The Kansas City Chiefs added a big weapon for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> by trading for DeAndre Hopkins last week, and it didn’t take long for Andy Reid to send the wide receiver to the field. On Sunday, the 32-year-old made his first appearance on a Chiefs uniform during the 27-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8 of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.



D-Hop was targeted three times by Mahomes, making two catches for 29 yards. Those numbers may not be so impressive, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> quarterback made it clear that he loved Hopkins’ performance.



“I thought he did a great job,” Mahomes said of Hopkins’ debut, via Sports Illustrated. “Obviously [on] third down, he had the big catch early in the game and then he had a couple of other big plays. I missed him on the one corner route early, but [he] still got open. And then as I looked back at the tablet, there were a couple of times where in man coverage, he was just really working and winning. Even the touchdown to Trav (Travis Kelce) I threw, if you look back on his side, he’s open too for a touchdown there.”



Not only did Mahomes like what he saw from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins">Hopkins</a> at the Allegiant Stadium, but the Chiefs star also vowed to create more opportunities for his new teammate as the 2024 NFL season advances.

“Now that you see that – obviously, I know the type of player he is – but you see that on the field, it shows that if they’re going to play man coverage against him, he’s going to get open. I have to give him chances to go out there and make plays,” Mahomes said.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-bill-belichick-jabs-patriots-over-joshua-uche-trade-with-big-prediction-for-andy-reid-chiefs"></div>


<h2>Mahomes compares Hopkins with Travis Kelce, JuJu Smith-Schuster</h2>



Hopkins’ first catch on a Chiefs uniform came in the team’s opening drive, and it allowed Mahomes to keep possession to eventually find the end zone. On third-and-seven, Hopkins made a 13-yard catch to keep things going in offense.



“Honestly, it’s high-level stuff,” Mahomes said. “Just because it was zone coverage, they kind of were in the right spot, he pulled up in the right window, stuff you see Trav (Travis Kelce) do a lot [and] you see JuJu (Smith-Schuster) do a lot. I was able to throw the ball and I’ve kind of talked about it a little bit, he has good body language when he runs routes so you can kind of tell what he’s going to do before he does it.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-patrick-mahomes-sends-clear-message-to-travis-kelce-chiefs-teammates-after-perfect-start"></div>


“We had only practiced that play I think once, maybe twice. For third down in that situation, for him to run it and be in the right position, it shows that he’s going to fit in perfectly in this offense.”



<h2>Reid expects Mahomes to find Hopkins more often</h2>



Hopkins’ debut has also drawn praise from the head coach, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-makes-big-promise-to-deandre-hopkins-after-debut-with-patrick-mahomes-chiefs">Andy Reid promising D-Hop</a> he’ll be even more involved next time: “Yeah, listen, I thought it was good. He wanted to be in there, which is a positive and I understand. He’ll get more chances the next game.“



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-add-another-wr-apart-from-deandre-hopkins">Chiefs have added another wide receiver apart from Hopkins</a> by promoting Montrell Washington from the practice squad, but the former Tennessee Titans creates more expectations than any other player on the WR room.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott</a> is facing several challenges this 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. Amid his struggles, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> owner Jerry Jones has shared why the quarterback adjusted his gameplay this year.



It has not been a stellar season for the Cowboys. Expectations were high for the NFC East club before the season started, but so far, they have not fully met them so far.



For many analysts, Dak Prescott has lacked dominance this year. However, Jerry Jones has a straightforward explanation, detailing why Prescott chose to change his gameplay approach this season.



<h2>Jerry Jones highlights key change in Dak Prescott’s gameplay</h2>



The Cowboys are not in their best form. Despite a talented roster, the team has struggled to meet preseason objectives, drifting further from their targets as the season progresses.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-cowboys-cb-trevon-diggs-speaks-out-after-heated-exchange-with-reporter-post-49ers-loss"></div>


<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jerry Jones</a>, both owner and general manager, has worked to build a competitive roster around Dak Prescott. However, the offense has faced numerous issues, and the team is struggling on both sides of the ball.



For Prescott, this season has been notably different. As the highest-paid quarterback in the league, there is immense pressure on him to deliver a standout year and justify his contract extension.



Prescott has indeed made a huge change in his gameplay this season. The quarterback is running less than in previous campaigns, and Jerry Jones has now shared the reasoning behind this shift.



<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_20241029_BUS_261948_Jerry-Jones-5-1024x576_220e5a82.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jerry Jones Dallas Cowboys" class="wp-image-257396" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Jerry-Jones-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Jerry-Jones-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Jerry-Jones-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Jerry-Jones-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Jerry-Jones-5-740x416.jpg 740w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Jerry-Jones-5-490x275.jpg 490w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Jerry-Jones-5-250x140.jpg 250w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Jerry-Jones-5.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones walks the field before the game against the New York Giants at AT&amp;T Stadium on November 12, 2023 in Arlington, Texas.</figcaption></figure>



“You really don’t want to see him really take off with that ball,” Jones told 105.3 The Fan. “These quarterbacks that run, you know they’re going to get injured. And that happens. It happens to the youngest, it happens to the best. It has happened to Dak. … I wouldn’t say it’s up there in red letters in the practice facility: ‘Don’t run.’ But I would say that we want him to be smart about it, and he is being smart about it. … I don’t want to see him take those kinds of hits.”



<h2>What is Dak Prescott’s contract with the Dallas Cowboys?</h2>



Dak Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million contract extension with the Cowboys before the 2024 season. This deal, averaging $60 million annually, makes Prescott the highest-paid player in the NFL by annual value​.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-fred-warner-alerts-49ers-teammates-despite-victory-over-cowboys"></div>


This extension comes after a four-year, $160 million contract signed in 2021. Prescott, with several playoff runs but a 2-5 postseason record, remains central to Dallas’s ambitions for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> success.

With only a few days left until the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> trade deadline, teams are finalizing potential trades for players on their rosters. Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni made his stance clear regarding his thoughts on the team and whether he believes any areas of the roster need reinforcement.



Following a solid 37-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, the Eagles boast a comfortable record of five wins and two losses, occasionally showcasing a high level of competitive play. This raises the indication that significant changes to the roster may not be necessary.



Regarding this situation, it was none other than head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nick-sirianni">Nick Sirianni</a> who spoke with the media and expressed the following: “I love the team that we have,” the HC said via the team’s official website.



“And I think this team is really coming together. With that being said, I know we’re always looking for ways to improve our team. I know [GM] Howie [Roseman] is the best at that — of always, always, always, looking at ways he can improve the football team. I admire that and value that of how he goes to work there,” Sirianni also added.

Nonetheless, the coach emphasized that there’s no need to wait for the trade deadline for his team to have a successful season: “But like I said, love the guys that we have,” Sirianni continued. “I think we’re coming together really nicely as a team. But we’ll see how this next week plays out.”

<h2>The repercussions following the victory over the Bengals</h2>



The significant victory last weekend achieved by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> against the perennial contenders, the Cincinnati Bengals, sparked an intriguing exchange between safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and star WR Ja’Marr Chase: “This ain’t the back end you want to play with,” Gardner-Johnson said.



Additionally, the safety praised and acknowledged the efforts of all his teammates during the game: “We’re a back end that’s feisty, we love to play ball, and we’re not going to take anything for granted and we understand what type of competitors we go against,” Gardner-Johnson said. “So we’re not shying (away) from nobody.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-make-yet-another-big-trade-to-continue-helping-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes">Kansas City Chiefs made yet another big trade</a> to continue helping Andy Reid by getting former New England Patriots pass rusher Joshua Uche on Monday. It didn’t take long for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> world to react, with Bill Belichick sharing his thoughts on the deal.



Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, the legendary head coach tooke some shots at his former team. While Belichick suggested the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> got Uche for a bargain, the 6x Super Bowl champion with the Patriots also believes the change of scenery will help the player get back to his best, claiming that the situation in New England hasn’t helped Uche in the 2024 NFL season.



“Honestly, they (Chiefs) didn’t give up anything in my mind, and then if you like the player and re-sign him, then you re-sign him,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Belichick</a> said. “Look, Josh Uche’s a really good rusher. He hasn’t had a chance to rush much this year for the Patriots because they’ve been behind a lot and the situation hasn’t been good, but he had a big year two years ago.



“Now, he had [Matthew] Judon on the other side of him, so it was two good pass rushers, but he’ll have a lot of opportunities to rush in Kansas City. I think that he’ll really help them. He’s got surprising power for his size, he’s got excellent quickness and a good get-off, and he has some flexibility in coverage. So, I think it’s a good addition for a team that needs another pass rusher, which everybody does. Josh can do that. He’ll definitely help them.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">Patriots</a> only received a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft from the Chiefs in exchange of Uche. Two years after recording a career-high 11.5 sacks, the pass rusher will be looking to rediscover his best form with none other than the defending Super Bowl champions.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-makes-big-promise-to-deandre-hopkins-after-debut-with-patrick-mahomes-chiefs"></div>


<h2>Reid happy with Chiefs getting Uche from the Patriots</h2>



Belichick, of course, is not the only one who expects Uche to shine for the Chiefs. Speaking to reporters on Monday, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a> also explained how the defensive end/linebacker can help the defense.


 

 


“It helps the secondary any pressure you can put on the quarterback,” Reid said, via NESN. “We’re going to add another guy in here with (Joshua) Uche. (Chiefs general manager Brett) Veach has made a trade with the Patriots. So that will be a nice addition, too, going forward. We understand you take care of business up front, it helps everybody.”



<h2>The Chiefs’ moves to make room for Uche</h2>



The Chiefs were able to include Uche on their 53-man roster by placing tight end Jody Fortson on Injured Reserve. While that move left <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-lose-another-weapon-to-tough-injury">Reid and Mahomes without another weapon</a>, it allowed the team to immediately activate its newest arrival.



Kansas City had already prepared to make room for a new signing with a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-make-smart-and-necessary-move-to-help-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-with-another-trade">smart and necessary move</a> last week. Shortly after getting DeAndre Hopkins, the Chiefs created $5.3 million in cap space by restructuring right tackle Jawaan Taylor’s contract.

The Baltimore Ravens are 5-3 in the 2024 NFL season after a loss to the Cleveland Browns and are looking to improve their offence, led by quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a>, with a former Pittsburgh Steelers star receiver to help him out.



With the playoffs just a few games away, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">National Football League</a> teams are looking to strengthen their squads in order to achieve the best possible results. With that in mind, the Ravens have not only refined their tactics, but have also set about improving their offensive zone in order to increase the 242 points they have scored so far in the season.



The player joining in a big trade for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> to help Jackson is none other than wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who comes from the Carolina Panthers for a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter.



Johnson is in his sixth professional season and joined the Panthers in the off-season after five years with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a>. The 28-year-old wide receiver has appeared in seven games for the Carolina franchise this season, recording 30 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns.

<h2>Ravens HC John Harbaugh announces changes to defense</h2>



Johnson’s addition to the Ravens is an offensive upgrade that will help Jackson in his quest to go deep this season and win the MVP trophy. However, head coach Harbaugh is considering making changes to address the Baltimore franchise’s poor defensive record this season.



The Ravens have conceded at least 25 points in each of their games, and Harbaugh has reacted strongly to the gift, especially after defeats to the Cleveland Browns. “We’re going to continue to turn over every stone with our defense and with every other part of our team, too, to get as good as we can get it over the course of a long season. I am very confident that we will make moves in the future,” the Ravens head coach said in press conference.

Although the Houston Texans wrapped up Week 8 of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> on a high note with their victory over the Indianapolis Colts, the negative aspect of the day came with the injury to a key player for CJ Stroud.



The player in question is none other than WR <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stefon-diggs">Stefon Diggs</a>, who had to leave the field during the game against the Colts due to a serious knee injury. It was later confirmed that he will miss the remainder of the season.



The news was confirmed by journalist Ian Rapoport through his X account (formerly Twitter): “Texans star WR Stefon Diggs, who went down with a knee injury Sunday, has torn his ACL and is out for the season.”



In this way, the team coached by DeMeco Ryans loses one of its key offensive players at a time when they are sitting at the top of the AFC South.

<h2>The dominant path of the Texans</h2>



After 8 weeks of play, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Texans</a> have emerged victorious in six of those matchups, establishing themselves as the undisputed leaders of the AFC South. With an unstoppable <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud">CJ Stroud</a>, the Houston team is gradually positioning itself as serious contenders in the league.



The recent 23-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in a crucial divisional matchup leaves the Texans well-positioned for the future of the season.



Previously, they secured key victories against Indianapolis, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, and once again the Colts.



<h2>What games will Diggs miss?</h2>

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on a roll in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season with a 6-2 record that includes a three-game winning streak. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a>, who returned to the starting lineup two games ago after a lengthy injury, has sent a message that includes the entire Mike Tomlin-led team, including himself.



The resolved role dispute with Justin Fields, who was the starter for the first six weeks, means that Wilson can now speak as the team’s leader, but at the same time demonstrate his worth on the field. The former Super Bowl XLVIII champion with the Seattle Seahawks knows how to recognize the important moments of the season and doesn’t want <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Tomlin</a> or the Pittsburgh organization to get complacent because of the momentum.



Next weekend will be a bye for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a>, who lead the AFC North division over Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens. Wilson is in his first season with the Pittsburgh franchise, but the 35-year-old veteran quarterback declares as if he has played there for an extended period.



<h2>Wilson’s warning to Mike Tomlin’s Steelers</h2>



“We haven’t done anything yet. Obviously we’re here at 6-2, which is a great thing, but it doesn’t mean anything. When we look back, we have to make sure we stay focused on the next task, which is really taking care of our bodies, taking care of our minds and enjoying this. We’ve got a lot of great games ahead of us and we’re not going to shy away from them,” Wilson warned everyone at the Steelers on ESPN, including Tomlin.



<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_20241029_BUS_261908_Wilson-2-1024x576_369ad2e0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-250137" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Wilson-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Wilson-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Wilson-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Wilson-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Wilson-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Russell Wilson of the Pittsburgh Steelers</figcaption></figure>



While the statement can be taken at face value by any member of the Pittsburgh franchise, the greater impact of the words reflects Wilson’s professional and emotional momentum and his clear goal to go far this season.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-steelers-qb-russell-wilson-breaks-silence-on-his-future-after-overcoming-calf-injury"></div>


<h2>Wilson’s feelings about his professional future</h2>



Wilson has played his first two games with the Steelers and his presence has already been felt on the team. In addition to completing 36 of 57 passes attempted, he has scored three touchdowns this season, proving that he is a force to be reckoned with. 



“Unfortunately, I had that calf injury, which was devastating. The most important thing was to focus on getting healthy again, I wanna play past 40 years old and be as great as I possibly can be,” declared the Steelers starting quarterback about his feelings at this moment in his career.



<h2>Mike Tomlin’s reaction to Russell Wilson’s level vs the Giants</h2>



Wilson was a key figure in the Steelers’ win over the New York Giants in Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season. The 35-year-old quarterback completed 20 of 28 passes for 278 yards and a touchdown, earning praise from his coach. “I just thought he didn’t need to warm up to it. A little less rust than the week before, but I have to say that I’m not surprised by his capabilities,” clearly reacted Tomlin on Wilson‘s performance in the MNF victory over the Giants.

Eight weeks into the 2024 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs are the only undefeated team in the league. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> knows that the entire squad deserves credit for this perfect start, even if he and tight end Travis Kelce often draw more attention than other players.



“In a bad situation, that whole entire unit stepped up when their number was called to make a big-time stop,” Mahomes said about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a>‘ defense. “That’s what it takes from great football teams. It takes greatness from everybody; it can’t be one guy. That’s what’s made us so great for so long. Throughout my career, it’s not all about me. It’s not all about Trav. It’s about this entire team. That’s what makes it so special.”



On Sunday, the Chiefs picked up their seventh win of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season by beating division rivals Las Vegas Raiders 27-20 on the road. In the third quarter of the game, the defense came up with a big play in the red zone.



Following a deflected pass from Mahomes that ended in an interception, Las Vegas had the ball at the Chiefs’ three-yard line. Still, Steve Spagnuolo’s boys held the opponents to zero points on that possession.



<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_20241029_BUS_261873_Patrick-Mahomes-2-1024x576_15701965.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs reacts after defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10 at SoFi Stadium on September 29, 2024 in Inglewood, California." class="wp-image-247517" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Patrick-Mahomes-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Patrick-Mahomes-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Patrick-Mahomes-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Patrick-Mahomes-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Patrick-Mahomes-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs reacts after defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10 at SoFi Stadium on September 29, 2024 in Inglewood, California.</figcaption></figure>



Chiefs head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> admitted Mahomes’ offense put the defense in a tough spot, so he gave the unit its flowers: “Offensively, we put the defense in a bad position. But we held up as a defense. We came out and put our foot down and did a nice job there. That was important.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-lose-another-weapon-to-tough-injury"></div>


<h2>Mahomes credits Chiefs teammates for finding different ways to win</h2>



The Chiefs’ win on Sunday saw <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-makes-big-promise-to-deandre-hopkins-after-debut-with-patrick-mahomes-chiefs">DeAndre Hopkins make his debut with Mahomes</a> and company, with the wideout recording two catches for 29 yards. But his biggest contribution was helping <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce">Kelce</a> make 10 receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown.


 

 


The passing game clearly worked, but Kansas City also ran the ball when needed. Kareem Hunt amassed 59 yards on 21 carries, with Mahomes also gaining 17 yards on six rushing attempts.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-add-another-wr-apart-from-deandre-hopkins"></div>


Unsurprisingly, Mahomes made sure to recognize the effort from all of his teammates: “I think guys just did their job. I don’t think it was one [thing] or another. I mean, we ran it sometimes; I ran it sometimes. We threw the ball when we needed to throw the ball. That [Las Vegas] defense has a lot of different coverages. Guys were able to recognize the coverages and execute at a high level. I thought we played a pretty good football game offensively.”

The Baltimore Ravens‘ 25-29 divisional loss to the Cleveland Browns set off alarm bells about the performance of the team led by quarterback Lamar Jackson. Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">John Harbaugh</a> knows he has time to make drastic changes to go far in the 2024 NFL season.



The Ravens are second in the AFC in points allowed so far this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season, but they are avoiding a negative record thanks to the contributions of MVP candidate <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Jackson</a>. The Baltimore franchise quarterback completed 23 of 38 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8 against Cleveland.



“We’re going to continue to turn over every stone with our defense and with every other part of our team, too, to get as good as we can get it over the course of a long season. I am very confident that we will make moves in the future,” Harbaugh said in press conference.



The loss to the Browns snapped a five-game winning streak for Jackson’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a>. The Baltimore franchise’s current form warrants a change on defense, as they have given up at least 25 points in every game this season. Against Cleveland, for example, they allowed Jameis Winston to throw for 334 yards and three touchdowns, including Cedric Tillman’s last-minute game-winner.



<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_20241029_BUS_261851_Lamar-Jackson-24-1024x576_1594bfa2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens" class="wp-image-261757" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-24-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-24-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-24-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-24-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-24-740x416.jpg 740w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-24-490x275.jpg 490w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-24-250x140.jpg 250w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-24.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Lamar Jackson #8 of the Baltimore Ravens in action against the Cleveland Browns</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The addition of Dean Pees as defensive coordinator has to pay off</h2>



The addition of veteran assistant and defensive coordinator Dean Pees has not solved the Ravens’ defensive woes. However, the input of an old acquaintance could be crucial for Harbaugh as he looks to implement changes in that aspect of the team.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-john-harbaughs-ravens-make-a-key-signing-to-help-star-qb-lamar-jackson"></div>


The personnel changes don’t seem to be enough at the moment, but it has to pay off for the Ravens, who will also need to be more accurate in their play-calling in order to limit the amount of points against per game.



<h2>Lamar Jackson’s performance in the 2024 NFL season</h2>



Jackson is the mainstay of the struggling Ravens this campaign, and his level of play makes him a possible candidate to win his third MVP award. In eight games played this season, he has already contributed 17 touchdowns, the same amount as in the 2022 campaign. In addition, in the 2024 NFL he has completed 158 passes in 236 attempts for 2099 yards and has been intercepted only twice.
