<p>The season didn’t start off well for the <strong>Chicago Bears</strong>, as they dropped their first two games. Even so, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a></strong> has managed to lead his teammates to a current 9–3 record, and after their win over the Eagles, they’re dreaming of taking full control of the NFC North.</p>



<p>But where does the key to this Windy City success truly lie? According to the quarterback himself, <strong>staying focused on their own game and making a strong statement week after week</strong> is what has carried them this far — and what they plan to keep doing through the rest of the season.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>Every single game that we play is to make a statement</strong>. And that’s, just another game for us. Focus on being 1-0 each week,”</em> Williams said via <em>nbcsports.com. “We keep doing that, we keep focusing on what’s inside, the noise inside the building — the statements and all of that, that’s more of the outside noise. </em></p>



<p>“<em>The stuff for y’all to talk about, the analysts and whoever to talk about. <strong>We’ll keep focusing on ourselves</strong>.”</em> It’s clear that if they keep playing at this level, the Bears will become the kind of team few opponents will want to face in the postseason.</p>

<h2>Caleb Williams’ stellar season</h2>



<p>Caleb Williams has swiftly silenced any doubters, <strong>transforming the Chicago Bears into a must-watch team</strong>. After their crucial win against the Eagles, the quarterback’s stellar season statistics speak volumes. Williams boasts a 58.1% completion rate for 2,722 passing yards and 17 touchdowns through this season.</p>

<p>His ability to deliver in critical moments, highlighted by the game-winning heroics against Philadelphia, demonstrates rare poise. Williams isn’t just a promising QB; he is the immediate difference-maker who has placed the Bears firmly in the playoff conversation.</p>



<h2>What’s next for the Bears?</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago Bears</a> <strong>now face their sternest test with a grueling three-game stretch</strong> that will define their playoff aspirations. The road begins with a crucial trip to Lambeau Field to face the Packers, a historic and high-stakes division rivalry. </p>



<p>Following this, they host a physical Browns defense before the rematch with the Packers at home. This gauntlet of games will challenge their young core, but if Williams and the Bears can navigate these tough opponents, <strong>their status as a legitimate post-season threat will be undeniable.</strong></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit Lions</a></strong> got hit with awful news that will really harm them for the rest of the season. They were expecting to get team legend Frank Ragnow back as he was willing to unretire. However, bad news struck regarding the offensive lineman.</p>



<p>When performing a medical,<strong> it was revealed that Ragnow was dealing with a Grade 3 hamstring strain</strong>, which would sideline him for the rest of the season, making his return impossible. <strong>After failing the physical, he will stay retired</strong>.</p>



<p>The Lions announced this via their socials and ended the post by <strong>saying that Ragnow is “<em>forever a Lion</em></strong>.” However, this still means that their offensive line woes won’t be solved.</p>



<h2>Ragnow can make a push for NFL immortality</h2>



<p>Ragnow played seven seasons in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> but he was elite every single year. <strong>In fact, he has four Pro Bowl selections in his short career</strong>. He was second-team All Pro four times as well. Ragnow is only 29 years old, but the fact that he is sorely missed could add to his Hall of Fame case.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/29170636/frank-ragnow-1920x1080.webp" alt="Frank Ragnow #77 of the Detroit Lions" class="wp-image-536343"></figure></div><figcaption>Frank Ragnow #77 of the Detroit Lions</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Ragnow played left guard before transitioning to center, where he was a perennial top three center in the league. </strong>For the Lions, Ragnow was the perfect replacement for the injured Graham Glasgow. Now, Michael Niese will keep his spot, but he has been a weak link in the trenches.</p>

<h2>The Lions need a perfect run to go to the playoffs</h2>



<p><strong>The NFL Playoffs are looking far-fetched for the Lions</strong>. The Lions are 7-5 and if the season ended today, they would be out of the postseason. The remaining schedule is what they need to nail, apart from bad results of other teams, to go to the playoffs.</p>



<p>The Lions’ schedule is the next one:</p>



<ul><li>Week 14: vs Cowboys</li><li>Week 15: at Los Angeles (Rams)</li><li>Week 16: vs Steelers</li><li>Week 17: at Minnesota</li><li>Week 18: at Chicago</li></ul>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Bears</a></strong> are one of the most surprising teams in the <strong>NFL</strong> this season. After a 9-3 start, the team just keeps causing upset after upset. After arguably their biggest win of the season and another <strong>Ben Johnson</strong> coaching clinic, quarterback <strong>Caleb Williams</strong> says the team is not even close to their ceiling.</p>



<p>In fact, after beating the Eagles in Black Friday, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Williams</a> said, <em>“we can do something special. Something special for Chicago. … That’s why I get up every day. <strong>We haven’t hit our pinnacle yet</strong> in the sense of a team and execution on offense and we’re still winning these games, so that’s really important. <strong>That’s why I’m extremely excited.</strong>“</em></p>



<p>The Bears have won six one-score games but by beating the Eagles handily by two possessions, <strong>Chicago beat the “<em>fraud</em>” allegations</strong>. Now, everyone is on notice and according to Williams, the best is yet to come.</p>



<h2>Ben Johnson is installing a great culture</h2>



<p>When <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ben Johnson</a> was hired, there were two schools of thought. One, Ben Johnson was going to live up to his ‘<em>offensive genius</em>‘ status. <strong>The other is that he was going to get fraud-checked</strong>. However, even the most positive Bears fans should be in awe because Ben Johnson not only has reestructured the offense, but the whole team. <strong>The Bears were used to lose games. Now, they are getting used to win them.</strong></p>

<p>Jerry Jones revealed during an interview with 105.3 The Fan that before trading <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons">Micah Parsons</a></strong> to the Green Bay Packers, his idea was to send the star pass rusher to the Jets in order to acquire Quinnen Williams.</p>



<p><em>“I actually tried to trade for Quinnen Williams. I tried to get the Jets in training camp. Period. I wanted a one (first round pick) and Parsons for Williams. I thought that much of Williams and he’s showing you what he can do for a defense.”</em></p>



<p>That move couldn’t be completed, but when the trade deadline arrived, Jones finally landed Williams and also Logan Wilson. From that moment on, everything changed for the Cowboys, and in consecutive weeks they defeated the teams that played in the last <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong>: the Eagles and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong>.</p>



<h2>Who won the Micah Parsons’ trade?</h2>



<p>The Micah Parsons trade has been a win-win for the Cowboys and the Packers. Dallas used those picks and the salary-cap space to acquire players like Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson, which has suddenly positioned them as one of the best teams in the NFC.</p>

<p>On the other side, Parsons has had a great season with the Packers, who are also Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. Because of that, Jones said that in the Cowboys’ case, Micah was a star, but they needed several pieces to rebuild the defense. By the way, in his response, Jones hinted that the plan is to give George Pickens a contract extension.</p>



<p><em>“Micah is a great player. We couldn’t pay him plus keep Pickens and keep players that you want to keep in the future. Micah is very impactful, but we really hadn’t won with Micah. Not because of Micah. We just hadn’t won because they were able to work around us having Micah. They ran right at him or they basically threw the ball quicker. Those are simplistic things. And there was no question that if we could replace him with four or five top players, Pickens type players, that was all in the thinking with Micah Parsons.”</em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a></strong> has earned, with his performances, a real opportunity to be the starting quarterback of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a></strong> in the near future. According to a report by Adam Schefter, head coach Kevin Stefanski has decided that if the team keeps winning, Shedeur will remain as QB1 despite the recovery of Dillon Gabriel.</p>



<p><em>“Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders played well enough in his first NFL start last Sunday that he made Cleveland’s decision to start him again an easy one. Sanders now has the opportunity not only to start again Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers but also to play well enough to continue earning starts for the rest of this season. The Browns are open to giving Sanders an extended look for the rest of this season, just as fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel got in the first half of this season, sources told ESPN. But much of that decision will be dictated by how Sanders plays, starting Sunday.”</em></p>



<p>Sanders suffered a very hard blow last April when he fell to the fifth round of the draft. Several reports pointed to interest from teams such as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> or the New York Giants, but the former Colorado star dropped dramatically down the board. As the months went by, after being selected by Cleveland, he moved up the depth chart to his current position as the starter.</p>



<h2>Will Browns release Shedeur Sanders?</h2>



<p>No. The Browns have no intention of releasing Shedeur Sanders after he showed in training camp, preseason, and in his debut against the Raiders that he has potential as an NFL quarterback. For now, the rumors about a possible departure are over.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="SEO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/shedeur-sanders-sends-clear-message-on-kevin-stefanski-allegedly-sabotaging-him-as-browns-starting-quarterback" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20251127_BUS_534879_shedeursanders.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Shedeur Sanders is the new Browns starting quarterback, but a reporter tried to remind him of the controversial rumors pointing to a bad relationship between head coach Kevin Stefanski and the rookie player.

<p>Schefter mentioned that the outlook has changed drastically. Now, in something nobody would have predicted a few months ago, this is Shedeur Sanders’ job to lose.</p>



<p><em>“This is the opportunity in front of Sanders. The Browns are open to playing him now, but they also are not rushing to any judgments.

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> quarterback <strong>Drake Maye </strong>has been on the receiving end of criticism in recent weeks. The second-year playmaker is having success amid a 10-2 season with the AFC East franchise.</p>



<p>Maye, however, has received his fair share of criticism. After Cam Newton called his team “fool’s gold,” New York Giants defender <strong>Brian Burns </strong>criticized Maye by saying he doesn’t feel the pressure sometimes, calling the former North Carolina star “too poised.”</p>



<p>“<strong><em>He does seem to be poised, maybe a little bit too poised,</em></strong>” Burns said of Maye. “<em>At times, he’s so caught up in making the right play or getting so caught up in his routes downfield, he just forgets about somewhat of who’s rushing him.”</em></p>



<h2>Drake Maye responds to Brian Burns</h2>



<p>On Wednesday, Maye <strong>was asked about Burns’ comments. </strong>He disagreed with the notion, saying that he pays attention to everything around him.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/15181504/QB-Drake-Maye-of-the-New-England-Patriots-2025-1920x1080.webp" alt="QB Drake Maye of the New England Patriots (2025)" class="wp-image-527493"></figure></div><figcaption>QB Drake Maye of the New England Patriots (2025)</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“Shoot, I’m not 100 percent [sure] what that really means,”</em></strong> Maye said<em>. “I try to keep my eyes down the field while feeling pressure, I think that’s part of playing the position… I know he’s a great player, and he’s had a great year, so (I’ll) just try to have feel of where he’s at.”</em></p>



<p>The Patriots <strong>will face the Giants on Monday, </strong>hoping to extend their winning streak to 11 games. Fans could see the first-ever Maye-Jaxson Dart duel, but the Giants’ quarterback’s status for Monday isn’t clear.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Maye and Co. are set to make another statement after beating the<strong> Cincinnati Bengals </strong>in Week 12.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots </a>are one of the biggest stories of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. They boast the league-best record with <strong>10 wins and just two losses.</strong></p>



<p>Second-year quarterback Drake Maye has led the team to a terrific record, but many doubt that they can turn it up when the playoffs arrive. Maye has gone 477 of 693 for 3,130 yards and 21 touchdowns with six interceptions.</p>



<p>Maye has benefited from playing for a coach like Mike Vrabel, who has made a strong impact on the team. The Patriots won just four games last season, and now, they are the No. 1 seed in the conference. Vrabel has played a key role in that turnaround, with <strong>his on- and off-field lessons.</strong></p>



<h2>Mike Vrabel wants Patriots to help themselves accountable</h2>



<p>During his weekly conference on Wednesday, Vrabel discussed a key element he wants to instill in his players. The<strong> former Tennessee Titans coach</strong> wants his pupils to be able to hold themselves accountable.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/05141450/mike-vrabel-2-1920x1080.webp" alt="Mike Vrabel" class="wp-image-521545" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure></div><figcaption>Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots.</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<strong><em>I think that that’s what we’ve always tried to build — the ability to have and hold people accountable, hold each other accountable,</em></strong>” Vrabel said. “<em>Not in a negative way but in a positive way to help themselves and to help the team. “Our guys are certainly impactful players that have to be accounted for every play, they rotate them through there pretty good. There’s a lot of juice there, a lot of disruption.”</em></p>



<p>The Patriots will face the <strong>New York Giants</strong> on Monday, hoping to secure the 11th win of the season against a team that can make life hard for the Patriots.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Tennessee Titans </a>continue to struggle in the 2025 NFL season, but they have shown a better face in recent games. Tennessee is one of those teams that play well for three quarters<strong> but then collapse when things matter the most.</strong></p>



<p><strong>Cam Ward </strong>had one of his best performances of the season against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. The rookie quarterback went 28 of 42 for 256 yards and one touchdown in the 30-24 loss to the NFC West franchise. He connected with several receivers, mainly Gunnar Helm (51 yards on six receptions) and Chimere Dike (44 yards and one touchdown on five receptions).</p>



<p>After<strong> Calvin Ridley </strong>suffered a season-ending injury, the Titans turned to other options to replace the veteran wide receiver. Elic Ayomanor suffered another injury that helped a rookie find his way to the lineup.</p>

<p>With Ridley and Ayomanor out, rookie <strong>Xavier Restrepo </strong>made his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> debut. He was targeted six times against the Seahawks, posting two receptions for 26 yards. Restrepo showed off his confidence on Wednesday, giving a positive grade to his performance.</p>

<p><strong><em>“I felt like I played very confident,</em></strong>” Restrepo told reporters. <em>“I obviously left some plays out there that I’d want to get back, but for the most part I thought I blocked great, gave great effort, and caught the ball when it hit me.”</em></p>



<p>He touched on his relationship with Ward, explaining that they have a deep bond.</p>



<p>“<strong><em>Me and Cam have a relationship where we demand and expect a lot out of each other,</em></strong>” Restrepo continued. “<em>Between me and him, we have a bond that is unbreakable.”</em></p>

<p>The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Seattle Seahawks</a> remain one of the most intriguing stories in the 2025 NFL season. The <strong>NFC West</strong> franchise turned things around with Sam Darnold as its franchise quarterback, but they appear to be one step behind the Los Angeles Rams, the division leaders.</p>



<p>Darnold picked up right where he left off, going <strong>207 of 298 for 2,785 yards and 19 touchdowns with 10 interceptions.</strong> The former No. 2 overall pick confirmed that last season wasn’t a fluke, and he’s more than capable of leading a team to the playoffs.</p>



<p>At 8-3, the Seahawks are in the race to win the division, but the Rams and the San Francisco 49ers <strong>pose a serious threat to Seattle.</strong></p>



<h2>Seahawks named No. 1 wild card candidates in the NFL</h2>



<p>Three years since they last made it to the playoffs and five since they won the division title, the Seahawks are poised to return to the big party. Garrett Podell of CBS Sports sees Seattle as the<strong> best wild-card contender in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl"> NFL</a>.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/06114630/sam-darnold-4-1920x1080.webp" alt="Sam Darnold #14 of the Seattle Seahawks." class="wp-image-504099" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure></div><figcaption>Sam Darnold #14 of the Seattle Seahawks.</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<em>The Seattle Seahawks joined the ranks of wild card squads entering Week 12 after their narrow 21-19 road defeat at the Los Angeles Rams, which ended on a 61-yard missed field goal. <strong>However, the Seahawks will face the Rams again in Week 16. Depending on how that game and the next few weeks go, Seattle could certainly regain first place in the NFC West,”</strong> </em>the post read.</p>



<p>The Seahawks can still <strong>aspire to win the division</strong> and the conference altogether, but the competition is fierce.</p>

<p>The Carolina Panthers couldn’t get things going against the <strong>San Francisco 49ers</strong> on Monday. They lost 20-9 against the NFC West franchise at Levi’s Stadium, dropping to 6-6 and missing out on a big chance to become the leaders of the NFC South division.</p>



<p>Quarterback <strong>Bryce Young</strong> went 18 of 29 for 169 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions. Running back Rico Dowdle failed to make an impact, carrying the ball six times for 38 yards. Dowdle tweeted a confused emoji to express his disappointment with the development of the game.</p>



<p>Dowdle’s social media action drew a lot of attention, with people wondering if that could result in <strong>a big issue for the Panthers</strong>. The former Dallas Cowboys player revealed Dave Canales took ownership for not relying on the running game during the 49ers game, but that wasn’t the end of the conversation.</p>



<h2>Bryce Young reacts to Rico Dowdle’s emoji</h2>



<p>Young shared his thoughts on <strong>Dowdle’s social media activity,</strong> saying that everybody on the team is focused on the same goal and they are working to achieve it.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/25142030/rico-dowdle-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Rico Dowdle #5 of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-515259" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure></div><figcaption>Rico Dowdle #5 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<strong><em>Yeah, [the conversation] wasn’t about that specifically. Rico is competitive and obviously wants to win,</em></strong>” Young said. “<em>We always want to win. We didn’t get that done. We all have a competitive spirit. We talked about the game and the game plan, and stuff like that is in-house. We don’t discuss that on social media, so that’ll be our focus.”</em></p>



<p>The Panthers still have chances to <strong>win the NFC South,</strong> but they need to win games with consistency. They will clash against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It’s no secret that the <strong>Philadelphia Eagles</strong> have massively struggled offensively this <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> season. <strong>Jalen Hurts</strong> and company are talented, but something is not clicking. After another underwhelming performance, questions arised but head coach <strong>Nick Sirianni</strong> is having none of it.</p>



<p>Speaking to Tim McManus of ESPN.com, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nick-sirianni" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sirianni</a> responded <em>“<strong>We’re not changing the playcaller, but we will evaluate everything</strong>. It’s never just about one person. You win as a team, you lose as a team and <strong>you try to evaluate everything, win, lose or draw, and get better from it</strong>.”</em> Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo hasn’t been able to have a consistent unit all year long, but Sirianni is not ready to pull the plug.</p>



<p>For instance, <strong>the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit Lions</a> made that decision earlier in the season</strong>. OC John Morton wasn’t having great success in an uber-talented offense, and head coach Dan Campbell took the playcalling duties off of him.</p>



<h2>Patullo’s credibility is taking a big hit</h2>



<p>If you aren’t able to get a poor offense going, chances are you won’t be blamed. But the Eagles are another story. This is an offense that has worked before, won a Super Bowl making points at will. <strong>Since Patullo took the offense, it’s dimmed heavily.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/02130858/Kevin-Patullo-650x365.webp" alt="Kevin Patullo" class="wp-image-483810" width="650" height="365" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px"></figure></div><figcaption>Kevin Patullo, the OC of the Eagles</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Patullo has worked with Sirianni since their time at the Colts</strong>. Sirianni was the OC while Patullo served as the Wide Receivers coach and pass game specialist. When Sirianni was appointed as the Eagles’ HC, Patullo became the pass game coordinator and after Kellen Moore left, he was promoted to OC. <strong>However, he hasn’t made <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> or any of the offensive players look their best</strong>.</p>

<h2>Is Nick Sirianni coordinator-dependent?</h2>



<p><strong>The narrative floating around Sirianni’s name is that he depends heavily on his coordinators</strong>. For instance, there are head coaches that call plays offensively or defensively. Others don’t call plays, but can change coordinators without the team missing a step, that hasn’t been the case with Sirianni.</p>



<p><strong>Siriani’s success has been with Shane Steichen and Kellen Moore as offensive coordinators</strong>. Both are so good, that they are NFL head coaches now. With Patullo and Brian Johnson, the team looked bad offensively and Sirianni couldn’t right the wrongs. Sticking with Patullo as playcaller might also be an indictment on Sirianni as a head coach.</p>

<p>Jerry Jones was heavily criticized when he decided that the best thing for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a></strong> was to move on from Micah Parsons. The controversial owner asked for patience and warned that everything would change once the trade deadline arrived.</p>



<p>Jones kept his word by acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson. In addition, Jerry knew the defense would also improve with the return of key players such as DeMarvion Overshown.</p>



<p>Now, the Cowboys are dreaming of reaching the playoffs thanks to an impressive offense led by <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a></strong> along with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. We can’t forget that, just as Jerry Jones was torn apart for letting Parsons go, the owner pulled off an unlikely and low-cost trade to bring in Pickens from the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong>.</p>



<h2>What is the chance of Cowboys making the playoffs?</h2>



<p>The Dallas Cowboys have an 18 percent chance of making the playoffs according to NFL analytics. The team has a 6-5-1 record and needs to win all their remaining games to have a real chance of reaching the postseason.</p>

<p>However, the big problem is that in the wild card race they need a lot of help from teams like the Seahawks, Packers, and Lions. For that reason, many believe their best option is the NFC East title, as they are a game and a half behind the Eagles.</p>



<p>In the case of ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Cowboys’ playoff chances are at 18.5 percent and 9.7 percent to win the division. In this scenario, if the Cowboys manage the feat of advancing, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said they can beat anyone at home or on the road.</p>

NFL News: Jerry Jones' Cowboys send strong warning to entire NFC after impressive wins against Eagles and Chiefs

<p>Week 13 of the <strong>NFL</strong> delivered one of its most thrilling matchups last Thursday, as the <strong>Dallas Cowboys</strong> held strong at home and defeated the <strong>Kansas City Chiefs</strong> on <strong>Thanksgiving</strong>. However, one small but significant detail did not go unnoticed within <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones">Jerry Jones</a></strong>’ franchise.</p>



<p>What is this whole storyline about? The timing of the game meant that the setting sun shone directly through the AT&amp;T Stadium roof, <strong>managing to bother and even blind several players—among them, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-pickens">George Pickens</a>.</strong></p>



<p>Once the game concluded, with the Cowboys finally defeating their opponent 31-28, the wide receiver spoke out about the situation, <strong>suggesting a solution while clarifying that it’s something that only Jerry Jones can address.</strong></p>



<p><em>“Yeah, I mean, definitely. <strong>But that’s up to Jerry.</strong> But definitely curtains would help,”</em> the former Steelers wide receiver said, via the <em>Associated Press. <strong>“I really couldn’t see the ball. It was the sun.”</strong></em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/29135618/george-pickens-2-1920x1080.webp" alt="George Pickens WR" class="wp-image-536124"></figure></div><figcaption>George Pickens #3 of the Dallas Cowboys.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Additionally, Pickens emphasized just how much this situation bothered him when trying to catch the ball: <em>“It definitely did. Some of the guys told me, too. That was my first time having that. Just coming on the crossing route, <strong>the sun was beating in my eyes, so I couldn’t see.</strong>”</em></p>



<h2>The luxurious AT&amp;T Stadium</h2>

<p>Known widely as <em>“Jerry World,”</em> <strong>the AT&amp;T Stadium stands as one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>’s most extravagant venues</strong>, defined by its sheer scale and audacious design. The crown jewel is undoubtedly the massive, high-definition jumbotron, which spans from 20-yard line to 20-yard line, making it one of the largest in the world. </p>



<p>However, the architectural eccentricities are not without fault; despite the retractable roof, <strong>the alignment of the glass panels frequently causes a notorious issue where direct sunlight streams onto the field</strong> during afternoon games, creating a disruptive glare that forces players to squint and adjust, a peculiar engineering headache for a state-of-the-art facility.</p>

<h2>The NFC East in their sights</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> are suddenly harboring genuine aspirations of seizing the NFC East crown after securing a thrilling 31-28 Thanksgiving victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. This major win, which marked their third consecutive, <strong>immediately followed the Philadelphia Eagles’ shocking upset loss to the Chicago Bears</strong>. </p>



<p>The Eagles’ recent stumble has dramatically tightened the divisional race, cutting their lead over the 6-5-1 Cowboys to just 1.5 games. With Dallas gaining momentum and Philadelphia trending in the wrong direction, the stage is now set for a tense final few weeks where the Cowboys have a legitimate, albeit narrow, path to overtake their rivals and claim the division title.</p>

<p>Despite having a solid 2024 NFL season, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Vikings</a></strong> <strong>let Sam Darnold go to the Seattle Seahawks</strong> earlier this year. Destiny has <strong>reunited them</strong> in Week 13, and the quarterback has <strong>warned his former team</strong> about their upcoming clash.</p>



<p>Last year, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sam-darnold" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sam Darnold</a></strong> took over as the Vikings starting quarterback due to <strong>JJ McCarthy’s</strong> injury. The <strong>veteran did an outstanding job</strong>, but Minnesota ultimately moved on from him, believing <strong>McCarthy was the franchise QB</strong> they had been looking for.</p>



<p>However, things have not gone as the Vikings expected. <strong>Sam Darnold</strong> is currently <strong>thriving </strong>with the Seahawks, while <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jj-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McCarthy</a></strong> is <strong>struggling</strong>, making many believe Minnesota made a huge mistake by letting him go.</p>



<h2>Sam Darnold gets real on his tenure with Vikings with slight warning to his former team</h2>



<p><strong>Week 13 is special for Sam Darnold</strong>. The veteran quarterback <strong>faces his former team</strong>, the one that <strong>helped him shine</strong> and <strong>revive his career</strong> after it seemed to be over.</p>



<p>While Darnold had a remarkable tenure with the Vikings, the NFC North club decided not to give him a lucrative contract. A few months after his departure, he <strong>will be reunited again with Minnesota</strong>, but this time as a rival.</p>



<p>Sam Darnold is a professional, so he understands how the league works. While he could not secure a new deal with the Vikings, he is <strong>grateful for his time with them</strong>, but he has also issued a <strong>warning</strong>: he is now <strong>focused on the Seahawks success</strong> and will do everything possible to get the win.</p>

<h2>What happens if the Seahawks defeat the Vikings in Week 13?</h2>



<p>A win in Week 13 is crucial for the Seahawks. The <strong>NFC West</strong> is currently led by the <strong>Los Angeles Rams</strong>, so Seattle is aiming for a wild card spot and a defeat would be terrible for their hopes.</p>



<p>If the Seahawks defeat the Vikings, they <strong>would maintain the 5th seed</strong> in the NFC, but they would also keep their chances of winning the NFC West alive, which is crucial to secure a top seed and potential home-field advantage in the wild card round.</p>

<p>This <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> season is already over for the <strong>New York Giants</strong> after becoming the first team eliminated from playoff contention. However, looking ahead, the return of <strong>Jaxson Dart</strong> to the field for Monday Night Football against the <strong>New England Patriots</strong> is far from insignificant.</p>



<p>The former Ole Miss quarterback <strong>missed the last few games due to being in concussion protocol</strong>, and many began to wonder whether <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart">Dart</a> would continue taking risks when running the ball or, instead, take the necessary precautions.</p>



<p><em>“When I look back at the game, there’s not a hit where I’m like, dang, <strong>I shouldn’t have taken that hit</strong>, to be honest,”</em> Dart said, via a <em>transcript from the team. “I felt like I was making smart decisions. <strong>I didn’t take really any unnecessary hits</strong>. </em></p>



<p><em>“That was just a situation where you kind of lose control of your body when you fumble it and you’re not really bracing for the ground. But obviously, moving forward, now <strong>I’ve got to be more available for this team, so, that’s obviously on the forefront of my mind going forward</strong>.”</em></p>
