<p>Mike Tomlin is facing heavy criticism for his defense’s performance in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> weren’t able to stop Joe Flacco, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins, even though Zac Taylor’s intentions were very clear with 23 targets for Chase.</p>



<p>This was Tomlin’s explanation after the game. <em>“We play these guys a bunch. We double teamed them some. We double team No. 5 some (Tee Higgins). It’s a mix. A mix is required. They’ve got depth and talent. Just like the one play 80 made down the middle (Andre Iosivas). We were doubling them both and they were one on one in that circumstance. So, there’s many ways you can analyze it, but the bottom line is they made more plays than we did.”</em></p>



<p>Even though <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a></strong> and the offense put 31 points on the board with a furious comeback in the second half, the defense couldn’t make the final stop. On top of that, they didn’t generate a single turnover throughout the game and allowed Chase Brown to rush for over 100 yards. For that reason, what happened in Cincinnati is yet another proof that the Steelers are far from being <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> contenders.</p>



<h2>Did Steelers lose against Bengals?</h2>



<p>Yes. The Steelers lost 33-31 to the Bengals and now have only a one-and-a-half-game lead over Cincinnati in the AFC North. In addition, the Ravens, despite a 1-5 record, will have their bye week and then get Lamar Jackson back, facing a very manageable schedule for the rest of the season.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> fell to 4-2 after losing on Thursday Night Football against the <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong>. One of the stories of the game was All Pro cornerback <strong>Jalen Ramsey</strong> getting constantly burned by the opposing wide receivers. </p>



<p>Of course, fans on social media were not happy with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-ramsey" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ramsey</a>, who is supposed to be a lockdown defender for the Steelers. However, it was not his best game. User Bask posted, “<em><strong>In a game with two 40-year-old QBs… Ramsey the only one who looked washed</strong>.</em>“</p>



<p>User Kyle posted, “<em><strong>Jalen Ramsey, time to get that podcast mic ready</strong></em>,” indicating his career could very well be over after that game. User June_NYC posted, “<em>Jalen Ramsey still collecting game checks because he was good 5 years ago</em>.”</p>



<h2>Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have a history of getting the better of Ramsey</h2>



<p>Let’s take a trip down memory lane to the 2021 Super Bowl. Joe Burrow and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bengals</a> were there, so was Ramsey playing for the opposing team, the Los Angeles Rams. Now, the Rams won the game, but <strong>Ramsey saw Chase and Higgins beat him plenty of times.</strong></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">Tee Higgins COOKED Jalen Ramsey 😱<br><br>Ramsey&apos;s been cooked all night….<a href="https://t.co/wUtOMmcteO">pic.twitter.com/wUtOMmcteO</a></p>— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1979024919917625829?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>In fact, <strong>Higgins scored twice and one was on Ramsey</strong>. After the play shown above, Ramsey must have seen ghosts of what happened back in the day. Even worse for him, he still needs to face the Bengals one more time this season.</p>

<h2>The Steelers are still atop the AFC North</h2>



<p><strong>Pittsburgh is still the only</strong> <strong>team above .500 in the division</strong>. However, the team just lost a game to its closest competition. <strong>The schedule is not easy for the Steelers to be honest</strong>. Next week, Sunday Night Football presents Packers vs Steelers which is a tough game. Then, they host the 5-1 Colts, they visit the 4-2 Chargers, and then host the Bengals again.</p>



<p>Down the line they face all the teams over .500 except for the Dolphins and the Ravens. However, <strong>the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ravens</a> are the Steelers’ biggest rivals and Lamar Jackson is no easy feat</strong>. Hence, the Steelers must not get too complacent.</p>

<p>Mike Tomlin and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> lost 33-31 to the Cincinnati Bengals in the start of Week 7. The head coach was blunt with his players, pointing out that it’s very hard to win in the NFL when you don’t stop the running game and also don’t control the turnover battle.</p>



<p><em>“Just from an analysis perspective, I just thought that in the first half we allowed them to run the ball too much. I think they had about 100 yards rushing at the half and then we turned the ball over a couple of times. So, that just kind of set a negative trajectory and we were fighting uphill the rest of the way. I certainly appreciate the fight, but, man, we got to be cleaner. We got to be better and we weren’t tonight. That’s life in this business. We certainly got to learn from it and keep pushing.”</em></p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a></strong> and the Steelers had a great chance to open up a huge gap in the AFC North, but once again, the defense collapsed, and the two turnovers in the first half were key in shifting the momentum of the game. Now, the Bengals and Ravens have renewed their hopes of fighting for the division, and Pittsburgh’s schedule gets tougher with upcoming matchups against the Packers, Colts, and Chargers.</p>



<h2>Why did Steelers lose to Bengals?</h2>



<p>The Steelers lost to the Bengals because the defense couldn’t stop Joe Flacco, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins. They also allowed the worst rushing attack in the NFL to come alive, letting Chase Brown rack up more than 100 yards.</p>

<h2>Will Steelers fire Mike Tomlin?</h2>



<p>Mike Tomlin is under contract through the 2027 season, but the poor performances of the defense, his specialty, are starting to create a lot of uncertainty among fans and experts.

<p>Joe Flacco, with just 10 days of preparation as new member of the Bengals, threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns, while Ja’Marr Chase had a historic day in his brilliant career with 16 receptions, 161 yards, and a touchdown.</p>

Mike Tomlin sends clear message to Aaron Rodgers and Steelers after loss against Bengals

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase">Ja’Marr Chase</a> is enduring another difficult start to the season with the <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong>, but things are starting to turn around now that <strong>Joe Flacco</strong> is his quarterback. His recent <strong>16 receptions</strong> against the Steelers were enough to break a franchise record.</p>



<p>Thanks to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco">Flacco</a>‘s heavy reliance on Chase during the victory over the Steelers, those 16 receptions became the<strong> most in a single game in Bengals team history,</strong> granting the star wide receiver a special place in the franchise’s record books.</p>



<p>Chase didn’t hold back after the game, where he racked up 161 yards on 23 targets from Flacco. Speaking highly of his quarterback, he told Cameron Wolfe: <em>“The way he’s so poised in the huddle throughout the whole game.<strong> There’s not many QBs like that</strong>. He makes no facial expressions. That’s going to keep everybody calm.”</em></p>



<p>So far this season, Chase has 629 yards and 5 touchdowns. At this pace, and with Flacco leading the offense, it is highly probable he will once again surpass<strong> 1,500+ receiving yards, </strong>provided he stays healthy and plays most of the remaining games.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Joe Flacco is playing out of his mind. He’s been Cincy for 10 days… <a href="https://t.co/vYHpu7gKxB">pic.twitter.com/vYHpu7gKxB</a></p>— Chase Daniel (@ChaseDaniel) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChaseDaniel/status/1979004954703540412?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



<h2>Historic Moment for Flacco with the Bengals</h2>



<p>Through just two starts with the team, Flacco’s statistics, including over <strong>550 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, zero interceptions,</strong> and 60+ completions at a completion rate over 65.0%, set a new NFL benchmark. According to Greg Harvey of OptaStats on X, no other player in league history <strong>has ever reached all those marks in their first two starts </strong>for a single franchise.</p>



<p>Following the victory, Bengals fans were heard chanting <strong><em>“Thank you Cleveland,”</em></strong> a message of gratitude to the Browns for trading Flacco. Flacco himself commented on the win over the Steelers: <em>“I told Aaron after the game, I don’t think I’ve ever beat him.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Fred Warner</strong>’s recovery timeline just got a surprising update that could give the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> hope heading into the postseason. According to The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, two orthopedic surgeons suggested there’s a realistic chance Warner c<strong>ould be ready to play again this season</strong>, under one big condition.</p>



<p>Barrows reported that both surgeons believe the All-Pro linebacker’s path back to the field could align with one specific scenario. <em>“The likeliest scenario (for his return)<strong> is if the 49ers made the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong>,”</em> Barrows said, citing doctors who have studied similar injuries in professional athletes.</p>



<p>One of those experts, Dr. Eric Giza, <strong>chief of orthopedic foot </strong>and ankle surgery at UC Davis and head physician for Sacramento Republic FC, said most patients follow a “6-6-4” timeline, <strong>six weeks to heal, six weeks to rehabilitate</strong>, <strong>and four weeks to restore</strong>. <em>“At 12 weeks, you’re rehabbed and you’re ready to start fully training, and it takes four weeks to fully restore yourself,”</em> Giza said.</p>



<p>However, Giza noted that players like Warner benefit from technology that can accelerate recovery. <em>“Professional athletes <strong>have access </strong>to treatment and technology a weekend pickleballer might not have,” </em>he explained.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Robert Saleh on Fred Warner:<br><br>“He’s a Hall of Famer. First ballot period and he still has so many years left in the tank. For the season to end the way it did, it’s shameful, but at the same time, we all know Fred, he’s probably gunning to see if he can make it back for a playoff… <a href="https://t.co/fy7BIpOvCs">pic.twitter.com/fy7BIpOvCs</a></p>— Coach Yac 🗣 (@Coach_Yac) <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Yac/status/1978944197097865238?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 16, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



<h2>A slim but real shot at a Super Bowl comeback</h2>



<p>Even with that advanced support, doctors warned that Warner’s recovery depends on the severity of his high-ankle sprain. Dr. Dan Solomon of MarinHealth UCSF Orthopedics explained that the syndesmosis ligament between the tibia and fibula can complicate the process. <em>“Those can be notoriously difficult and take quite a <strong>bit longer than three months</strong> to rehab and recover,”</em> Solomon said.</p>



<p>Still, both specialists agreed that a Super Bowl appearance could align perfectly with Warner’s best-case timeline. As Dr. Giza summed up,<strong><em> “Bottom line is, unless the 49ers go to the Super Bowl, (Warner) is probably out for the season.”</em></strong> For San Francisco, that goal now carries even greater meaning — it might be their only chance to see their defensive leader back on the field this year.</p>

<p>The 2025 NFL season has been challenging for the Washington Commanders, with <strong>injuries taking a heavy toll</strong>, especially on the offensive side of the ball.</p>



<p><strong>Terry McLaurin</strong>, the team’s star wide receiver, has <strong>missed several games due to a quad injury</strong>. To bolster the position, the Commanders have added a new wide receiver to their roster.</p>



<h2>Commanders’ wide receiver depth chart with Treylon Burks</h2>



<p>With McLaurin and Deebo Samuel listed as questionable, <strong>Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, Chris Moore, and now Treylon Burks are the only healthy wide receivers</strong> available for the Commanders.</p>

<p>Andy Reid and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong> could be without Josh Simmons for the game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The left tackle has not practiced all week, and the injury report lists the reason as <em>“not injury related-personal.”</em></p>



<p>It’s important to remember that Simmons did not play in the game against the Detroit Lions, and according to a report by Nate Taylor, the situation may have been caused by a family matter involving the rookie in California.</p>



<p><em>“Josh Simmons is in California. He left at a time on Sunday that is extremely unusual. I’m not sure when he’s coming back and, as of right now, the team doesn’t know when he’s coming back.”</em></p>



<h2>Who got injured with Chiefs?</h2>



<p>Brashard Smith (illness), Hollywood Brown (Achilles), Charles Omenihu (ankle), Nikko Remigio (thumb), Jawaan Taylor (knee), Xavier Worthy (shoulder/ankle), and Jerry Tillery (elbow) appear on the latest injury report, but the good news is that all of them were full participants in the Chiefs’ latest practice.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green Bay Packers</a></strong> are facing the <strong>Arizona Cardinals</strong> this week and while teams are looking for a win, the Cheeseheads are looking for justice as they think <strong>Micah Parsons</strong> is not getting clear calls from the referees.</p>



<p>In fact, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parsons</a> didn’t hold back when speaking to the media. <em>“There are parts that you hate, and the parts that the league lets go. <strong>You can tell how they call the games…</strong> We know what they’re trying to do. They want to load the points up so fans can be happy. They’ll call defensive holding, but they won’t call offensive holding. </em><strong><em>Let’s just wake up. It’s just one of those things that we know what the higher-ups is trying to do</em>.</strong>“</p>



<p>Whether those words will cause a fine from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> or not remains to be seen but Parsons sounded off on refereeing. <strong>Parsons also accused the NFL on protecting the offense but not the defense. He advocated for a change of rules</strong>.</p>



<h2>LaFleur also spoke on the matter</h2>



<p>Reportedly, <strong>the Packers are “<em>frustrated</em>” over plenty of missed “<em>blatant, egregious</em>” holding penalties against Micah Parsons</strong>. Speaking to Ryan Wood of USA Today, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-lafleur" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matt LaFleur</a> said, “<em>That’s definitely going to be a conversation [between him and refs] pregame,</em>” regarding the situation.</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/10/2025/01/09093915/Matt-LaFleu-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers" class="wp-image-309369" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers</figcaption></figure>



<p>LaFleur is classy but does have a temper. You can only imagine that if he talks to the officials and a call is clearly missed, he will lose it. <strong>Parsons had an 11-game stretch last year where he didn’t get any holding calls</strong>. LaFleur clearly doesn’t want that to repeat this time around.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona</a> is the fifth-team with more sacks allowed this year in the NFL</strong>.

<p>Carolina Panthers’ third-year quarterback <strong>Bryce Young</strong> had a tumultuous start to the season, struggling to get things going despite a late comeback attempt against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 of the 2025 campaign.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Young, 24, showed signs of talent last season after being benched in favor of veteran <strong>Andy Dalton</strong>. He overcame that situation and played a solid level down the stretch, lifting the expectations for this year.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Carolina entered Week 4 with a 1-2 record after an upset 30-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Following a humbling 42-13 loss to the New England Patriots, they started playing better. Ahead of Week 7, they are on a two-game winning streak, following wins over the<strong> Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys.</strong></p>



<p>Young has gone 36 of 55 in the last two games, throwing for<strong> 397 yards and five touchdowns against just two interceptions.</strong></p>



<h2>NFL insider reports Bryce Young is earning the Panthers’ favor with recent performances&nbsp;</h2>



<p>NFL insider <strong>Jordan Schultz </strong>revealed on Wednesday that Young is being seen with different eyes amid a positive start to the 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/10/2025/03/19123106/Bryce-Young-7-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-358866" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“Tons of fun stories in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> right now, but one of them not getting enough attention: Bryce Young’s continued improvement for the emerging 3-3 Panthers,</em></strong>” Schultz wrote. <em>“Still just 24 years old, Young has engineered two straight game-winning drives while making a series of timely throws (namely to Jimmy Horn Jr. and Hunter Renfrow) you’d expect from a top-tier QB. His combination of accuracy and clutch play has led to exciting times in Carolina, and a sustained internal belief that Young is a true franchise QB.”</em></p>



<p>The Panthers will clash against the <strong>New York Jets</strong> on Sunday, hoping to worsen the Jets’ crisis and get over the .500 mark.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="http://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> fired <strong>Brian Callahan</strong> after the team suffered its fifth loss of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6 of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. Callahan only won four games during his tenure with the Titans and the team didn’t show any improvements under his guidance, even with Cam Ward under center.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The search for a new head coach already started, but there’s no clear indication of who could take over from Callahan. <strong>Mike Vrabel </strong>was the last coach who led Tennessee to the playoffs, including an appearance in the AFC championship game.&nbsp;</p>



<p>NFL insider<strong> Ian Rapoport</strong> shared a series of names that could interest the Titans’ front office, including currently employed coordinators.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Ian Rapoport names potential head-coaching candidates for Titans&nbsp;</h2>



<p>During a conversation with “The Rich Eisen Show,” the veteran insider explained that the Titans’ job was a good one because it was open and several candidates could join the team.<strong> Additionally, he said that there isn’t a strong option for the AFC South franchise.&nbsp;</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/10/2025/08/16135717/cam-the-cameron-ward-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-473652" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Cameron Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans </figcaption></figure>



<p><em>“I would say, if you wanna look at where to go, it doesn’t seem like there’s a Ben Johnson in this mix. <strong>It doesn’t seem like there’s a can’t-miss candidate.</strong> A couple that have been mentioned to me, I would say Matt Nagy… Another one would be Arthur Smith… Then you have some others, really good coordinators. Like the Joe Brady of the world, Lou Anarumo is another who’s done a really good job in Indy. I would more focus on leading and, you know, who can get the room better as opposed to who is the sort of quarterback guru,” </em>he said.</p>



<p>The Titans will clash against Vrabel’s team, the<strong> New England Patriots</strong>, in Week 7 of the season. They will try to bounce back again and secure another win against one of the most entertaining teams in the league this campaign.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots </a>are one of the most intriguing teams in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>season. They improved to 4-2 after beating the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, confirming that their upset win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 5<strong> wasn’t a fluke.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>Drake Maye</strong> continues to play at a high level, and his wide receivers have risen to the occasion. Stefon Diggs, signed during the offseason, has recorded 32 receptions for 387 yards, leading the team in both categories.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Kayshon Boutte (18 catches for 301 yards) and<strong> DeMario Douglas</strong> (eight receptions for 101 yards) have worked well with Diggs, giving Maye a trio of solid wide receivers. However, the Pats could be on the lookout for a new wideout.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rob Gronkowski names AJ Brown a potential target for Patriots&nbsp;</h2>



<p>During a Wednesday appearance on Kay Adams’ “Up &amp; Adams” show, future Hall of Famer <strong>Rob Gronkowski </strong>explained why he believed Philadelphia Eagles’ star AJ Brown would end up going to Foxborough.&nbsp;</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/10/2025/09/29093756/AJ-Brown-looks-on-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="AJ Brown looks on" class="wp-image-500385" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>A.J. Brown #11 of the Philadelphia Eagles reacts.</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<strong><em>AJ Brown, obviously, but that’s been news for a long time now, going to the Patriots, since he’s such a big Patriots fan as well, and you saw that when he got Julian’s jersey and Tom’s jersey in the offseason,”</em></strong> Gronkowski said<em>. “So a wide receiver, big-time player, I’m not talking just trade for, you know, a slightly average guy. They got to make a splash if they do make the trade, and they can’t overpay either. It just has to be fair.”</em></p>



<p>Brown <strong>has complained about the lack of targets this season</strong>. The Eagles are a run-heavy offense, which has frustrated the wide receiver more than once. New England’s running game isn’t that good, either, but Brown would put them on a different level, should he join.&nbsp;</p>

They co-lead the NFC West division alongside the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams (all with a 4-2 record)<strong> after a positive start.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Seattle made a statement on Sunday, <strong>when they bounced back</strong> from a 38-35 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and took down the 4-1 Jacksonville Jaguars, fresh off a dramatic win on Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Sam Darnold </strong>and Co. continue to play at a high level, but not everybody is evaluating their performance as highly as most fans and analysts.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>PFF ranks Baltimore Ravens higher than Seahawks in the latest power rankings&nbsp;</h2>



<p><strong>Pro Football Focus</strong> shared its NFL Week 7 power rankings. The power rankings is based on team standings and future prospects. The Kansas City Chiefs sit atop, while the Green Bay Packers are second, the Buffalo Bills are third, the Detroit Lions rank fourth and the Rams close out the top five.&nbsp;</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/10/2025/03/10130742/Mike-Macdonald-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Mike Macdonald in 2024" class="wp-image-352387" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Head Coach Mike Macdonald of the Seattle Seahawks</figcaption></figure>



<p>The 1-5 Baltimore Ravens rank seventh, right behind the Philadelphia Eagles. In contrast,<strong> the Seahawks aren’t even in the top-10.</strong> They clock in at No. 12, with a 52% chance of making the playoffs and a 3% chance of winning the Super Bowl.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Lamar Jackson’s return after the bye week makes it easy to see why the Ravens would rank that high, but the team also lost games when the two-time NFL MVP was healthy. The Ravens are one of the most disappointing teams in the league this season, and it’s hard to see them<strong> turning things around.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Brian Callahan</strong> lost his job as the<a href="http://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Tennessee Titans</a>‘ head coach on Monday, following a 20-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Titans looked lifeless against the Raiders, who had just one win prior to their Sunday meeting.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Callahan was on the receiving end of criticism due to the lack of progress the team showed during his tenure. He left with a 4-19 record since taking over from <strong>Mike Vrabel</strong> in 2024.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Vrabel himself revealed that he reached out to Callahan after the Titans fired him. The <strong>New England Patriots</strong> coach went through the same experience last year, and he wanted to have a nice gesture with his successor.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Mike Vrabel reveals message to Brian Callahan&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Speaking with reporters, Vrabel, who coached the Titans from 2018 through 2023, admitted he contacted Callahan <strong>to show support.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>“<strong><em>Of course, I did,”</em></strong> Vrabel said.<em> “I mean, you don’t wanna see anybody that shares a job with you let go. That’s a tough feeling. With family and school, whether it’s in college or pro, we’re in the media every single day. There’s a human element to this that I don’t wanna forget. I just remember all those coaches or people that reached out after I was let go. And I think that’s important, because nobody texts you when you lose, they all text you when you win.”</em></p>



<p>Vrabel will clash against the Titans on Sunday, trying to improve to 5-2 and continue to lead the <strong>AFC East </strong>division. This time, however, he won’t meet Callahan on the other side of the gridiron.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong> looked like contenders again during their victory over the Detroit Lions. However, the quarterback sent a very clear message to his teammates about a possible letdown and overconfidence in the next game against the Raiders.</p>



<p><em>“We’re going up against a Raiders team that’s hungry. It’s always going to be a tight contested football game. You feel that when you step in the building during Raiders week. I always say, it doesn’t matter if you’re doing good or they’re doing good, this game means more to everybody. Everybody that’s playing in the game, both sides of the football. You have to have that mentality. It’s a true rivalry game. You don’t have a lot of those in the NFL. I’m blessed to be a part of it because it really does bring out the best in both teams.”</em></p>



<p>Suddenly, despite a 0-2 start, Mahomes is the favorite to win the MVP award, and the Chiefs are once again seen as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> candidates. For that reason, they cannot afford to lose against the Raiders, considering that the AFC West is very tight with the Chargers and Broncos.</p>

<p>The Chiefs are favorites to win the AFC West (+160) despite currently being in third place in the division with a 3-3 record. The Chargers (+170) and Broncos (+210) have a 4-2 record.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a></strong> are in desperate need for new players but signing a player who just played for the team you’re facing this week is not that common. However, they just did that as they prepare to compete against <strong>Jordan Love</strong> and the <strong>Green Bay Packers</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Cardinals signed tight end Josiah Deguara who was a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Packers</a>‘ third-round pick back in 2020</strong>. The signing comes from the team’s practice squad after signing with the Cardinals for a year in May.</p>



<p>Arizona needed help on the position as they placed Travis Vokolek in season-ending injured reserve. He suffered a neck injury. <strong>Thankfully, the Cardinals are looking more for depth on the roster.</strong></p>



<h2>Their TE1 is one of the NFL’s best</h2>



<p>The best tight end on the team is one of the best in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Trey McBride is an absolute monster. In 2023, he put the league on notice gettin 825 yards but 2024 he rose to superstardom. Last season, <strong>he was a Pro Bowler and had 111 catches for 1,146 yards and two touchdowns.</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/10/2025/04/04124537/Trey-McBride-2-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Trey McBride #85 of the Arizona Cardinals" class="wp-image-369929" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Trey McBride #85 of the Arizona Cardinals</figcaption></figure>



<p>In 2025, McBride already has 37 catches for 347 yards and already tied last season’s touchdowns tally. <strong>He is by far the best weapon on the team</strong>. He is more used as a receiver, while new signing Deguara will provide additional blocking.</p>

" title="Former Cardinals coach reveals how Marvin Harrison Jr. can overcome rough start" publication_id="BUS#/nfl/former-cardinals-coach-reveals-how-marvin-harrison-jr-can-overcome-rough-start"></div>


<h2>Cardinals vs Packers is a great tight end matchup</h2>



<p>McBride is in fact a top-tier tight end but the Packers have a great tight end too. <strong>Tucker Kraft has 268 yards already this season and three touchdowns</strong>. He serves as J<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-love" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ordan Love</a>‘s safety target.</p>



<p>Kraft is also safe for Love. <strong>Out of his 22 targets, he’s caught 18 passes and is averaging a career-high 14.9 targets per reception</strong>. It will be interesting to monitor the tight end duel in this game.</p>
