<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> and the Pittsburgh Steelers are in full control of the AFC North and now face a divisional opponent in the Cleveland Browns. While the team is doing great, they won’t be able to have one of their best offensive weapons for this matchup.



Wide receiver Calvin Austin didn’t practice all week due to a shoulder injury and now it’s been confirmed he won’t play in Week 6. In fact, reports by NBC Sports say there is a real possibility that he will be placed on Injury Reserve.



Austin serves as the second-best wide receiver on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a>‘ roster behind DK Metcalf. In fact, Rodgers looked his way a lot given his good routes and crisp release. Without him, Rodgers will likely look to his tight ends Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington to gain those short routes.



<h2>DK Metcalf will have a tough duel</h2>



Metcalf is a physical problem. He is too big and too fast for opposing cornerbacks. But he will face one of the best in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> in Denzel Ward. The Browns have a very good defense but they aren’t as fierce away from home. However, given the fact that Metcalf will be the best and pretty much only deep threat on the game, Ward will take him. 



<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_20251011_BUS_506599_dk-metcalf-1024x576_588d7083.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="DK Metcalf #4 of the Pittsburgh Steelers " class="wp-image-465815" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>DK Metcalf #4 of the Pittsburgh Steelers </figcaption></figure>



Rodgers will have to be aware when throwing to Metcalf as Ward is great in coverage and can create turnover opportunities. It wouldn’t shock anyone if the Steelers also tried to get Metcalf other matchups using pre-snap motions, something Rodgers excels at.

<h2>Jaylen Warren could have a big game</h2>



Other weapon that could have a massive impact on the game is Jaylen Warren, running back. While the Browns are very good against RBs, Warren is incredible as a backfield pass-catcher. Metcalf will be going through his own battle against Ward. Hence, Warren could easily become a play-action target and get plenty of yards after catch.



Warren is very explosive and Rodgers has shown trust in him early in the season. He could be the weapon that turns the game in Pittsburgh’s favor. Also, the Browns defense might be tired as they played in England last week and had no rest.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco">Joe Flacco</a> is preparing for his debut as the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals as the team desperately searches for a spark after recent struggles. The good news for Flacco is that he is expected to have star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase back on the field against the Green Bay Packers.



This positive development was reported by Matt Zenitz on X: “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a> star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who didn’t practice today and is listed as questionable on Cincinnati’s injury report, is expected to play vs. the Packers on Sunday, sources tell CBS Sports.”



While this isn’t the first time Flacco has become familiar with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase">Chase</a>—he’s certainly seen the star receiver play on film—he understands how capable Chase is and how much he can boost the offense. Although it’s unclear how much time Chase will be on the field, his presence is a major boost for the Bengals.



In recent declarations, it was revealed that Flacco’s family is excited about him playing for Cincinnati; he confessed that his children are “fascinated” by the idea of him throwing passes to Chase.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bengals?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bengals</a> WR Ja’Marr Chase on the Joe Flacco trade: "I appreciate the organization trying to make this work." <a href="https://t.co/4V9A183mTs">pic.twitter.com/4V9A183mTs</a>— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href="https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1976378827850056066?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 9, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



<h2>Flacco’s 2025 Stats</h2>



In his limited time with the Browns in 2025, Flacco recorded 815 passing yards on 93/160 completed passes, but only managed 2 touchdowns while suffering 6 interceptions, finishing his run in Cleveland with a difficult 1-3-0 record.



However, he brings sufficient experience to the Bengals, who possess a better defense and offense than the Browns. With Burrow sidelined, the team has struggled, and coming off a three-game losing streak, it is logical that they look to a veteran like Flacco to try and dig them out of the hole.

Following a tough 0-5 start, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> are reportedly trying to move several players. Breece Hall is among those rumored to be traded, and the running back has now addressed the speculation.



The 2025 NFL season has started on the wrong foot for the Jets. The team has shown flashes of potential, but positive results have not arrived, and the front office may take action in response to the poor start.



Due to their struggles, the Jets are reportedly exploring trades for some of their top players to acquire future draft capital. One of the big names on the rumored trade block is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/breece-hall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Breece Hall</a>, and the running back has gotten real about the situation.



<h2>Breece Hall gets brutally honest on potentially being traded from the Jets</h2>



The Jets are not having the 2025 season they expected. The team currently sits at the bottom of the AFC East with a disappointing 0-5 record, and their playoff hopes already appear slim.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-punishes-jerry-jones-with-strong-fine-for-controversial-gesture-during-cowboys-vs-jets"></div>


Because of this losing streak, reports suggest that New York could start parting ways with its stars to rebuild for future seasons. According to multiple sources, one of those players being considered for trade is Breece Hall.



The running back is in the fourth and final year of his contract. It has been reported that the Jets could trade him to avoid negotiating an extension and instead gain value before he becomes a free agent or demands a new deal.



Hall’s season has been decent so far, with three games of over 80 rushing yards. While he has yet to score a touchdown, the running back believes his future remains in New York and wants to prove he deserves to stay with the Jets at least through the end of the 2025 season.



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">"I want to be here, I love being a New York Jet. At the end of the day, I don&apos;t control what goes on – I only control what I do on the field and how I handle my business off the field." Breece Hall is asked about trade rumors: <a href="https://t.co/slS0yyejXp">pic.twitter.com/slS0yyejXp</a>— Jets Videos (@snyjets) <a href="https://twitter.com/snyjets/status/1976659366309671407?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



“This is my fifth month dealing with this now,” Hall said. “At this point, it is what it is. I’m here. 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, I only control what I do on the field and how I handle my business off the field. So for me it’s all about servicing my teammates and coaches the best way I can, and let God handle whatever else. Every day I come out, like I said, I’m servicing my teammates and coaches, glorifying God, and whatever happens happens after that.”



<h2>Hall may not want to leave, but the Jets have the final say</h2>



Although Breece Hall has expressed his desire to remain with the Jets, the final decision rests with the front office. This week, New York faces the Broncos, and another loss could push the organization to shift its focus toward next season.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jets-are-the-only-team-0-5-but-also-hold-an-unwanted-feat-that-no-team-has-done-since-1933-after-loss-to-the-cowboys"></div>


With the trade deadline looming at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 4, the Jets may decide on Hall’s future earlier, depending on their record and playoff chances.

Andy Reid spoke about Trevor Lawrence’s big play that led to another loss for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, 31-28, against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In recent days, the sequence has been discussed in the national media, especially due to the lack of effort shown by defensive star Chris Jones.



This was the message Reid sent to the player after what happened. “Well, you can’t think that the guy is down. I mean, you can’t think that. You got to just play the play. He knows. He’s been around this thing a long time. So, that’s really what it came down to.”



Now, if the Chiefs want to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, the margin for error is gone. As if that weren’t enough, the next challenge is huge at Arrowhead Stadium, hosting the Detroit Lions, who have four consecutive wins.



<h2>What is the Chiefs record right now?</h2>



The Chiefs currently have a 2-3 record and are chasing the Chargers and Broncos in the AFC West, as both rivals are at 3-2. The Las Vegas Raiders are in last place in the division with a 1-4 record.


 

 


The big problem for the Chiefs is that they have a very tough remaining schedule, which includes teams like the Lions, Commanders, Bills, Broncos, Colts, Cowboys, Texans, and Chargers.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> will have his first opportunity as a backup quarterback in the NFL when the Cleveland Browns visit the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> in Week 6. For that reason, the team’s head coach, Kevin Stefanski, warned the rookie that it’s time to stay alert.



“I think the big thing there is all of us play our role throughout the week and on Sunday. Obviously, that backup quarterback role is a little bit different. We’re doing everything we can to support the starter and then you have to be ready in a moment’s notice. It’s just the life of backup players at every position. You have to stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready. Again, that’s our job as coaches and as players to be ready when called upon.”



Dillon Gabriel will be the Browns’ starting quarterback in a matchup against a legendary quarterback on the other side, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a>. This could be Cleveland’s last chance to save their 2025 season.



<h2>Who will be backup quarterback for Browns against Steelers?</h2>



Shedeur Sanders will be the backup quarterback for the Browns against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kevin Stefanski admitted that the rookie is ready to run the same offense as Dillon Gabriel, in a decision he considered for several days.


 

 


“I think with any quarterback that is in there, you’re always playing to their strengths, but, our focus obviously is making sure that we’re running our offense and being sound in everything we do. I just repeat myself, in any decision, that I just want to make sure that I take my time and make sure I’m doing what’s right for all the players. This decision or every decision I make.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-browns-part-ways-with-shedeur-sanders-key-teammate-after-surprising-trade"></div>


Stefanski also spoke about the areas in which Shedeur has improved during these five weeks. However, the reality is that the head coach wanted to praise his entire rookie class.



“All of our young players work really hard in this building utilizing all the resources that we have to improve every single day. So, I think that’s true of this rookie class. Second year guys, third year guys. I think all of them are doing everything in their power to get up to speed. With rookies, there’s a learning curve. Things that you’re going to pick up over the course of time. I think all of our guys have done a nice job of really incrementally getting better. Certainly with the process of an NFL season, the process of a week, what those type of things look like.”

In Week 6, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> will face the San Francisco 49ers. Unfortunately for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a>, two of his key weapons won’t be available for this tough matchup.



On Friday, reports confirmed that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-godwin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Godwin</a> is not expected to play against the 49ers. He’s dealing with a fibula injury suffered against the Seahawks and has missed all practices this week.



At the same time, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-evans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Evans</a> has been ruled out for this week’s game. The veteran wide receiver is still recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in Week 3 and won’t suit up on Sunday to face San Francisco.



<h2>No Godwin and Evans? No problem</h2>



Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are two of the best wide receivers in the league, but the Buccaneers have found a new star to step up in their absence.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-buccaneers-star-baker-mayfield-delivers-bold-response-on-recent-perceptions-about-him"></div>


Emeka Egbuka has quickly become a top candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year after an impressive start to his debut season. He’s been one of Mayfield’s most reliable targets, especially with both Godwin and Evans sidelined.



Through five games this season, Egbuka has recorded 25 receptions for 445 yards and five touchdowns. His production has already been outstanding, but his role is expected to grow even more in Week 6 as Tampa Bay faces the 49ers without their two veteran stars.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Dolphins</a> are not having the best of seasons and amidst all the turmoil, they just received news on their quarterback Tua Tagovailoa ahead of their Week 6 game against Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tua-tagovailoa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tagovailoa</a> was limited in practice earlier in the week due to hip and left thumb injuries. However, he was a full participant on Thursday and Friday sessions and now is off the injury report.



This is great news as the Dolphins desperately need their quarterback if they want to beat a tough <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chargers</a> team. Tagovailoa has completed 70.7% of his passes for 1,008 yards and 10 touchdowns to four interceptions. 



<h2>No Tyreek Hill means Tua’s best weapon is Jaylen Waddle</h2>



Hill suffered a gruesome knee injury that will sideline him all year. This means Jaylen Waddle’s time to step up is here. Waddle is a fast, versatile receiver. He also has a good connection with Tua as they’ve played together for years now.



<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_20251010_BUS_506534_jaylen-waddle-1024x576_f057fdd4.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jaylen Waddle #17 of the Miami Dolphins." class="wp-image-439373" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jaylen Waddle #17 of the Miami Dolphins.</figcaption></figure>



There’s also tight end Darren Waller. He missed the first few weeks, but played the last two and he has three touchdowns already and has caught eight of nine targets. He is instantly becoming a top target for Tua too.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/tua-tagovailoa-issues-strong-message-to-mike-mcdaniel-dolphins-after-painful-loss-to-panthers"></div>


<h2>It’s a controversial QB battle</h2>



Tua and Herbert were picked fifth and sixth overall in the 2020 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft. Hence, it’s natural they’ve been compared ever since. Hence, each time they play it’s quite controversial in that sense. Tua has a 2-1 record against Herbert.



Tua’s record is 39-28 and Herbert’s is 44-40. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-herbert" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Herbert</a> has 22,000 passing yards and Tua only 16,500. Herbert has thrown for 145 touchdowns while Tua has 110. They are very similar on interceptions as Tua has thrown 48 and Herbert 49 albeit Tua on 15 less career games. Passer rate is also very similar with Tua having 98.1 and Herbert 96.4. Both are one-time Pro Bowlers and now will go to battle once again.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> are paying for their own football sins as once again, they didn’t provide quarterback Joe Burrow with protection, and now he is missing three months. Since Burrow went down, the Bengals are 0-3. Hence, they traded for NFL veteran Joe Flacco in hopes of keeping the season alive while Burrow heals. Superstar wide receiver, Ja’Marr Chase, opened up about the situation.



Without <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Burrow</a>, the team has been outscored 113-37. With backup Jake Browning, the Bengals weren’t able to score. Chase now referred to Flacco as an “all-time great,” but he also sent a message to the team.



“I appreciate the organization&nbsp;trying to make this work. So we’ve got to make it work,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chase</a> said, via the Bengals’ website. “They just see that we’ve got a chance. Defense is doing a good enough job to help us out. Ultimately, we’ve got to have plays in space. That’s what they’ve seen. That’s what they wanted to keep going. They’ve just given us an opportunity to make more of those plays happen.”



<h2>The Bengals should have an explosing passing offense</h2>



Chase won the receiving triple crown last season, leading the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> in receiving yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns. This is just a last statement on how elite he is. However, the Bengals’ WR2 could be the first option in 90% of the league. Enters the scene, Tee Higgins.



<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_20251010_BUS_506483_tee-higgins-1024x576_b1df9bb3.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Tee Higgins #5 of the Cincinnati Bengals" class="wp-image-506526" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tee Higgins #5 of the Cincinnati Bengals</figcaption></figure>



The former Clemson receiver hasn’t had more than 56 receiving yards this year and that’s bad. He is incredibly talented and has had four out of his previous five seasons with 900 or more receiving yards. However, without Burrow, his usage suffers a lot. He hasn’t had a game of three or more catches all year.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-shedeur-sanders-sends-clear-message-about-joe-flacco-after-browns-trade-quarterback-to-bengals"></div>


<h2>Flacco is not elite, but he will sling it</h2>



One thing is for sure, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Flacco</a> is not afraid to rip the ball. His arm remains as the one weapon he has, so Chase and Higgins should have a huge upside with him under center. Flacco will risk turnovers hoping for big plays but at this point, and with the receivers in hand, that might be just what the Bengals need to stay afloat.



Higgins will play as the long-route target as he can impose himself with his 6-foot-4 frame and speed. Chase is more of an all-rounder receiver, capable of doing it all and getting plenty of yards after catch. To compliment them, Flacco will have a dual-threat running back in Chase Brown. The Bengals should look better with him.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> are still in competition to at least make noise in the NFC South division. After a 0-2 start, the Panthers now have a 2-3 record and sit third in the division standings, showing promise at times, including a 30-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons.&nbsp;



Bryce Young is trying to find his best version after a rocky start to the season. He has gone 106 of 174 for 951 yards and seven touchdowns against four interceptions. He has carried the ball 13 times for 54 yards and one touchdown.&nbsp;



The trade deadline is set for Nov. 4, and many teams are already looking for options to bolster their squads for the rest of the season. They have a solid wide receiver in Tetairoa McMillan, but a couple of pieces could elevate them.&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst says Panthers should focus on two positions&nbsp;</h2>



With three weeks away from the trade deadline, the Panthers have two clear needs, according to Kevin Patra of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.com. The analyst believes a pass rusher and a linebacker are priorities for Carolina.



<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_20251010_BUS_506500_bryce-young-1024x576_799febb0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Bryce Young" class="wp-image-419535" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



“It’s been a Jekyll and Hyde few weeks for the Panthers’ defense, which has pitched a shutout allowed 42 points, then slowed Miami for long stretches. Still, this team is off to its best start since 2021. If the Panthers want to remain in go-for-it mode ahead of the deadline, they still need help at linebacker and pass rusher,“ he said.



Carolina will clash against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, hoping to extend their good moment and secure another win to reach the .500 mark.&nbsp;

Fresh off a dramatic 22-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals, the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Tennessee Titans </a>want to build on that victory and show the rest of the league the Week 5 success wasn’t a fluke.&nbsp;



After entering the fourth quarter down 21-6, the Titans scored 16 unanswered points to snatch the win in a hard-fought, close matchup. Running back Tony Pollard scored a touchdown to go along with 14 carries for 67 yards, while wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught five passes for 131 yards.&nbsp;



Ward went 21 of 39 for 265 yards against the Cardinals, looking more comfortable than ever in his still-young <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> career. Ridley became his best partner and the wide receiver is confident the team can only get better.&nbsp;



<h2>Calvin Ridley has clear plans for Titans’ offense&nbsp;</h2>



During a midweek press conference, Ridley explained what he expects to see from the team after securing their first week. The Titans will go against another struggling team, the 1-4 Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6, and Ridley wants everybody playing at a high level.



<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_20251010_BUS_506499_cam-ward-1024x576_1bb33856.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans" class="wp-image-500153" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans</figcaption></figure>



“Yeah that was big, definitely a confidence booster for the offense, for a lot of players,” he said. “We need to do more of that style of play. We just want to go 1-0 every week,” Ridley continued. “That’s the motto right now, just try to go in there and get a win each week. Basically one play at a time, just let it come.”



In five games, Ridley has caught 15 passes on 34 targets, racking up 272 yards. The Titans appear to be improving, but they need to confirm it on the field.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> finally inaugurated their column win on Sunday when they beat the Arizona Cardinals 22-21, escaping with a last-second victory against a competitive team.&nbsp;



Cam Ward played his best game to date, going 21 of 39 for 265 yards. He didn’t score a single touchdown, but led his team down the field, creating opportunities for teammates to find the end zone.&nbsp;



Ward can only get better from now on, and coach Brian Callahan has already outlined his plans for the former Miami quarterback.



<h2>Brian Callahan has one mission with Cam Ward</h2>



During his weekly press conference, Callahan broke down what he’s planning to do with Ward so he can have an easier path to succeed after securing his first professional win.&nbsp;

“We’re trying to make it as easy on him as possible. Some of those throws he made at the end of the game were high-level difficulty throws and really good catches, but trying to make those be the throws that have to happen a couple of times a game and the rest of it be as easy as possible, and he’s figuring that part out as we go,” he said. “I think he really calmed down in the second half and just focused on putting his eyes where they’re supposed to be and just throwing the ball where it’s supposed to go and not trying to do anything other than that.“



Ward has gone 85 of 164 for 879 yards and two touchdowns against three interceptions and 19 sacks. The Titans are far away from contention, but they are eager to lay the ground to become a Super Bowl candidate.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks </a>prepare to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. After a painful 38-35 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Seahawks are eager to bounce back and put themselves back on track amid a promising season.&nbsp;



Besides Sam Darnold delivering early on in his tenure in Seattle, other stars are shining in Mike Macdonald’s second season as head coach. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is one of them. The third-year wide receiver carried high expectations coming into this season after DK Metcalf was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers.&nbsp;



JSN has played at a high level, helping the Seahawks win games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, and Arizona Cardinals, but also putting up 100-plus-yard games against the San Francisco 49ers and the Buccaneers.



<h2>Jaxon Smith-Njigba is thriving with Seahawks&nbsp;</h2>



Connor Benintendi of “Seattle Seahawks on SI” wrote on Thursday how impactful Smith-Njigba has been for the team.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="559" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251010_BUS_506497_mike-macdonald_2-1024x559_81c1014b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=559" alt="mike-macdonald" class="wp-image-299074" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald </figcaption></figure>



“Smith-Njigba is at or near the top of the league in multiple receiving statistics, including fifth in receptions (34), second in receiving yards (534) and first in receptions of at least 20 yards (10). But he’s also been the most efficient receiver in the NFL on a down-to-down basis. According to Sumer Sports, Smith-Njigba has run just 129 routes this season, which ranked 55th in the league. His 4.14 yards per route run is by far the highest figure in the league among pass-catchers with at least 50 routes on the season,” he wrote.



The former Ohio State star is showing off all of his talents this season, telling the Seahawks that they found their new gem.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints</a> have been mentioned in several trade rumors during the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. After Derek Carr’s sudden retirement, the Saints’ chances to at least bother the rest of the NFC South dropped considerably.&nbsp;



While they won their first game of the season against the New York Giants in Week 5, the Saints are still considered a weak team that could benefit from parting with their stars while they are productive.&nbsp;



Besides Alvin Kamara becoming an intriguing option for the Los Angeles Chargers, another offensive star has drawn attention around the league.



<h2>Chris Olave linked with a move to the Pittsburgh Steelers&nbsp;</h2>



Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox named the Pittsburgh Steelers a potential trade destination for veteran wide receiver Chris Olave recently.&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_20251010_BUS_506501_chris-olave-1024x576_f5077db8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-470410" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Chris Olave #12 of the New Orleans Saints </figcaption></figure>



“If the Saints are looking to cash in veteran talent as part of their rebuild, wideout Chris Olave would likely be their top trade chip,” Knox wrote. “The 25-year-old has two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume and appears to again be healthy after injuries limited him to eight games in 2024. Olave has started all five contests this year and caught 33 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown.”



“The Ohio State product is also set to play on the fifth-year option in 2026, meaning he’s under contract for two more seasons. And, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, teams believe the Saints will be willing to sell the 25-year-old. Olave should be high on the wish list of receiver-needy teams,” he added.



Olave has caught 33 passes for 244 yards and one touchdown this season. He could be a terrific addition to Aaron Rodgers’ arsenal and a solid tandem for DK Metcalf. The Steelers are in a much better position than the Saints, and adding Olave to the mix could take them to the next level.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> will not be the starting quarterback for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a> in the game against the Steelers. Head coach Kevin Stefanski explained that he has full confidence in Dillon Gabriel, so the rookie will remain the leader of the offense in Pittsburgh.



“I think, with young football players, a lot of things that they’re seeing in game will be firsts. Certainly in the NFL. This is really the first road game. First time in Pittsburgh. Obviously, the challenges that come with playing on the road. So, I thought he’s attacked this game plan really well. Understands what we’re trying to do. He works extremely hard at the mental side of this and making sure he’s prepared. I thought he had a good week.”



A loss to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> would practically mean saying goodbye to any hope of making the playoffs with a 1-5 record and a huge deficit in the AFC North. That could bring Shedeur closer to a potential debut later in the season.



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



No. Shedeur Sanders will not start for the Browns, but for the first time this season, Kevin Stefanski will give him the opportunity to be the backup quarterback. The head coach confirmed this after a week full of controversy in Cleveland following the trade of Joe Flacco to Cincinnati.


 

 


“Yeah. Shedeur will be the backup. Like I told you guys on Wednesday, I’m always thinking about our players and what’s best for our players. And I want to make sure when it comes to young football players, particularly at the quarterback position, that you’re intentional about your decision making. That’s really all it is. So, excited for all of our guys.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a>‘ season is turned upside down and it’s only Week 6. Poised to be a Super Bowl contender, they now have a 1-4 record and quarterback Lamar Jackson is injured for a few weeks. It’s all going downhill but not for running back Derrick Henry, who is still positive the team can turn the season around.



During Thursday’s press conference, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/derrick-henry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Henry</a> said, “We can turn this thing around and get what we want to get out of the season. We just have to lock in, and everybody has just got to do more, hold each other accountable. Leaders lead.“



Henry knows that, without <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamar Jackson</a>, he is the most impactful player on the team’s offense. If he thinks the season is not over yet, then he must be the one to lift the team into new heights.



<h2>There is a problem with Henry</h2>



Usually one of the best running backs in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, Henry made a name for himself for being a monstrous presence in the backfield, capable of pushing people with ease and also exploding on big plays. However, this season he’s not had his usual output.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Derrick Henry crashing out after the fumble 🥴 (via <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NFL</a>) <a href="https://t.co/rits81k0hi">pic.twitter.com/rits81k0hi</a>— Overtime (@overtime) <a href="https://twitter.com/overtime/status/1970320949280215320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 23, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



Henry has only one 100-yard mark. Even worse, he has four straight weeks without surpassing 50 rushing yards in a game. Not only that, but he has been strangely unreliable as he has three fumbles already in the season, leading the NFL in that regard. For instance, Henry had three fumbles all last season.

<h2>The Ravens need to stay alive until the Bye Week</h2>



Baltimore plays this week and then the Bye Week comes. It needs to win its Week 6 game vs. the Rams, which is no easy feat whatsoever. But, if the team somehow makes it, the comeback might be on.



The Ravens then go to the Bye and probably recover Lamar Jackson, after that, the schedule is very winnable. They host the Bears, visit the Dolphins, play the Vikings, Browns, Jets and a Joe Burrow-less Bengals. Those might be at least five or even six wins. With that, the Ravens would be a .500 team and alive to push for a playoff berth.
