Jerry Jones and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> are once again against the ropes. After a shocking loss to the Panthers, the team has a 2-3-1 record. As a result, rumors suggest the owner might make a big trade.



This was Jones’ response when asked if the Cowboys need a wake-up-call trade like in 2018, when a move for Amari Cooper boosted Dallas. Now, the scenario is a bit different since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a> leads a strong offense, so the splash would have to be on defense.



“If there is a trade that would help the defense, we’re in position to make that trade. One of the great things about our trade that we had with Green Bay is that alone has increased our flexibility of being able to look at potential trades right now. We’re in position to look at a trade. That doesn’t mean we’re going to make one. We certainly had in mind, when we started this season, that we were going to have ammo to be more flexible in terms of what we do with the roster as we move along this year and the next coupe of years.”



<h2>Will Jerry Jones and Cowboys make a trade?</h2>



Jerry Jones said that he does not currently have any trades planned, even though he himself said they are in a position to make one thanks to the capital that the Cowboys accumulated. Additionally, the owner revealed that a key factor will be seeing how injured players like DeMarvion Overshown return.


 

 


“We will weigh what are the likelihood of the players that we’ve got coming back. How will they impact this team as opposed if we should add a player on a trade. I don’t have a trade in mind right now at all. That comes about right now if someone is on the phone calling. We have thought all along that if we see a way to improve this year with a trade at the deadline, then we’ll take advantage of it. That’s what we positioned for to start this year. To have ammunition to do things if we have an opportunity.”

The NFL world was shaken this week by the firing of Brian Callahan as head coach of the Tennessee Titans. Among the list of potential replacements, both Matt Nagy and Steve Spagnuolo have emerged as possible candidates, thanks to their extensive experience working alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> with the Kansas City Chiefs.



Both coordinators have been key pillars in the success the Chiefs Kingdom has enjoyed in recent years, so it’s no surprise that several franchises are considering them for head coaching positions.



While many might assume that the potential departure of either coach next year could be a major blow to the team, Reid isn’t closing the door on letting them move on if the opportunity arises.



“I’m his biggest fan, and Spags likewise. If they have that opportunity, more power to them,” the head coach said via @goldmctNFL. While there are no clear signs yet that either of them will be the chosen one, they remain among the many candidates to replace Callahan in Tennessee.



<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_20251015_BUS_509809_andy-reid-steve-spagnuolo-1024x576_76117aa7.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Steve Spagnuolo Andy Reid" class="wp-image-509873" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo talks with head coach Andy Reid.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The power behind the Chiefs’ dynasty</h2>



While the spotlight often shines brightest on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>, the foundation of the Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty rests firmly on the veteran leadership of Head Coach Andy Reid and his coordinators, Matt Nagy and Steve Spagnuolo. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/andy-reid-turns-heads-with-blunt-statement-about-one-of-patrick-mahomes-key-weapons-on-the-chiefs"></div>


This powerful coaching triumvirate provides a rare blend of offensive continuity and defensive genius. Nagy, in his role as Offensive Coordinator, ensures Reid’s complex, explosive schemes are executed at an elite level. On the other side of the ball, Defensive Coordinator Spagnuolo, a four-time Super Bowl champion, consistently crafts game plans that transform the Chiefs’ defense into a ferocious, blitz-heavy unit. 



The fact that both Nagy and Spagnuolo are consistently sought-after head coaching candidates is a testament to the organizational stability and winning culture Reid has built in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City</a>.



<h2>Searching for Callahan’s replacement</h2>



The Tennessee Titans abruptly fired head coach Brian Callahan after a disappointing 1-5 start, making him the first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> coach dismissed this season. The move signals the franchise’s urgent desire to maximize the development of rookie quarterback Cam Ward. 



Attention has immediately shifted to potential replacements, with several high-profile candidates emerging. Names in the mix for the Titans’ long-term future include offensive minds like Chiefs OC <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Matt Nagy</a> and Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury, as well as experienced former head coaches such as Mike McCarthy, all of whom could be key to rebuilding the offense. Mike McCoy has been named the interim head coach.

Despite a terrific start to the season, Sam Darnold still has doubters around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The veteran quarterback had the best campaign of his career in 2024, shining with the Minnesota Vikings, taking them to the playoffs after a 14-win season.&nbsp;



Darnold signed with the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Seattle Seahawks </a>in the offseason, but many waited until finally giving him his props. The Seahawks are 4-2 after beating the 4-1 Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, making a statement against Trevor Lawrence and Co.&nbsp;



Darnold went 16 of 27 for 295 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Seahawks back to winning ways after a narrow loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. His performance against another hot team earned him plenty of praise and the recognition some didn’t want to give him at first.



<h2>Sam Darnold gets high praise after win over Jaguars&nbsp;</h2>



Bleacher Report listed Darnold as one of the winners of Week 6, following a strong performance against the Jaguars. They admitted that his season in Minnesota wasn’t a fluke.



<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_20251015_BUS_509851_sam-darnold-5-1024x576_45af888f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Sam Darnold QB" class="wp-image-504186" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Sam Darnold #14 of the Seattle Seahawks.</figcaption></figure>



“Seattle is for real in the NFC West,” Bleacher Report writes this week. “After losing a heartbreaker in last week’s shootout with the Buccaneers, it would have been somewhat understandable if the Seahawks had experienced a letdown in Week 6—the team had to travel thousands of miles to face a red-hot Jags team that just stunned the Kansas City Chiefs. Instead, the Seahawks played a relatively mistake-free game and gutted out a win.”



Seattle could extend its good moment with a win against the Houston Texans on Monday. Darnold is an early MVP candidate, and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down at this moment.

After a promising 2-0 start to the season, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> have lost four consecutive games, including one last-second duel against the Tennessee Titans despite entering the fourth quarter up 21-6.&nbsp;



The Cardinals are two steps behind the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West, and many are suggesting they need to part ways with their starting quarterback, Kyler Murray.&nbsp;



Murray has gone 110 of 161 for 962 yards and six touchdowns against three interceptions this season. He missed the Indianapolis Colts game in Week 6, but Jacoby Brissett held his own, going 27 of 44 for 320 yards and two touchdowns.&nbsp;



While the Cardinals lost 31-27, this game opened the door for a change at State Farm Stadium.



<h2>Analyst says Kyler Murray should be better off away from Cardinals&nbsp;</h2>



Alex Kay of Bleacher Report wrote recently that seeing Murray on a different team wouldn’t be crazy, although he’s under contract through 2027.



<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_20251015_BUS_509849_Kyler-Murray-quarterback-for-the-Arizona-Cardinals-1024x576_088cc850.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals." class="wp-image-472696" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



“The team just proved it can perform competitively without him,” Kay wrote. “The bounty of picks the Cardinals would receive in return would allow them to expedite a rebuilding process. A trade could benefit Murray as well. With blunders like the public spat leading up to his contract extension and the “homework clause” initially inserted into his new deal, it feels like the QB and his employer haven’t been able to get on the same page. A move to another franchise could help him take a leap into the upper echelon of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> signal-callers.”



Arizona will try to get back to winning ways against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7. Kyler Murray is listed as questionable after missing the Colts duel.

Cam Ward and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> are off to a terrible start to the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The rookie quarterback has struggled to get things going, not only winning one game in six duels, but showing little to no improvement under Brian Callahan.&nbsp;



The former Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator was dismissed on Monday after the Titans lost to the Las Vegas Raiders, 20-10, on Sunday. After a 1-5 record this season, Titans owner Amy Adams released Callahan in the team’s fifth power structure change in the past 34 months.



Ward was confident he could make an impact on the team when he got the hang of the league, but he will have to do so under a different coach.



<h2>Cam Ward issued strong warning to the NFL&nbsp;</h2>



Talking with Michael Silver of The Athletic on Friday, Ward reflected on the rocky start to the campaign, giving himself an “F” grade. More than that, the 23-year-old quarterback sent a message to the rest of the league, warning it about what’s coming once he unlocks his potential.



<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_20251015_BUS_509850_cam-ward-3-1024x576_7f67db13.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans." class="wp-image-508462" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans.</figcaption></figure>



“I’m not playing how I want to play right now,” he said. “So, once I play how I want to play, I think the league will be f—ed.”



In six games, Ward has posted 111 completions on 202 pass attempts, racking up 1,101 yards and three touchdowns against four interceptions and 25 sacks. The Titans are one of the worst teams in the league, and nothing suggests they are going to turn things around soon.

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



They now lead the division and are looking like legitimate playoff contenders. Drake Maye has played at a high level, leading the team in his second season, looking settled after a tumultuous rookie campaign under Jerod Mayo.&nbsp;



Maye has gone 131 of 179 for 1,522 yards and 10 touchdowns and two interceptions. He has carried the ball 36 times for 138 yards and two more touchdowns.



<h2>Analyst lauds Mike Vrabel, Drake Maye over Patriots’ remarkable start&nbsp;</h2>



Besides Maye, analyst Pete Prisco lauded Mike Vrabel for the way he has turned the franchise around in his first season on the sideline.&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_20251015_BUS_509847_drake-maye-qb-new-england-patriots-1024x576_d7c33f43.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots" class="wp-image-390272" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots looks on before the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium on December 28, 2024 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.</figcaption></figure>



“It’s coach and quarterback in this league. If you have the coach and you have the quarterback, you’re gonna win games,” Prisco said. “They have the coach, they have the quarterback. Drake Maye is the real deal. If you watched Drake Maye last week, some of the throws he made, major jaw-droppers. They were the big-boy throws from a big-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> quarterback. Even one that got called back for a terrible pass interference on Stefon Diggs for pushing off. That throw, I went, ‘Wow!’ This kid is playing at a high level, they’re getting better on the offensive line and defensively, all those bodies that they paid money to, they’re kinda coming together.”



The Patriots will clash against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, hoping to continue their good moment and win their fourth consecutive game. Maye and Co. are finding their rhythm, and the Titans are anything but competitive this campaign.&nbsp;

Drake Maye showed flashes of his talent in 2024, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>’ second-year quarterback has elevated his game and is leading the team to a 4-2 record and the first spot in the AFC East, even beating the Buffalo Bills as visitors in Week 4.&nbsp;



New England extended its winning streak to three games after beating the New Orleans Saints 25-19 on Sunday, with Maye going 18 of 26 for 261 yards and three touchdowns. The quarterback has become one of the most intriguing stories to start the season, and the Patriots are a fun team to watch again under Mike Vrabel.&nbsp;



Maye is drawing a lot of attention with his performances, which include 131 completions on 179 pass attempts, 1,522 yards, and 10 touchdowns against two interceptions.&nbsp;



<h2>DeMario Douglas explains what’s different for Drake Maye this season&nbsp;</h2>



Patriots’ wide receiver DeMario Douglas joined <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>Network’s “The Insiders” on Tuesday to talk about his team’s emergence as the AFC East leader and how Maye has evolved since his rookie campaign. Douglas credited that Maye’s confidence has changed everything.



<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_20251015_BUS_509848_drake-maye-qb-new-england-patriots-1024x576_8670a8cc.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots" class="wp-image-390272" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots looks on before the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium on December 28, 2024 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.</figcaption></figure>



“I’ll say his confidence,” Douglas said. “His confidence has been growing. I’m proud of him, man. He never got too high when he was up, he never got too low when he was down. I’m loving the confidence that he’s giving us. He’s just going out there and playing on the field. I’m loving it, I love his presentation.”



The Patriots will clash against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, in a duel against Vrabel’s former team. New England is on a roll, and they can continue their sweet moment with a win against one of the worst teams in the league.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> made a statement by beating the Detroit Lions in Week 6, but Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are still far from satisfied with their 3-3 record. Fortunately, there’s still time before the trade deadline — and it appears the front office might make a move.



According to NFL insider Dan Graziano of ESPN, the Chiefs are in the market for a running back as they could explore adding a new weapon for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> before the 2025 NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, November 4.



The Chiefs’ current RB room, led by Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, would receive a huge boost with another addition. Both have proven useful in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a>‘s system, but the team could still look for an upgrade.



<h2>Can the Chiefs trade for Jets RB Breece Hall?</h2>



In the wake of these rumors, the Chiefs have been linked with New York Jets star Breece Hall, whose current contract expires at the end of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. However, his team doesn’t look interested in a trade.



<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_20251015_BUS_509808_breece-hall-week-6-1024x576_485b0559.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Breece Hall runs with the ball." class="wp-image-509845" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Breece Hall runs with the ball.</figcaption></figure>



“They’re rumors,” Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday of the chatter surrounding Hall, doubling down on his stance from the offseason, when he showed no intention of losing the running back. “I still feel the same way.”


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jared-goffs-teammate-in-the-lions-offers-blunt-take-on-facing-chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes"></div>


More importantly, Hall himself made it clear that he’s happy with the Jets when speaking to the media before Week 6: “I want to be here. I love being a New York Jet and everything. At the end of the day, I don’t control what goes on.”



Hall’s contract situation and the contrast between his personal numbers and the Jets’ results have put him at the center of trade speculation. While he boasts 410 yards on 88 carries, New York is still winless six weeks into the 2025 NFL season.



<h2>Other potential trade targets for Kansas City</h2>



If Hall is off the table, the Chiefs could still help Reid and Mahomes with other targets, but they may not be easy to get. De’Von Achane, a player in a similar situation as Hall but with the Miami Dolphins, has so far racked up 79 carries for 390 yards and three rushing touchdowns for the 1-5 Fins this year. The chances of getting him may depend on the Dolphins’ willingness to surrender their most valuable asset to start rebuilding.



Another name worth watching for the Chiefs might be New Orleans Saints star Alvin Kamara, a proven weapon also being held back by a struggling team that sits bottom of the NFC South with a 1-5 record. He’s older than Hall and Achane, reducing his potential value for the long term, but could make an immediate difference in the running game.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="68efe810370f2f9346100c44" data-title="Should the Chiefs make a trade before the deadline?" data-options="3"></div>


The Chiefs have made trade deadline deals before, including a bold move for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins last year. With a few weeks to go, we’ll have to wait and see whether general manager Brett Veach ultimately pulls the trigger.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> will face Joe Flacco in a showdown between quarterbacks over 40 years old when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> visit the Cincinnati Bengals. For this reason, humorously, social media has dubbed the game as the Icy Hot Bowl.



In response to the surprising buzz that has been generated, this was Rodgers’ reaction. “I think it’s great for all the old guys. I’ve known Joe for a long time. He’s been great coming to my charity event. He’s been a great ambassador for the league. He’s had a great career and it’s fun that we’re both still playing. I’ve just always enjoyed watching him throw the ball. He’s got one of the prettiest balls, tight spiral, great deep ball thrower. He is one of the kind of old school 2000s or 90s prototypical quarterback. The big guys who had the big arms. I’ve always enjoyed watching Joe play and have a lot of respect for him and his game.”



Flacco and Rodgers have both won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> in their historic careers, and despite the rise of many young quarterbacks, they remain two key figures in the NFL. Joe was just traded from the Browns to the Bengals to save Cincinnati’s season, while Aaron has positioned Pittsburgh as a playoff contender in the AFC.



<h2>How old is Aaron Rodgers?</h2>



Aaron Rodgers is 41 years old. Because of this, it’s very rare nowadays for him to have games against other quarterbacks over 40, like Joe Flacco. However, with improvements in medicine and sports science, the Steelers quarterback believes there will be more matchups with this age characteristic in the future.


 

 


“It’s possible. Obviously, there’s a lot more conversation and money spent by guys on their bodies in the offseason over the years as I’ve seen the training during my off seasons. It’s definitely different, but, there is one key component and that’s consistency. In order to keep playing at an advanced age, you have to have some level of consistency to give you the opportunities. Joe’s done it and I’ve done it.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-puts-the-entire-afc-on-notice-about-steelers-chances-of-reaching-the-playoffs-after-win-against-browns"></div>


<h2>When was the last time 40-year-old NFL quarterbacks NFL faced each other?</h2>



The last time two 40-year-old quarterbacks faced each other in the NFL was in the 2020 season with Tom Brady and Drew Brees. In that game, the New Orleans Saints defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38-3.



Surprisingly, Brady threw four interceptions in that game, while Brees shined with the Saints, throwing three touchdown passes. Now, Rodgers and Flacco join this exclusive list.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> looks as healthy as ever after five games with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. While other teams in the AFC North, like the Ravens and Bengals, have been decimated by the absences of Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow, the veteran says that despite being 41 years old, he’s been feeling better as the weeks go by.



“I think I’m kind of going like this body-wise (pointing upwards). You know? I’m just getting healthier. I had a great break on the bye week. I spent time with my bodywork guru guy out West. I felt good coming back. I’m going to have to get with him a few more times this season. First couple of weeks, I was a little tighter. I felt like that and now I’m starting to loosen up and feel a little bit more like myself.”



Very few expected Rodgers to stay physically at 100 percent given his age and the issues the offensive line had in the first two weeks of the regular season. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a> seems to have fixed that situation, which has allowed the quarterback to take fewer hits. For example, in the last game against the Browns, there were no sacks.



<h2>Is Aaron Rodgers retiring?</h2>



No. Aaron Rodgers is not retiring from football, and although he said before the season started in an interview with Pat McAfee that this would be his final year, the reality is that he has gradually changed his stance.


 

 


Now, after his recent performances with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rodgers has been more cautious, noting that continuing to play is possible and that his initial opinion is no longer definitive. Additionally, the quarterback admitted that Mike Tomlin was right a few days ago when he said it was expected to see the veteran star more comfortable as the season progresses.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-puts-the-entire-afc-on-notice-about-steelers-chances-of-reaching-the-playoffs-after-win-against-browns"></div>


“Yeah, I think so. We’re still, you know, five games into playing with each other. So, I’d like to think that there’s more continuity with me and the guys out there. Obviously, we’ve had some injuries, but, you’re seeing some more reactionary plays that we talk about in practice and we work in practice. They’re showing up on the field on game days. So, I’m happy with the progression.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> and Patrick Mahomes are ready to welcome back Rashee Rice, whose cleared to return after serving a six-game suspension in the 2025 NFL season. But in a corresponding move to make room for Rice, the Kansas City Chiefs had to remove a player from their active roster.



On Monday, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> decided to waive veteran wide receiver Jason Brownlee, paving the way for Rice to join Mahomes and company on the 53-man roster. Despite making an impression in preseason and training camp, Brownlee’s fate appeared to be sealed.



Not only does Rice’ return represent a much-needed addition for Mahomes, but other wideouts in Kansas City also gave Reid a reason to stay on the team. Tyquan Thornton, for instance, has seen his role increase during the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.



<h2>Who are the Chiefs WRs for Reid and Mahomes with Rice back?</h2>



Rice is now expected to boost a Chiefs WR room that, apart from Thornton, also counts on Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jalen Royals, and Nikko Remigio.

Moving forward with eight wideouts simply wasn’t the best idea for Reid, though this may not be the end for Brownlee in Kansas City. After clearing waivers on Tuesday, the veteran pass catcher can still return to the Chiefs’ practice squad.

Having Brownlee on the scout team would make sense for Reid, as we’re talking about a player familiar with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> and the system. An undrafted free agent in 2023, Brownlee spent a year and a half with the New York Jets before joining the Chiefs in January 2025.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> is not happy about facing a short week with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. Although he has impressive numbers in games played on that day in his career, a 13-5 record and nearly 5,000 yards, the quarterback said it’s not good for players’ recovery and that it’s just an idea by Roger Goodell and the NFL to keep making money.



“Thursday is all about the league and making money. We understand that. It used to be just Thanksgiving Thursdays and they added obviously the Thursday games. So, we know what it’s all about, but, it’s the same for everybody. Everybody’s got at least one of these. So, we just suck it up, go on the road, take care of business and we’ll get a little break.”



The Steelers defeated the Browns at home last Sunday and will have to play in Cincinnati this Thursday. After that, the schedule gives them three tough opponents in consecutive weeks: the Packers, Colts, and Chargers. That stretch could show whether they’re truly <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contenders.



<h2>What’s the Steelers next game?</h2>



The Steelers’ next game will be this Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals and, unless the NFL decides to flex another one of their games, they won’t have another matchup on that day of the week. Because of that, Rodgers chose to look on the bright side: get a win and then enjoy a sort of mini bye.


 

 


“Well, I feel like, you know, today is like a tough day because usually you feel different on Tuesday than you did on Monday. And for most of us, especially us over 30, by Wednesday you start feeling better. I think we all just kind of suck it up. No excuses and go out there knowing there’s a reward at the end of this, which is a few days off.”

<h2>Can Thursday night games get flexed?</h2>



Yes. The NFL can flex Thursday Night Games between Week 14 and Week 16. The big change for this season is that now the switch can be made with only 21 days’ notice, whereas before it had to be confirmed 28 days in advance.

Aaron Rodgers takes a big shot at Roger Goodell and NFL

Week 7 of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season gets underway with a clash between division rivals when the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers face each other on “Thursday Night Football.” It will be Joe Flacco‘s second start for Zac Taylor‘s team, hoping to take down <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a> and Aaron Rodgers at home.



Even though Rodgers joined Pittsburgh this year, Flacco is familiar with facing both the 4x NFL MVP and the Steelers head coach. That experience is giving Taylor reason for optimism, as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a> head coach warned Tomlin and company that Flacco may know how to beat them.



“I think it matters,” Taylor said, via Steeler Nation. “Yeah. Absolutely. He knows their style of play. He knows their level of aggression on defense and played against most of their guys over there. He was in Indy last year and played against them. Been in Cleveland. 



“So yeah, played them as much as anybody has. I mean obviously he’s probably played them more than anybody has in this league that’s currently playing. So, I think he’s got a great sense of what it takes to win.”

<h2>Joe Flacco’s record against Tomlin, Steelers</h2>



With Tomlin coaching the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> since 2007 and Flacco playing for the Baltimore Ravens from 2008 to 2018, they were involved in plenty of AFC North clashes. But the veteran quarterback continued to face Pittsburgh in the NFL even after leaving Baltimore.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/steelers-news-mike-tomlin-blasts-browns-for-trading-joe-flacco-to-bengals"></div>


“I have so many great memories of playing these guys and so much respect for them as a team, even though they’ve changed over the years,” said Flacco, who is 11-11 against the Steelers. “There’s still a lot of those same guys, familiar faces. Just a lot of respect for what they’ve been able to do, and always battling against those guys. You know you’re in for a good one.”



In 22 games against Tomlin’s Steelers, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco">Flacco</a> threw 27 touchdowns to 12 interceptions, with a career passing rating of 85.4. However, his record against Rodgers paints a little different picture.



<h2>Joe Flacco still winless against Aaron Rodgers</h2>



Flacco is 0-3 against the former Green Bay Packers quarterback, with their most recent meeting dating back to 2019, when Flacco played for the Denver Broncos. This week’s “Thursday Night Football” showdown will see them face each other 16 years after their first clash, when Flacco’s Ravens lost 27-14 to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Rodgers</a> and the Packers in 2009.

One of the teams making the most noise this NFL season is undoubtedly the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite their recent loss, they remain firmly in the AFC South race. This weekend, they’ll head to London to face Matthew Stafford’s Rams in a key matchup that could have major playoff implications for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence">Trevor Lawrence</a> and the Jags.



In the lead-up to a crucial Week 7 matchup, news broke in recent hours of a new addition to Liam Coen’s roster. Offensive tackle Kilian Zierer — who has spent time with multiple <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> teams — joins the squad to bring added experience and depth to the unit.



The news was confirmed by the insider Adam Schefter, who reported the move via his official X account (formerly Twitter). It’s an intriguing addition by one of the most surprising teams in the American Conference this season.



“Jaguars signed OL Kilian Zierer to their practice squad. Zierer, a native of Munich, Germany, is a member of the NFL’s International Player Pathway (IPP) Program, and spent two seasons with the Houston Texans (2023-24) and time with the Browns, Falcons and 49ers.”

<h2>Jaguars set sights on London win</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars</a>‘ pivotal Week 7 matchup against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams takes place this Sunday, October 19th, at Wembley Stadium in London, England. For the 4-2 Jaguars, this annual UK contest is far more than a routine international game; it’s a critical AFC vs. NFC clash that could define their season’s trajectory.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/trevor-lawrence-net-worth"></div>


A victory against the surging 4-2 Rams—who feature a high-powered passing attack led by Stafford—is essential for the Jaguars to gain crucial momentum and prove their legitimacy as a serious playoff contender before returning stateside.



<h2>Looking to rebound after defeat</h2>



After a frustrating 20-12 home loss to the Seahawks that saw the offense revert to old habits—committing 10 penalties and allowing a season-high seven sacks on Trevor Lawrence—this weekend’s game in London is an absolute must-win for the Jaguars. 



Dropping their first home game of the year and losing sole possession of the AFC South lead, the 4-2 Jaguars desperately need to prove their recent success wasn’t a mirage. Facing a formidable Rams pass rush in the UK, the team must immediately clean up their self-inflicted errors and protect their quarterback, or risk seeing their early-season momentum evaporate and their playoff hopes falter.

The recent win over the Lions was a much-needed morale boost for a Kansas City Chiefs team navigating a rollercoaster NFL season. Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> managed to lead his squad to victory despite being without one of Patrick Mahomes’ key offensive weapons — who is expected to return to action soon.


 


<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rashee-rice">Rashee Rice</a> was handed a suspension for an off-the-field incident, forcing him to miss not only the first six games of the season but also to stay away from team practices with the Chiefs during that time.



Reid knows that the wide receiver’s return to the first team is a breath of fresh air and isn’t concerned about any potential rust. While Rice wasn’t able to train with the team, his personal preparation has given the head coach plenty of confidence.



“I know he’s been working like crazy, the rule states that we can’t work with him,” Reid said. “He has been working out hard, and I think it’s just a matter of getting him back in the swing. I’ve got to see it to work through it, but I know he’s in good shape, that’s the one thing I do know.



<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_20251015_BUS_509539_rashee-rice-1024x576_c4a7a0c1.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Rashee Rice" class="wp-image-445203" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Rashee Rice #4 of the Kansas City Chiefs.</figcaption></figure>



“I think that’ll be important, getting him back in there, getting him with Patrick, getting them on the same page. We’ll see how all that works out. We haven’t put the game plan in yet so we’re working through all that now.”

<h2>Rashee Rice’s impact on Mahomes’ game</h2>



Rashee Rice’s absence has been a tangible weight on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the Chiefs’ aerial attack this season. As Mahomes’ most reliable receiver and a premier YAC (Yards After Catch) threat, Rice’s six-game suspension left a significant void in the offense’s verticality and intermediate routes. 



While <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City</a>‘s deep receiving corps adapted, the lack of his consistent, dynamic playmaking often forced the offense to lean heavily on Travis Kelce, underscoring just how critical Rice’s established chemistry and reliable hands are to unlocking Mahomes’ full potential.



<h2>What went down with Rashee Rice?</h2>



Chiefs’ wide receiver Rashee Rice was handed a six-game suspension for violating the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>‘s Personal Conduct Policy, stemming from his involvement in a high-speed, multi-car collision in Dallas in March 2024. 


 


The discipline followed Rice’s plea of guilty to felony charges, including collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway, where he admitted to leaving the scene without providing aid.
