Jerry Jones and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> are not happy with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens after the controversy that broke out in Las Vegas before the game against the Raiders. Surprisingly, head coach Brian Schottenheimer decided to bench both of them for the first offensive series as a disciplinary measure.



During an interview with 105.3 The Fan, Jones sent a clear message to Pickens and Lamb about what happened a few days ago. “I don’t have any problem with partying, but I do want to have everybody when we roll in there and we have the team meetings. The idea is this is a business trip. Let’s get down to business.”



The Cowboys had high expectations of winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> for the first time in three decades with an impressive offense featuring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a>, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens. However, the lack of consistency and numerous defensive problems have the team on the brink of elimination.



<h2>What happened with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in Las Vegas?</h2>



CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens did not follow the Cowboys’ internal rules during the trip to Las Vegas to face the Raiders. As a direct consequence, Brian Schottenheimer benched them for the first offensive series on Monday Night Football.


 

 


<h2>Why did Brian Schottenheimer bench George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb?</h2>



Brian Schottenheimer benched George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb as a disciplinary measure, and during another interview with 105.3 The Fan, Stephen Jones, the team’s executive vice president, gave more details about the controversial situation.

“He’s not going to play favorites with anybody. He felt very strongly. That was part of it. I think a lot of people thought they had to be together because they are great friends but, believe it or not, one was the night before leading into the morning and the other one was missing the buses. Hats off to Schotty for being consistent. Being authentic and being genuine doing the right thing by the team. They did what you would expect them to do. They went out and played one hell of a game. Maybe we should have sent the whole team to whatever they were doing.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a> are making internal moves right now. Sean McVay is having a hell of a season as the head coach and quarterback Matthew Stafford is having an MVP-caliber season. However, the defense needed some motivation and that’s what the team did.



Back in March, the Rams signed linebacker Nate Landman to a veteran minimum salary of $1.1 million. Not only did Landman earned a starting job, but he is playing at a Pro Bowl level. According to Ian Rapoport of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, the Rams gave Landman a three-year, $22.5 million contract with $15 million guaranteed.



Landman was an undrafted rookie out of Colorado that played under the minimum salary in Atlanta until last year. Curiously the only player in the NFL to be born in Zimbabwe, Landman will do in this contract alone, more than he has done in the entirety of his career.



<h2>Landman has become a staple on the Rams defense</h2>



At 27 years old, Landman is entering his prime. He has started all 10 games for the Rams this year, has four passes defended, 1.5 sacks, leads the NFL in forced fumbles (4) and leads the team with 91 tackles.



<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_20251122_BUS_531851_nate-landman_8ec3c42d.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Nate Landman #53 of the Los Angeles Rams" class="wp-image-531853"></figure><figcaption>Nate Landman #53 of the Los Angeles Rams</figcaption></figure>



Landman is another key part of this defense that also has Byron Young and Jared Verse as an elite pass rushing duo. In the secondary, they have four players with two interceptions and two with at least one. The Rams have the second-best scoring defense in the NFL.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bucs-baker-mayfield-opens-up-about-return-to-los-angeles-after-stint-with-the-rams"></div>


<h2>The Rams look like the best team in the NFC</h2>



The AFC is in quite a war to see which team is the best. The NFC has some debate, but it’s clear the Rams are atop of it. They are tied with the Eagles for the best record in the NFL with an 8-2 mark. However, the Rams just look more cohesive and well-rounded. The Eagles have problems on offense and it’s the defense the one winning them games. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-mcvay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean McVay</a> has done an incredible job.



As for the Rams, they are one of two teams who are in the top six on both scoring offense and defense. They are as well-rounded as a team can be and can win in many ways. They are the best statistical team all around. While Landman and company lock opposing offenses, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-stafford" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew Stafford</a> cooks opposig defenses.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> is finally beginning to get what he’s been seeking since arriving in the NFL: meaningful snaps. Kevin Stefanski has confirmed that the rookie signal-caller will start for the Cleveland Browns, and a former Super Bowl champion has now revealed his stance on the quarterback’s level of play.



Who are we talking about? None other than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/julian-edelman">Julian Edelman</a>, one of the players who helped build a legacy with the Patriots alongside Brady and Belichick, and someone who frequently weighs in on various situations unfolding around the league.



In this case, one of the most talented wide receivers of recent years—who lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy multiple times in New England—made it clear that Shedeur will continue to elevate his game week after week.



“I think the expectation is that Sanders will be better than last week,” he said on Friday during “The Herd”. “He’s playing a pretty bad team, but has a good defense in the Raiders. Maxx Crosby could ruin a guy’s day.”



<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_20251122_BUS_531852_shedeur-sanders-25_c49be30a.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Shedeur Sanders" class="wp-image-509213" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Shedeur Sanders #12 of the Cleveland Browns.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>A tough trip to Las Vegas</h2>



The Cleveland Browns face a critical challenge on the road this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders, but all eyes are on the man under center: rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who will be making his first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> start. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/browns-reveal-how-the-gameplan-changed-ahead-of-shedeur-sanders-starting-debut-vs-raiders"></div>


The matchup carries extra intrigue, as the Raiders were heavily linked to Sanders in the pre-draft process, with many analysts projecting him to land in Las Vegas before the Browns ultimately selected him in the fifth round. 



Now, in a twist of fate, the rookie will debut at Allegiant Stadium against the very team that was rumored to be his landing spot, setting the stage for a compelling, high-pressure battle where the Las Vegas defense will get a front-row seat to what they may have missed out on.



<h2>What’s next for the Browns?</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Browns</a> are staring down a brutal three-game slate. It begins this weekend with a high-stakes road game against the Las Vegas Raiders, followed by a tough home stand that features the NFC powerhouse San Francisco 49ers. 



The punishing sequence concludes with a home battle against the Tennessee Titans. Navigating these three drastically different opponents—an AFC foe on the road, an NFC championship contender, and another strong AFC opponent—will be crucial for the Browns to maintain their postseason aspirations heading into the final stretch of the season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> finally cleared the air regarding who is going to be their starting quarterback in Week 12 against the New England Patriots. Joe Burrow practiced all week but is he ready to roll?



According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Burrow</a> won’t be moved to the active roster yet, remaining on IR this week. Hence, Joe Flacco will be the starter against New England in Week 12.



However, all signs point to Burrow being back next week at Thanksgiving. The Bengals’ <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Playoffs hopes are hanging by a thread. If they can’t beat the Patriots, they’re almost eliminated from contention. Still, they won’t risk Burrow.



<h2>Flacco won’t have his best weapon</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Flacco</a> is not responsible for the bad Bengals season. As a matter of fact, he has kept the offense explosive. He has guided the Bengals to three 33+ point games in five of his outings. Flacco has 1,453 yards with 12 touchdowns and three interceptions with a 96.2 passer rating with the Bengals. Still, this will be a tough test given he won’t have Ja’Marr Chase, his best receiver, due to a suspension.



<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_20251122_BUS_531800_flacco-warmup-bengals_63bf3088.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Joe Flacco warms up before a game" class="wp-image-509641" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Joe Flacco was traded to the Bengals during the 2025 season.</figcaption></figure>



Chase spat on Steelers’ cornerback Jalen Ramsey and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> punished him by suspending him for this game. Without Chase, Tee Higgins should be getting plenty of looks. Still, much of the offensive playbook relies on Chase, so it will be a tough outing for the Bengals.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/joe-flacco-unveils-plans-for-his-career-amid-joe-burrows-imminent-return-to-the-bengals"></div>


<h2>The Bengals defense will suffer</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patriots</a> offer two big threats to the weak Bengals defense. First, MVP contender Drake Maye who is burning defenses left and right with his arm. Bengals are the 31st-ranked passing defense in the NFL.



The other big threat is rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson. He has 492 yards and five touchdowns in only 100 attempts. Also, Cincinnati has the worst-ranked rushing defense in the league. Hence, the Patriots have everything to score easily on the Bengals.

Mike Tomlin and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> could lose <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> for the rest of the season if they decide to let the quarterback play against the Chicago Bears. According to a report from Tom Pelissero, the risk they would be taking at Soldier Field is enormous.



“He has a small fracture in that left wrist. Right now, it’s not something that would prevent him from being able to play. You can protect it. The risk you have of Aaron Rodgers going on the field is if he takes the wrong type of hit and lands on that wrist, you can end up with something that’s a displaced fracture. Right now, he doesn’t need surgery, but then he might need surgery.”



If Rodgers insists on starting for the Steelers in Chicago, a single hit could end his aspirations of fighting for one last <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, and it might even force him to retire from football. There’s a lot at stake for the veteran.



<h2>Who will be Steelers starting quarterback against Bears?</h2>



Aaron Rodgers will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Chicago Bears in Week 12 if he receives medical clearance just a few hours before the game. Although the quarterback showed in several practices that he can throw, it’s still unclear how safe it is for his left wrist in the long term.


 

 


Pelissero mentioned that Rodgers wanted to return to the field last week for the second half of the game with the Bengals, but the doctors denied him permission. Now, considering what the Bears mean for his career, Aaron is asking for a chance.



“It might heal on its own right now. Then, if you displace it, it’s not gonna heal on its own. That’s the risk factor that the Steelers are dealing with. My understanding is he’s been pushing behind the scenes to play this week in Chicago. It’s gonna come down to a medical decision. If it’s up to Aaron Rodgers, he is 100 per cent starting on Sunday against the Bears. But there are other voices, including the doctors, who are well aware of the risk. There are times where teams have to protect players from themselves.”

If there’s one team in the NFL that’s truly the surprise this season, it’s the Carolina Panthers. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-young">Bryce Young</a>’s squad has endured turbulent years in the league, making their current record put them within striking distance of claiming the NFC South, with several games still to play.



Much of this growth in recent weeks has come from the offensive firepower of Dave Canales’ team, particularly with the ground contribution of Rico Dowdle. The running back has emerged as one of the most targeted players by the QB this season.



The former Cowboys player will become a free agent once this season concludes, leaving his future uncertain. In recent statements to the press, Dowdle said that this season is a kind of “audition” for him.



“Every week is an audition for me, being on a one-year contract,” Dowdle told reporters, per David Newton. “All 31 teams are always watching. So I wouldn’t say just this week in particular but I definitely know I’ve got to go out there and do my best.”



<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">Running back Rico Dowdle says every game is an audition for him since he’s on a one-year deal with the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panthers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Panthers</a>. <a href="https://t.co/8fZtk9MqKI">pic.twitter.com/8fZtk9MqKI</a>— David Newton (@DNewtonespn) <a href="https://twitter.com/DNewtonespn/status/1991970855593582831?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 21, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2>Dowdle’s influence on the Panthers’ offense</h2>



Running back Rico Dowdle has unexpectedly become the focal point of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers">Carolina Panthers</a>‘ offense this season, providing a much-needed jolt to the running game. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dave-canales-gets-real-on-the-importance-of-monday-night-football-duel-against-49ers"></div>


Through 11 games, the veteran back has amassed 833 rushing yards on 168 carries, averaging a strong 5.0 yards per attempt, and has scored five total touchdowns. 



His consistent production, which includes a massive 206-yard rushing performance in a breakout game, has solidified his role as the team’s primary ball-carrier, injecting an element of dynamism and reliability that the Panthers’ attack desperately needed.



<h2>Will Dowdle remain a Panther next season?</h2>



Dowdle is set to cash in this offseason, as his breakout performance has positioned him as one of the top unrestricted free agents at his position. After signing a one-year deal, Dowdle, who publicly stated he views every game as an “audition,” has attracted significant league-wide attention. 



While the Panthers would undoubtedly like to retain his dynamic running ability, the presence of other contracted backs like Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks (who is returning from injury) on the roster, combined with multiple teams reportedly interested in acquiring a starting-caliber back, makes his return to Carolina a major question mark.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> have missed wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk the whole season, but apparently, instead of keeping it peaceful, they did a $26 million move in the wideout’s contract that makes it all trend towards a divorce.



Michael Silver and Diana Russini of The Athletic reported that “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brandon-aiyuk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brandon Aiyuk</a>’s 2026 guarantees were voided by the 49ers.” This comes 15 months after signing a massive four-year, $120 million contract extension. As Silver puts it, “the two sides appear headed toward a stunning divorce.“



Aiyuk wanted a trade before getting the extension. After signing it, his career has gone downhill. He suffered an ACL tear, his recovery has taken way longer than expected and now, it seems like his future is elsewhere, but his big contract is now a problem, since not many teams will be willing to get it for a guy who has been inactive since October 2024. This move by the Niners is likely because a cut is imminent.



<h2>The 49ers certainly don’t miss Aiyuk </h2>



Without Aiyuk, the 49ers have found two proper wideouts that are very good. Jauan Jennings is a tall, reliable pass-catcher that will give an edge on contested catches. Jennings has 378 yards and three touchdowns in nine games this season, despite playing with fractured ribs for the first couple of months of the 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_20251122_BUS_531695_jauan-jennings-sf_d0160f4b.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Jauan Jennings #15 of the San Francisco 49ers." class="wp-image-424691" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Jauan Jennings #15 of the San Francisco 49ers.</figcaption></figure>



The other is second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall. He has 327yards in just five games. Pearsall is a more polished route-runner and a target in the middle of the field. Add the fact that tight end <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Kittle</a> is still there and Aiyuk is really not needed. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dave-canales-gets-real-on-the-importance-of-monday-night-football-duel-against-49ers"></div>


<h2>Aiyuk might get cut but still his future is cloudy</h2>



By voiding over $26 million due to Aiyuk’s “failure to fulfill his contractual obligations,” it makes it more feasible to cut Aiyuk. The 49ers will still have approximately $29.5 million in dead cap. But, this can be split over the next two years with a post-June 1 designation.



All in all, the fact that Aiyuk won’t file a grievance also signs to the wide receiver’s wish to leave. He knows that if he is cut, it will be easier for him to find suitors for his services.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> have a 6-4 record and hold first place in the AFC North. However, they are not favored to win the division title because Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are only one game behind.



For their part, the Chicago Bears are full of hope for the future with the arrival of Ben Johnson as head coach. The team has seven wins in its last eight games and has surprised everyone by leading the NFC North ahead of teams like the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers.



Additionally, the Week 12 game between the Steelers and Bears has a very special ingredient. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> returns to Soldier Field, the place where he wrote many great chapters with the Packers during his legendary career.



<h2>What happens if the Steelers lose against the Bears?</h2>



If the Steelers lose against the Bears in Week 12, Pittsburgh would drop to a 6-5 record, greatly complicating their path to the playoffs. The Ravens could catch them at the top of the AFC North and, with remaining games between both teams, Lamar Jackson would definitely have the edge.


 

 


Additionally, the problem for Mike Tomlin and the Steelers is that the road as a wild-card team looks like an uphill battle. A 6-5 record would put them behind teams like the Chargers, the Buffalo Bills, and the Jacksonville Jaguars in the playoff picture.



Considering how tight the wild-card race is, many experts have pointed out that the ideal scenario for Mike Tomlin is to win the division, since they control their chances to knock out the Ravens. Of course, a division title would also give them a home playoff game.

<h2>What happens if the Steelers beat the Bears?</h2>



If the Steelers beat the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh would maintain control of its destiny to win the AFC North with a 7-4 record. However, the schedule still brings a lot of difficulty with games against the Bills, Ravens, Dolphins, Lions, Browns, and a rematch with Baltimore in Week 18.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> will finally get rookie Shedeur Sanders a chance to start now that they play against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, it won’t be a normal debut for him, as it seems like the team has modified its usual gameplan to instead play into the quarterback’s playing style.



Usually, a team will have a defined playbook and the quarterback needs to execute. However, according to Cameron Wolfe of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, the Browns changed the gameplan to let Sanders “move the pocket a little bit more and use that play-making ability.”



Also, it’s been reported that head coach Kevin Stefanski and the Browns’ staff are helping <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanders</a> to get better arm angles and reads. Dillon Gabriel is more of a pocket passer while Sanders can move a bit more and throw on the run.



<h2>Still, Browns will likely disguise Sanders</h2>



Even if the team is focusing on get Sanders the best gameplan possible, Stefanski is not precisely fond of him. Hence the fact that he is only debuting due to Gabriel suffering a concussion. Also, Stefanski loves a good running game and everyone runs effectively against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a>, who allow more than 100 rushing yards per game.



<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_20251122_BUS_531636_quinshon-judkins_c9e1ab96.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Quinshon Judkins #10 of the Cleveland Browns" class="wp-image-531657"></figure><figcaption>Quinshon Judkins #10 of the Cleveland Browns</figcaption></figure>



Rookie running back Quinshon Judkins has 620 yards and five touchdowns this season. While he is only averaging 3.9 yards per attempt, Judkins has the ability to create some big plays. Also, he has 96 rush yards over expected according to Next Gen Stats.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-shedeur-sanders-proclaims-himself-next-browns-franchise-quarterback-with-clear-message-to-fans-and-kevin-stefanski"></div>


<h2>There’s no better opponent to debut against than the Raiders</h2>



Shedeur is not a great prospect yet, he has some huge flaws in his game. Still, if you are debuting, you want the best matchup possible to be able to shine and get some ego-boosting performance.



The Raiders are that. The team is 2-8 with the ninth-worst scoring defense in the NFL and allow a 95.8 passer rating. Yes, having edge rusher Maxx Crosby going at Sanders is a risk, but besides that, Shedeur Sanders should be able to have a decent-to-good performance.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> are trying to keep their playoff hopes alive after starting the season with a 5-5 record. They were considered <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contenders by many experts, but as the weeks have passed, Andy Reid’s team has struggled to get going, and consecutive losses to the Bills and Broncos have left them on the ropes.



Meanwhile, the Colts are one of the biggest surprises in the NFL. With an 8-2 record, Indianapolis controls the AFC South and is competing for home-field advantage with the Patriots and Broncos. Because of this, Shane Steichen is a strong candidate for Coach of the Year.



So, in one of the most anticipated games on the schedule, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the Chiefs cannot afford to slip if they hope to make another championship run. Read here to find out what happens if Kansas City loses or wins against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12.



<h2>What happens if the Chiefs lose to the Colts?</h2>



If the Chiefs lose to the Colts in Week 12, Kansas City will fall to a 5-6 record, something almost no one expected before the season began. Then, as the No. 9 seed in the AFC, Kansas City would have to practically win all of their remaining games to keep their playoff hopes alive.


 

 


In case the Colts beat the Chiefs, the rest of the schedule would be an uphill battle. The remaining opponents for Patrick Mahomes’ team are the Cowboys, Texans, Chargers, Titans, Broncos, and Raiders.



The path to a very complicated Super Bowl run for Kansas City has to start at Arrowhead Stadium, and they would probably need an 11-6 record to feel safe. If the Chiefs shock the NFL with an impressive streak, anything could be possible in the playoffs.

If the Chiefs win over the Colts, they would reach a 6-5 record and control their own destiny to make the playoffs. Kansas City would remain three games behind the Broncos in the AFC West, but the priority is securing a wild-card spot.



<h2>Are the Chiefs eliminated from playoffs with loss to the Colts?</h2>



The Chiefs would not be eliminated from the playoffs if they lose to the Colts, but according to NFL analytics, they would only have a 35% chance of making the postseason if they fall to a 5-6 record.



On the other hand, if they beat Indianapolis, Andy Reid’s team would have a 65% chance of making the playoffs and would remain in the race for a wild-card spot against teams like the Bills, Chargers, Jaguars, and Texans.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/devon-achane">De’Von Achane</a> is having a standout individual season for Miami, 900 rushing yards on 164 attempts, five rushing touchdowns, and four receiving scores in 11 starts , but he made it clear the Dolphins’ 4–7 record doesn’t tell the full story. The young running back believes their issues come from within rather than opponents simply overpowering them.



Achane delivered a striking assessment of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Miami</a>’s losses, saying, “Out of 7 of those losses, two of those games we actually got beat… them other games? It was us making mistakes.” His message highlights both his confidence in the team’s talent and his frustration with the self-inflicted errors that have derailed their season.



Achane’s comments were made during an episode of “The Set with Terron Armstead,” a podcast hosted by the former player that has served as a platform to reveal important insights, not only about the Dolphins.



<h2>The Dolphins’ difficult situation</h2>



It’s true the Dolphins are struggling with a 4-7 record, but they did manage to head into their bye week on a winning streak after victories at home against the Bills and then in Spain against the Commanders. They now must return and try to extend that streak at home against the Saints, a team that is also having a tough year with a 2-8 record.

Achane is starting to show what he can truly contribute to the team’s offensive line. Furthermore, during the podcast with Armstead, he revealed that part of his breakout season is inspired by Christian McCaffrey: “That’s who I liked for real when I was coming into the league.”



<h2>McDaniel’s hope with the Dolphins</h2>



A few days ago, Coach Mike McDaniel spoke about the Dolphins’ recent success after winning three of four games: “I’m just very impressed but not surprised. It matches a belief that I’ve had the entire time with these guys that they are made of the right material to succeed in this league.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/breece-hall">Breece Hall</a> didn’t hold back after knowing a reporter repeatedly press Justin Fields for a reaction at the locker. Fields made it clear he didn’t have time to talk, saying he needed to get a massage, but the reporter continued pushing for comment.



Hall fired off a pointed message on social media, calling out the behavior directly. “Pathetic move by you tbh. Wish some of yall would grow up and stop acting like little kids nagging somebody till they get mad lol,” he wrote in response to reporter Brian Costello.



“Approached Justin Fields at his locker. He said he was going to get a massage and did not have time to talk. I asked his reaction to move. ‘there’s no reaction. That’s life. S— happens,‘” wrote Costello, the reporter to whom Hall sent the harsh reply.



<h2>Jets fans applaud Hall’s reaction</h2>



Jets fans reacted positively to Hall’s defense of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a>. “Notice how Justin fields teammates ALWAYS have his back. Non-ball knowers can question his qb ability all they want but his character and leadership ability is top notch,” wrote Hector (@jpajamer) about Hall’s actions and how other teammates have previously supported Fields.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="694" height="627" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531592_image-7_7e1f666f.webp&amp;width=694&amp;height=627" alt="" class="wp-image-531594"></figure></figure>



Other fans also complained about the methods some reporters use to get a comment or reaction from players, calling them exaggerated and arguing they shouldn’t pressure players so intensely just to get a story for their own benefit.

“Some reporters are so slimy. They are protected by the 1st amendment so they think they can say anything. Not realizing they are talking to humans. They know exactly what they are doing in the world of clicks,” wrote Anthony Speziale (@a86spez) on X.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> is trying to keep the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> alive during the 2025 season, but to his surprise, after several weeks, he was faced with a question about his possible retirement and when that decision would come.



“I think, you know, seeing my brother go through it and just how the league works, the season kind of restarts in April. I want to give the Chiefs a good opportunity, whether I come back or not, or whether they want me back or not. It’s one of those things where I’d like to make that decision before they’ve got to get draft picks and free agency opens so that it gives them an opportunity to go out there and fill the roster appropriately. So, all that will be at the end of the season. I won’t be thinking about it until then.”



Many were hoping Kelce would have a dream send-off, going out on top by winning another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>, but, with a 5-5 record, the Chiefs are out of the playoff picture, and it’s almost impossible for them to catch the Denver Broncos in the fight for the AFC West.



<h2>Is Travis Kelce retiring?</h2>



No. Travis Kelce is not retiring from football yet. The legendary tight end is in the final year of his contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, so, out of respect for the team, he wants to make a decision before the free agency period begins.


 

 


In a very interesting detail, Kelce acknowledged that if he returns for the 2026 season, announcing it as his last, he would not want it to be some kind of farewell tour. “That’s not me. I’ll like to take it day by day, year by year, and just evaluate it like that.”



It’s important to remember that Travis Kelce got engaged to Taylor Swift a few months ago, and that could influence whether he retires from football to focus entirely on his personal life and other projects, such as the podcast New Heights with his brother Jason.

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers"> Carolina Panthers </a>prepare to visit the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. After a bounce-back win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11, the Panthers got closer to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South division standings.



A Buccaneers loss and a Panthers win in Week 12 would put the Panthers atop the standings ahead of another difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13.



Head coach Dave Canales, who has led the team to a 6-5 record, is well aware of the importance of Monday’s game and has tried to convince his players that this will be a big game.



<h2>Dave Canales on the importance of playing in primetime again</h2>



In a conversation with “Panthers Talk,” Canales reflected on what playing in primetime would mean for his team. The coach revealed that he’s trying to fire up some players by telling them how special those types of games are.



<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_20251122_BUS_531468_Dave-The-Canal-Canales_4679eb31.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Head coach Dave Canales of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-481054" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Dave Canales of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



“It’s an unbelievable championship opportunity. It’s exactly the type of opportunity that t’s me up,” Canales said. “It’s so easy to sell to the team. You don’t have to get guys fired up for these types of games, but I do. It is my job to point to these games and say, ‘This is a championship moment. It’s going to feel right. Those of you who haven’t been to an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> playoffs game, there’s more cameras. It’s under the light sometimes, it’s a special environment.’ We’re playing against a playoff-caliber team in the Niners, and everything is just right for this opportunity. We need these types of challenges to take the next step and grow into the team that I believe we can.”



The 49ers (7-2) are in the middle of a race to win the NFC West division. They can’t afford to lose against the Panthers, which will raise the stakes for each team.&nbsp;

Drake Maye took a playful jab at Stefon Diggs ahead of the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> New England Patriots</a> duel against the Cincinnati Bengals. The wide receiver revealed on Wednesday that he broke his finger a couple of weeks ago, noting that Maye’s way of throwing the ball has helped him with the injury.



“I broke my finger like a couple weeks ago,” Diggs told reporters. “So, I was just telling (Drake Maye), ‘Hey, I love the way you throw the ball.’ I really appreciate it. Just because he has that touch.”



The Patriots will try to improve to 10-2 with a win on Sunday. They are looking great on the field, and the chemistry continues to build, especially between their offensive stars.&nbsp;



<h2>Drake Maye says Stefon Diggs is “dramatic”</h2>



When asked about Diggs’ injury, Maye didn’t miss his chance to playfully diss his teammate, calling him “dramatic” for the way he reacts whenever he gets hit.&nbsp;



<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_20251122_BUS_531464_QB-Drake-Maye-of-the-New-England-Patriots-2025_2755960b.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="QB Drake Maye of the New England Patriots (2025)" class="wp-image-527493"></figure><figcaption>QB Drake Maye of the New England Patriots (2025)</figcaption></figure>



“Stef’s probably dramatic,” Maye said with a smirk. “Every time he gets hit he lays on the ground and acts like he just got hit by an 18-wheeler or something. So he’s — No, he’s awesome. I think just try to throw a catchable ball. That goes with being accurate. He’s (Diggs) awesome. He’s got great hands, one of the best hands I’ve seen. He’s effortless catching it. When it gets cold out, he likes catching more with his body. But when the lights are on he’s got one of the best games in the league.”



New England has become one of the biggest stories of the season, and if they continue to play this way, the rest of the AFC will have issues moving past them.&nbsp;
