The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers"> Carolina Panthers </a>prepare to visit the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. After a bounce-back win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11, the Panthers got closer to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South division standings.



A Buccaneers loss and a Panthers win in Week 12 would put the Panthers atop the standings ahead of another difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13.



Head coach Dave Canales, who has led the team to a 6-5 record, is well aware of the importance of Monday’s game and has tried to convince his players that this will be a big game.



<h2>Dave Canales on the importance of playing in primetime again</h2>



In a conversation with “Panthers Talk,” Canales reflected on what playing in primetime would mean for his team. The coach revealed that he’s trying to fire up some players by telling them how special those types of games are.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531468_Dave-The-Canal-Canales_4679eb31.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Head coach Dave Canales of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-481054" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Dave Canales of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



“It’s an unbelievable championship opportunity. It’s exactly the type of opportunity that t’s me up,” Canales said. “It’s so easy to sell to the team. You don’t have to get guys fired up for these types of games, but I do. It is my job to point to these games and say, ‘This is a championship moment. It’s going to feel right. Those of you who haven’t been to an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> playoffs game, there’s more cameras. It’s under the light sometimes, it’s a special environment.’ We’re playing against a playoff-caliber team in the Niners, and everything is just right for this opportunity. We need these types of challenges to take the next step and grow into the team that I believe we can.”



The 49ers (7-2) are in the middle of a race to win the NFC West division. They can’t afford to lose against the Panthers, which will raise the stakes for each team.&nbsp;

Drake Maye took a playful jab at Stefon Diggs ahead of the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> New England Patriots</a> duel against the Cincinnati Bengals. The wide receiver revealed on Wednesday that he broke his finger a couple of weeks ago, noting that Maye’s way of throwing the ball has helped him with the injury.



“I broke my finger like a couple weeks ago,” Diggs told reporters. “So, I was just telling (Drake Maye), ‘Hey, I love the way you throw the ball.’ I really appreciate it. Just because he has that touch.”



The Patriots will try to improve to 10-2 with a win on Sunday. They are looking great on the field, and the chemistry continues to build, especially between their offensive stars.&nbsp;



<h2>Drake Maye says Stefon Diggs is “dramatic”</h2>



When asked about Diggs’ injury, Maye didn’t miss his chance to playfully diss his teammate, calling him “dramatic” for the way he reacts whenever he gets hit.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531464_QB-Drake-Maye-of-the-New-England-Patriots-2025_2755960b.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="QB Drake Maye of the New England Patriots (2025)" class="wp-image-527493"></figure><figcaption>QB Drake Maye of the New England Patriots (2025)</figcaption></figure>



“Stef’s probably dramatic,” Maye said with a smirk. “Every time he gets hit he lays on the ground and acts like he just got hit by an 18-wheeler or something. So he’s — No, he’s awesome. I think just try to throw a catchable ball. That goes with being accurate. He’s (Diggs) awesome. He’s got great hands, one of the best hands I’ve seen. He’s effortless catching it. When it gets cold out, he likes catching more with his body. But when the lights are on he’s got one of the best games in the league.”



New England has become one of the biggest stories of the season, and if they continue to play this way, the rest of the AFC will have issues moving past them.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a>‘ 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season has experienced more downs than ups, as they have only won three of the 10 games they have played. Jonathan Gannon is reportedly on the hot seat, and several reports suggest that he might not be the one leaving the organization at the end of the season.



The campaign didn’t start the best way, with second-year wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. struggling to find his pace and James Conner suffering a devastating injury. Quarterback Kyler Murray has missed five games, too, which has helped rumors about his potential exit.



Murray has made the playoffs only once during his seven-year tenure with the Cardinals. Some have speculated about the end of his stint, and one team might have set its sights on the former No. 1 overall pick.



<h2>New York Jets reportedly a potential landing spot for Kyler Murray</h2>



Dan Graziano of ESPN wrote on Wednesday that the Jets plan to continue starting Tyrod Taylor for the remainder of the season. After that, they will try to find alternatives, whether via the draft or by landing a veteran, mentioning Murray directly.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531466_Kyler-Murray-quarterback-for-the-Arizona-Cardinals_912df1ef.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals." class="wp-image-472696" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



“The move is not expected to be temporary,” Graziano wrote. “Unless Taylor gets injured (which he has some history of doing), I don’t get the sense the Jets will go back to Fields this season. And there will certainly be a new quarterback in New York next year, whether it’s via the draft or a veteran outside solution such as Kyler Murray. The Jets owe Fields $10 million in guaranteed salary next year and will take a $22 million dead-money cap hit for 2026 when they inevitably release him in the offseason. Add that to the $35 million dead-money hit they already have on their 2026 cap for Rodgers, and that’ll make $57 million in 2026 cap charges for quarterbacks no longer on the roster. Not ideal.”



New York has won only two games this season. They have been competitive, but have failed to secure wins. Justin Fields was deemed the right guy for Aaron Glenn’s project at MetLife Stadium, but the experiment didn’t work out. A change of air could benefit Murray, but this appears to be just speculation.&nbsp;

The <a href="http://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints</a> will face the Atlanta Falcons for the first time in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>season. Neither team is performing well, as they have won a combined five games with 15 total losses. Even in a bad moment, they are eager to beat each other.



Kellen Moore will coach his first Saints-Falcons game on Sunday, and he expressed his excitement to enter the rivalry. The first-year head coach won’t be the only one making his debut in this matchup, as his rookie quarterback will face the Falcons for the first time, too.



The Saints entered the bye week after upsetting the Carolina Panthers as visitors, and they hope to continue the momentum with another divisional win.



<h2>Tyler Shough shares expectations for first Saints-Falcons game</h2>



Talking with reporters on Wednesday, Tyler Shough shared his expectations ahead of his first duel against the Falcons. The Louisville Cardinals product noted that defensive end Cam Jordan has strong feelings about the Falcons.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531467_tyler-shough_c3ec81bc.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints" class="wp-image-518100" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints</figcaption></figure>



“Man, at least from Cam, he’s probably said enough,” Shough said. “He freakin’ hates them. I’m obviously excited to get on it. I’m obviously new to the rivalry. But, I can feel it, though. It feels a little bit different, for sure. And I think that’s a good thing. I think everyone has rivals and you don’t change your process, but you change the emotion of the city. 



There’s a reactionary component to everyone in the city and I think you want to go out and play harder. Everybody I saw was like ‘Great job … go beat Atlanta next week, no one really cares about anything else.’ I like it because that’s who we’re playing next and that’s who we’ve got to beat. Obviously, you sense that for sure, and we’re going to do everything we can.”



Shough has played four games since taking over from Spencer Rattler. He has gone 51 of 83 for 586 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions.&nbsp;

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans"> Tennessee Titans </a>prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12 of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>season. After a 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans, the Titans dropped to 1-9, having lost their last five games.



Wide receiver Calvin Ridley is out for the remainder of the season, and the Titans are most likely getting a top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Even though fans don’t expect them to win many games for the rest of the campaign, interim head coach Mike McCoy still wants to get the best from his team.



The Seahawks duel won’t be easy for the Titans, but they are set to put up a good fight against Mike Macdonald’s team.



<h2>Mike McCoy wants Titans to be more consistent</h2>



Talking with reporters on Wednesday, McCoy made it clear he wants to see the Titans compete from start to finish and limit their mistakes to a minimum.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531465_cam-the-cameron-ward_bf2bb3db.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-473652" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Cameron Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans </figcaption></figure>



“You look at a game and you look at something and you’re right there,” McCoy said. “You have to find a way to make those plays to get up 10 or get the big stop on third down so you get that opportunity to win it. You watch every game and you look at it, there’s certain games where we were right there. You’ve got to be more consistent and make the plays that present themselves so you can win those games.”



That is what drove them to their first and only win of the season, in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. They have seven more games to play to finish the campaign on a strong note, but they can’t afford to make mistakes when it matters the most.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons </a>are one of the most disappointing teams in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. After a 3-2 start that included wins against the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills, they have lost five games in a row.&nbsp;



Second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffered a potentially season-ending injury against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, worsening their situation. At 3-7, the Falcons are looking for answers in a season that hasn’t gone their way.&nbsp;



These developments could end up in several offseason changes, which could include head coach Raheem Morris.&nbsp;



<h2>Insider says Raheem Morris could lose his job</h2>



NFL insider Ari Meirov shared on Tuesday’s edition of “NFL Spotlight” that the Falcons are the “No. 1 hot-spot in the NFL” when it comes to potential firings. Amid a terrible season, Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot could be shown the exit door.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251119_BUS_530412_raheem-morris_e5c6ceb5.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Raheem Morris" class="wp-image-420426" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Raheem Morris of the Falcons</figcaption></figure>



“The way they handled this rebuild and roster and putting it all together,” Meirov said. “If you’re not going to be winning, it’s a reckless way to do it, and it eventually comes back to bite you.”



Meirov reports that the Falcons’ brass will check everything to ensure the organization is in the right position to compete:



“I think the ownership group is going to have to take a hard look at everybody here, because these are guys they decided to keep when they fired Arthur Smith the first time,” Meirov said. “Terry Fontenot, Rich McKay, they are the ones who convinced ownership to go out there and hire Raheem Morris over that list of Mike Vrabel, Ben Johnson and Mike Macdonald and Bill Belichick and Jim Harbaugh. The people who convinced Arthur Blank to do it were Terry Fontenot and Rich McKay. There’s going to be a lot of real, serious discussions here in Atlanta as this year goes on.”&nbsp;



Atlanta will face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, hoping to snap their losing streak. However, a loss against their archrivals would make things more difficult for Morris and Co.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots </a>are one of the biggest stories of the 2025 NFL season. They boast a 9-2 record and hold the No. 2 seed in the AFC (only behind the 9-2 Denver Broncos), awaiting what the Indianapolis Colts do when they return from their bye week.&nbsp;



Drake Maye has been the catalyst of the Patriots’ turnaround after a 4-13 2024 campaign. The second-year quarterback has earned MVP buzz during the first 11 weeks of the season, but not everybody is sold on his team’s chances to compete in the playoffs.&nbsp;



On Friday, Cam Newton, who also played for the Patriots, cast doubt on the team’s real strength. Newton admitted they were playing well, but they hadn’t faced enough strong teams to have people fired up.



“The thing that I have a problem with,” Newton said on “First Take.” “Is if you keep playing sorry scrubs, then you’re going to have this falsetto of a mentality going into the playoffs, and it has one-and-done written all over it.”



<h2>Drake Maye responds to Cam Newton&nbsp;</h2>



On Monday, Maye was asked about Newton’s remarks. He didn’t engage in any exchange with the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>MVP and simply said the comments were made for entertainment.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251119_BUS_530408_drake-maye-qb_9716df0f.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots QB" class="wp-image-415471" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots </figcaption></figure>



“Oh no, I don’t even know what show he’s on,” Maye explained. “I think they get paid to make remarks and make certain comments. So, I just worry about what people in our organization think, and worry about we think and what my teammates think. People are going to have different opinions. I’m just going out there on Sunday and worrying about ourselves.”



The Patriots will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. Joe Flacco and Co. can make things difficult for the Patriots, but they are set to extend their winning streak to nine games.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a> will return to action on Sunday in a much-anticipated matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. While they aren’t as dominant as before, the Chiefs remain a dangerous opponent, and beating them would boost Indianapolis’ confidence for the remainder of the season.&nbsp;



After suffering a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9, the Colts beat the Atlanta Falcons 31-25 in Week 10. They have won five of their last games and a win against the Chiefs would keep them in the race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.&nbsp;



Kansas City is in the middle of a two-game losing streak. They have a 5-5 record and rank third in the AFC West division, trailing the Denver Broncos (9-2) and the Los Angeles Chargers (7-4).&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst predicts Colts will edge out Chiefs in Week 12</h2>



Despite living in different realities, many expect this game to be close. The Colts would reach a new level with a win, while the Chiefs would be one game below the .500 mark.&nbsp;There’s a lot at stake at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, but CBS Sports’ John Breech thinks the Colts will get a 27-24 win: 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251119_BUS_530409_reid-before-jaguars-game_dda89552.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Andy Reid before a game against the Jaguars." class="wp-image-509846" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Andy Reid before a game against the Jaguars.</figcaption></figure>



“The Colts have a chance to roll into Kansas City and deliver a knockout blow to the Chiefs’ division title chances while also putting their playoff hopes on life support. The Colts will be coming into this game off a bye, which means that the NFL’s leading rusher, Jonathan Taylor, will have had some time to rest his legs. Again, and I can’t repeat this enough, I hate picking against the Chiefs at home, but I can’t pick against the Colts here. Indiana Jones conquers Kansas City,” he said.



This game can change the trajectory of the season for each team, but the Chiefs are the ones with the most to lose.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> are back on track after a hard-fought 30-27 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Dave Canales’ team sits at 6-5 ahead of Week 12, with renewed expectations for the remainder of the season.&nbsp;



Bryce Young put up a show against the Falcons, finishing 31 of 45 for 448 yards and three touchdowns. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was his best partner, as they connected on eight passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns.&nbsp;



The running game wasn’t as effective as before, only racking up 47 yards. However, running back Chuba Hubbard celebrated one of his teammates finding the end zone and his pace again.&nbsp;



<h2>Chuba Hubbard hypes up Xavier Legette after touchdown&nbsp;</h2>



Xavier Legette scored for the Panthers in the first series of the second half. Young threw a 36-yard pass to cut the Falcons’ lead to 21-16. Legette, who was on the receiving end of criticism, received strong support from Hubbard.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251119_BUS_530410_xavier-leg-legette_9a23d9aa.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Legette has lots of potential" class="wp-image-469198" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Xavier Legette #17 of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



“The celebration was amazing, but the biggest thing that I look at from that moment is just the progression and work that he’s put in,” Hubbard said. “He’s a great player. He’s been resilient. He’s had to deal with adversity. To see him get all the (negative) media attention and all this other stuff kind of coming at his ear here and there — fans saying this and that. And just continuing to work hard, put his head down and just do what he does. And then for it to show up the way it does, it’s good to see.”



The Panthers have pulled off big wins this season, but they need to find consistency. That starts with Young, who often swaps terrific performances with quiet games. The San Francisco 49ers will be a good test to see where they stand in Week 12.

Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky issued a warning to the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots"> New England Patriots</a> amid a 9-2 season. The Patriots come off a 27-14 win over the New York Jets in Week 11, becoming the first team with nine victories and confirming they are one of the best squads in the entire league.&nbsp;



Drake Maye is having a terrific second year with the Pats, going 230 of 320 for 2,836 yards and 20 touchdowns in 11 games this season. The quarterback has drawn MVP buzz thanks to his performances and his team’s record.&nbsp;



The defense has been solid, too, limiting dangerous opponents such as the Pittsburgh Steelers to 14 points, the Buffalo Bills to 20 points, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to 23 points.&nbsp;As solid as the defense has looked this campaign, Orlovsky believes they might be in trouble against teams that run the ball.



<h2>Dan Orlovsky urges Patriots to stop relying on nickel defense&nbsp;</h2>



During Tuesday’s episode of ESPN’s “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Live,” Orlovsky shared his concerns about the Patriots playing too much nickel defense. More specifically, he said the Patriots would struggle against heavy-run offenses.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251119_BUS_530411_mike-vrabel_f78b4475.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Mike Vrabel New England Patriots HC" class="wp-image-515256" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots.</figcaption></figure>



“In 2025, I can’t allow you to play a safe defense and still have success,” Orlovsky said. “They’re in nickel, it feels like, on every single snap. … New England’s using the nickel the third-most in the NFL. In 2025, when it’s the year of tight ends and smash-mouth football and playing under center. As great as the New England story has been, if New England consistently thinks that they’re going to be allowed to line up and play nickel defense, in a win-or-go-home game against some teams in the AFC that can and will play smash-mouth, multiple tight ends, fullback-on-the-field football, it’ll be an early exit if they get into the playoffs.”



The rest of the schedule doesn’t seem to be dangerous to the Patriots in that regard. The only two teams with solid running games are the Bills and the Baltimore Ravens, whom they face in Weeks 15 and 16, respectively.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots </a>head coach Mike Vrabel shared his thoughts on Cam Newton’s controversial comments about the team’s 2025 season. Newton, who was a member of the Patriots for two years and their starting quarterback in 2020, refused to give credit to his former team after they improved to 9-2 on Thursday.&nbsp;



“It has fool’s gold written all over them,” Newton said of the Patriots on ESPN’s “First Take.” “The thing I have a problem with is if you keep playing sorry scrubs, then you’re going to have this falsetto of a mentality going into the playoffs and it has one-and-done written all over it.”



The Patriots beat the New York Jets 27-14 in Week 11 to become the first team with nine wins this campaign. Newton, however, didn’t find it that impressive, given the strength of their schedule.&nbsp;



<h2>Mike Vrabel doesn’t take issue with Cam Newton’s words&nbsp;</h2>



During a Monday appearance on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show,” Vrabel reacted to Newton’s comments. The former Tennessee Titans coach said his team was focused on getting better regardless of the external noise.&nbsp;

“Nothing’s weird to me, because people can come on the radio or, you know what I mean?” Vrabel said. “It’s just (saying) things that get their attention. We are OK with that. I promise you, we were OK with it. Anything that anybody says, we’re going to come to work. We’re going to focus on us. We’re going to try to improve, and we’re going to focus on the Bengals and going on the road, trying to get our 10th win. That’s all we’re going to focus on.”



New England will visit Paycor Stadium to clash with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. That won’t be an easy matchup for the Pats’ defense, but they can punish the Bengals’ weak defense to secure the 10th win of the campaign.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is playing at a high level in the 2025 <a href="http://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. The No. 8 overall pick in this year’s draft has become the go-to guy for Bryce Young, surpassing Xavier Legette and any other wide receiver in the pecking order.&nbsp;



McMillan comes off his best game to date, posting eight receptions on 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns. He helped Young record a 448-yard afternoon, which became the single-game passing yards record in franchise history.&nbsp;



McMillan’s performance drew him plenty of praise, with Damien Harris, a former running back turned analyst, giving him his flowers on CBS Sports.&nbsp;



“I want to give some love to Tetairoa McMillan. It was a breakout game for him, but he’s been playing like this all season long, like a true wide receiver one. He hasn’t gotten the love or the credit because the offense has been so poor at times. He’s delivering. This is a cornerstone piece for the Carolina Panthers moving forward,” he said.



<h2>Dave Canales explains why Panthers gave Tetairoa McMillan a bigger role&nbsp;</h2>



In his second season as the Panthers’ head coach, Dave Canales has the team second in the NFC South division with a 6-5 record. Canales explained why McMillan was used a lot in slots en route to his terrific game.

“Just trying to move him around, trying to make sure he doesn’t get a hard down every play,” Canales said. “There’s a lot of things that defense can do when you’re singled up, so the goal was trying to just continue to move him around in different spots.”



The Panthers will try to extend their good moment against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. McMillan will have another chance to shine, but the Niners’ defense won’t be an easy matchup.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> couldn’t move past the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11 of the 2025 <a href="http://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. They lost 21-19 against their division rivals, losing the No. 1 spot they shared with the Rams, while watching Sam Darnold struggle against a suffocating defense.&nbsp;



The former No. 2 overall pick went 29 of 44 for 279 yards and zero touchdowns. In contrast, he was intercepted four times while posting a 45.5 passer rating. The Seahawks were still close to winning the game, but they are aware that they need to do better.&nbsp;



Jaxon Smith-Njigba confirmed he is a top wide receiver in the league, leading the team with 105 yards on nine receptions.&nbsp;



<h2>Mike Macdonald sends clear message to Sam Darnold</h2>



After the game was over, Mike Macdonald reacted to Darnold’s performance. The second-year coach made it clear that the team can’t afford those types of performances, and they will go through everything that went wrong to avoid it in the future.&nbsp;

“We just can’t turn it over 4 times. Sam knows that,” he said. “The tricky part of that is you can’t say ‘turn the ball over.’ What kind of coaching is that? I think we need to go back and look at decision criteria’s. The input behind it and we will find solutions around.&nbsp; Take a dive into it and not the easy and lazy way out.”



The Seahawks will return to the field on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. It should be a good option for Seattle to get back to winning ways.&nbsp;

Kellen Moore shared his thoughts on the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> New Orleans Saints’ </a>upcoming matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. This is the fiercest rivalry in the NFC South, and nobody wants to lose this game.&nbsp;



Neither team is in a good position coming into this matchup. New Orleans has only won two games, while the Falcons have won one more, but their season could be done soon after starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffered a knee injury.&nbsp;



Kirk Cousins can still provide quality for the Falcons, but the season in general hasn’t been that positive for Raheem Morris‘ team. On the other end, the Saints will try to worsen their rivals’ situation and give them their sixth consecutive loss.&nbsp;



<h2>Kellen Moore shares excitement about first matchup against Falcons&nbsp;</h2>



Sunday’s game will be Moore’s first Saints-Falcons as New Orleans head coach. Talking with reporters on Monday, the coach shared his expectations for the game and the week ahead.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/22154520/kellenmoore-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-342122" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Kellen Moore head coach of the New Orleans Saints</figcaption></figure>



“This is my first experience, I’m excited about this opportunity,” Moore said. “We know the importance of your division games, with these guys. The rich history (of) this game, so it gonna be be a lot of fun, and I think as this week progresses, a lot of us are gonna get to experience it for the first time, which I’m excited for.”



Moore admitted that he was aware the Falcons and Saints had a heated rivalry, even before he signed with the team. These two teams are anything but contenders right now, but neither wants to lose this game.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals </a>were brought back to reality by the Seattle Seahawks (44-22 in Week 10) and the San Francisco 49ers (41-22) after beating the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 of the 2025<a href="http://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> season.&nbsp;



The Cards are dead last in the NFC West division standings, seeing the other three teams compete for the title. Despite a positive 2-0 start to the season, they have been unable to maintain the pace.&nbsp;



Head coach Jonathan Gannon has received a lot of criticism for the team’s performances, and some think he may be coaching for his job right now.&nbsp;



<h2>Jonathan Gannon shrugs off “hot seat” rumors&nbsp;</h2>



Ahead of their Week 12 duel against the Jacksonville Jaguars, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jonathan-gannon-turns-heads-with-major-admission-about-his-future-with-cardinals">Gannon opened up on the rumors, saying he can’t control</a> what the front office is thinking and he can only focus on his job. More importantly, he firmly stated that he counts on the players’ support.

“They want to be part of the solution as well,” he said. “They come up and tell me that, and that’s a good thing. I’d be lying to say it’s cheerful in there (the locker room) right now.”



The Cardinals could go through major changes in the offseason, starting with Kyler Murray leaving the team. Gannon could follow the quarterback if the team fails to make the playoffs again.&nbsp;
