<p>Mike Tomlin and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> will host the Green Bay Packers in the marquee game of Week 8 in the NFL. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a></strong> has the opportunity to face his former team in a historic chapter of his legendary career.</p>



<p>The Steelers suffered a 33-31 loss against the Bengals, wasting a key opportunity to widen the gap in the AFC North, considering that Joe Burrow is injured with Cincinnati and that Lamar Jackson has not yet returned with the Ravens.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, the Packers arrive as the top team in the NFC and as potential <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> favorites after the trade to acquire Micah Parsons from the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a></strong>. For Matt LaFleur and Jordan Love, considering the past with Rodgers, this could be a statement game about the future of the franchise.</p>



<h2>Who got injured with Pittsburgh Steelers?</h2>



<p>Scott Miller got injured (finger) and has been officially ruled out by the Pittsburgh Steelers for the game against the Green Bay Packers. Another blow to the wide receiver position, which already lacked depth.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a></strong> are not enjoying a strong 2025 NFL season. Ahead of Week 8, <strong>HC Aaron Glenn</strong> was <strong>undecided </strong>on the <strong>team’s QB1</strong>, but a <strong>key update</strong> has now forced him to choose between <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a></strong> and <strong>Tyrod Taylor</strong>.</p>



<p>Throughout the week, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Glenn</a> faced repeated questions about which quarterback would start in Week 8 against the Bengals. Now, the <strong>head coach has had to make a decision due to a crucial injury update</strong>.</p>



<p>On Saturday, Jets insider Brian Coz reported that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyrod Taylor</a> has been ruled out </strong>of Sunday’s game with a<strong> bone bruise on his knee</strong>, <strong>forcing the Jets to start Justin Fields </strong>for at least one more week.</p>



<h2>Justin Fields has one more week to prove himself to the Jets</h2>



<p>The <strong>Jets’ 0-7 start is not helping Justin Fields</strong> in his bid to <strong>secure the starting QB job</strong>. He has struggled to elevate New York to a competitive level, and the team is on pace to finish with the worst record of the season.</p>



<p>In recent days, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jets-owner-woody-johnson-blasts-justin-fields-defends-aaron-glenn-as-qb-change-looks-imminent" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">owner Woody Johnson stated that the Jets needed a change at the quarterback position</a></strong>, criticizing Fields over his poor performances. Nevertheless, Taylor’s injury has postponed any potential change for at least one more week.</p>

<p>Week 8 presents a <strong>key opportunity for Fields to make a statement</strong> and keep his job. The <strong>Bengals </strong>come off a significant victory against the Steelers, but their <strong>defense is still not regarded as particularly reliable</strong>.</p>



<p>Justin Fields will also be <strong>without Garrett Wilson</strong> for this game, which will <strong>impact his performance</strong>. However, the <strong>QB must find other key weapons</strong> against the Bengals to secure a win and extend his tenure as the starter.</p>



<h2>New York’s hospital</h2>



<p><strong>Not only is Garrett Wilson out</strong>, but several <strong>other key offensive players</strong> have also been ruled out or are listed as questionable, which is far from ideal for Fields.</p>

<p>Wide receivers <strong>Kene Nwangwu</strong>, <strong>Irvin Charles</strong>, and <strong>Josh Reynolds</strong> are out. Tight end <strong>Mason Taylor</strong> and running back <strong>Breece Hall</strong> are <strong>questionable</strong>. Justin Fields undoubtedly is in a tough spot.</p>

<p>The <strong>San Francisco 49ers</strong> are one of the top contenders in the NFC, currently ranking among the leaders in the West. <strong>Kyle Shanahan</strong>’s team’s strong performance is even more impressive considering the numerous injuries they’ve faced, including <strong>Brock Purdy</strong>, who had to be replaced by <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones">Mac Jones</a></strong>, as well as several players who weren’t able to see any playing time.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brandon-aiyuk">Brandon Aiyuk</a> is one of the standout players on the Bay Area roster; however, a serious knee injury last season has still kept him from seeing action alongside his teammates this campaign.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-shanahan">Kyle Shanahan</a> indicated that the <strong>49ers might begin Aiyuk’s 21-day practice window next week</strong>. This period would allow the WR to transition from the reserve/PUP list to on-field practice under supervision, without immediately taking a spot on the 53-man roster. </p>



<p>Once the window starts, the team has up to 21 days to activate him; if they don’t, he will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. <strong><em>“Yeah, I believe he’s getting a lot closer,”</em></strong> the HC said via David Lombardi. <em>“It could [happen next week]. I think we’re week-to-week now, so hopefully, it will be sooner than later.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/25132353/brandon-aiuk-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Brandon Aiyuk" class="wp-image-515245" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Brandon Aiyuk #11 of the San Francisco 49ers.</figcaption></figure>



<p><em>“Oh, yeah, there’s hope he plays. More importantly than hope, there’s some evidence. He’s making really good progress. He’s been putting in the time, and I think that it’s coming nearer as to when he’s going to be out there,” </em>John Lynch also added.</p>

<h2>What injury did Aiyuk suffer?</h2>



<p>San Francisco’s top wideout, Brandon Aiyuk, has yet to take the field for the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season as he continues his recovery from a devastating knee injury suffered in Week 7 of the 2024 campaign. <strong>Aiyuk tore both his ACL and MCL</strong>, forcing an extended rehabilitation that has kept him on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.</p>



<p>While General Manager John Lynch reports <em>“strong progress,”</em> the severity of the dual-ligament damage means the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">49ers</a> are exercising extreme caution, with his return date still uncertain deep into the season.</p>



<h2>Injuries: The 49ers’ unwanted karma</h2>



<p>The San Francisco 49ers’ 2025 season has been defined by a <strong>relentless wave of key injuries</strong>, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a> has been a consistent casualty, sidelined for multiple games with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/brock-purdy-reveals-painful-details-about-the-turf-toe-injury-delaying-his-49ers-return">a painful toe injury (turf toe)</a> that has been difficult to shake, forcing the team to rely on backup Mac Jones. </p>



<p>The tight end room also took a major hit early when All-Pro George Kittle went down in Week 1 with what he later revealed was a significant hamstring tear, though he has recently returned to action. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="SEO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/kyle-shanahan-net-worth" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20250314_BUS_355343_Kyle-Shanahan-2.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Kyle Shanahan not only leads the 49ers, but he also knows how to manage his money.

<p>Adding to the depth concerns, promising second-year wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has missed multiple games with a stubborn knee injury, an issue that has not responded as quickly as the team hoped. This cluster of injuries to critical playmakers has severely tested the depth and resilience of the 49ers’ offense as they push through the middle of the schedule.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a></strong> was projected to return for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a></strong> in their Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears. However, the team has officially ruled out the quarterback, putting the season in jeopardy.</p>



<p>A few months ago, the Ravens were favorites to reach the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong>, but a brutal schedule against rivals like the Bills, Lions, and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong>, as well as Jackson’s hamstring injury, has left them with a 1-5 record.</p>



<p>Now, according to a report from Ian Rapoport, the expectation is that Lamar will return for the game with the Dolphins. <em>“The Ravens have now made it official: Lamar Jackson is out and they updated his status on Friday from full to limited. Lamar Jackson plans to return on Thursday against the Dolphins. For Sunday, Snoop Huntley gets another start.”</em></p>



<h2>Is Lamar Jackson playing in Week 8 for Ravens against Bears?</h2>



<p>No. Lamar Jackson is not playing for the Baltimore Ravens against the Bears, and considering that Chicago has four consecutive wins, this could put their playoff chances at risk if they fall to a 1-6 record.</p>

<p>Coming off a bye week is one of the trickiest spots in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong>. You have time to rest, prepare, and train better. However, this also puts a lot of pressure on delivering. That’s the scenario that <strong>Josh Allen</strong> and the <strong>Buffalo Bills</strong> are facing ahead of their game against the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong>.</p>



<p>Well, for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bills</a>, coming off a bye is basically winning a game. <strong>Sean McDermott is 8-0 off a bye as the Bills head coach</strong>. No other coach has a better record off a bye than McDermott. </p>



<p>Also, the Bills are a much better team than the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Panthers</a> and that is backed up by the Vegas line too. <strong>Buffalo is a 7.5-point favorite against Carolina despite playing away from home.</strong></p>



<h2>It’s Red Rifle time</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-young" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bryce Young</a> is nursing an ankle injury and didn’t practice all week. With that,<strong> the Panthers have opted to start NFL veteran Andy Dalton</strong>. The Red Rifle stepped in last week after Young’s injury and he completed four passes in seven attempts for 60 yards. However, <strong>Dalton is 1-5 in his last six starts for Carolina</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/27185220/Andy-Dalton-quarterback-of-the-Carolina-Panthers-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Andy Dalton, quarterback of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-239805" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Andy Dalton, quarterback of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>The Panthers will try to run the ball with Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle and try not to rely too much on Dalton</strong>. The Bills rushing defense is not great so that gives some sort of hope. Having said that, they need to stop Josh Allen at some point.</p>

<h2>The Bills are in need of a win</h2>



<p><strong>Buffalo started 4-0 this season and got shocked with a two-game skid before the bye.</strong> During that span, they scored 20 and 14 points, which is way below the team’s expectations. Now, they have to come back swinging.</p>



<p>Last season, the Bills went on a massive scoring spree post bye. <strong>Following their bye in 2024, the Bills scored 35, 42, 48, 24, and 40 on their next games</strong>. This team knows how to make the most when coming back from a bye.</p>

Josh Allen's Bills should be confident for their game vs Panthers for one key reason - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons </a>have been one of the <strong>most inconsistent teams</strong> in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>season. The NFC South franchise is 3-3 after losing to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.</p>



<p>All the good things they showed against the Buffalo Bills the prior week vanished against Mac Jones and Co. They will go against the <strong>Miami Dolphins </strong>on Sunday, hoping to improve to 4-3 against one of the worst teams in the league.</p>



<p><strong>Tua Tagovailoa’s</strong> season has been bad, and many fans are speculating about whether this season will be the quarterback’s last at Hard Rock Stadium. While Tagovailoa is struggling, the Falcons are still cautious about underestimating him.</p>



<h2>Jeff Ulbrich pays respect to Tua Tagovailoa</h2>



<p>Defensive coordinator <strong>Jeff Ulbrich </strong>has a strong opinion about Tagovailoa. Ulbrich remains wary of overlooking Tagovailoa, despite a struggling season in which the Alabama product has thrown 10 interceptions and the Dolphins are 27th in total yards.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/22113454/tua-tagovailoa-2-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Tua Tagovailoa Miami Dolphins" class="wp-image-513610" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Tua Tagovailoa #1 of the Miami Dolphins.</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“I still see the same guy that I’ve been fearful of the last four years,</em></strong>” Ulbrich said. “<em>He’s maybe one of the best rhythm throwers in the NFL still to date. And it’s coaching as well. His synchronized feet with the routes and the concept is just elite. When the back foot hits, the ball’s coming out. When you get the ball out like that, the players, as we’ve already mentioned, with the speed that they have, that can be explosive, that can be scary. So again, like I said, we’ve got to have our best week of prep.”</em></p>



<p>Tagovailoa’s career has gone south since the remarkable 2023 season. Many think concussions have taken a toll on him and the Dolphins’ numbers could be the biggest confirmation that the playmaker <strong>isn’t in the best position.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Daniel Jones </strong>has become one of the biggest storylines in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The veteran quarterback spent last year with the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings before joining the Colts in the offseason.</p>



<p>Jones won the battle against <strong>Anthony Richardson,</strong> and ever since he took the field, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts </a>have been rolling. At 6-1, Indianapolis is one of the best teams in the league, and they are aiming high.</p>



<p>Jones has played at a high level, signing his name on the list of MVP candidates. In seven games, he’s gone <strong>152 of 214 for 1,790 yards and 10 touchdowns against three interceptions and six sacks.</strong></p>



<h2>Michael Pittman calls out criticism for Daniel Jones in New York</h2>



<p>Jones has given the Colts’ offense <strong>a much-needed spark.</strong> Wide receiver Michael Pittman has nothing but good things to say about the quarterback. During a Thursday appearance on “Mad Dog Sports Radio,” Pittman questioned why Jones was seen in such a negative light in New York.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/22100958/daniel-jones-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Daniel Jones Colts" class="wp-image-513532" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Daniel Jones #17 of the Indianapolis Colts.</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“When he came in, obviously, there was a bunch of negative media,”</em></strong> Pittman said.<em> “I always thought of Daniel as a good quarterback. He just wasn’t in a great system to help him succeed. But I always thought that he was super tough. He’s a tough guy, he used to take a lot of sacks. He used to stand in that pocket and deliver throws and stuff like that. I was excited for him. And then he got here, and he was nothing like what the media portrayed him out to be. And I just never could understand why Dan was over-hated where he was at prior. Because the way he showed up, he’s a great dude, a great teammate, he’s a guy that you love to be around inside the building and outside of the building. I never understood how that negative stuff found him when he was at his other spot.”</em></p>



<p>The Colts will clash against the<strong> Tennessee Titans </strong>for the second time this season on Sunday. This is a good opportunity to go 7-1 and confirm that they are a real threat in the AFC.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> are playing at a high level in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The NFC West team has elevated its game with the arrival of <strong>Sam Darnold, </strong>who has created a terrific duo with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.</p>



<p><strong>Mike MacDonald’s </strong>team is playing an entertaining brand of football, but they are also a menace on defense. The Seahawks are 5-2 after beating the Houston Texans in Week 7 and are preparing to return to the field in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders.</p>



<p>Besides Darnold and JSN playing at a high level, the Seahawks<strong> have relied on their defense to win games.</strong></p>



<h2>Seahawks LB compared to Bobby Wagner</h2>



<p>Doug Farrar of SB Nation showered Seahawks’ linebacker<strong> Ernest Jones</strong> with praise this week. The analyst compared Jones to one of the most iconic linebackers in team history, Bobby Wagner.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/27142058/Bobby-Wagner-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner (54) in action during the game between the Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders played in Landover, Maryland." class="wp-image-284226" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner </figcaption></figure>



<p><em><strong>“That poked the Seahawks, who had been looking for such a linebacker since Bobby Wagner’s salad days</strong> (Remember Jordyn Brooks? Woof.) to give Jones a new three-year, $28.5 million contract with $15 million guaranteed. Based on Jones’ performance so far in 2025, that’s a serious bargain. Through Seattle’s first seven games of the new season, Jones has a sack, five pressures, 41 solo tackles, 18 stops. and he’s allowed 25 catches on 34 targets for 310 yards, 15 yards after the catch, one touchdown, three interceptions, one pass breakup, and an opponent passer rating of 73.3,”</em> he said.</p>



<p>Jones has made a strong impression on fans and analysts. The Seahawks’ defense has been their presentation card in recent times. <strong>The Legion of Boom</strong> is no more, but they can create another intimidating unit with Jones as the cornerstone.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers </a>are in the middle of a three-game winning streak after edging out the New York Jets, 13-6, in Week 7 of the 2025<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> season. The Panthers <strong>rank second in the NFC South</strong> division and are aiming to go higher.</p>



<p>Week 8 will present a big challenge for the<strong> Buffalo Bills.</strong> Josh Allen and Co. will return to action on Sunday after entering their bye week on a two-game losing streak.</p>



<p>Bryce Young (ankle) is listed as doubtful for this duel and <strong>Andy Dalton </strong>is expected to start. However, he is not considered a key piece to unlock the matchup. The third-year quarterback is playing at a solid level, throwing for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.</p>



<h2>Panthers’ RBs expected to take over against the Bills</h2>



<p>Steve Reed of the Associated Press wrote on Friday that the Panthers will need to rely on their star duo of<strong> Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard </strong>to move past the Bills.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/27190707/Dave-Canales-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Dave Canales" class="wp-image-236167" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales </figcaption></figure>



<p><em><strong>“Panthers RBs Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard vs. Bills front seven.</strong> If the Panthers are going to have a chance against the Bills, they’ll need to control the time of possession and keep Josh Allen off the field. That means effectively running the football — something they have done extremely well of late. The Panthers have run for 580 yards over the past three games. They will again employ a two-back approach against the Bills. Last week Dowdle gained 79 yards rushing on 17 carries, while Hubbard had 14 carries for 31 yards. The vulnerable Bills defense comes into the game ranked 31st against the run, allowing 156.3 yards per game on the ground,”</em> he said.</p>



<p>Dowdle and Chubbard have become a terrific tandem, but the challenge will get more difficult in Week 8. The Bills need to bounce back, <strong>and the Panthers are eager to extend their good moment.&nbsp;</strong></p>

Panthers stars named key to beat Josh Allen, Bills - Bolavip US

<p>The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers"> Carolina Panthers</a> are set to extend their good moment with a win against one of the best teams in the AFC, the <strong>Buffalo Bills.</strong> After dropping to 1-3 following a 42-13 loss to the New England Patriots, the Panthers have won three straight games.</p>



<p>The Bills are in the middle of a two-game losing streak, hoping to restart the season with a win against the Panthers. Carolina has become the biggest threat to the<strong> Tampa Bay Buccaneers </strong>in the NFC South division, but they are about to enter a difficult stretch.</p>



<p><strong>Josh Allen</strong> and Co. are eager to bounce back and improve to 5-2, but the Panthers are inspired. Third-year quarterback Bryce Young didn’t participate in any of this week’s practice sessions and was listed as doubtful for this game.</p>



<h2>Mike White offers simple solution to stop the Bills</h2>



<p>Young’s status doesn’t seem promising for the Panthers, but former Bills quarterback Mike White has a simple solution to stop Buffalo: <strong>stop Allen</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/08123024/Josh-Allen-smiling-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills" class="wp-image-488030" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“Stop Josh Allen,”</em></strong> White said with a smile. “<em>That’s really what it comes down to, right? He’s so talented at extending plays and all that good stuff. And he’s so smart at the line of scrimmage, which I don’t think he gets enough credit for. … Unless you’re truly in the day-to-day with him, and you see how he operates and works, you can’t have enough appreciation for it. My time has been so consumed with trying to pick up this playbook, so I’m just trying to focus on that part of it</em>.”</p>



<p>It is so much easier to say it than to do it. Allen is<strong> one of the best players in the league and the reigning MVP</strong>. The Bills have failed to find a true WR1 option, but Allen remains a big threat to opponents.</p>



<p>The Patriots succeeded in stopping him, and the Panthers could see what Mike Vrabel did <strong>to limit the quarterback.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Mike Vrabel</strong> is a no non-sense head coach. Hence, when he saw a <strong>Drake Maye</strong> teammate holding the ball out before scoring a touchdown, he didn’t like it. Now, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a></strong> are warned by their own coach to not do silly stuff that could eventually cost the team.</p>



<p>In Week 4, Colts’ wide receiver AD Mitchell held the ball out just before scoring and he fumbled it in, costing the team a touchdown. Next week, Cardinals’ running back Emari DeMercado did the same. </p>



<p>Last week against the Titans, <strong>Rhamondre Stevenson scored and held the ball out</strong>. Even though he didn’t fumble, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-vrabel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vrabel</a> wasn’t happy. He said, <em>“<strong>We can’t sit there and be careless with the ball. We’re not gonna see it anymore. We’re not gonna start doing this. </strong>We’re not gonna become a team that gives the other team an advantage.”</em> The warning is loud and clear.</p>



<h2>Rhamondre Stevenson should not be playing like that</h2>



<p>While no player should do that, out of them all, Rhamondre Stevenson is the one player who definitely shouldn’t be even thinking about doing stuff like that. <strong>Stevenson has 17 career fumbles and three already this season</strong>. His one weakness is ball security. If you’re wondering what’s the play Vrabel was not happy about, check it on the video below.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a></strong> have officially ruled out three more players, in addition to A.J. Brown, for their Week 8 game against the New York Giants. The star wide receiver has a hamstring injury that will prevent him from participating in the rematch against Jaxson Dart and now the list is even longer.</p>



<p>It’s important to remember that, just two weeks ago, the Giants defeated the Eagles 34-17 in one of the biggest surprises of the season. That tightened the race for the NFC East with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a></strong> and the Washington Commanders.</p>



<p>Additionally, the defending <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> champions have no margin for error in their attempt to secure home-field advantage during the playoffs, considering the strength shown by teams like the Rams, the Packers, and the Lions.

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirk-cousins">Kirk Cousins</a></strong> is set to be the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Miami Dolphins</a></strong> in Week 8. According to a report by Adam Schefter, Michael Penix Jr. will not be ready to play due to a knee injury.</p>



<p><em>“Falcons QB Kirk Cousins is ‘highly likely’ to start Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins as Michael Penix recovers from a bone bruise to his knee. Penix was limited at practice all week and Cousins worked with the first-team offense, gearing up to start Sunday.”</em></p>



<p>Throughout almost the entire offseason, Cousins was involved in trade rumors with teams such as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> and the Minnesota Vikings. However, the Falcons never considered letting him go, and his salary was also a major obstacle to any potential move.</p>



<h2>Are Falcons trading Kirk Cousins?</h2>



<p>No. For now, the Falcons will not trade Kirk Cousins, although as the November 4 deadline approaches, there’s no certainty about what will happen. The veteran is the most sought-after quarterback on the market, but Atlanta and its owner, Arthur Blank, have preferred to keep a luxury backup with a very high salary.</p>

<p>Penix showed that he can be the quarterback of the future in Atlanta, leaving Cousins on the sidelines. However, for emergency situations like the one against Miami, Raheem Morris made it very clear that he wanted to keep Kirk as a top-tier backup.</p>



<h2>Who will start at quarterback for Falcons against Dolphins?</h2>



<p>Kirk Cousins will likely start at quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons against the Miami Dolphins, according to Schefter’s report. Michael Penix Jr. has not yet recovered from a bone bruise, and Raheem Morris would prefer to give him some rest time.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones">Mac Jones</a> is finding new purpose with the<strong> San Francisco 49ers, </strong>and his latest comments reveal just how much <strong>Kyle Shanahan</strong> has impacted him. The former <strong>Patriots </strong>quarterback spoke glowingly of Shanahan’s communication and leadership, calling him<em> “one of the best that I’ve been around in terms of team meetings and offensive meetings.”</em></p>



<p>In 2022, while still with the Patriots, Jones made headlines for saying, <strong><em>“I want to be coached harder. I want to be a better player.”</em></strong> It was a statement that reflected his frustration with a rigid offensive system that often limited his creativity. Now, under <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-shanahan">Shanahan</a>, he seems to have <strong>found the balance</strong> he was searching for.</p>



<p>Jones elaborated on Shanahan’s influence, noting,<em> “I’ve been super <strong>impressed with his messaging.</strong> He’s a great public speaker, and he also backs it up.”</em> That comment carries weight, given how differently Shanahan runs his meetings compared to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Belichick</a>.</p>



<p>Despite being the <strong>backup quarterback</strong>, Jones has already made five starts for the 49ers this season as Brock Purdy deals with a painful turf toe injury. He’s performed admirably, <strong>posting a 4-1 record with 1,404 passing yards,</strong> six touchdowns, and an 89.8 passer rating.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"I definitely think he&apos;s one of the best that I&apos;ve been around in terms of team meetings and offensive meetings.

He&apos;s always… <a href="https://t.co/pO9NCmkFO0">pic.twitter.com/pO9NCmkFO0</a></p>— 95.7 The Game (@957thegame) <a href="https://twitter.com/957thegame/status/1981492960085889306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 23, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



<h2>A coach who listens, a quarterback who’s growing</h2>



<p>Jones credits much of his comfort in to the open communication Shanahan fosters. <strong><em>“He’s always trying to come up with something new to get to the team,”</em></strong> Jones said. That creativity has not only expanded his understanding of offensive play design but also reignited his confidence as a leader.</p>



<p>As the 49ers prepare for a potential deep playoff run, Jones’ growth under Shanahan could prove crucial. Whether he remains behind Purdy or takes the field again, his development under a coach who <strong><em>“backs it up” </em></strong>may redefine how he’s viewed across the league.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/madden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Madden</a> franchise</strong> has been one of the <strong>NFL’s biggest tools</strong> to keep fans deeply connected to football. However, <strong>Commissioner <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/roger-goodell" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roger Goodell</a></strong> is now facing a <strong>major issue</strong> that could <strong>heavily impact sales</strong> if it’s not resolved soon.</p>



<p><strong>EA<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ea-sports" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Sports</a></strong> has developed the Madden NFL video game for decades. Recently, the company announced a <strong>new deal with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> to <strong>extend their partnership through the 2030 season</strong>. However, there’s one <strong>crucial signature</strong> still <strong>missing</strong>: the <strong>NFL Players Association’s</strong>.</p>



<p>The <strong>NFLPA has yet to reach an agreement with EA Sports</strong>, and according to Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, <strong>both sides are currently “far apart” in negotiations</strong>. That’s a serious problem for both the league and the game’s future sales.</p>



<h2>No NFLPA deal, no party for EA Sports</h2>



<p><strong>Why is the NFLPA’s approval so important? </strong>Because the union holds the licensing <strong>rights for every player </strong>in the league. Without a deal, <strong>EA Sports </strong>could still<strong> feature </strong>all <strong>32 NFL teams — but none of the real players</strong>.</p>



<p>The current <strong>agreement </strong>between <strong>EA Sports</strong> and the <strong>NFLPA </strong>runs through the <strong>2027 season</strong> (separate from the league’s deal that lasts until 2030). There’s still time to reach a new deal, but the clock is ticking fast.</p>

" title="Roger Goodell confirms final Super Bowl halftime show decision after backlash over Bad Bunny" publication_id="BUS#/nfl/roger-goodell-confirms-final-super-bowl-halftime-show-decision-after-backlash-over-bad-bunny"></div>


<p>While fans might still enjoy playing with their <strong>favorite NFL teams</strong>, the <strong>experience wouldn’t be the same</strong> without the actual players. Under NFLPA rules, <strong>EA Sports cannot use players’ names, images, or likenesses</strong> without an active licensing agreement.</p>



<p>So, what would that look like? For example, <strong>Madden could still include the Buffalo Bills</strong> — but <strong>Josh Allen’s name, appearance, and stats would all have to be changed</strong> to avoid legal trouble with the NFLPA.</p>



<p>It’s highly likely both sides will eventually reach an agreement, with <strong>EA Sports probably giving in to most of the union’s demands</strong>. If not, Madden sales could drop dramatically, as <strong>fans won’t be happy</strong> controlling their <strong>favorite teams with completely fake rosters</strong>.</p>
