<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks </a>(3-2) are one of the hottest teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> after five weeks. They lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5 of the 2025 season, allowing 38 points to<strong> Baker Mayfield</strong> and Co.</p>



<p>The Seahawks entered Week 5 as the No. 3 defense in the league, per Matt Johnson of Sportsnaut, confirming that<strong> Mike Macdonald, </strong>the Baltimore Ravens’ former defensive coordinator, has done a solid job.&nbsp;</p>



<p><em>“<strong>Mike Macdonald needed a little time to create something great with this Seattle Seahawks’ defense.</strong> The work, time, and investment of cap space and draft capital has paid off. Since the Week 10 bye last season, a 12-game stretch, Seattle’s defense to a 37.5 percent third-down conversion rate, 17.8 points per game and 4.8 yards per play,”</em> he wrote.</p>



<p>After suffering the second loss of the season,<strong> the situation changed for the NFC West franchise.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<h2>Seahawks defense plummets in ranking after Week 4 loss&nbsp;</h2>



<p>This week, Johnson ranked the Seahawks’ defensive unit as the eighth-best in the league. While he agreed that they had many absences against Tampa, he ensured that things <strong>would go back to normal</strong> when all the agents are back on the field.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figcaption>Head coach Mike Macdonald of the Seattle Seahawks</figcaption></figure>



<p><em>“<strong>Playing without Julian Love, DeMarcus Lawrence and Devon Witherspoon in Week 5,”</strong></em> explained Johnson, <em>“this Seattle Seahawks defense looked nothing like its usual self. A defense that came into Sunday allowing just 4.5 yards per play and 6.0 yards per pass attempt with a 76.4 QB rating allowed Baker Mayfield to average 11.5 yards per attempt with 3 touchdowns and a 134.7 QB rating. With that said, defenses can be volatile as several units across the league have demonstrated this season.<strong> When Love and Witherspoon are back, Mike Macdonald will have his guys playing at a high level again.”</strong></em></p>



<p>The Seahawks will face a tough challenge against the inspired Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1), who made a statement against the Kansas City Chiefs to close Week 5. Sam Darnold, Macdonald, and the rest will need to bring <strong>their best game against Trevor Lawrence and Co.</strong></p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> coach <strong>Jonathan Gannon</strong> reflected on his viral moment with running back Emari Demercado after the player dropped the ball right before he scored a 72-yard touchdown rushing.</p>



<p>The<strong> play ended in a touchback, </strong>and the Cardinals lost the possession. Arizona lost the game 22-21 in the last second, despite entering the fourth quarter with a 21-6 lead.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Gannon was caught berating Demercado on the sidelines <strong>after the play in a moment that went viral.</strong></p>



<h2>Jonathan Gannon apologizes for the outburst on Emari Demercado&nbsp;</h2>



<p>In the wake of the incident, <strong>Gannon apologized for his behavior</strong> and admitted he wasn’t proud of the way he acted. Demercado carried the ball three times for 81 yards and no touchdowns. The Cardinals couldn’t close the deal and left the door open for the Titans to snatch the first win of the season.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/28115259/Jonathan-Gannon-Arizona-Cardinals-NFL-2023-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="Jonathan Gannon - Arizona Cardinals - NFL 2023" class="wp-image-11038" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Jonathan Gannon – Arizona Cardinals – NFL 2023</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“Yeah, I woke up this morning and didn’t feel great about it, honestly,”</em></strong> Gannon said. <em>“So in the team meeting, I addressed it. I apologized to Emari, apologized to the tea,m and I just told them I kind of let the moment of what happened get the better of me there.”</em></p>



<p>“<em>Obviously, I try to be emotionally stable and calm because my job is to solve problems during a game, and kind of lead the charge on that. So it’s not really who I am, who I want to be, and I told the guys that today.<strong> So it’s a mistake by me, and it’s just like everybody in there,</strong> everybody made some type of mistake yesterday, which culminates to why we didn’t win the game, and we can’t let it happen moving forward,”</em> he added.</p>



<p>The Cardinals will go against another AFC South team in Week 6,<strong> as they visit the Indianapolis Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> are over the moon after<strong> beating the Buffalo Bills in Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season. </strong>The Pats traveled to West New York and made a statement against Josh Allen and Co., returning home with a 23-20 win at Highmark Stadium.&nbsp;</p>



<p>They improved to 3-2 after back-to-back wins. While they are second in the AFC East division, the Patriots are looking much better than last season. <strong>Mike Vrabel has done a terrific job with the team and their new identity,</strong> and the most immediate matchups make fans dream about how far this team could go.&nbsp;</p>



<p>New England posted a 4-13 record last season, which granted them the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft. They are now set to continue to play at a high level, and the projections are favorable<strong> for the six-time Super Bowl champions.</strong></p>



<h2>Patriots projected to have remarkable record ahead of Week 10</h2>



<p>Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports wrote on Monday that the Patriots’ <strong>most immediate opponents </strong>could put them in a privileged position to continue to tally wins. From Week 6 through Week 9, they will clash against the New Orleans Saints (1-4), Tennessee Titans (1-4), Cleveland Browns (1-4) and the Atlanta Falcons (2-2).</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/10/2025/09/15084551/Mike-Vrabel-looks-on-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Mike Vrabel looks on" class="wp-image-492094" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots </figcaption></figure>



<p>“<em><strong>New England will likely be favored in every game over the next month, meaning it could be looking at a 7-2 record entering Week 10</strong>. That’s a remarkable development considering that it would nearly double the Patriots’ win total from each of the previous two seasons (New England went 4-13 in both 2023 and 2024). And that’s not accounting for matchups later in the season against more sub-.500 teams, including two against the currently winless New York Jets</em>,” he said.</p>



<p>Drake Maye and the rest of the team are playing a solid brand of football. They want to compete and win, and Mike Vrabel has put them <strong>in a good position to do so.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a>‘ running back <strong>Rico Dowdle</strong> sent a clear message to his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, ahead of their Week 6 matchup. Dowdle, 27, spent the first four seasons of his career at AT&amp;T Stadium, elevating his level every season.&nbsp;</p>



<p>He left the Cowboys after posting <strong>1,079 yards on 235 carries. He scored twice in 2024</strong>, which remains a career-high. Dowdle has had a strong start with the Panthers, filling in for Chuba Hubbard at times and putting up intriguing numbers, including 289 yards on 51 carries and two touchdowns.&nbsp;</p>



<p>He has been active as a receiver, too, catching <strong>eight passes on 10 targets for 48 yards. </strong>The Panthers are showing signs that they can compete, and at 2-3, they are still in the race for a playoff spot.</p>



<h2>Rico Dowdle sends message to Cowboys&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Dowdle <strong>didn’t hide his excitement </strong>to go against his former team. After signing a one-year deal with the Panthers, he’s ready to dominate against the Cowboys.&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/10/2024/09/27193405/ricodowdle-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-229062" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Rico Dowdle running back of the Dallas Cowboys</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<strong><em>For sure,” </em></strong>Dowdle told reporters after the game. “<em>They gotta buckle up. I think they know for sure. I was there for five years. They didn’t keep me there for five years for no reason. I definitely will say that. Looking forward to playing those guys next week. We’ll handle it when we get there.”</em></p>



<p><strong><em>“I think it’s always a chip on my shoulder,”</em></strong> Dowdle said.<em> “Just from the start of coming into the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> and sitting behind those guys for years and going undrafted. I’ve always played with a chip on my shoulder. It’s just the nature of the business that I didn’t end up back in Dallas. I’m here now with a new team, and I’m happy where I’m at.”</em></p>



<p>Dallas just won its second game of the season in Week 5. They appear to be finding their rhythm after a slow start to the season. Javonte Williams is the clear RB1 after five weeks, <strong>but Dowdle is eager to show them what they missed.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Anthony Richardson </strong>could get a new chance in the NFL in 2025. The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Indianapolis Colts’ </a>third-year quarterback was benched ahead of the season in favor of Daniel Jones, who landed from the Minnesota Vikings and excelled during the preseason.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Richardson, the<strong> No. 4 overall pick </strong>in the 2023<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL </a>Draft, has played only two games this season, going 1 of 2 for 9 yards.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Colts boast a<strong> 4-1 record</strong> after beating the Las Vegas Raiders 40-6 in Week 5 and now prepare to face off against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, Richardson’s future could be away from Lucas Oil Stadium.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Anthony Richardson reportedly interested in joining Rams&nbsp;</h2>



<p>ESPN’s <strong>Dan Graziano</strong> thinks that Richardson “would be open” to working under Sean McVay, known for his ability to develop players.</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/10/2025/08/14152643/Anthony-Richardson-quarterback-for-the-Indianapolis-Colts-2025-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Anthony Richardson, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts (2025)" class="wp-image-472465" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Anthony Richardson</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<em>Richardson is an interesting one,”</em> Graziano wrote.<em> “I remember a couple of teams wondering if Indy would be open to moving him during free agency. So far, they’ve insisted they aren’t, but you’re right. If Jones keeps playing well and leads them to their first division title in more than a decade, </em><strong><em>who’s to say the Colts don’t decide he’s their future at quarterback and sign him to an extension?</em>” </strong>he said.</p>



<p><em>“In general, acquiring a starting QB at the trade deadline is tough, because in most cases it’s a guy who must learn a new offense on the fly. By the time he’s up to speed, it could be too late for him to save the season.<strong> That’s why someone like Richardson, whom teams might view for development in the long term, makes more sense. </strong>But there are situations that come up where a team with high hopes finds itself with a sudden need and might be willing to take the risks involved with bringing in someone from outside its system, right?”</em> he added.</p>



<p>In 17 games played, Richardson has gone 177 of 350 for<strong> 2,400 yards and 11 touchdowns against 13 interceptions</strong> and 21 sacks.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shilo-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shilo Sanders</a></strong> was recently <strong>cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers</strong> and <strong>fined by the NFL</strong>. Now, the safety has made a <strong>blunt admission about his financial situation</strong>, sending a clear <strong>message to his brother Shedeur</strong>.</p>



<p>At the end of the 2025 NFL preseason, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buccaneers</a> decided to part ways with Shilo Sanders. Around the same time, he was <strong>fined $4,669 by the league for throwing a punch at Buffalo Bills tight end Zach Davidson</strong>, adding another problem to his situation.</p>



<p>Sanders has yet to find a new team. Now, he has made a <strong>surprising revelation about his finances</strong> following a lighthearted exchange with some fans.</p>



<h2>Shilo Sanders gets brutally honest about his finances with a message for brother Shedeur</h2>



<p>Shilo Sanders’ NFL journey hasn’t started as he hoped. After going undrafted in 2025, the Buccaneers gave him an <strong>opportunity to prove himself during the preseason</strong>. However, he <strong>failed to make the 53-man roster</strong> and was released before the regular season began.</p>

<p>The fine turned out to be larger than what Shilo earned with the Buccaneers, leaving him in a <strong>difficult financial position</strong>. Jokingly, the safety admitted that his money <strong>situation isn’t as good as his brother <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur</a>’s</strong>.</p>



<p>In a video posted on X, Shilo is seen being asked for money by a group of kids. <strong><em>“I just got cut from the NFL. Bro, I don’t got no money,”</em></strong> he says. <em><strong>“You gotta go ask Shedeur. If I get back to the league, I got you.”</strong></em></p>



<h2>Is Shilo Sanders returning to the NFL?</h2>



<p>As of now, there are no reports linking Shilo Sanders to another NFL team. While <strong>several clubs have added safeties</strong> in recent weeks, the <strong>former Colorado standout</strong> <strong>hasn’t been considered</strong> by any franchise.</p>

<p>Tom Brady is absolutely impressed with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a></strong> and the performance of the 41-year-old quarterback with the Steelers. Against all odds, the veteran has the team at a 3-1 record in control of the AFC North.</p>



<p>This was Brady’s statement about Rodgers on Fox. <em>“I’m beyond impressed. I think at that age, there’s so many other factors that come into play about how to be a great quarterback. You know, we all want to talk about what happens in the offseason with him and there’s some things. There’s a lot of narratives out there. There’s a lot of that. It’s a little different. But what we know about him on the field is he’s a surgical passer. He’s got a killer instinct, he’s hyper competitive and I think he’s brought all those things to Pittsburgh.”</em></p>



<p>Additionally, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> were pleased to see that, during their bye week, the Ravens, Bengals, and Browns all lost, so at the moment, their lead in the division is two games over Cincinnati and three over Baltimore and Cleveland.</p>



<h2>Do the Steelers have a chance at the playoffs?</h2>



<p>Yes. The Steelers currently have a chance to reach the playoffs, although it is still very early in the season. However, no one expected the Bengals (2-3) and the Ravens (1-4) to have such disastrous starts, including the injuries to Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson.</p>

<p><strong>Cleveland Browns</strong> continue to move forward under the leadership of <strong>Dillon Gabriel</strong> on offense. The franchise’s starting quarterback earned the role over Joe Flacco, who, after being benched, was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals. In this context, head coach <strong>Kevin Stefanski</strong> offered a hint regarding the new backup position, which would likely go to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a></strong>.</p>



<p>With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dillon-gabriel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gabriel</a> as the starter, <strong>Deshaun Watson injured, Flacco gone, and Kenny Pickett with the Las Vegas Raiders,</strong> Sanders should be next in line competing for a spot in the Browns’ offensive game-calling rotation for the remainder of the season.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-stefanski" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stefanski</a>, meanwhile, <strong>spoke about the overall QB room situation in the days leading up to the game against Aaron Rodgers</strong> and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Uncertainty looms over the team, which currently holds a 1-4 record.</p>



<h2>Stefanski sends a confusing signal about the QB room</h2>



<p>When asked during Wednesday’s press conference if Sanders would be the backup QB with Gabriel starting, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Browns</a> head coach avoided giving a direct answer and sidestepped the question. <strong><em>“We’re still working through all aspects of the roster,”</em></strong> Stefanski said.</p>

<p><em>“I always have to be mindful of our players and our players’ development. <strong>I want to make sure that I’m always doing what’s best for our players, and, of course, our team. </strong>But with young players, I’m always thinking about — last week, making the change to Dillon, you have to think long and hard about that because these are young players that you’re so invested in their development. So, I’ll let the week play out, make a decision later on that,”</em> Stefanski added.</p>

<p>The <strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers</strong> head into their matchup against the San Francisco 49ers with an urgent need to keep their offensive versatility intact despite the injuries that have hit their backfield in recent weeks. The running game has been a key pillar in balancing <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a></strong>’s aerial attack.</p>



<p>Bucky Irving, who has been a crucial part of that aspect of the offense, <strong>is still recovering, which has affected the team’s depth in the running back rotation</strong>. The team needs to ensure it doesn’t lose explosiveness or versatility in its offensive scheme, which is why it made a roster move.</p>



<p>Ultimately, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bucs</a> made adjustments to avoid being compromised in the running game. <strong>The new addition to the running back room could make a difference if Irving isn’t fully healthy for the game against the 49ers,</strong> ensuring the team continues to have multiple offensive options.</p>



<h2>The Buccaneers’ roster move</h2>



<p>The Bucs made a targeted move to add depth <strong>by signing running back Owen Wright to the practice squad.</strong> This gives the team extra backfield options while Irving continues his rehab, allowing the offense to maintain its versatility.</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/10/2025/01/06102915/bucky-irving-GettyImages-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Buck Irving" class="wp-image-307194" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Buck Irving of the Buccaneers</figcaption></figure>



<p>To make room for Wright, Tampa Bay released veteran guard Sua Opeta from the practice squad. <strong>Wright previously spent time with the Baltimore Ravens earlier in his career and also has prior experience with the Buccaneers</strong>, which gives him a valuable sense of familiarity with the organization.</p>

<p>Deion Sanders found out that the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a></strong> had traded Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals through a text message during a practice with the Colorado Buffaloes.</p>



<p>Even though the move could have major implications for his son <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a></strong>, Coach Prime doesn’t care at all. <em>“I don’t care. I don’t give a damn about the Browns at all. I care about the Colorado Buffaloes. I do love me some Shedeur Sanders though. Believe that. I care about him and the rest of that mess I don’t. Ok? I’m a coach trying to win just like they’re trying to win games, but, I could care less of who they traded.”</em></p>



<p>Now, Shedeur has officially become the backup quarterback for the Browns, and a certain series of events could lead to the former Colorado star making his NFL debut against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong>. It all depends on Dillon Gabriel’s health and performance.</p>



<h2>Will Shedeur Sanders start for the Browns against Steelers?</h2>



<p>No. Shedeur Sanders will not start for the Browns against the Steelers. However, in something that hadn’t happened all season, the rookie will be the official backup behind Dillon Gabriel on the depth chart.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a></strong> continues to have a turbulent rookie season with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a></strong>. Now, after the team started with a 1-4 record, the front office has decided to trade Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals.</p>



<p>Faced with a new and major shakeup in the roster, this was Shedeur’s reaction in an exclusive interview with John Sabol. <em>“Oh, Joe Flacco getting traded. He was definitely somebody I leaned on for wisdom. I feel like he helped me a lot. He helped me a lot with in his time being here in Cleveland. So now, you know, everybody has their own destinies and have their own plans they have in life. So, I’m just happy for him. He told me: ‘That happened quick.’ That was crazy.”</em></p>



<p>Despite Flacco’s departure, Sanders has not been considered by head coach Kevin Stefanski to be the starting quarterback for the Browns in the upcoming game against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong>.</p>



<h2>Is Shedeur Sanders going to start for the Browns?</h2>



<p>No. Shedeur Sanders will not start for the Browns against the Steelers, as Stefanski remains firm in his decision to give another chance to rookie Dillon Gabriel, who had a solid performance in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London.</p>

<p>His absence, particularly on a short week, leaves the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> without their top two receivers. With the team sitting at a 1-4 record, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will be forced to rely on Wan’Dale Robinson (23 rec, 267 yds) and tight ends as the remaining receiving options face a daunting task against their divisional rivals.</p>



<h2>Key losses in the Giants’ WR room</h2>



<p>In a crushing blow to the New York Giants offense, star wide receiver Malik Nabers has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after an MRI confirmed a torn ACL in his right knee. The second-year Pro Bowler suffered the non-contact injury against the Chargers and has been placed on season-ending injured reserve. </p>

<p>Mike Tomlin and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> are in an enviable position. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a></strong> has shown that he still has the talent to lead a winning team, the defense keeps improving, and after their bye week, the roster could get several key players back ahead of the game against the Browns.</p>



<p>Moreover, the rest of their rivals in the AFC North are crumbling. The Bengals lost Joe Burrow for several months due to injury and, in an emergency move, traded for Joe Flacco. Meanwhile, the Ravens are without Lamar Jackson because of an injury and keep losing games, while Cleveland also looks like a ship adrift.</p>



<p>Therefore, if the Steelers want to be <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> contenders in an AFC that is more open than ever, they cannot afford to waste their home-field advantage and the extra rest going into Week 6. On the injury front, there is good news for Pittsburgh.</p>



<h2>Who is injured with Steelers?</h2>



<p>Mike Tomlin has confirmed that three key injured Steelers players like Alex Highsmith, Joey Porter Jr., and Jaylen Warren, could be back when Pittsburgh faces the Cleveland Browns next Sunday.</p>

Mike Tomlin confirms Steelers could get three key injured players back to face Browns

<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> have started the season on a strong note, leading the AFC North and generating positive expectations with Aaron Rodgers as their centerpiece. Franchise legend <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ben Roethlisberger</a></strong> made a striking prediction about the team’s outlook for the season, also speaking about the <strong>Baltimore Ravens</strong>.</p>



<p>Roethlisberger, drawing on his experience as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a>’ star quarterback, <strong>did not hold back his always-resonant opinion regarding the franchise’s aspirations</strong>. On his <em>Footbahlin</em> podcast, the legendary player shared his verdict.</p>



<p>At the same time, <strong>Big Ben spoke about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ravens</a> and their ambitions.</strong> Pittsburgh stands at 3-1 after its win in Ireland over the Minnesota Vikings and is already ahead of its divisional rivals. In that context, Roethlisberger delivered his prediction.</p>



<h2>Roethlisberger’s prediction for the Steelers</h2>



<p><em><strong>“The Steelers are total contenders,”</strong></em> Big Ben said on his podcast. The Pittsburgh icon made it clear that, in his view, the team can comfortably win the AFC North and go far in the playoffs, potentially winning a postseason game for the first time in eight years.</p>

<p>At the same time, Big Ben admitted that it’s hard for him to call the Ravens “pretenders” given their history and talent, especially with Lamar Jackson leading the way. <em><strong>“They’re good, but their defense is absolutely atrocious right now, which is mind-blowing to me, because they have a very expensive defense,”</strong></em> he said.</p>
