<p>Being handed a donut is not good in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong>. Being embarrassed by your most hated rival is also critical. But hey, <strong>Las Vegas Raiders</strong> coach <strong>Pete Carroll</strong> wants to forget all that as the team goes into a bye week and focus on recovering <strong>Geno Smith</strong>‘s weapons like <strong>Brock Bowers</strong> and <strong>Jakobi Meyers</strong>.</p>



<p>According to Adam Schefter of <em>ESPN</em>, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pete-carroll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carroll</a> said that Bowers and Meyers should return for November 2nd against the Jaguars, which is after the team’s bye.</strong> The Raiders just lost 31-0 to the Chiefs, so they desperately need both of them back.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Geno Smith</a> also had an awful outing statistically. Without two of his best weapons, <strong>Smith completed only 10 of 16 passes for 67 yards. </strong>The Raiders, as a whole, had a total 95 yards in the game and averaged 3.2 yards per play.</p>



<h2>Bowers and Meyers have been underwhelming</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jakobi-meyers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jakobi Meyers</a> has 329 yards and Brock Bowers had 225 yards. <strong>None of them have a touchdown.</strong> They are supposed to be the best two receivers on the roster and are having low outputs.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/27190604/imago1048936605h-1024x683-1024x683.webp" alt="Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers" class="wp-image-236375" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers</figcaption></figure>



<p>Now, Bowers have been playing with a knee injury, but in all fairness, it’s one of two options. First, Geno Smith is not executing the playbook properly. Second, offensive coordinator <strong>Chip Kelly might not be doing a good job scheming the offense.</strong></p>

<h2>The Raiders are one of the season’s biggest disappointments</h2>



<p><strong>This team was placed by many analysts and pundits to be in the playoffs</strong>. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a> are 2-5, can’t their offensive footing, have scored 10 or less points three times this year… the list goes on and on.</p>



<p>However, the defense is not great either. <strong>Raiders have allowed 25 points or more four times this year</strong>. It’s a team that is not doing great in any sort of level. With the Raiders’ playoff hopes all but gone, now it’s time to try to righten the ship before panic sets in.</p>

<p>The <strong>Washington Commanders</strong>’ inconsistent performance this <strong>NFL</strong> season could be seriously impacted not only by the uncertainty surrounding <strong>Jayden Daniels</strong>’ short-term availability but also by another tough injury blow. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dan-quinn">Dan Quinn</a></strong> confirmed that a key player will be out for the rest of the season.</p>



<p>Veteran Dorance Armstrong, a key piece of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a>’ defense, <strong>suffered a serious knee injury</strong> and will be unable to join his teammates for the remainder of the season.</p>



<p>The news was confirmed by the head coach himself and reported by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Adam Schefter through his official X (formerly Twitter) account. There, the serious blow was revealed for a team once considered a title contender.</p>



<p><strong><em>“Commanders DE Dorance Armstrong suffered a season-ending knee injury, per Dan Quinn,”</em></strong> the reported shared via <em>@AdamSchefter.</em> It may be time to reshuffle the deck for one of the most influential defensive ends in Washington’s system.</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/10/2025/10/20162251/dorance-armstrong-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Dorance Armstrong" class="wp-image-512717" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Dorance Armstrong #92 of the Washington Commanders.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Armstrong’s impact on the Commanders’ defense</h2>



<p>The Washington Commanders defense will face a significant challenge after defensive end Dorance Armstrong was ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Armstrong, who had quickly become a key component of Joe Whitt Jr.’s new defensive scheme, was off to a hot start in 2025, <strong>already logging 5.5 sacks and seven quarterback hits in just six games.</strong> </p>

<p>His departure creates a massive void in the edge rotation and puts immediate pressure on depth players like Preston Smith and Jacob Martin to fill the void left by one of the team’s most effective pass rushers.</p>



<h2>Uncertainty surrounding Jayden Daniels</h2>



<p>The Washington Commanders are bracing for a difficult stretch as the availability of quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Jayden Daniels</a> remains a question mark for next week’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. </p>



<p>While coach Dan Quinn confirmed that the MRI on Daniels’ right hamstring indicated a <em>“not significant or long-term”</em> injury, the dual-threat QB’s status for Monday Night Football will not be known until later in the week. </p>



<p>If the hamstring forces Daniels—who already missed two games earlier this season with a knee injury—to sit, <strong>veteran backup Marcus Mariota is expected to step in</strong>, having taken over late in the loss to the Cowboys and previously started in the two games Daniels was sidelined.</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/10/2025/09/13111432/Jayden-Daniels-second-year-QB-for-the-Commanders-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Jayden Daniels, second-year QB for the Commanders" class="wp-image-491036" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Jayden Daniels, second-year QB for the Commanders</figcaption></figure>

<p>The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> New Orleans Saints</a> have been mentioned in multiple trade rumors during the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>season. The <strong>NFC South</strong> franchise doesn’t seem to have a clear path right now, other than rebuilding after several years of trying to win a Super Bowl without success.</p>



<p>Several players have been mentioned as potential trade chips for the Saints, including star running back<strong> Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Chris Olave.</strong> New Orleans could use any of them to bring in plenty of draft picks to prepare for the future.</p>



<p>Kamara and Olave rejected the idea of a trade ahead of the Week 7 loss to the <strong>Chicago Bears,</strong> as they still believe they can compete with the Saints. However, they aren’t the only candidates to leave Ceasars Dome this season.</p>



<h2>Saints WR linked with trade to Seattle</h2>



<p>Vinnie Iyer of Sporting news suggested that <strong>Rashid Shaheed</strong> could be on his way to Seattle ahead of the trade deadline.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/27174832/GettyImages-2178274128-1024x683-1024x683.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-254849" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Rashid Shaheed #22 of the New Orleans Saint</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<em>The Seahawks have rookie Tory Horton flashing as a big-play threat, but they could use a little more experience and extra speed to complement Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Klint Kubiak’s aggressive downfield passing game,”</em> Iyer wrote. “<strong><em>Shaheed broke out for Kubiak when the latter also was in New Orleans.”</em></strong></p>



<p>Shaheed’s contract expires at the end of this year, meaning the Saints could cash in on that. The Seahawks are one of the best teams in the league this season and adding another wide receiver for <strong>Sam Darnold</strong> makes a lot of sense.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Still, the Saints haven’t shown any signs of wanting to part with their players,<strong> even after a 1-6 start.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Carolina Panthers</a> extended their good moment in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season with a close 13-6 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. After a tumultuous start to the campaign, <strong>Bryce Young </strong>and Co. have righted the ship, sitting at 4-3 after the Jets game.</p>



<p>Besides the third-year quarterback finding his rhythm and confidence within the offense, the Panthers have taken advantage of <strong>Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard, </strong>two talented running backs causing a lot of damage to opposing defenses.</p>



<p>Dowdle carried the ball 17 times for 79 yards, while catching one pass for 17 yards. Hubbard rushed the ball 14 times for 31 yards and added two receptions for 24 yards. Having two running backs who can deliver at a high rate is great for the Panthers, but people are wondering <strong>who will get the most touches moving forward</strong></p>



<h2>Dave Canales gets honest on Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard’s usage</h2>



<p>Speaking with reporters after the game, <strong>Dave Canales</strong> explained how he plans to use Dowdle and Hubbard moving forward.</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/10/2025/09/04133112/chubba-the-chubby-hubbard-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Chuba Hubbard #30 of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-485287" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Chuba Hubbard #30 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



<p><em>“<strong>It felt great for me to know, whoever I was calling the run for, I expect great execution out of these guy</strong>s and, you know, Chubba even had a couple of excellent runs, you know, on the perimeter, you know, with screens,</em>” the coach said.</p>



<p>The Panthers have become <strong>one of the biggest surprises of the season. </strong>This could be a good problem to have if Canales and Co. know how to use their running back tandem. Hubbard entered the season as the RB1, but Dowdle has earned his chances thanks to his performances.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots </a>won their fourth consecutive game on Sunday, this time taking care of the Tennessee Titans 31-13. The Patriots improved to 5-2 and retained<strong> the top position in the AFC East.</strong></p>



<p>Second-year quarterback <strong>Drake Maye</strong> put up a show, going 21 of 23 for 222 yards, two touchdowns and a passer rating of 135.9. Maye set a new franchise record with this performance, posting the highest single-game completion percentage in Patriots history (91.3%), breaking the previous record set by Tom Brady.</p>



<p>Maye continues to evolve week after week. He maximized every opportunity against a weak Titans defense, entering halftime with 10 completions on 11 attempts. Additionally,<strong> he completed a career-high 16 straight passes.</strong></p>



<h2>Drake Maye praises teammates after remarkable performance</h2>



<p>While he’s constantly put up a show this season, Maye<strong> doesn’t forget about the people who make his job easier</strong>. Speaking with reporters after the game, the former North Carolina quarterback lauded his teammates for allowing him to perform at his best.</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/10/2025/05/13161438/drake-maye-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots" class="wp-image-397069" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots walks the field prior to the game against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on December 15, 2024 in Glendale, Arizona.</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<strong><em>Those guys are making plays for me. Those guys up front are blocking their butts off and in the passing game they’re going to make plays for me,</em></strong>” Maye said. <em>“We’re just tryna stay ahead of the chains and I’m tryna throw to the first guy open.”</em></p>



<p>The Patriots might not be in contention this season, but they are on the right track to make life hard for the rest of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Maye is already breaking records previously held by the<strong> greatest quarterback of all time</strong> and that can only mean good things for New England.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the process, the second-year quarterback set a new record for the highest single-game completion percentage in franchise history (91.3%), surpassing Tom Brady. Maye is<strong> proving that he’s the answer the Patriots needed every week.</strong></p>



<p>More than that, he had a solid partner in wide receiver <strong>Kayshon Boutte</strong>. Stefon Diggs led the team in receptions (seven) and yards (69), but Boutte made the most explosive plays.</p>



<h2>Kayshon Boutte rips Titans’ defense after two big plays</h2>



<p>Boutte caught two passes for 55 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown catch. After the game was over, the wide receiver <strong>ripped the “lazy” Titans’ secondary.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28061026/GettyImages-1672720068-1024x683-1024x683.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-159211" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Kayshon Boutte #80 </figcaption></figure>



<p><em>“It felt good, something we worked on all week — big throw. Big catch,”</em> Boutte said. <em>“<strong>We took advantage of lazy cornerback play, lazy safety play, and (it was) just a big play.</strong> There’s not too many opportunities like that where it’s just wide open, you and the ball. It’s one of those plays you’ve got to make. You don’t want to come back after the game and be like, ‘Damn, I should’ve had that.’”</em></p>



<p>The Patriots<strong> have been on a roll after a 1-2 start to the season</strong>. They have learned a lot from that Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and now are one of the most intriguing teams in the AFC.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sunday’s win was far from just another victory for the <strong>Dallas Cowboys</strong> this <strong>NFL</strong> season. The resounding triumph over the <strong>Washington Commanders</strong> positions <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones">Jerry Jones</a></strong>’ team as a serious contender in the NFC — and, just as importantly, it served as further confirmation of <strong>Dak Prescott</strong>’s outstanding form this campaign.</p>



<p>Two goals have continued to elude the Cowboys for quite some time now: making it back to the Super Bowl and <strong>having their quarterback named league Most Valuable Player</strong>.</p>



<p>Prescott is <strong>doing everything necessary</strong> to secure the MVP title this season, showcasing a level of play rarely seen from him — a player who has often been unfairly criticized. Jerry Jones, the franchise’s top decision-maker, knows his quarterback is delivering a standout performance.</p>



<p><strong><em>”Well, he’s mine (MVP) and he should be Cowboy fans. And he gives us a tremendous opportunity and this team is really following him,”</em></strong> Jones said via <em>@1053thefan.</em> <em>“And this team can play against elite competition just like you saw today, can play that way. And it can get better.”</em></p>

<h2>Prescott’s outstanding season so far</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a> firmly cemented his status as a top MVP candidate with a spectacular start to the 2025 season.

<h2>Breaking the stigma</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> quarterback Dak Prescott is not just in the MVP conversation—he is battling for a piece of unprecedented franchise history. Despite the storied tradition of America’s Team, <strong>no Cowboys quarterback has ever won the Associated Press regular-season MVP award.</strong> </p>

Jerry Jones turns heads with major admission about Dak Prescott after Cowboys' win over Commanders - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-mcdaniel">Mike McDaniel</a></strong> isn’t shaking things up yet. Despite the <strong>Miami Dolphins</strong>‘ 1-6 start to the 2025 NFL season, the head coach is <strong>sticking to Tua Tagovailoa as his starting quarterback</strong>, keeping <strong>Quinn Ewers</strong> and <strong>Zach Wilson</strong> on the sidelines.</p>



<p>McDaniel confirmed his decision during his Monday press conference, <strong>only a day after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tua-tagovailoa">Tagovailoa</a> threw three interceptions</strong> in the Dolphins’ embarrassing 31-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 7.</p>



<p>Questions about Tagovailoa’s job security emerged throughout the season as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Dolphins</a> got <strong>off to a terrible start</strong>, but his seat looked hotter than ever after the disappointing outing in Cleveland.</p>



<p>The fact that McDaniel named Ewers as the backup QB for the Browns game and ended up benching Tua to let the rookie play the final snaps <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/dolphins-may-already-be-preparing-to-replace-tua-tagovailoa-as-mike-mcdaniel-makes-curious-decision">fueled speculation about a potential QB change</a>, <strong>but that’s not going to happen anytime soon</strong>.</p>

<h2>McDaniel not benching Tagovailoa despite ugly situation</h2>



<p>Tagovailoa will once again be under center when the Dolphins play <strong>the Atlanta Falcons at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, October 26</strong>, in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season, hoping to get back to winning ways after three consecutive losses.</p>

<p>The Alabama Crimson Tide product, for whom the Dolphins used a fifth overall pick in the 2020 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Draft, has thrown for <strong>1,313 yards with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this year</strong>, which gives him a <strong>42.9 QBR</strong> according to <em>ESPN</em>.</p>



<p>The fact that McDaniels isn’t benching Tagovailoa <strong>may have to do with the financial commitment</strong> Miami made to the quarterback in 2024, when it handed the former first-rounder a lucrative, four-year contract worth $212.4 million to keep him in South Florida through 2028.</p>



<h2>Where is the 2023 version of Tagovailoa?</h2>



<p>Tagovailoa received that extension <strong>after a promising 2023 season</strong>, where had a passer rating of 101.1 after throwing for 4,624 yards with 29 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 17 regular season games. The Dolphins finished with an 11-6 record that year before losing to eventual Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card.</p>



<p>However, that version of Tua <strong>disappeared after the deal</strong>. An early concussion forced him to miss time in 2024 before another injury prevented him from finishing the season, which saw the Dolphins miss the playoffs with an 8-9 record.</p>



<p>In 2025, the Dolphins <strong>brought in new backups</strong> for Tagovailoa, signing a former second-overall pick in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/zach-wilson">Wilson</a> before drafting Ewers out of Texas with a seventh-round selection.</p>

<h2>Ewers, Wilson still competing for QB2 job</h2>



<p>While Wilson has so far left a lot to be desired when given the chance to play in the NFL, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/quinn-ewers">Ewers</a> is still making his first steps in the league but lacks significant action. Even though Ewers moved up one spot in the depth chart on Sunday, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/mike-mcdaniel-has-a-message-for-tua-tagovailoa-quinn-ewers-zach-wilson-and-dolphins-after-brutal-loss-vs-browns">McDaniel said postgame <strong>that decision was specific</strong> for the Browns game</a>.</p>



<p>On Monday, the Dolphins head coach <strong>left the battle for the QB2 spot wide open</strong>. However, he made it clear that he expects to make a final decision about that position soon, as he <strong>wants to avoid making it a “week to week thing.</strong>“</p>



<h2>Nothing changes</h2>



<p>In the meantime, Tagovailoa will continue to lead the struggling Dolphins’ offense. And with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross reportedly not planning to fire McDaniel anytime soon, <strong>things remain practically unchanged</strong> in Miami regardless of the team’s disastrous record. Stranger things have happened, but in the NFL, <strong>this is still surprising</strong>.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Dolphins</a></strong> lost another game, but also lost a key weapon during their game against the <strong>Cleveland Browns</strong>. Now, head coach <strong>Mike McDaniel</strong> received an unclear update on when tight end <strong>Darren Waller</strong> will be able to play again.</p>



<p>Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, “<em>Tests showed that Dolphins TE <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/darren-waller" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Darren Waller</a> has a strained pectoral that is not expected to require surgery, per source. <strong>He will be considered ‘week to week’ at this point.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Waller suffered an injury in the first half of the game against the Browns. In all fairness, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-mcdaniel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McDaniel</a> should be thanking his lucky stars because Waller avoided a worst-case scenario</strong> and won’t need surgery.</p>



<h2>Who’s the next tight end on the depth chart?</h2>



<p>If Waller is out, <strong>Julian Hill is back as TE1 of the team</strong>. Hill started 11 games for the Dolphins last season and has started the seven games this year. It’s just that Waller had way more looks. Hill has 5 or less targets in every single game this season.</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/10/2025/10/20142642/julian-hill-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Julian Hill #89 of the Miami Dolphins" class="wp-image-512604" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Julian Hill #89 of the Miami Dolphins</figcaption></figure>



<p>He has a total of 10 catches for 77 yards. <strong>Hill is nowhere near Waller’s level of production</strong>. Waller is a top-tier tight end in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> while Hill is a mid-class player. He is serviceable, but not a star.</p>

<h2>The Dolphins have limited star power</h2>



<p>Mike McDaniel will really need to have his offensive genius really in touch for the next weeks. The Dolphins saw wide receiver Tyreek Hill go down for the rest of the season a couple of weeks back, while Waller now is week to week. Hence, <strong>the weapons are getting scarce.</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Dolphins’ best offensive players now are running back Devon Achane and wideout Jaylen Waddle</strong>. But even them have struggled to earn wins for a team who is really going through a rough patch.</p>

Mike McDaniel, Dolphins receive injury update on Darren Waller with recovery timeline unclear - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong>Kansas City Chiefs</strong> made it clear at Arrowhead that they’re back in the mix, earning a convincing win over the Las Vegas Raiders. However, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a></strong> acknowledged a significant setback for the rest of the season, following a devastating injury to one of their rookies.</p>



<p><strong>Omarr Norman-Lott</strong>, a defensive tackle who joined the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> in the latest draft from the Tennessee Volunteers, <strong>suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season</strong> — a significant loss for a team with title aspirations.</p>



<p>The news was confirmed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Ian Rapoport, who reported via his X (formerly Twitter) account this significant setback for the HC and his staff, <strong>who will now have to carefully evaluate how to replace him</strong> moving forward.</p>



<p><em>“Chiefs DT Omarr Norman-Lott, their second rounder this year, suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season, sources say. <strong>The promising young lineman turns his attention to a full recovery for 2026,</strong>“</em> the insider reported via <em>@RapSheet.</em></p>

<h2>Reid’s options at the position</h2>



<p>The knee injury to rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott creates a sudden depth crisis for Andy Reid’s Chiefs defense.<strong> While veteran Derrick Nnadi</strong> is already slated for a starting role, <strong>the rotational pressure now falls heavily on Jerry Tillery to provide interior disruption next to Chris Jones</strong>.</p>

<p>Kansas City’s front office <strong>may be forced to look at outside help</strong> to avoid overworking their top linemen, especially in run defense, as Norman-Lott’s snaps will be difficult to replace.</p>



<h2>Norman-Lott’s impact on the Chiefs’ game</h2>



<p>The loss of rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott due to injury is a notable blow to the Chiefs’ interior pass rush rotation. The second-round pick was developing into a key sub-package disrupter, having already recorded 1.0 sack and 3 pressures in his limited Week 2-4 snaps. </p>



<p>His absence means more snaps for veteran Derrick Nnadi and Jerry Tillery, raising concerns that the Chiefs will lack the explosive, penetrating interior pass-rush depth they drafted Norman-Lott to provide alongside Chris Jones.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a></strong> entered Week 7 on a two-game losing streak. After a dominant win against the <strong>Minnesota Vikings</strong>, quarterback <strong>Jalen Hurts</strong> was open about what made the team get out of its bad skid.</p>



<p>Speaking to Zach Berman of The Athletic.com, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hurts</a> said the driving force behind the win was “<em><strong>the&nbsp;feeling of losing, simple as that</strong></em>.” He then added, <em>“I know there’s a clip to confirm where I said, ‘<strong>We’re not losers anymore</strong>.’ That’s all I could think about during the last two weeks… I think definitely there was some fire there. But within that fire, you have to be the calm.”</em></p>



<p>Hurts has one of the highest winning percentages in the NFL so he does know what it’s like to feel like a winner. Simply put, he’d rather keep the winning going rather than losing games. He delivered against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vikings</a>. <strong>He completed 19-of-23 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns. </strong></p>



<h2>AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith balled out</h2>



<p>The Eagles have arguably the best wide receiver duo in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> in AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. The two of them absolutely killed the Vikings downfield. <strong>AJ Brown got four catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns.</strong></p>

<p><strong>DeVonta Smith had nine</strong> <strong>receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown</strong>. The Vikings have an aggressive defense filled with blitz and the Eagles were clearly prepared to exploit that.</p>

<h2>The Eagles might be back</h2>



<p>The biggest issue with this team was its offense. However, if the Eagles keep doing what they did in Week 7, the issue might be fixed for good. At least on the passing department, but <strong>rushing wise, Saquon Barkley still owes the team a 100-yard game.</strong></p>



<p>However, Barkley is too talented to not find his way back into top form this season. In fact, <strong>if he finds his footing come playoff time, the Eagles would be a serious contender to go back to back.</strong></p>

<p>There was a disaster brewing everywhere when the preseason went wrong for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Dolphins</a></strong>. Fast forward to October, and the disaster is complete, the franchise is going through a meltdown. Head coach <strong>Mike McDaniel</strong> has lost the plot and quarterback <strong>Tua Tagovailoa</strong> is playing arguably his worst football ever. Now, even the front office is alarming the fans.</p>



<p>According to Ian Rapoport of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, <strong>Dolphins’ owner Stephen Ross said that no changes are expected “<em>at this time</em>.”</strong> This goes hand-in-hand with his plan before the season: <strong>give McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier the full year before making decisions</strong>. However, given the state of the team, some might say the plan should change quite a while ago.</p>



<p>The silver lining here is that if they continue down this road, the team will have a top draft pick next year. <strong>Maybe they pick a new coach to pair along a new rookie quarterback</strong>. Yes, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tua-tagovailoa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tua Tagovailoa</a> is really under the scope after another woeful performance.</p>



<h2>Tua is playing very poorly</h2>



<p>Tua is said to be a very accurate QB. However, his 2025 version is not that. He averages 67.8 completion percentage but <strong>leads the NFL in interceptions with 10</strong>. However, he’s only thrown 11 touchdowns and his passer rating is 82.8. His season has been underwhelming and then some. He even got benched at the end of the Browns game.</p>

<h2>The games before the bye are incredibly tough</h2>



<p><strong>The Dolphins could easily go into their bye week 1-10</strong>. The next week they visit the Falcons, then they play on Thursday Night Football against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, then they host the Bills, only to face the Commanders in Week 11. </p>



<p>The bye week works to rest, recover and reassess. However, <strong>the Dolphins might go into their bye week with a catastrophic form and a broken locker room. </strong>It’s completely feasible that the Dolphins end this season with three or less wins.</p>

<p>The <strong>NFL</strong> season has taken an unexpected turn for the <strong>Chicago Bears</strong> who, after starting 0-2, now find themselves at 4-2 and eyeing the top spot in the NFC North. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a></strong> and his teammates took down the <strong>New Orleans Saints</strong> at home and are now dreaming of claiming the division title.</p>

<p>While Ben Johnson’s team has shown solidity in multiple areas of the field, its star player was highly critical of his own performance in this game — even suggesting he wasn’t able to give his teammates everything they needed.</p>



<p>After the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Bears</a>’ 26–14 win over Kellen Moore’s team, Williams spoke to the media and addressed his performance with strong and candid words. <em>“Today was frustrating on my part,”</em> the QB said via <em>Peggy Kusinski of ESPN. <strong>“I felt like I was hurting this team more than helping them.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Williams completed 15 of 26 passes for 172 yards, throwing zero touchdowns against one interception, and posted a 61.7 passer rating, with the victory largely attributed to a dominant defensive effort and strong rushing attack.</p>

<h2>Ben Johnson agrees with Williams</h2>



<p>In line with the comments made by Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-johnson">Ben Johnson</a> offered a brief analysis of his team’s performance in the win over the Saints, agreeing that <strong>one of the main shortcomings was the passing game.</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>“We weren’t efficient enough in the passing game,”</em></strong> Johnson firmly stated to the press. <em>“We’ll see why that was. I was hopeful by Week 6 we would play cleaner football than that.”</em></p>



<p>He also added: <em>“The benefit when you win, is you usually can coach a little harder. We’re always truth tellers, on Monday in particular. When it’s good, we’ll tell them when it’s good. When it’s bad, we’ll tell them what we’ve got to clean up.”</em></p>

Caleb Williams delivers strong self-critique after Bears’ big win over Saints - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> season had started on a promising note for the <strong>Arizona Cardinals</strong>, but five straight losses quickly dashed any hopes of a breakout campaign. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray">Kyler Murray</a></strong> missed his second consecutive game due to a foot injury, and once again, <strong>Jonathan Gannon</strong> turned to the experience of <strong>Jacoby Brissett</strong>.</p>



<p>The answers the head coach has been searching for on the field have yet to appear. Murray has been a key piece in this system and, although the results haven’t come yet, <strong>the franchise remains confident that their quarterback can lead the team to great things.</strong></p>



<p>Following the loss at State Farm Stadium to the Packers, Gannon was approached by the media, who — for obvious reasons — asked about <strong>what would happen with the starting quarterback position</strong> once Murray is available again.</p>



<p>With a bye week ahead and plenty of time to rest, the HC was clear and direct, <strong>using just two words to confirm</strong> that Kyler Murray will return as the team’s starting quarterback for the Week 9 matchup against the Cowboys: <em><strong>“Nothing’s changed,”</strong></em> he said via <em>@joshweinfuss.</em></p>



<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"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Gannon said Kyler Murray will be the Cardinals&apos; starting quarterback when Arizona returns from the bye to play the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football on Nov. 3.<br><br>Why?

<h2>Brissett’s experience wasn’t enough</h2>



<p><strong>Despite putting up impressive individual numbers</strong>—including the team’s two best offensive performances of the season and 599 yards passing over two games—veteran quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett">Jacoby Brissett</a> could not capitalize on his opportunity as Kyler Murray’s replacement. </p>

<p>Filling in for the injured starter, Brissett led the offense to an unexpected surge in production, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals">Arizona Cardinals</a> ultimately suffered <strong>narrow defeats in both of his starts</strong>, falling short of securing a much-needed victory to stop the team’s slide.</p>



<h2>Relegated in the NFC West</h2>



<p>The Arizona Cardinals’ season has reached a critical point following their devastating 27-23 loss to the Green Bay Packers, which dropped their record to a dismal 2-5. </p>

<p>With the rest of the NFC West—including the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks—<strong>all sitting at four wins or better</strong>, the Cardinals are now severely trailing the pack. The defeat leaves them firmly in the divisional cellar and creates a <strong>daunting deficit to overcome as they head into a much-needed bye week</strong>.</p>
