<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Drake Maye</a> is putting up MVP-caliber numbers week after week, and New England Patriots fans are fully aware of it. After a big Week 11 win over the New York Jets, the young quarterback finally addressed whether he agrees with the praise coming his way.



In the 27–14 victory, Maye once again showcased his poise and efficiency. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patriots</a> fans at Gillette Stadium erupted with “MVP” chants every time the offense took the field — but Maye continues to deflect the attention.



“I think it was a big time for him stepping up, and it’s been great for him to get all these reps, to keep getting these reps,” Maye said about the MVP chants being for rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson, via a transcript from the team. “He wants to be great. He’s just showing up every day and asking questions. Get out here, rookie. Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, I think just continuing for him to keep going the oncoming weeks and know that him and Mondre and our backs, we can create a good one-two thing going. Looking forward to have Mondre back, but TreVeyon stepped up huge.”



<h2>Drake Maye can’t avoid the MVP conversation much longer</h2>



If there’s a team shocking the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> this season, it’s New England. Few expected the Patriots to return to contention so quickly, especially with a second-year quarterback and a new head coach at the helm.



But Mike Vrabel has completely transformed the franchise. His system has unlocked Drake Maye’s full potential, and that pairing has proven to be a winning formula.



On Thursday night, Maye delivered another elite performance, finishing with a 73.5% completion rate, 281 yards, one touchdown, and a 107.6 QB rating. At this point, those numbers almost feel routine.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/terry-bradshaw-refuses-to-call-tom-brady-the-goat-makes-surprising-pick-instead"></div>


Through 11 weeks, Maye has been one of the most dominant quarterbacks in the league. He leads the NFL in passing yards (2,836) and completion percentage (71.9%), is tied with Jared Goff for the most passing touchdowns (20), and owns the sixth-best QB rating (113.2 among qualified QBs).



Last week, after the road win over the Buccaneers, Maye also heard MVP chants and jokingly claimed they were for Baker Mayfield. But with the way he’s playing, it’s clear who the fans are really cheering for.



<h2>What’s next for the Patriots?</h2>



At 9–2, the Patriots currently hold the best record in the NFL (with the rest of Week 11 still to be played). And their path only gets smoother before their Week 14 bye.



New England is set to face the Bengals and the Giants — two matchups in which the Patriots could realistically extend their win total. If everything goes their way, they could head into the bye with an impressive 11–2 record.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley">Saquon Barkley</a> is not having his best season following last year’s Super Bowl victory, but the issue extends beyond him, as the entire Philadelphia Eagles offense has struggled to consistently put up points. The running back himself revealed what they are doing to improve the situation.



John Clark of NBC Sports shared Barkley’s recent comments. “Saquon Barkley says the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> always have conversations about getting the offense better. He says no matter if they score 10 points or 40 points, they are trying to find ways to be better,” Clark wrote on X.



The clear objective is to demonstrate that things can and will improve, starting with their next game. “He says a lot of times if they only score 10 points like they did Monday night, they will lose. The focus is on being better offensively against the Lions.”



<h2>Offensive coordinator agrees with Barkley</h2>



In recent comments, Eagles Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo was asked whether wide receiver A.J. Brown’s struggles were due to difficult opposing defensive lines. Patullo avoided mentioning the player directly, but affirmed that overall, the unit has been working hard to improve.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">AJ Brown’s main point was that he believes the Eagles offense needs to be better and he wants to help it be better.

“I think if you look at the style of defense we’ve played this year kind of on a consistent basis, we’ve played top-tier defenses in the pass rush and things like that. We’ve done a pretty good job against them…” Patullo said.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/saquon-barkley-net-worth"></div>


“I wouldn’t say it’s the same thing every week. I think we’re kind of in those spots where when you’re game planning, you’re still constantly adjusting. I know this year more than before, we’ve had a lot of different things once we get out there and we’re adjusting constantly.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Flacco</a> has posted solid numbers as Joe Burrow’s replacement despite the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a>’ 3–6 record. Now, the veteran quarterback has sent a message to Burrow ahead of his imminent return.



When <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a> suffered a turf toe injury, the Bengals acted quickly and signed Joe Flacco to take over. With Burrow expected to return in the coming weeks, Flacco will soon be relegated to the QB2 role.



Flacco knows he’ll lose the starting job once Burrow is cleared, but he isn’t focused on that. Instead, he’s locked in on getting as many wins as possible while he remains under center.



<h2>Joe Flacco makes one thing clear to the Bengals ahead of Joe Burrow’s return</h2>



Joe Flacco has stepped up as the Bengals’ starter following Burrow’s injury, and despite the team’s 3–6 record, the veteran has played well.



The offense has found rhythm with Flacco leading it, while the defense has struggled. Because of that, some Bengals fans are hesitant to move on from a productive Flacco.



However, once Burrow is healthy, there’s no doubt he’ll return to the starting role. Still, Flacco isn’t spending time worrying about when he’ll be benched in favor of Burrow.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/best-cincinnati-bengals-legends"></div>


“I think that was the last thing that was on my mind. I was like, ‘All right, I’m playing this week, let’s go.’ And then just going from there,” Flacco said about Burrrow’s return, via the team’s website. “I’m honestly not really thinking about it. It’s not really a part of my process. I really don’t care. It’s this week and that’s all that matters. I think to think about that stuff would be a distraction.”



<h2>When will Joe Burrow return?</h2>



When Burrow went down in Week 2, alarms immediately sounded across Cincinnati. The team had lost its franchise quarterback — but his recovery has progressed faster than expected.



Originally, Burrow was projected to return in early December. Now, the timeline suggests he could be ready by late November, potentially in time for the Thanksgiving matchup against the Ravens.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> will play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11 as they seek a bounce-back win following last week’s embarrassing defeat. The starting quarterback will be Brock Purdy, leaving Mac Jones on the sideline.



Shanahan delivered a range of news on KNBR, including confirmation that the 49ers have Purdy ready to play and will use him against the Cardinals. He also <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/kyle-shanahan-confirms-when-ricky-pearsall-will-return-for-the-49ers">confirmed when Rickey Pearsall will be available to play</a>. For now, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones">Jones</a> will remain the QB2.



“Kyle Shanahan on KNBR said that he thought of activating <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a> last week, but this week’s two main practices — ft. no pain in Purdy’s toe — have fully convinced the 49ers to bring back QB1: ‘No point in messing around. It’s time to go,’” wrote David Lombardi, reporting Shanahan’s comments.



<h2>Purdy revealed what happened against Jacksonville</h2>



Everyone remembers that Purdy was made available ‘too soon’ ahead of schedule for the game against Jacksonville, where his injury unfortunately recurred. However, he revealed that he felt fine leading up to the game, but the opposing defense was responsible for his injury returning.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">BROCK PURDY: "It&apos;s been frustrating. Going into year four, I wanted to come in and play the best ball of my career." <a href="https://t.co/uPs4S1gbeX">pic.twitter.com/uPs4S1gbeX</a>— KNBR (@KNBR) <a href="https://twitter.com/KNBR/status/1989117229905150370?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



“No. Going into that week I felt good. I really did. I thought I was going to be good to go. I just unfortunately got caught in a bad position with my toe again and it just reaggravated it,” Purdy said in a recent press conference.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/brock-purdy-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Mac Jones available if needed</h2>



Jones will obviously be watching closely to see how Purdy feels during the game against the Cardinals. Jones has done an exceptional job as a starter so far (5-3-0, 2,151 yards, 13 TDs, 6 INTs), and analysts hold him in high regard, as highlighted by Greg Cosell.



“Right now the 49ers offense is very condensed, which I think makes Mac Jones’ numbers a little deceptive. He’s played very, very well for what he is… The longest pass play was 22 yards. There’s no real verticality to their pass game,” Cosell stated.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-shanahan">Kyle Shanahan</a> will have new offensive weapons available this week for the San Francisco 49ers, one of whom is Ricky Pearsall, who will finally be back for the Week 11 game against the Cardinals. It is refreshing news for the offensive line.



Shanahan spoke with KNBR, where he revealed that Pearsall will be ready for this week. As early as November 12, the head coach had been notified by the training staff that the wide receiver was ready to return.



On November 12, Pearsall was also seen running in practice, though in a limited capacity, showing improvement. Matt Lively reported on X: “Ricky Pearsall is back at practice, cuts here and tests his knee. Limited today.” The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">49ers</a> now have one of their best wide receivers back.



<h2>Pearsall says he feels good</h2>



In his most recent statement, Pearsall said he is starting to feel like the player everyone was accustomed to seeing: “I started feeling like myself probably just this week. Anytime I start feeling like myself that’s when I’m ready to go.”



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">“I started feeling like myself probably just this week.

With Pearsall back and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/49ers-announce-their-pick-between-mac-jones-and-brock-purdy-for-the-cardinals-matchup">49ers having confirmed the starter between Purdy and Jones</a>, the team regains a player who knows the offense well. He is likely to contribute against the Cardinals as expected, potentially adding some decisive receiving yards.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/kyle-shanahan-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The 49ers’ situation heading into Week 11</h2>



The 49ers’ record stands at 6-4, placing them currently outside the Wild Card race heading into Week 11. However, they have more than enough time to climb the standings and steal one of those spots. 



For now, the fight in the NFC West is tougher than anticipated, with both the Rams and Seahawks sitting at 7-2, making the situation complicated but far from hopeless.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> continued their good moment in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season with a 28-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. The Pats made a statement at Raymond James Stadium, confirming that they are back and ready to compete.&nbsp;



Second-year Drake Maye went 16 of 31 for 270 yards and two touchdowns. He added seven carries for 13 yards. Running back TreVeyon Henderson led the running game with 14 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns.&nbsp;



The Patriots are one of the biggest stories of the season, and they aren’t stopping anytime soon. Maye has drawn plenty of praise for his performances and one analyst thinks he played so well against the Bucs that it affected the opposing quarterback.&nbsp;



<h2>Colin Cowherd makes bold claim about Drake Maye’s performance vs. Buccaneers&nbsp;</h2>



During Sunday’s episode of “The Colin Cowherd Podcast,” the analyst said that Maye’s performance affected Mayfield’s play.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251113_BUS_526446_drake-maye-qb-new-england-patriots-1024x576_381c97d5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Drake Maye of the Patriots looks on before a game." class="wp-image-390272" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye of the Patriots looks on before a game.</figcaption></figure>



“You know what I noticed in this game? This just may be me. But it was almost like Drake Maye was in Baker’s head,” Cowherd said. “Baker has a lot of confidence, and Drake Maye is just making plays, and he’s making big throws, and they take a lead. It’s in Tampa, and it’s Baker’s house. 



And Baker was running more than he should run. Baker was doing a little too much to me, running around in the pocket, looking for the big play downfield. Now, Tampa’s a big-play offense, but watching that game, watching Drake Maye, I kept asking myself, is New England the best team in the AFC?”



Maye has drawn MVP buzz amid the Patriots’ 8-2 season. They remain one of the best teams in the AFC, and nobody knows what their ceiling is.

Daniel Jones has become one of the biggest stories of the 2025 NFL season. After a tumultuous six-year tenure with the New York Giants, the veteran quarterback joined the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Indianapolis Colts </a>in the offseason.&nbsp;



After winning the race to start in Indianapolis, Jones took the league by storm. He has led the Colts to an 8-2 record and the top seed in the AFC by playing at a high level behind an offensive line that does a solid job protecting him.&nbsp;



Jones’ remarkable performances have convinced the Colts that he is their franchise quarterback. They already moved on from Anthony Richardson and are now solely focused on retaining Jones for the long run.&nbsp;



<h2>Insider shares Daniel Jones’ potential payday with Colts&nbsp;</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> insider Jeremy Fowler listed Jones as the third-best free agent for the 2026 offseason. While noting that the Colts’ offense allows Jones to play at the best level, he added that the quarterback could emulate what Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold did in prior seasons.&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_20251113_BUS_526445_Daniel-Jones-QB1-for-the-Indianapolis-Colts_51b72c15.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Daniel Jones, QB1 for the Indianapolis Colts" class="wp-image-522958"></figure></figure>



“Jones has a chance to become the biggest earner in the free agency class,” Fowler wrote. “The Colts appear all-in on keeping Jones long term, and they have comps for former top-10 picks who thrived when quarterbacking a new team: Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, who each earned three-year deals worth around $100 million. Jones would totally be justified asking for that … with interest.”



Coincidentally, Mayfield and Darnold bounced around the league trying to find their place. Mayfield settled with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Darnold with the Seattle Seahawks, landing big contracts in the process. Jones has the numbers to ask for something similar.&nbsp;

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Indianapolis Colts</a> (8-2) lead the AFC ahead of Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season. The AFC South team has surprised the entire league, as nobody pictured them leading their division, let alone the entire conference, after 10 weeks.&nbsp;



Daniel Jones has played his best football to date, going 223 of 319 for 2,659 yards and 15 touchdowns against seven interceptions. He has added 143 yards on 40 carries for five touchdowns.&nbsp;



Jonathan Taylor has taken the league by storm, as well, leading the league in carries (189), yards (1,139), and touchdowns (15) after 10 games. He has been a solid pass catcher, too, recording 30 receptions on 32 targets for 260 yards and two touchdowns.&nbsp;



The Colts have everything to shock the world this campaign and make a deep playoff run, but not everybody thinks they are capable of sustaining this level of performance for the rest of the season.&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst says Colts will lose AFC’s No. 1 seed to Chiefs&nbsp;</h2>



Ali Bhanpuri of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.com predicts the Colts to deflate (no pun intended) a little in the second half of the season. The analyst believes Indianapolis will lose its No. 1 seed to the Kansas City Chiefs.&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_20251113_BUS_526444_Daniel-Jones-QB1-for-the-Indianapolis-Colts_0d150475.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Daniel Jones, QB1 for the Indianapolis Colts" class="wp-image-522958"></figure></figure>



“Week 12 will go poorly for Indy. The Chiefs are 4-1 at Arrowhead this season, and, at 5-4 (2-3 in conference play), Kansas City will be desperate to secure more signature AFC wins,” Bhanpuri wrote.&nbsp;



Bhanpuri projects the Colts to finish with a 12-5 record and the No. 4 seed in the conference, behind the Chiefs (13-4), the New England Patriots (13-4) and the Baltimore Ravens (12-5).

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals </a>have had a rocky 2025 NFL season. After a promising 2-0 start, they lost five consecutive games before they upset the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. They came back to reality on Sunday, when the Seattle Seahawks dismantled them in a 44-22 loss at Lumen Field.&nbsp;



The Cardinals are one of those teams with intriguing pieces that can’t elevate their game. They have seen their divisional rivals improve season after season, while they remain the weakest squad in the NFC West.&nbsp;



Kyler Murray’s future appears to be up in the air after seven seasons with the franchise. Jonathan Gannon could leave the franchise if the season doesn’t improve, and one would imagine that they would blow it up to start a new rebuilding.



Marvin Harrison Jr. struggled at the start of the campaign, but found a footing by the weeks. He is part of the team’s future plans, but it seems like he isn’t in the best situation to shine.&nbsp;



<h2>Trey McBride could make NFL history this season</h2>



Star tight end Trey McBride, playing his fourth campaign in the league, is one of the few bright spots the Cardinals have had this season. The Colorado State product has become one of the most reliable players in his position, and his numbers this season are a testament to how important he is for the Cardinals.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251113_BUS_526443_Trey-McBride-1-1024x576_ad8d1b15.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-369930" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>McBride</figcaption></figure>



NFL researcher Dante Koplowitz-Fleming shared on Tuesday that McBride leads the Cardinals in offensive touches, scrimmage yards and scrimmage touchdowns in 2025. He could be the first tight end in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>history to lead his team in all three categories in a season.&nbsp;



In nine games this campaign, McBride has recorded 61 receptions on 88 targets for 603 yard and six touchdowns. He came off his best season in 2024, but this one could be better if he continues to deliver.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a>‘ head-coaching job is an intriguing opportunity for many around and outside the league. After Brian Daboll’s firing on Monday, many names have been mentioned as potential candidates to take over the “Big Blue.”



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a>, who has a successful story with the franchise, could be one of those getting attention for the job. He has been out of the league for nearly two years now, but his experience and knowledge would be attractive to the NFC East squad.&nbsp;



Other current and former coaches, such as Jon Gruden and Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, have been mentioned as potential candidates, too. Still, Belichick has found support in one of his former players.&nbsp;



<h2>Julian Edelman endorses Bill Belichick for Giants’ head-coaching job&nbsp;</h2>



On Monday, the three-time Super Bowl champion made the case for his former coach, who is currently coaching the North Carolina Tar Heels in college football.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251113_BUS_526447_bill-belichick-10-1024x576_be31a806.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Head Coach Bill Belichick of the North Carolina Tar Heels." class="wp-image-488051" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head Coach Bill Belichick of the North Carolina Tar Heels.</figcaption></figure>



“There’s a team down in Chapel Hill that is playing a little better,” Edelman said on his “Games With Names” podcast on Monday. “What if the Giants brought in Bill Belichick? He f**king loves them. We all know that. Guy shed a single tear every time we played there. The only time I saw him get happy. We talked about LT (Lawrence Taylor). I don’t know, the Giants really don’t make, like, crazy hires like that. Maybe because they did an in-season change, they’re changing their way a little.”



Belichick won two Super Bowls with the Giants, and he reportedly loves the franchise. Perhaps a reunion would be in the cards for the front office, but he’s not the only one drawing attention for the job.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> visit the Los Angeles Rams. Two NFC West teams who are also 7-2 will surely be the best game of Week 11 of the NFL season. However, there’s more to meet the eye. A former Super Bowl MVP with one team is now playing for the other side and he spoke up about the meaning of this game.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cooper-kupp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cooper Kupp</a> won the Super Bowl MVP when he played for the Rams and they won against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was thanks to Kupp, who not only had 99 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, but also had the game-winning touchdown.



Now, Kupp plays for the Seahawks and they visit his former team. Usually, this revenge games come with ill-will, but for Kupp, “It’s&nbsp;another football game. You get out there, play your game. I love these guys, I love so many of the guys over there, but at the end of the day, you’ve to go play a football game, so that’s going to be what it is.”



<h2>Kupp was special with the Rams</h2>



Kupp played eight years with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rams</a> and he was nothing short of spectacular. He averaged 1,271.1 yards per 17 games with the Rams, he scored 57 touchdowns and grabbed 634 receptions. He won the receiving triple crown in 2021, the same year where he won Super Bowl MVP.

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/analyst-notes-key-detail-in-seahawks-dominant-win-over-cardinals"></div>


<h2>Kupp’s role with Seattle is very different</h2>



When the Rams had Kupp, he was an absolute workhorse. He had plenty of targets and the offense relied on him. Now in Seattle, the Seahawks already have a workhorse in Jaxon Smith-Njigba.



Hence, Kupp’s role is more of a second fiddle but the Seahawks also use him a lot with one of his most underrated skills: blocking. Kupp is arguably the best blocker of any wide receiver in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. He is good, tough and disciplined when blocking.

Cris Collinsworth made an unexpected comment about Darnell Washington and his role with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> during the Sunday Night Football broadcast of the game against the Los Angeles Chargers.



“With this guy, you go, I don’t really want to hit that coming down there, but Aaron Rodgers, you can tell the way he talks about it, they were trying to move him to tackle and I don’t think Aaron let it happen. Like he knew what he had.”



Days later, when Brooke Pryor asked <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> if what Collinsworth said was true, the quarterback gave a forceful response, denying that he had any influence over where Washington should play. “That’s not my recollection at all. No.”



<h2>What position does Darnell Washington play?</h2>



Darnell Washington plays as a tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers in a group that, due to offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s system, is very deep with Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, and Connor Heyward.


 

 


Despite his large size and being an important target, the reality is that Washington’s numbers this season have been very modest, like the rest of the team’s tight ends: 14 receptions, 142 yards, and one touchdown.



Throughout the season, Rodgers has had to distribute the ball between wide receivers and tight ends because DK Metcalf has been heavily covered by his opponents. The big problem is that with these other players, there have been almost no big splashes.

Bad news for Justin Fields: the New York Jets are reportedly placing wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/garrett-wilson">Garrett Wilson</a> on Injured Reserve, leaving their star pass catcher out for a minimum of four weeks.



The news was reported by several NFL insiders, including Mike Garafolo, Adam Schefter, and Ian Rapoport. This leaves the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">Jets</a> with the following healthy wide receivers on their updated depth chart: 



<ul><li>Arian Smith</li><li>Isaiah Williams</li><li>Adonai Mitchell </li><li>Allen Lazard</li><li>Tyler Johnson</li><li>John Metchie III</li></ul>



<h2>Which games will Fields, Jets play without Wilson?</h2>



The first game the Jets will play without Wilson is the Week 11 Thursday Night Football showdown against division rivals New England Patriots. With the team stuck at the bottom of the AFC East, it will probably be a significant loss for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a> and company.

Wilson’s presence on IR means the 2-7 Jets will also miss the wideout for the Week 12 road game against the Baltimore Ravens, the Week 13 home clash against the Atlanta Falcons, and the Week 14 showdown against division rivals Miami Dolphins, also at MetLife Stadium. However, depending on his recovery, Wilson could miss even more games as well.

<h2>Why is Garrett Wilson not playing for the Jets?</h2>



Wilson injured his right knee against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, an area he had already hurt in Week 6 and caused him to miss two games before returning in Week 10. Now, this knee sprain will keep him on the sidelines for even longer.

The relationship between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> is starting to become the target of criticism, as the team appears to be headed toward another mediocre season with a 9-8 or 8-9 record, with a possible early exit in the playoffs — or perhaps worse.



However, according to Mike Florio during an interview with 93.7 The Fan, not even a losing season appears likely to put Tomlin’s future as the team’s head coach at risk.



“I haven’t sensed that there’s any appetite for making a change and, anytime I sniff around on that, the immediate answer is there’s no way, no how, that Art Rooney is going to do it.”



<h2>Are Steelers going to fire Mike Tomlin?</h2>



Mike Florio notes that the chances of the Steelers firing Mike Tomlin are very low because owner Art Rooney II wants to preserve the team’s blueprint of keeping its head coaches for a long time. Since 1969, they’ve only had three: Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Tomlin.


 

 


<h2>Is Tomlin going to leave the Steelers?</h2>



Mike Tomlin could leave the Steelers, but Florio mentions that this would only happen at the head coach’s own initiative. For example, regarding the rumors linking him to the Giants after Brian Daboll’s departure, the insider says there is less than a 1 percent chance of that happening. Tomlin will stay in Pittsburgh.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-makes-something-clear-about-steelers-offensive-struggles"></div>


“They’re the team with three coaches since 1969. It’s going to take a lot to make a change. Tomlin would have to want to go. That’s the other side of it too. He does have control of it. It’s not like trading a player. Tomlin’s got to want to do it and the Steelers have to want to do it.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> understands that DK Metcalf hasn’t had the expected production for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> because, week after week, teams are putting double coverage on him. For that reason, the quarterback sent a loud and clear message: the rest of the wide receivers need to step up.



“I would expect them to do it (put double coverage on Metcalf). DK is an A-receiver. He’s a dominant player and we need to find ways, even when he’s getting doubled, to give him more targets. But, when they double him and the way they doubled him the other night, there are not as many opportunities as you might think. Other guys got to get open and make plays because DK is a super talented guy, but, we haven’t been able to get him the targets that we want to because he’s getting doubled every third down basically.”



The big question is what would have happened if the Steelers hadn’t traded George Pickens to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a>. General manager Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin believed that Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson were ready to fill in, but that hasn’t been the case.



<h2>Steelers Will Get Wide Receiver Back Against Bengals</h2>



The good news for the Pittsburgh Steelers is that Scotty Miller will be back for the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Another option available for the offense led by Rodgers.


 

 


“Scotty runs fast and he catches the ball. He’s an unselfish guy and he’s super smart. He knows his scheme and understands where he fits on all the progressions.”



The Steelers have a 5-4 record and sit atop the AFC North, but given the difficulty of their schedule, the Ravens (4-5) are now the divisional favorites for oddsmakers following Lamar Jackson’s return.
