Mike Tomlin and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> are going through a crisis with a 6-6 record, and many fans are calling for the head coach to be fired due to the poor results. However, in a very weak AFC North, they still control their own destiny.



Tomlin has many problems to solve. The most important one is undoubtedly on defense, which was crushed last week by the Buffalo Bills’ running game. Now, in a key matchup with the Ravens, the threat is serious with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.



On offense, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> has felt the impact all season of not having a true No. 2 wide receiver. Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson haven’t lived up to expectations, so in what may be an emergency move, the Steelers have shaken up the roster at that position.



<h2>Who is new wide receiver for Steelers?</h2>



Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be the new wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the game against the Baltimore Ravens after Mike Tomlin’s team confirmed that he was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster.


 

 


<h2>Who did Steelers just sign?</h2>



The Steelers also added Adam Thielen, claiming him off waivers after the Minnesota Vikings let him go. Although he traveled with the team to Baltimore, it’s still unknown whether he will make his debut in this key divisional game.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones">Jerry Jones</a> was blunt in stating that the referees affected the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> during their loss to the Detroit Lions. Undoubtedly, the key play came in the fourth quarter when they were in the red zone and an offensive pass interference was called on Jake Ferguson, even though the replay showed it should have actually been called in favor of Dak Prescott’s team.



“There was no penalty adverse to the Cowboys. Just not one. Period. In a way, we live with those calls. We all do. I’m a big believer in that. I like the idea of putting it in the officials’ hands. They are not biased and they do make mistakes, but the mistakes oughta come your way some and some others some.”



The loss in Detroit may have derailed all <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> hopes for the Cowboys. Now, they need to win the four games they have left and get help from teams like the Lions, Packers, and 49ers.



<h2>Did the referees cost the Cowboys a loss in Detroit?</h2>



Jerry Jones said that the referees were a key factor in the loss to Detroit. Additionally, in a subtle shot at the officiating, the owner said this is something that has happened for several weeks against the Dallas Cowboys.


 

 


“I understand the mistakes that officiating makes. Where I always look for improvement is the determination back, whether it’s the offseason or back in New York, about how we’re going to emphasize certain calls because they vitally make a difference in the outcome of key games. We did not have a penalty on that call and these things have been going on against us a little bit. Not biased. I want to be sure and emphasize that. Maybe you want New York to have more input into what they’re seeing on television.”



The Cowboys needed to win out to have a strong chance to make the playoffs. Now, if the wild card race is no longer an option, their other path is the NFC East title. For that to happen, the Eagles must lose at least three games.

Cam Ward didn’t have the easiest path to the NFL, but the things he endured during his journey made him the player and person he is right now. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick received only one college offer coming out of high school.



He took it and joined the University of Incarnate Word (UIW). Ward joined an FCS school and tried to build from that. The playmaker was welcomed with open arms by the school, and his former coach, Eric Morris, knew he had something special in the future Miami Hurricane.&nbsp;



In two seasons with UIW, Ward went 567 of 893 for 6,908 yards and 71 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. After two seasons in Texas, he transferred to the Washington State Cougars, where he played two more campaigns before joining the Hurricanes.&nbsp;



<h2>Cam Ward’s former coach compared him to Patrick Mahomes&nbsp;</h2>



Ward’s former coach, Eric Morris, revealed he knew the quarterback was meant to do big things. He recalled seeing Ward look like another talented quarterback he had seen: three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251206_BUS_540148_cam-ward-1_09740376.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Cam Ward" class="wp-image-451239" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans</figcaption></figure>



“I walked down and Cam’s taking a little three step drop as he warms up and the ball is just spinning out there like none other,” Morris said. “The pop that he had, the rotation that he had it was something, when you see a talent like that, and I had been around Patrick Mahomes for the previous three or four years, so it’s not like I didn’t know it when I saw it.”



“Right off the bat it jumps out and I’m following him around the rest of practice… I’ll never forget the coaches looking at each other as Cam knocks out these three throws. Like, ‘who the heck is this kid, why is he here and why did we not know about him?’ The talent was there,” he added.



Ward isn’t having the best rookie season with the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Tennessee Titans</a>. They have won only one game, with the quarterback going 246 of 412 for 2,351 yards and seven touchdowns with six interceptions.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans </a>rookie quarterback Cam Ward hasn’t had the easiest first campaign in the NFL. The former No. 1 overall pick landed on a team with little to no expectations this season, but it was hard to imagine they would be this bad after 13 weeks.&nbsp;



The Titans have posted a league-worst 1-11 record. It looks like they will have the No. 1 overall pick again in 2026. Despite struggling mightily, the AFC South team remains confident that Ward can lead them for many years.&nbsp;



They will clash against the Shedeur Sanders-led Cleveland Browns on Sunday, hoping to secure their second win of the season. Ahead of this rookie duel, Ward sent a message to his doubters.&nbsp;



<h2>Cam Ward remains confident in his talents</h2>



Despite being the worst team in the league this season, the Titans are optimistic about the future. They should be after Ward made a strong statement about his desire to turn things around.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251206_BUS_540145_cam-ward-1_00bec913.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Cam Ward" class="wp-image-451239" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans</figcaption></figure>



“I never forget where I came from,” Ward said. “I know how hard it took for me to put myself in a position of being a first round pick. I just think that’s why it’s going to end up with me being one of the best players to play because not only am I willing to do it, but I’m willing to live by it every day.”



“I don’t listen to other people’s expectations. They don’t play the quarterback position. I know what I’m capable of doing… I know what I can do on Sunday’s and that’s where I think I’ll be able to solidify myself as hopefully one of the top five quarterbacks to ever play the game,” he added.



Tennessee has shown a better face on offense in recent games, but it needs to go that extra mile to collect more wins before the season is over.&nbsp;

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> New England Patriots</a> are already putting the NFL on notice amid a remarkable 11-2 run. Mike Vrabel’s first season as the team’s head coach has been nothing but impressive, and the front office might be preparing to face the 2026 campaign, even though they are far from over.&nbsp;



Drake Maye elevated his game this season, going 276 of 386 for 3,412 yards and 23 touchdowns with six interceptions. The second-year quarterback has gained MVP buzz due to his performances, although others have questioned how good the Patriots actually are due to the strength of their schedule.



Maye and Co. will return to action in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. They could secure the AFC East with a win against Josh Allen and Co. Meanwhile, some started to predict how the 2026 campaign might look for the Pats.



<h2>Patriots predicted to land Georgia product to protect Drake Maye&nbsp;</h2>



The NFL Draft is still months away, but with the college football regular season done, many have predicted which player will go where next year. Dane Brugler of The Athletic suggests that the Patriots might land Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling with the No. 32 overall pick.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251206_BUS_540144_drake-maye-2-1_a165bef9.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots" class="wp-image-425540" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots </figcaption></figure>



“The Patriots’ new team motto: Protect Drake Maye at all costs,” Brugler wrote. “Morgan Moses has played well at right tackle this season, but he turns 35 in March. Freeling would be a great understudy who could provide short-term depth and a long-term answer on the outside.”



Freeling has started in 16 college games (12 this season), meaning he might have to sit and learn behind Moses before he takes over at right tackle. He helped the Georgia Bulldogs to an 11-1 record while being named to the All-SEC third team.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints</a>‘ 2025 NFL season has been unimpressive, to say the least. Things were headed south after Derek Carr suddenly announced his retirement, leaving the team with Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough as its strongest options at quarterback.&nbsp;



The Saints are 2-10 after 13 weeks, and nothing suggests they will play better down the stretch. Just like other struggling teams such as the Tennessee Titans (1-11), New York Giants (2-10) and New York Jets (3-9), the Saints are planning for the 2026 campaign.&nbsp;



It seems like Shough has done enough to convince the front office to run it back next year, but they will still make additions to bolster their ranks.&nbsp;



<h2>Cam Jordan’s replacement could come in 2026 NFL draft&nbsp;</h2>



Eddie Brown of The San Diego Union-Tribune put together a mock draft that predicts the Saints would focus on the defense instead of adding another quarterback. Per Brown, the NFC South team would select Auburn edge rusher Keldric Faulk.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="740" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251206_BUS_540146_cam_jordan_of_the_saintsjpg_242310155_a5993bdf.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=740" alt="" class="wp-image-208587" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Jordan of the New Orleans Saints</figcaption></figure>



“There’s a chance Saints GM Mickey Loomis is fine with Tyler Shough being the starter next year after drafting him with the 40th overall pick in April’s draft,” Brown wrote. “Faulk is a 6-foot-6, 285-pound edge who was the No. 9 player on Bruce Feldman’s 2025 ‘Freaks List’, reportedly squatting 700 pounds and benching 415. He’s a versatile chess piece on the D-line in odd or even fronts, and has even shown the ability to standup and play outside linebacker. Faulk doesn’t turn 21 until next September.”



Cam Jordan has spent 15 seasons with the Saints, becoming the heart and soul of the defense. The defensive end has played 238 games, recording 745 tackles, 128 sacks, 16 forced fumbles, 12 fumble recoveries for 11 yards, three interceptions for six yards, one touchdown, and 66 passes defended.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons</a> continue to struggle in the 2025 NFL season. The NFC South team dropped to 4-8 after losing to the New York Jets on Sunday. A Nick Folk’s 56-yard field goal sealed the deal for the Jets in the final seconds.&nbsp;



Atlanta came off beating their archrivals, the New Orleans Saints, in Week 12, but they couldn’t build on that win. Kirk Cousins went 21 of 33 for 234 yards and one touchdown, while Bijan Robinson recorded 193 total yards and one touchdown on 28 touches.&nbsp;



The Falcons outgained the Jets in first downs (25 to 16), total yards (389 to 269), and yards per play (6.3 to 4.5), but none of that mattered when the game ended. Atlanta’s special teams unit made costly mistakes during the game, including on kickoff and punt coverage. Additionally, they missed a field goal.&nbsp;



<h2>Falcons coach shares frustrations about special teams’ shortcomings&nbsp;</h2>



Special teams coordinator Marquice Williams discussed the unit’s poor play, saying it was frustrating that everything they prepare during the week doesn’t work during games.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251206_BUS_540147_Bijan-Robinson_81693001.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Bijan Robinson #7 of the Atlanta Falcons" class="wp-image-353061" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Bijan Robinson #7 of the Atlanta Falcons</figcaption></figure>



“It is frustrating because my job as a coach is to always try and help our team in the best way to win games,” he said. “It’s frustrating because you look at those two plays, we don’t get a second chance on those plays. There is no second down, and those are critical errors.”&nbsp;



“Biggest thing on special teams is doing your job,” linebacker and special teams contributor JD Bertrand said Monday. “You’re one of 11, and if one person’s outside of their gap, it can create a hole. So that’s the biggest thing, and that’s emphasis on making sure guys do their job.”&nbsp;



The Falcons will take on a big challenge in Week 14: the Indianapolis Colts. They can make a statement against Daniel Jones and Co. and demonstrate that their flaws are fixed.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> hinted last Sunday that some players of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> were not attending film sessions and meetings. Now, before the game against the Ravens, the quarterback did not confirm, but also didn’t deny, what he said about his teammates.



The question for Rodgers was very clear from Brooke Pryor: “One of the things you said on Sunday that could help you and the pass catchers be on the same page is everybody coming to those film review sessions. To be clear, has there been less than 100% attendance? Is that something that you feel like needs to improve?”



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champion quarterback did not answer whether anyone is skipping those meetings. “What I was talking about was during the week, we have our meetings on Thursdays, and I meant that everybody come there with an open mind and be self-critical, and work on the things you got to work on, and let’s get better. As far as any off the field stuff, I’m not going to talk about any of that.”



<h2>Is Aaron Rodgers playing for Steelers vs Ravens?</h2>



Yes. Aaron Rodgers is playing for the Steelers against the Ravens in Week 14. The quarterback was a full participant in practice, so despite his left wrist injury, he will be the starter in Baltimore.


 

 


<h2>Can the Steelers win the AFC North title?</h2>



Yes. The Steelers can win the AFC North if they get victories in all their remaining games. Mike Tomlin’s team will face the Ravens twice and has matchups with the Lions, Dolphins, and Browns.

The Miami Dolphins have undoubtedly reached this point in the season clearly short of where they had hoped to be. Mike McDaniel knows they can still improve their performance, even though they are practically eliminated from the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Playoffs, and a win over the New York Jets in Week 14 is crucial.



Coming out victorious at MetLife Stadium could be quite a challenge for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Dolphins</a>, as they’ll not only face a tough team on their home turf, but also contend with what is expected to be harsh weather due to the low temperatures forecasted for this weekend.



During his latest press conference, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-mcdaniel">McDaniel</a> addressed the situation and was clear that the weather might not be the most decisive factor; instead, the key will be overcoming the challenge posed by Aaron Glenn’s Jets.



“I think each team’s unique to itself. Not disregarding it, but you have to make sure opponent is the Jets not the weather,” he said. “I think we have a lot of reasons to not have any concern for elements of temperature and moisture. Realistically, these guys have all played football in those elements. It will be about playing the Jets and it won’t be about playing the cold.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251206_BUS_540410_mike-mcdaniel-3_f98f0274.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Mike McDaniel" class="wp-image-540450"></figure><figcaption>Coach Mike McDaniel.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Tua’s numbers in freezing temperatures</h2>



Despite Miami Dolphins quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tua-tagovailoa">Tua Tagovailoa</a>‘s documented struggle in cold weather—holding an unfavorable 0-7 career record in games where the temperature at kickoff is below 46 degrees—he has historically found success against the New York Jets. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/tua-tagovailoa-vows-to-silence-bad-narrative-ahead-of-week-14-dolphins-vs-jets-game"></div>


Specifically, the Dolphins currently boast a perfect 6-0 record in games that Tagovailoa has started against the Jets, indicating that his personal record against this particular divisional rival outweighs his general cold-weather difficulties.



<h2>The Dolphins’ playoff chances</h2>



Currently sitting in third place in the AFC behind the Patriots and Bills, the Dolphins hold a 5–7 record, and their chances of making the postseason are practically miraculous. According to the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture">official NFL website</a>, this team has only a 1% chance of qualifying.

Jerry Jones has heard how in recent days George Pickens has been criticized for his supposed lack of effort in the game between the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> and the Lions. However, the team owner is not willing to cross that line, although he also admitted that he doesn’t know what happened with his star wide receiver in Detroit.



“He didn’t have the game that he’s been having, but, effort, I would be very careful with him going there. This guy is explosive with his temperament and I say that in a positive way. So, I don’t think so much it was effort, but I don’t necessarily have a good explanation as to why he didn’t show up more, especially, again, as they were limited in their secondary.”



Pickens arrived to the Cowboys after a shocking trade made by Jones with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> and, following that move, George has shown why he’s one of the best receivers in the NFL. All of this comes just as he is about to request a new contract in Dallas or with any other team as a free agent.



<h2>How many years does George Pickens have on his contract?</h2>



George Pickens is in the final year of his contract, so if Jerry Jones doesn’t make an attractive offer, the wide receiver could test free agency. However, the Cowboys have one last option, which would be to franchise tag him.


 

 


Jerry Jones said he is not concerned after Pickens’ bad performance against the Detroit Lions, but he also made it very clear that, in CeeDee Lamb’s absence, the former Steelers player could have done more.



“I thought Dak got some balls out there that should have been caught. Flournoy had a really good night. I know we’re all positive about how he’s coming along. He made some really outstanding plays, but I would have thought it would have been Pickens Grand Central. I’m not disappointed other than the fact that it could have helped us win that ball game. No. I’m not at all concerned going forward about Pickens. I would agree with you that I thought we would have more with him than we did.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-dak-prescott-sends-clear-message-to-jerry-jones-cowboys-after-loss-against-lions-as-they-are-almost-eliminated-from-playoffs"></div>


<h2>What is George Pickens projected contract?</h2>



George Pickens’ projected contract could be a four-year deal asking for at least $30 million per year. However, thanks to his spectacular 2025 season, his agent David Mulugheta could push for him to be paid like the best player at his position, raising the benchmark to $35 million annually.



After what happened against the Lions, Jones reiterated that the trade for Pickens has far exceeded his expectations and that Detroit was just one bad night.



“He has exceeded our expectations. He’s having an outstanding year. I would have thought we could go to Pickens more than the opportunities we took with him. I’m not questioning one thing that I thought.”

Jerry Jones was surprised that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> lost the battle in the trenches against the Detroit Lions, especially on defense. For the controversial owner, that was one of the key factors after a game that could end up leaving them out of the playoffs.



“That was unexpected. I thought we had worked all week to be ready for them. This was a real puzzler for me as well sitting there watching it. I wasn’t at all satisfied with what we did either place. Now, Detroit is a solid, good football team that could very easily go a long way in the playoffs. So, all of that is the type of thing that’s going through my mind. Very frustrating.”



Jones made a final push at the trade deadline by acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson. That was his bet to keep their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> hopes alive, but without crucial stops by the defense in Detroit, that dream now seems to be over.



<h2>Can the Dallas Cowboys make the NFL playoffs?</h2>



The Cowboys can still make the playoffs if they win their four remaining games (Vikings, Chargers, Commanders, Giants) and get help from several teams. The first option is for the Eagles to lose at least three games, which would make the Cowboys NFC East champions.


 

 


The other alternative is the wild card race, in which they would need teams like the Packers and the 49ers to lose three games, along with the Lions dropping two of their remaining games. Because of that, Jones acknowledged that the opportunity they let slip away in Detroit is huge, especially considering that Dan Campbell’s team had many injured players.



“It was disappointing. Very frustrating. We should have been able to be more productive. They weren’t at full speed. We were probably as good (healthy) as we’ve been all year. You could have had me on this show last week and told me that we weren’t going to make a better showing, and I would have really debated with you.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> have a defensive stud in edge rusher Micah Parsons. He is one of the favorites to win an NFL award this year, but one player is above him. Against the possibility of missing the achievement, the player opened up about his motivations and spoke about Myles Garrett, a Shedeur Sanders teammate on the Cleveland Browns.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/myles-garrett" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Garrett</a> is on pace to break the single-season sacks record. He is four sacks away and there are five games to go. This puts him over Parsons in the Defensive Player of the Year odds. Parsons spoke about it.



“I think it’ll be a nice accolade if I’m able to achieve that once in my career, but for right now, I just been playing for respect,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parsons</a> said to Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com. “I think that’s kind of what’s making me go.” He also said Garrett is “his own different specimen, and he has his own team, and what they do and what they do is special.“



<h2>Garrett is entering historical levels of dominance</h2>



Myles Garrett is a four-time first-team All Pro, a one-time DPOY, and a six-time Pro Bowler. During his nine years in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, he’s had double-digit sacks in every single season except for his rookie year.

He commands two or three men from the opposing team to try and control him and he still dominates the trenches. If he retired today, Myles Garrett is likely to go to the Hall of Fame. If he is able to break the sacks record, it’s just confirmation of how good he is despite playing with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shedeur Sanders</a> in a dysfunctional franchise like the Browns.

<h2>Parsons could be the heir to Garrett’s throne</h2>



Garrett is 30-years old, while Parsons is just 26, entering his prime. Parsons has 65 sacks already in his career and his lowest number of sacks in a season is 12, a number he already overcame in 2025.



He is a four-time Pro Bowler and a two-time first team All Pro. When Garrett’s time passes, he is undoubtedly the guy who could become a Hall of Famer one day. For now, it’s all about respect, as Parsons said.

Andy Reid and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> announced that cornerback Chris Roland-Wallace (ankle) and wide receiver Nikko Remigio (shoulder) are out for the Week 14 game against the Houston Texans.



The Chiefs have a 6-6 record, so they need to win their five remaining matchups and hope for help from the Bills, Jaguars, and Chargers in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.



Winning the AFC West already seems like an impossible mission for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and his teammates, considering that the Denver Broncos would have to lose four of their five remaining games.



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



It’s important to remember that left tackle Josh Simmons was placed on injured reserve due to a wrist fracture, so he will be out for at least a month with the Kansas City Chiefs. The big question is who will be available on the offensive line.


 

 


In Friday’s injury report, the Chiefs listed Trey Smith and Jawaan Taylor as doubtful, which means Patrick Mahomes could be without three key pieces to protect him while facing one of the best defenses in the NFL.



In what could be good news for adding depth at the wide receiver position, Jalen Royals could be back for the game against Houston. By the way, although Patrick Mahomes appears on the report with knee issues, the quarterback will play at Arrowhead Stadium.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> need to make key decisions regarding their quarterback situation. One of those has to do with Kyler Murray and a small factor that could actually save the team $19.5 million.



This appears to be an imminent divorce between the Cardinals and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Murray</a>. On Friday, the Cardinals officially announced that Murray won’t play again this year. The contract situation states that the Cardinals owe Murray $39.8 million fully guaranteed for next season.



NBC News reported that if Murray stays on the roster for the fifth day of the 2026 league year, the Cardinals would owe $19.5 million more to the quarterback. Hence, the Cardinals need Murray to be healthy before the day the guarantee vests. This is key because if he isn’t healthy, they can’t save that money.



<h2>Jacoby Brissett hasn’t been as big of a downgrade</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brissett</a> has played very well this season to be fair. Even if the team isn’t winning, Brissett has not been the one to blame. He is completing 67.5% for 2,188 yards and 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251205_BUS_540149_jacoby-brissett_195f5792.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals" class="wp-image-507635" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals</figcaption></figure>



The Cardinals need to solve their quarterback situation not because Brissett is bad, but because they need an elite talent. Brissett’s downfall is that everybody knows his ceiling, he won’t take the franchise to new heights. To be fair though, Murray has failed to do that as well.

<h2>This has happened for four-straight years</h2>



In 2022, the Raiders shut down Derek Carr to minimize future financial commitments, In 2023, the Broncos did the same with Russell Wilson and last year, the Giants did it with Daniel Jones. This is the fourth year in a row where a team sits a quarterback in hopes of saving money.



A trade also remains possible but that would mean the Cardinals would have to pay a big part of the $39.5 million that Murray would earn in 2026. Instead, they would rather cut him, which would allow him to sign a veteran minimum contract while the rest of the money is paid by Arizona.

Mike Tomlin and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> confirmed that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> will be their starting quarterback in the Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Despite the hard hit he took from Joey Bosa last Sunday, the veteran will be ready.



Rodgers was listed as a full participant in Thursday’s and Friday’s practices, so he won’t have any issues playing in Baltimore. However, the big question is how much the fracture in his left wrist will affect him again.



If the Steelers want to stay in the playoff race, the two remaining games against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a> and the Ravens are key to determining who wins the AFC North. Otherwise, the wild-card race looks like an impossible path.



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



Kyle Duggar suffered a hand injury with the Pittsburgh Steelers and is officially out for the game against the Baltimore Ravens. A tough blow for the secondary heading into one of the key matchups of the season.


 

 


The safety has had a big impact since his arrival to the Steelers after a trade with the New England Patriots. Following the departure of Minkah Fitzpatrick, Duggar had been the answer to finding a reliable replacement.



Another piece of bad news for the Steelers is that Derrick Harmon is out with a knee injury he has not recovered from. His absence is significant because Pittsburgh has struggled heavily to stop the running game. Now, the challenge is massive against Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.
