Marvin Harrison Jr. is going through a rough patch in only his second season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals’</a> wide receiver has failed to make an impact on the team after an inconsistent rookie season, in which he caught 62 passes on 116 targets for 885 yards and eight touchdowns.&nbsp;



This campaign hasn’t been much different, with Harrison catching 16 passes on 27 targets for 208 yards and two touchdowns. 



The former Ohio State star has been on the receiving end of criticism, but many are still confident that he can turn things around.&nbsp;



<h2>Former Cardinals coach details how he would work with Marvin Harrison Jr.&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



Todd Haley, former Cardinals offensive coordinator (2007-08), talked with insider Kyle Odegard to discuss Harrison’s tough start. Haley insisted that the coaches and the quarterback must keep Harrison in the loop and give him targets so he can increase his confidence.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="580" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20110416/marvin-harrison-cardinals-1024x580-1024x580.webp" alt="Marvin Harrison Jr. is the best receiver on the Cardinals&apos; roster" class="wp-image-422445" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Marvin Harrison Jr. #18 of the Arizona Cardinals </figcaption></figure>



“The quarterback generally wants to throw it to the guy he can trust, so (Harrison, Jr.) has to hold up his end of the bargain, but when guys know the ball is going to keep coming, it takes a little pressure off them and they start to gain confidence. If I’m game-planning, every play the first read would start with him. It’s not going to go to him every time, because the defense can dictate that, but (I’d try). (Trey) McBride is awesome. I think he’s great. But the ball is going to come to him naturally as things break down. That’s the way it works for tight ends. He’s going to get his 8, 10, 12 targets organically with how the game plays out,” he said.



Malik Nabers, for example, was targeted 35 times before he went down with a season-ending injury against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The Cardinals have other solid pass catchers, but if they count on Harrison to lead their receiving corps for many years, it’s time to put more attention on him.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> rookie quarterback Cam Ward backtracked from his “a**” comments after the team dropped to 0-4 against the Houston Texans. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick didn’t mince words when assessing his team’s performance, sharing a strong message about how they are playing.&nbsp;



“Everything, from interception to penalty to an incompletion by me, a bad ball. Once we passed the 50, we’re just not extending the drive. So we are keeping a book right now, we a**,” Ward said.



The Titans lost 26-0, with Ward going 10 of 26 for 108 yards against one interception and two sacks. The Titans racked up less than half the yards the Texans recorded (353 against 175) and made nearly 20 plays fewer than their opponents (65 to 46) in a game to forget.&nbsp;Ward wasn’t having any of that and let everybody know they needed to do better to at least show some fight in these games.&nbsp;



<h2>Cam Ward sends calm message ahead of Cardinals clash&nbsp;</h2>



Ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, Ward explained the reasoning behind his passionate rant. The former Florida quarterback insisted that he is trying to win.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/28175308/cam-ward-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans" class="wp-image-500153" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans</figcaption></figure>



“They’re going to blow it up no matter what, whether it’s good or bad for the Titans,” Ward said via team reporter Jim Wyatt. “So, we’re trying to win football games. That’s the biggest thing, and that’s what we’re going try to go do this week. I’m caring about my teammates and trying to win football games.”



The Titans are still winless, and the Cardinals aren’t an easy opponent. Ward and Co. will have to bring their best game to beat a team also eager to bounce back after suffering two consecutive losses.&nbsp;

A year after being traded to the Houston Texans and everything that happened afterward, Stefon Diggs will return to Highmark Stadium on Sunday night to clash with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.&nbsp;



The Patriots are 2-2 after four weeks, hoping to get over the .500 mark with a win in a game that seems personal for Diggs. The veteran wide receiver was traded from the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, becoming Allen’s go-to guy as soon as he landed in West New York.&nbsp;



Diggs left Buffalo with 445 catches for 5,372 yards and 37 touchdowns in 66 games with the Bills. He played at a solid level with the Texans before signing a three-year, $69 million deal with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patriots</a> in the postseason.&nbsp;



Allen is preparing for this duel and is looking forward to meeting with his former teammate in a divisional matchup.&nbsp;



<h2>Josh Allen previews Bills matchup against Stefon Diggs&nbsp;</h2>



ESPN Buffalo Bills reporter Alaina Getzenberg shared Allen’s words about facing Diggs for the first time with the Patriots on Wednesday, wondering if he felt some type of way about clashing with the Bills.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/28074910/Josh-Allen-with-Stefon-Diggs-former-Buffalo-Bills-teammates-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Josh Allen with Stefon Diggs, former Buffalo Bills teammates" class="wp-image-120367" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Josh Allen with Stefon Diggs, former Buffalo Bills teammates</figcaption></figure>



“Played them last year, so I don’t think it’s anything super crazy,” Allen said. “But obviously, being back in Buffalo, who knows if the emotions are going to be heightened for him, or for the fans…We’re just gonna go out there and try to perform the best we can.”



In two games against the Bills, Diggs has recorded 10 catches for 99 yards. His most recent matchup happened in October 2024, when he caught six passes for 82 yards with the Texans.&nbsp;

Bryce Young’s time in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina </a>might be coming to an end if the team continues to struggle to win games. The former No. 1 overall pick showed that he could be a capable quarterback last season, overcoming tough moments, including being benched in favor of Andy Dalton early in the campaign.



The Alabama product went 234 of 384 for 2,403 yards and 15 touchdowns against nine interceptions. This season, he’s gone 87 of 144 for 753 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions.



The Panthers enter the Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins with a 1-3 record, and people are already wondering how long they will wait for Young and coach Dave Canales to turn things around.



<h2>The next two weeks might be crucial for Bryce Young’s future in Carolina</h2>



In a recent edition of All Dolphins Podcast, Charlotte Observer columnist Scott Fowler talked about Young’s future with the Panthers. Fowler believes that the project could come to an end if Young fails to beat the Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys in the next two matchups.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/16114732/bryce-young-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Bryce Young" class="wp-image-419535" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panther</figcaption></figure>



“I mean, they’re not quite ready to give up on him or anything. but they just look around the league. He was picked No. 1 overall in 2023. They gave up a ton to move up from number 9 to number 1. So they gave up D.J. Moore, a wide receiver who’s still playing well with the Bears. They’ve had some good players here. I say they don’t have any star power. DJ Moore wasn’t like a superstar. Christian McCaffrey was, and they traded him several years ago. That was the face of the franchise for a while. 



“If Bryce had Christian McCaffrey in the backfield, it would look a lot different for sure. But yeah, they’re not quite ready to go completely south on Bryce. But I’d say they have two home games coming up, Dolphins and then Cowboys, and if they lose both of those like that last game, I mean, I think there’ll be some changes going on here,” he said.



The Panthers rank third in the NFC South division, only ahead of the New Orleans Saints. They have an intriguing team, but they have failed to deliver so far. Young’s days with the franchise could be numbered if he doesn’t improve.&nbsp;

Mac Jones continues to shine with the San Francisco 49ers, where he has looked like a legit threat to starting quarterback Brock Purdy. While Purdy has missed a couple of games due to injuries, Jones has taken advantage of every opportunity, leading the Niners to three wins with him under center.&nbsp;



The third win came against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. The 49ers needed overtime to beat Matthew Stafford and Co., with Jones playing at a high level again.&nbsp;



The fifth-year veteran went 33 of 49 for 342 yards and two touchdowns. He added four carries for 5 yards.&nbsp;



Jones found a partner in wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, who finished with 10 receptions for 142 yards. The 49ers are now the sole leaders of the NFC West division, Jones playing at a high level and making people wonder if Purdy’s job is in jeopardy.&nbsp;



<h2>Kendrick Bourne says Mac Jones is having fun in San Francisco&nbsp;</h2>



After a rocky tenure with the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> New England Patriots</a>, Jones served as Trevor Lawrence’s backup in Jacksonville. He has found himself in a good position under Kyle Shanahan, looking like the player he could never become in New England.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/03131111/Mac-Jones-QB-for-the-San-Francisco-49ers-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Mac Jones, QB for the San Francisco 49ers" class="wp-image-502707" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Mac Jones, QB for the San Francisco 49ers</figcaption></figure>



In the wake of his good performance, Bourne praised Jones and said that he is having fun in San Francisco, contrary to what he felt in Foxborough under Bill Belichick.&nbsp;



“It’s just awesome to see him in this space,” Bourne said about Jones, per Nick Shook of the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL’s</a> website. “How I seen him in New England was a different world for him. So to see him now, with the peace he has, he’s playing free and having fun. I think it’s a big part of the game for him and it’s showing.”



Jones’ good performances could bring drama to the 49ers, but it remains to be seen if he’s given the keys to the car or Purdy retains his job.&nbsp;

Derek Carr shocked the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints </a>and the rest of the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> world when he retired from the game ahead of the 2025 season. The veteran quarterback retired due to a shoulder injury in his throwing arm.&nbsp;



The Saints are now struggling to find rhythm and be competitive with Spencer Rattler under center. Carr hinted at a potential return to the field at some point, but nothing is certain at this moment.&nbsp;



In 169 games with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders and the Saints, Carr completed 3,765 of 5,785 pass attempts for 41,245 yards and 257 touchdowns against 112 interceptions. New Orleans wasn’t expected to compete this season, but Carr’s absence only worsened their situation.&nbsp;



While he recovers from this issue, another team has emerged as a potential landing spot for Carr, as long as his shoulder injury is fine. Several teams are playing without their starting quarterback, and Carr starts to make sense for them.&nbsp;



<h2>NFL insider says Bengals could contact Derek Carr&nbsp;</h2>



In a piece published on Wednesday, NFL insider Jeremy Fowler floated the idea of the Cincinnati Bengals reaching out to Carr to check how his injury is healing, so he can replace Joe Burrow, who suffered a toe injury in Week 2.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/29114002/derek-carr-qb-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Derek Carr New Orleans Saints QB" class="wp-image-387666" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Derek Carr #4 of the New Orleans Saints </figcaption></figure>



“The Bengals still believe in Jake Browning, who was far from the only culprit in Denver on Monday, but Cincinnati has too much skill position talent to accept the status quo,” Fowler explained. “At some point, it could need reinforcements at the game’s most important position. It might be worth calling up recently retired Derek Carr to check on how his shoulder injury is healing.”



Cincinnati is 2-2, with Jake Browning looking average in the last two games. They are still confident that Browning is the guy for the job, but if they continue to play at a low level, perhaps Carr’s phone will be ringing soon.&nbsp;

Bryce Young and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> have shown a better face in the start to the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, but they haven’t been able to win more than one game in four duels. The NFC West franchise is 1-3 ahead of the Week 5 duel against the Miami Dolphins after another lopsided loss to the New England Patriots (42-13).&nbsp;



Young’s performances haven’t been terrible, but the lack of success has played against him, and now his future with the Panthers might be up in the air. After revitalizing his career in 2024, even after he was benched for Andy Dalton, Young started the season with renewed expectations.&nbsp;



So far in four games, he has completed 87 of 144 pass attempts for 753 yards and five touchdowns. Young has been intercepted three times and sacked six times.&nbsp;While these numbers aren’t necessarily terrible, the Panthers’ record is a source of concern among fans and analysts and some think we might be seeing the last of Young in Carolina.&nbsp;



<h2>NFL analyst says Panthers could part with Bryce Young after this season&nbsp;</h2>



Jeff Howe of The Athletic wrote on Tuesday that Young overcame big roadblocks during his still-young NFL career. He ranked 18th among all qualified QBs in expected points per dropback (0.07), behind some of the best quarterbacks in the league last season, Jayden Daniels (0.09) and Sam Darnold (0.08).&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/19123106/Bryce-Young-7-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-358866" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



This season, however, he ranks 30th, only ahead of rookie Cam Ward, 41-year-old veteran Joe Flacco, and Bengals backup Jake Browning.&nbsp;



“At this point, the Panthers would be all but declaring their intentions to split with Young if they benched him again,” Howe wrote. “If it does reach that point, it’s also likely the Panthers would be barreling toward their eighth consecutive season with a losing record. And since owner David Tepper bought the team in 2018, he’s never employed a head coach for three full seasons, which effectively puts Canales on the clock. This, of course, is the type of turnover that keeps organizations in constant peril. It may also lead to the breaking point that opens the door for Young to find a fresh start with another team.”



The Panthers could put an end to this partnership soon, as Young has yet to reach the level the team expected from him when they drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots </a>are competing in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season after a 4-13 record last season. The AFC East franchise brought new weapons for second-year quarterback Drake Maye, most notably veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who is off to a terrific start with the team.&nbsp;



Diggs has recorded 19 catches on 22 targets for 213 yards during the first four games of the season. The Patriots are 2-2 after four weeks, already matching half the wins they got last season and way earlier (they were 1-6 ahead of Week 8, when they beat the New York Jets).&nbsp;



Maye has played at a solid level, although he still has things to polish in his game. Coach Mike Vrabel made it clear the quarterback still has things to learn, but he’s confident Maye can make it where the Patriots expect him to arrive.&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst raves about Drake Maye’s strong start with Patriots&nbsp;</h2>



NFL analyst Steve Palazzolo heaped high praise on Maye during Tuesday’s edition of “Check the Mic.” Palazzolo and co-host Sam Monson noted that Maye has shown improvements from what he displayed last season. More specifically, Palazzolo said that his accuracy looks considerably better.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/24140725/drake-maye-2-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots" class="wp-image-425540" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots </figcaption></figure>



“Drake Maye is playing great football right now,” Palazzolo said. “I think he’s making good decisions with the football, for a guy who has these accuracy issues coming out, missing the easy stuff… It’s a good start.”



In four games, Maye has completed 91 of 123 pass attempts (74%, almost 10% more than last season) for 988 yards and seven touchdowns against two interceptions. He has rushed the ball 24 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns.&nbsp;



Maye is playing more like the quarterback the Patriots expect to lead them to the promised land again, and if he continues on this trajectory, dreams of another dynasty could be harbored among fans.&nbsp;

The Tennessee Titans are still looking for their first win of the 2025 NFL season. They were shut down by the Houston Texans in Week 4, which didn’t sit well with many people, including rookie quarterback Cam Ward.&nbsp;



The former Florida star didn’t mince words when assessing his team’s current moment, going off on every unit and saying everybody needs to do a better job.&nbsp;



“If we keeping a buck right now, we (expletive),” Ward said. “We 0-4. At this point, we got nothing to lose. We dropped a quarter of our f—ing games and we’ve yet to do anything. So we have to lock in. Especially myself. From the offensive line, from the defensive line, from the special teams, to all three phases we have to play together. We have not played together this year yet.”



Similarly, coach Brian Callahan sent a clear message to the team, as he thinks they need to play at a better level.&nbsp;



<h2>Brian Callahan details what Titans must do to improve&nbsp;</h2>



In the wake of the Texans duel, Callahan talked about the positive things he’s seen from the Titans, but also what he thinks they need to do more to play at a higher level.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/28175308/cam-ward-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans" class="wp-image-500153" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans</figcaption></figure>



“I also know how the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> works,” Callahan said. “I think we’re running the ball well. I think there have been some really good things defensively. I hate to say anything has been good enough to this point. We’re 0-4. We’ve got to do more of it, and more of it more often.”



Tennessee is 3-18 with Callahan on the sideline. He has tried different things to ignite something inside his team, even giving up play-calling to focus on talking with players on both sides of the ball. The Titans will return to action on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> will visit the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season for one of the most anticipated games of the week. Both teams boast a 3-1 record and lead their respective divisions ahead of this duel.&nbsp;



Sam Darnold is balling, and his connection with Jaxon Smith-Njigba couldn’t be better, but the Buccaneers also received a big boost for this matchup. Veteran wide receiver Chris Godwin, who hadn’t played since he suffered a dislocated left ankle, high ankle sprain, fractured fibula, and torn deltoid in October 2024, returned to the field against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4.&nbsp;



While he had a discreet performance, catching three passes for 26 yards, coach Todd Bowles is excited about what Godwin brings to the table.&nbsp;



<h2>Todd Bowles warns Seahawks about Chris Godwin</h2>



During the latest episode of his SiriusXM <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Radio show, Bowles indicated that Godwin can only get better as he continues to get more playing time.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/12130758/Chris-Godwin-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Chris Godwin" class="wp-image-353963" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Chris Godwin #14 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers</figcaption></figure>



“The more he plays, the better you’re gonna see him look, and we expect to see a whole different Chris next week,” Bowles said. “Just having him out there, seeing No. 14 out there is unbelievable. I mean, the things he did to get back, the work he’s put in, the person he is, the toughness that he shows and how smart he is as a player and makes us 10 times better — you can’t wait till he gets his feet underneath him and he really starts helping us because he is gonna be a terror.”



Tampa Bay has rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka making noise to start the season, and the addition of Godwin can bring more positive things to the squad. The Seahawks duel should be one to enjoy for neutral fans.&nbsp;

Sam Darnold is off to a terrific start in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The veteran quarterback is playing at a high level again after posting the best season of his career in 2024.&nbsp;



After playing 17 games with the Minnesota Vikings, where he recorded 361 completions on 545 attempts for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns against 12 interceptions, Darnold is playing at a higher level in his first campaign with the Seattle Seahawks, going 70 of 100 for 905 yards and five touchdowns against two interceptions.&nbsp;



Darnold has led the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Seahawks</a> to a 3-1 record, as they fight the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams for the No. 1 position in the NFC West division.&nbsp; Seattle will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) in Week 5, hoping to extend their good moment against a difficult opponent.&nbsp;



<h2>Sam Darnold ties Patrick Mahomes with impressive record&nbsp;</h2>



The former No. 2 overall pick has tied Patrick Mahomes in an important category. Since the start of the 2024 campaign, Darnold has completed seven game-winning drives, the same as the Kansas City Chiefs superstar, according to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> insider John Todd.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/14194933/patrick-mahomes-before-eagles-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Patrick Mahomes warming up before the game vs. Eagles in 2025." class="wp-image-491975" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Patrick Mahomes warming up before the game vs. Eagles </figcaption></figure>



The Seahawks entered the 2025 season with high expectations, and they haven’t disappointed so far. The veteran quarterback found his rhythm last season when he replaced an injured J.J. McCarthy on the Minnesota Vikings.&nbsp;



Now in Seattle, Darnold is taking his game to a different level, and the team looks like an early Super Bowl candidate. The race for the NFC West is tight, but when it comes to the clutch, it seems as though Seattle has the edge.&nbsp;

Stefon Diggs’ tenure with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> is off to a good start, despite the concerns about his health and fit with the team. The star wide receiver has adapted to the team in a short time and is making noise.&nbsp;



In four games, Diggs has been targeted 22 times, catching 18 passes for 213 yards. While he hasn’t scored yet, Diggs has played at a solid level, burying any doubts people had about him.&nbsp;



Patriots reporter Mike Reiss gushed over the former Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills star on Wednesday, noting that Diggs has seamlessly made an impact on his new team.&nbsp;



<h2>Stefon Diggs receives high praise from analyst&nbsp;</h2>



Reiss wrote that Diggs signed with the Patriots surrounded by uncertainties. He put them to rest quickly, helping the Pats to a 2-2 record ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Bills, showing that he still has gas left in the tank.&nbsp;

“While his on-field performances continue to evolve with the Patriots, Diggs has also emerged as a leader in the locker room,” he said. “Since joining the team, Diggs has inspired teammates with pregame speeches. He has also developed a rapport with second-year quarterback Drake Maye, similar to what he did with Allen (then in his third season) when the Bills acquired him from the Minnesota Vikings in 2020.”



The Patriots are showing a much different face in 2025 after a disappointing campaign last year. Diggs has helped his quarterbacks’ level wherever he’s gone, and Maye doesn’t seem to be the exception.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indianapolis Colts</a> suffered their first loss of the 2025 season against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The AFC South team couldn’t keep up with the NFC West co-leaders and saw its unbeaten run end with a 27-20 loss.&nbsp;



Veteran cornerback Xavien Howard was on the receiving end of criticism after the game. Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua had a field day against Howard in a game where he allowed seven catches on 10 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown.&nbsp;



Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo was asked about Howard’s performances, but he rejected any notion that the CB was responsible for the team’s loss.&nbsp;

Instead, Anarumo said that the entire defense, including himself, needs to do better. The former Cincinnati Bengals coordinator went as far as saying that he must perform better instead of blaming anybody on his squad.&nbsp;

“The combination of all of it,” Anarumo said on Tuesday, via the Indy Star. “You’re playing against an elite passing game with two elite receivers and a quarterback, and at some point, rust or no rust, we’ve got to make sure we’re out there and guarding the guys we’re tasked to guard. We’ve all got to do a better job. Not just X, but me.”



He continued to defend Howard, saying that everybody would be evaluated moving forward, and they would make decisions based on what they see.&nbsp;



“We’ll evaluate everybody, every game,” Anarumo said. “X is a player on the team, so he’s certainly going to get evaluated. … Not only X, but everybody will always be evaluated each week, based on performance. We’ll always take a look at all those things and move forward accordingly.”



The Colts will clash with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5, hoping to bounce back and play like the team that delighted fans in the first three weeks of the season.&nbsp;

Kirk Cousins was mentioned as a potential target for quarterback-needy teams during the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> offseason. The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers were mentioned as potential landing spots for the veteran after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons </a>coach Raheem Morris benched him in the final stretch of the 2024 season in favor of Michael Penix Jr.&nbsp;



The Browns went with Joe Flacco, and the Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers, leaving Cousins without any real option to have playing time. Ever since Joe Burrow went down with a toe injury in Week 2, Cousins has been linked with a move to the Bengals.&nbsp;



Cincinnati is 2-2 after another humbling loss in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Jake Browning did a solid job against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 (21 of 32 for 241 yards and two touchdowns), but failed to make the same impact against the Minnesota Vikings and Broncos, completing 33 of 52 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown against two interceptions and six sacks.&nbsp;The Bengals still have hope for Browning, but it remains to be seen how much longer they will be positive on the quarterback.&nbsp;



<h2>Kirk Cousins talks Bengals trade rumors&nbsp;</h2>



Ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline, Cousins discussed his preparations for that moment. The former Washington Commanders quarterback admitted he’s working to be ready for whatever happens next in his career.

“Right now, it’s just about the role I’m in, and focused on helping us win football games and being ready for the next challenges we face,” Cousins said. “I’ll stay sharp, and you never know what the league will bring.”



The Bengals are 2-2, and they can still make a run for the playoffs. However, if Browning continues to play at the current level, the possibility of landing Cousins might increase in the coming weeks.&nbsp;

After starting the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>season 2-0, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> are 2-2 now and sitting fourth in the NFC West division standings. They lost two close games against the San Francisco 49ers (16-15) and the Seattle Seahawks (23-20) in the past two weeks, confirming that they can compete, but they still miss something to make it to the next level.&nbsp;



Star quarterback Kyler Murray has been questioned over his lack of success with the team, and some think this season could define his future with the franchise. Murray, 28, has been with the Cardinals since 2019, posting a 38-47-1 record while going 1,951 of 2,910 for 20,240 yards and 121 touchdowns against 60 interceptions.&nbsp;



Murray has drawn a lot of attention ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, a winless team trying to show a different face.&nbsp;



<h2>Stephen A. Smith casts doubt on Kyler Murray’s future with Cardinals&nbsp;</h2>



On Monday’s episode of ESPN’s “First Take,” veteran analyst Stephen A. Smith questioned Kyler Murray’s lack of success with the Cardinals, especially in the playoffs.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/09151351/Kyler-Murray-2-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Kyler Murray in 2024" class="wp-image-373513" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Kyler Murray #1 of the Arizona Cardinals </figcaption></figure>



“I don’t know – what I will say is that he’s been in the league long enough where you haven’t had a single playoff win. We got to pay attention to that. We got to pay attention to the fact that you’re costing the team about $43 million. We got to pay attention to the fact that he was sacked six times last night, so he was under constant pressure,” Smith said.&nbsp;



He lauded the quarterback’s ability to score back-to-back touchdowns against the Seahawks in Week 4, but still wondered if the player was the problem in Arizona.&nbsp;



“I think we’ve seen him step up in the way that he stepped up with those two touchdown drives to tie the game. 20-20 after being down 20-6, he deserves a lot of credit for that. But the level of consistency has been lacking. And when you look at it from that standpoint, and you see the ascension of other quarterbacks in this league, you do have to take a look at it. Is it him? Is it the coaching? Is it the system? I will tell you that it does give you cause to pause,” he added.



Murray has played under different coaches in his seven-year career, and the team’s officials have failed to give him a competitive team. This may be happening again this season, where he’s playing at a decent level.&nbsp;
