 10, when they visit Levi’s Stadium for their second clash of the season against their NFC West rivals.

Kyren Williams has surely circled that game on his calendar as an opportunity for redemption. However, with the 49ers expected to recover several key starters by then, the challenge could be even tougher for Los Angeles.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into a crucial Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks with uncertain news regarding their offense. On one hand, the team could get quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a> back after his recent physical issues, but on the other, they will lose one of their key pieces in the running game.



Mayfield returned to practice this week after missing Wednesday’s session, which had raised doubts about his availability for Sunday. The veteran quarterback has been a central figure in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay</a>’s strong offensive start, throwing eight touchdown passes in four games, and his potential return brings optimism to the locker room.



However, the coaching staff led by Todd Bowles will have to make adjustments in the backfield ahead of the matchup against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle</a>. The Buccaneers have relied on a balanced offensive approach this season, but that dynamic will take a significant hit.



<h2>Which key weapon won’t play against the Seahawks?</h2>



Running back Bucky Irving will miss Sunday’s game against the Seahawks due to a foot injury, according to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. There’s also a chance he could miss next week’s matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, complicating the team’s offensive rotation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502743_Tampa-Bay-Buccaneers-running-back-Bucky-Irving-1024x576_8a954da1.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-298345" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Bucky Irving of the Buccaneers</figcaption></figure>



In Irving’s absence, rookie Josh Williams will be activated for the first time this season as the third running back. His contribution will be crucial to support the offensive scheme, especially in short-yardage situations where Irving has excelled.

<h2>A challenge for the Bucs</h2>



Tampa Bay faces a tough test against a Seattle defense that has been solid against the run. How the offense manages to adapt without Irving, while hoping to have Mayfield back, could make the difference in the team’s chances to bounce back from their Week 4 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Whether you like it or not, sports betting is a very important part of sports now. However, usually is for fans to try and earn some money watching the teams they love, not for teams to use it as motivation. After the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> beat the Los Angeles Rams as nine-´point underdogs on Thursday Night Football, quarterback Mac Jones said the point spread was key for Kyle Shanahan to bring his A-game against Sean McVay.



When you think of motivational stuff for this game, you could think of the NFC West rivalry between 49ers and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rams</a>, or the coaching rivalry between Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay. However, Mac Jones said what fuel his head coach was another thing.



“Kyle [<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-shanahan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shanahan</a>] came up to me and he was pissed about it [the point spread],” Jones said during the press conference. “So he’s like, ‘Dude, I can’t believe they moved us to underdogs again or more.’ I am like, ‘I don’t know what that means really, but yeah, let’s go kill them.’ He was pissed about it. I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m pissed too.’” Safe to say Shanahan is not a fan of the line movement.



<h2>Shanahan vs. McVay is pure cinema</h2>



The overall record between Shanahan and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-mcvay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McVay</a> is 11-7 in favor of the Niners’ coach. However, this win ends an 0-3 streak for Shanahan. This is one of the best coaching rivalries in the whole NFL.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="886" height="394" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502722_shanahan-vs-mcvay_0aee58cf.webp&amp;width=886&amp;height=394" alt="Shanahan and McVay are rivals, not friends" class="wp-image-502734" sizes="(max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px"></figure><figcaption>Shanahan and McVay are rivals, not friends</figcaption></figure>



While Shanahan is ahead, McVay won the most important <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> game between both, an NFC Conference Final where the Rams triumphed and ended up winning the Super Bowl in 2021. This game could’ve easily went to the Niners but safety Jaquiski Tartt dropped an easy interception that could’ve ended the game.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/kyle-shanahan-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Where the Rams fraud checked?</h2>



The reason the 49ers were that big of an underdog was simple: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mac Jones</a> is a backup quarterback, and the Niners literally had only backups in the receiving corp. Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall, and tight end George Kittle are all injured. Hence, it was only natural to think the Rams, who had great momentum and are healthy, would beat the brakes off the 49ers.



However, self-inflicted wounds like a special teams’ malpractice, a goal-line fumble and ill-timed flags made the Rams lose this game. That, and the good game the 49ers played. However, this is not new. The Rams survived against the Colts and special teams also costed them the game vs. Eagles. It’s a team with lots of potential but with many holes on their game.

There’s a change in guard in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a>. After an abysmal start to the season, quarterback Joe Flacco got benched in favor of rookie Dillon Gabriel. However, Shedeur Sanders remains as QB3 of the team. One of the team’s stars has praised the new starting quarterback.



No voice is heavier on the Browns’ roster than defensive end’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/myles-garrett" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Myles Garrett</a>. He is by far and away the most impactful player on the team so when he speaks, everyone listens.



And he did mention something about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dillon-gabriel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gabriel</a>. During the press conference, he said, “I mean, he [Gabriel] just runs the offense like this is his offense, and that’s all you can ask for from any quarterback. He comes out, smile on his face, chest out, gives the call, and it looks like he’s been doing it for years — the way he manages the offense. So, I’m looking forward to him doing the same thing on Sunday.”



<h2>Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders is not making himself any favors</h2>



While the change between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Flacco</a> and Gabriel was taking place, Shedeur Sanders stirred the pot by answering questions in silence… sort of. You can take a look in the video below, he just mimics and answer while in complete silence. This only fuels the fire about Sanders’ immaturity and the fact that he is not ready to lead an NFL franchise.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders only pantomimed answers to questions about the QB change and his role as QB3. <a href="https://t.co/YmXjvj6YYc">pic.twitter.com/YmXjvj6YYc</a>— 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚛 𝙶𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗 (@Spencito_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Spencito_/status/1973419441921859716?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 1, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanders</a> is the QB3 and instead of making the “I’ll be ready when my number gets called” approach, he is out there creating distractions for a team who is 1-3 entering Week 5.

<h2>A tough debut awaits for Gabriel</h2>



The former Oregon Duck was picked in the third round of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft but let’s just say he will have to go way beyond a third-round expectation if he wants a win in his debut. The Browns traveled across the pond as they play the Vikings in London. Minnesota was already in Europe as they played in Dublin last week.



Not to mention, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vikings</a> have one of the fiercest defenses in the league. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores is very aggressive and loves to blitz. For a rookie quarterback, it’s not the best-case scenario to make a debut.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> are trying to go back to back and for that, they need to keep winning games. As Jalen Hurts and company prepares to face Bo Nix and a tough Denver Broncos defense, the team made the decision to not activate a key defensive player ahead of this game.



However, despite designating linebacker Nakobe Dean to return from the PUP list, the Eagles won’t be activating him for their Week 5 game vs. the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Broncos</a>. Dean is an explosive linebacker who got injured last season in the middle of his best season. Now, Philadelphia faces Bo Nix without him.



Dean played 15 games last season where he had one interception, four passes deflected, one forced fumble, two recovered, three sacks and 128 combined tackles. He was doing it all before a patellar tendon injury. While he started practicing with the team on Wednesday, he needs to get into football shape.



<h2>Dean’s starting spot is not guaranteed now</h2>



While Dean was establishing himself as a top linebacker in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, this injury might have cost him his starting gig. Now, Zack Baun is an All Pro linebacker, and rookie Jihaad Campbell is playing lights out too.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Eagles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Eagles</a> have designated LB Nakobe Dean to return from PUP. <a href="https://t.co/BRysV1EGNd">pic.twitter.com/BRysV1EGNd</a>— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href="https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1973394842785845655?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 1, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



Campbell and Dean are built very different. Campbell is 6’3″ and 235 lbs. Dean is 5’11” and 231 lbs. While Campbell is more of a towering presence, Dean is absolutely explosive. It’s two different profiles that the Eagles will have to balance.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nick-sirianni-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Having Dean, Campbell and Baun is a luxury</h2>



This is arguably the best linebacker corp in the NFL with a plethora of skills and depth. If Dean is able to fully come back on the level he was last season, the Eagles could easily have the best defense in the league.



Not only that, but the team has one of the best defensive coordinators in Vic Fangio. The Eagles’ mission is to get back to back Super Bowls, and with this defense, they could definitely be on the way to accomplish that while <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> keeps guiding the offense.

Andy Reid has made it clear that he knows how to maximize the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense during the 2025 NFL season. In addition to the leadership of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the head coach faces the challenge of managing the workload of veteran tight end <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Travis Kelce</a>.



It’s still uncertain what Kelce will decide regarding his future after this season. The 35-year-old tight end has a contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City</a> that includes a two-year extension signed in April 2024. After some doubts during the preseason, the team’s legendary offensive weapon wants to keep making headlines.



For now, Kelce remains a key figure. In the Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, he played about 66% of the offensive snaps, a number <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reid</a> described as “probably a good range.” However, the Chiefs’ head coach went further when discussing the present of his star player.



<h2>Reid talks about Kelce’s playing time</h2>



“He’s such a big part of it. Not only his effort, but the mentality he comes into these games with —he’s all in all the time. Then it’s my responsibility – he gets mad at me, but it’s my responsibility to make sure that we don’t get too many reps in there. That we give him at least a blow here and there. He’d play every play if he had his choice,” Reid said during a press conference.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502598_travis-kelce-5-1024x576_329061de.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Travis Kelce Tight End Kansas City Chiefs" class="wp-image-478965" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tight end Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs</figcaption></figure>



“I thought he really played well in both the run and pass game. He looked strong all the way through. He’s in great shape right now. That’s the important part. He came back, and he’d really trained hard and aggressive for this thing,” said Reid.

<h2>Kelce’s impact on the Chiefs</h2>



So far this season, Kelce has played in every game for the Chiefs and has recorded one touchdown on 15 receptions for 182 yards. His impact is steadily increasing in a year when the Missouri franchise aims to prove once again that it can extend its long-standing dominance as a league dynasty.
