The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans </a>remain a wandering team in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. Despite landing quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft, the AFC South team has been unable to get things going, winning only one game and putting up poor performances every week.&nbsp;



They made two moves ahead of the trade deadline, sending Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens and Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams. The Titans didn’t add much draft capital, only getting a conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth if Jones records two sacks and the Ravens advance to the playoffs.&nbsp;



One would imagine that a young team like Tennessee would look at draft picks as its main priority, but general manager Mike Borgonzi shot down that notion.&nbsp;



<h2>Mike Borgonzi calls out Titans’ ability to develop players</h2>



During Wednesday’s press conference to wrap up the trade deadline, Borgonzi addressed the return he got in exchange for two of his best defensive players. The three-time Super Bowl champion brought up Jarvis Brownlee, whom he traded to the New York Jets in Week 3 despite having a high ceiling, saying that Brownlee confirmed the Titans can’t develop players.

“The Jarvis Brownlee trade was controversial. I love Jarvis. You’re evaluating the fit,” he said (h/t team reporter Jim Wyatt). “We don’t have the culture here right now now to help players develop. Thought there were some habits that weren’t conducive to build and help Jarvis develop.”



Tennessee has gone through bad situations this season, including the firing of its head coach, Brian Callahan. Their issues wouldn’t be solved by adding a talented quarterback, and now they have to regroup and think about what needs to be done to turn the franchise around.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals </a>started the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season confident that quarterback Kyler Murray could take them back to the playoffs. After a promising 2-0 start, the Cards appeared to be ready to join the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers to start a four-team race to win the NFC West division.&nbsp;



Seven weeks later, the Cardinals only won one more game, struggling to close out duels and seeing opponents secure one-score wins in the final minutes.&nbsp;



As Murray recovers from an ankle injury, veteran Jacoby Brissett has taken over, bringing a spark to the Cardinals’ offense. Brissett will start in Week 10 against the Seahawks, meaning that Murray will stay on the bench for a fourth consecutive week.&nbsp;



<h2>Drew Brees says Cardinals should stick with Jacoby Brissett</h2>



During Tuesday’s edition of ESPN’s “First Take,” former star quarterback Drew Brees sided with Brissett after questioning what Murray has brought to the team since being drafted with the No. 1 overall pick in 2019.&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_20251106_BUS_522096_jacoby-brissett-1-1024x576_af8c1790.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jacoby Brissett" class="wp-image-521033" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



“Now you have that with Jacoby Brissett, a veteran, guy who has a ton of maturity. I mean, you just see him coming into his own. You see the way that the players respond to him, you just, you could feel it last night as you’re watching the game,” Brees said. “It’s hard to put numbers or metrics to that other than just you know what you’re watching. I don’t think you can take Jacoby Brissett off the field right now. They played their best football in the last couple of weeks. They’re trending up.”



In five games, Brissett has gone 73 of 112 for 860 yards and six touchdowns against one sack and 13 interceptions. The Cardinals have been competitive with Brissett under center, and Monday’s win against the Dallas Cowboys definitely helped the 32-year-old’s case.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a> are set to capitalize on their success in the first half of the 2025 NFL season. They landed All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets to bolster their secondary for the second half of the campaign.&nbsp;



At 7-2, Indianapolis boasts the best record in the league (tied with the New England Patriots), and they aren’t stopping there. Daniel Jones, Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman have shone this season, but the defense needed something to reach the next level.



They hope that Gardner can elevate their game, especially considering that the cornerback position is experiencing a shortage. However, not everybody is convinced the Colts made a good move.&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst says Colts gave up too much for Sauce Gardner&nbsp;</h2>



In the wake of the blockbuster trade between the Colts and Jets, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> analyst Pete Prisco disagreed with the move, saying that the Colts gave a lot for a player who hasn’t lived up to expectations.&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_20251106_BUS_522095_Sauce-Gardner-1-1-1024x576_139b49bc.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Sauce Gardner #1 of the New York Jets" class="wp-image-441591" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Sauce Gardner #1 of the New York Jets </figcaption></figure>



“A reach? This is robbery,” Prisco said. “Not only are you getting two first-round picks back, you’re giving up an enormous salary. So the Colts are giving away two first-round picks for corner who has a big salary and hasn’t quite played up to expectations. This is a desperation move by the Indianapolis Colts. Sauce Gardner at best is a really good player, but he’s not worth two number ones.”



Gardner is expected to make his debut against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Going against a player like Drake London could show Prisco and others where the cornerback stands among the best in his position.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> remain one of the biggest stories of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The NFC West franchise entered the campaign with a couple of questions to answer, and Mike Macdonald has done so in big fashion.&nbsp;



Sam Darnold is balling, confirming that his 2024 campaign with the Minnesota Vikings wasn’t a fluke. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has taken over and confirmed that he is the clear best wide receiver on the team.&nbsp;



They were already great, and still made a notable move ahead of the 2025 trade deadline. They acquired wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to join an overpowered room with Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, among others.&nbsp;



<h2>NFL analyst celebrates Seahawks over Rashid Shaheed move&nbsp;</h2>



In Wednesday’s edition of NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football,” Kyle Brandt showered the Seahawks’ front office with praise for securing a talented wide receiver when they didn’t need him.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251106_BUS_522094_GettyImages-2178274128-1024x683_9d248b89.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=683" alt="" class="wp-image-254849" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Rashid Shaheed #22 of the New Orleans Saint</figcaption></figure>



“I like what the Seattle Seahawks did. The NFC West darling said, ‘You know what we need? We need a little rocket fuel in our private. We’re gonna need Rashid Shaheed and we’re gonna bring him in here. … This guy is up there to hit jacks. This is a Ryan Howard or Jim Thome or one of these lumberjack types. Seattle does not need Rashid Shaheed. They don’t, they’re already good without him. They have a superstar in JSN. They didn’t need him and they still got him. That’s why I like it,” he said.



The Seahawks co-lead their division with the Los Angeles Rams. They are set to return to the playoffs, and their level of performance in the first half suggested that they could be a dark horse in the 2025 postseason. The Shaheed’s addition is one of those moves that could help them during tough times.&nbsp;

The <a href="http://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots </a>had a quiet trade deadline. They didn’t make any deals amid a strong 7-2 start to the season. While they are playing at a high level, the Patriots could have used help at running back or wide receiver.&nbsp;



They are set to face the second half of the season and confirm that their good moment isn’t a fluke. New England wasn’t the only team that didn’t make a trade, and insider Phil Perry explained that the team didn’t want to spend more than necessary, although they were willing to make moves.&nbsp;



“Here’s my understanding of the situation: The Patriots were willing to trade; they simply weren’t going to be so aggressive that they went beyond the prices they felt were reasonable,” Perry wrote.&nbsp;



Another factor may have been the other team’s reluctance to make deals with New England.&nbsp;



<h2>Mike Vrabel could be the reason why Titans won’t make deals with Patriots</h2>



According to Mike Giardi (via Savage Sports on X), the Tennessee Titans, who dealt Dre’Mont Jones to Baltimore, have no interest in negotiating with the Patriots, citing their past history with Mike Vrabel, the Pats’ current head coach.&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_20251106_BUS_522097_mike-vrabel-1024x576_ebc244e0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Mike Vrabel New England Patriots HC" class="wp-image-515256" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots.</figcaption></figure>



“I was also told there has been some conversation league-wide that Tennessee might be unwilling to make deals with New England because the owner, Amy Adams Strunk, continues to think too much about how things ended with Vrabel and is not inclined to help his new team. We’ll find out soon enough with the likes of edge Arden Key, RB Tony Pollard, and even WR Calvin Ridley available,” he said.



Perry, however, insists that the Titans have no animosity towards New England, and they discussed potential deals with the Patriots, but it couldn’t be done in the end.&nbsp;

After welcoming back star quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens can’t stop getting help for the second half of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. The AFC North franchise is on a positive trajectory following Jackson’s return to action after sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 4.&nbsp;



They kicked off Week 9 with a 28-6 win over the Miami Dolphins, with Jackson going off with 18 completions on 23 attempts for 204 yards and four touchdowns. At 3-5, the season is far from over for the Ravens, who can take advantage of the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills’ inconsistencies to take over the AFC.&nbsp;



The Ravens made a trade ahead of the 2025 trade deadline, picking up defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> in exchange for a conditional fifth-rounder, insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.&nbsp;



<h2>Ravens would send a better pick to Titans under two conditions</h2>



Dre’Mont Jones put up a solid performance against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. The linebacker recorded four tackles and 1.5 sacks against Justin Herbert. The Titans couldn’t move past the Chargers (27-20), but Jones left Nissan Stadium with a strong performance.&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_20251105_BUS_521265_john-harbaugh-during-a-game-vs-steelers-1024x576_695997ea.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="John Harbaugh looks on before the game vs the Steelers" class="wp-image-511169" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>John Harbaugh looks on before the game vs the Steelers on December 21, 2024 in Baltimore.</figcaption></figure>



Tom Pelissero reported that if Jones has two sacks for the rest of the season and the Ravens advance to the postseason, Baltimore will send a fourth-round pick to the Titans.&nbsp;



Jones, 28, has recorded at least one sack in the last four games, which is a good sign for his former and new team. Baltimore lost Nnamdi Madubuike with a neck injury a month ago, and Jones could bring that spark the defense needs.&nbsp;

Third-year quarterback Bryce Young and the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Carolina Panthers</a> escaped Lambeau Field with a hard-fought, close win against the Green Bay Packers (16-13) in Week 9 of the 2025<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> season.&nbsp;



Young continues to evolve, and while it wasn’t the prettiest win, he led his team to the fourth win of the season, bringing their record to 5-4 and keeping them in the race for the NFC South division.&nbsp;



Young faced a tough Packers defense, going 11 of 20 for 102 yards against one interception. The former Alabama quarterback still took his squad to the promised land against the then-No. 1 seed in the NFC.&nbsp;In doing so, Young joined an exclusive club of players undefeated since the start of October.&nbsp;



<h2>Bryce Young remains undefeated since the start of October&nbsp;</h2>



After finishing September with a 1-3 record, Young put the Panthers in a solid position to compete. The player went 4-0 in October, meaning he’s one of three quarterbacks without a single loss since the start of last month.&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_20251105_BUS_521266_Bryce-Young-looks-on-1024x576_f72aeab3.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Bryce Young looks on" class="wp-image-515607" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers enters the field.</figcaption></figure>



Young, alongside Drake Maye (5-0) and Bo Nix (5-0), is one of the only three quarterbacks undefeated since the start of October.&nbsp;



The Panthers started the month with a win over the Miami Dolphins (27-24). They followed up with another one-score win over the Dallas Cowboys (30-27), followed by a low-scoring battle against the New York Jets (13-6). Most recently, they beat the Packers.



In the middle of that, they clashed with the Buffalo Bills. Andy Dalton didn’t stand a chance against the AFC East squad, losing 40-9 in Week 8.&nbsp;

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Seattle Seahawks</a> continued their solid run in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season with a commanding 38-14 win over the Washington Commanders. Sam Darnold put on a show with 330 yards on 21 completions, tallying four touchdowns and a passer rating of 141.0.&nbsp;



The Commanders didn’t have an answer for Seattle. The Seahawks improved to 6-2, meaning they are still co-leaders of the NFC West division.&nbsp;



Mike Macdonald joined an exclusive club this time. Seattle has won 11 of its 12 road games with the former Ravens coach on the sideline. He joined Sean McVay and George Seifert as the third to post those numbers.&nbsp;



<h2>Mike Macdonald refuses to get too excited after big start with Seahawks&nbsp;</h2>



Macdonald, the former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator, refused to take all the credit for this success on Monday, reminding people that he’s just a piece of an entire system.



<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_20251105_BUS_521264_Mike-Macdonald-1-1024x576_74be7f6e.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Mike Macdonald in 2024" class="wp-image-352387" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head Coach Mike Macdonald of the Seattle Seahawks</figcaption></figure>



“It’s a cool stat,” Macdonald said, via the team’s website. “I’m worried about where we’re going to go from here. It’s cool that we’ve done it, but as a head coach, you probably get too much credit, too much blame. This is a team operation when we go on the road. When we got here, it was, ‘Okay, how is it?’ Because the team had success on the road before I was here. So, I was curious, ‘Hey, what are the things that we were doing prior?’ A lot of that stuff we’ve kept, that we felt were aligned with how we wanted to operate. 



“I had experience from one place of how we did it in Baltimore. So, that was probably the blueprint of everything we did initially. Then you start, okay, well, what’s best for the Seahawks? Going east is way different than going west, you’re learning that. We’ve got a lot of firepower behind the scenes making these things happen as well, and those people deserve a lot of credit.”



Seattle is one of the most intriguing teams in the NFC. They have played at a high level and are looking like potential contenders in a conference that doesn’t have a clear favorite.&nbsp;

After a tumultuous 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season under Jerod Mayo, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots </a>look like a completely different team under Mike Vrabel.&nbsp;



In only their second year post-Bill Belichick, the Patriots are playing like potential contenders, posting a 7-2 record, leading the AFC East division, and fighting to secure the No. 1 seed in the conference.&nbsp;



Vrabel has helped the team elevate its game, starting with second-year quarterback Drake Maye, who is earning MVP buzz this season. Maye went 19 of 29 for 259 yards and two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, helping the Patriots win their sixth consecutive game.&nbsp;



<h2>Mack Hollins shares his favorite message from Mike Vrabel</h2>



During a conversation with Jamie Erdahl on Good Morning Football, Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins was asked about his favorite message from his head coach. Hollins responded by saying he exhorts players to live by the culture everywhere they go.&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_20251105_BUS_521263_mike-vrabel-1024x576_c5ff1ec6.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Mike Vrabel New England Patriots HC" class="wp-image-515256" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots.</figcaption></figure>



“I think it would be our identity doesn’t rest, doesn’t take days off, doesn’t take moments off,” Hollins said. “Not only when you’re in the building, it’s everywhere you go, you gotta live that identity. I take that with me, and I think the rest of the guys have. It shows on Sundays, but that’s definitely the message.”



Vrabel has made a strong impact on the Patriots. They are one of the best teams in the league after nine weeks, and their potential is still unknown. Hollins, Maye, Stefon Diggs and others have helped the coach turn the team around in no time.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons</a> head coach Raheem Morris had a different approach to the controversial “snapgate” he sparked after the New England Patriots beat the Falcons in Week 9 of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season.&nbsp;



Moments before the two-minute warning, Michael Penix Jr. grounded the ball after his center heard a clap (Penix’s sign to get the snap) and passed him the ball. Atlanta ended up punting the ball and the Patriots secured a 24-23 win.&nbsp;



Morris was upset after the game, accusing the Patriots of manufacturing a snap.&nbsp;



“They heard something,” Morris said. “Obviously (Neuzil) did, that’s why he snapped it. There was no intent to say (the Patriots) did anything wrong. It was our fault. It was on us. We can’t snap the ball early, no matter what anyone does. That was just me being angry yesterday when somebody asked me what happened.”



<h2>Raheem Morris backtracks from comments on “snapgate”</h2>



A day after causing a stir with his comments, Morris shrugged off the situation, saying he doesn’t want to make something out of nothing.



<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_20251105_BUS_521262_raheem-morris-1024x576_39fc8018.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Raheem Morris" class="wp-image-420426" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Raheem Morrisof the Falcons</figcaption></figure>



“I don’t want to make it a ‘Snapgate,’ which I probably already did,” Morris said.&nbsp;



The Falcons dropped to 3-5 with this result, while the Patriots extended their winning streak to six games. Atlanta has been one of the most inconsistent teams in the league this season, and the Patriots worsened their situation, giving them their third consecutive loss.&nbsp;



They will travel to Berlin to face off against the Indianapolis Colts, one of the best squads in the league, on Sunday.&nbsp;

Stefon Diggs showed support for second-year quarterback Drake Maye after Maye took the blame for a late turnover that could have cost the team the game. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England </a>secured a 24-23 win late in the fourth quarter, but Maye wasn’t ecstatic after turning the ball over.



Diggs, who joined the team to help Maye elevate his game with a three-year, $69 million deal, didn’t mince words to defend his quarterback. Late in the first half, Maye fumbled the ball after being hit by Jalon Walker. The Falcons recovered the ball and took it all the way to the end zone.&nbsp;



“I’ve got in a bad habit of trying to break tackles on guys I don’t have a great chance of breaking a tackle on,” Maye said after the game.&nbsp;



Maye still had a terrific game, going 19 of 29 for 259 yards and two touchdowns against a difficult defense.&nbsp;



<h2>Stefon Diggs defends Drake Maye after Falcons mistake&nbsp;</h2>



Patriots reporter Andrew Callahan shared what Diggs said about Maye on Sunday. The veteran wide receiver showed total support for the young playmaker.&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_20251104_BUS_520591_stefon-diggs-1-1024x576_6757a18f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Patriots WR Stefon Diggs" class="wp-image-507132" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Stefon Diggs #8 of the New England Patriots.</figcaption></figure>



“I’m riding with Drake Maye,” Diggs said. “Things aren’t going to be perfect. I tell y’all all the time, it’s hard as s–t to play quarterback.”



Maye is playing at such a high level that he is getting MVP buzz after nine weeks. He still has room for improvement, and being a part of his organization should help him evolve. New England will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next, hoping to improve to 8-2 against one of the best teams in the NFC.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots’</a> Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons wasn’t exempt from controversy. The Pats held off a fourth-quarter comeback attempt from the Falcons on Sunday, stopping them at nine points to secure the 24-23 win.&nbsp;



During a second-and-10 at the Patriots’ 48-yard line ahead of the two-minute warning, Falcons’ center Ryan Neuzil heard claps, which is an indication to snap the ball to Michael Penix Jr. Neuzil did it, but Penix didn’t signal anything. The second-year quarterback grounded the ball and got penalized with 10 yards. A play later, the Falcons punted the ball, which marked the fate of the game.



Coach Raheem Morris accused the Patriots of “fabricating” that snap, noting that they clapped to confuse Neuzil.&nbsp;



“They did a nice job,” he said. “They simulated a snap. The ball came early, was snapped early. … that was when we got the intentional grounding. Nice job by those guys. Great situational football. Great play. … That’s why the ball was snapped early on Mike. He wasn’t ready for the snap.”



<h2>Mike Vrabel responds to Raheem Morris’ claims&nbsp;</h2>



While Morris made the case against the Patriots, Mike Vrabel responded. He wasn’t as serious as Atlanta’s coach and shrugged off the claims by saying it might have been the fans who confused the Falcons’ center.&nbsp;

“I didn’t see anything. Like, is that fake? I don’t know… Clapgate… That was new. I didn’t see that… Maybe that’s a testament to our fans… They got loud,” he said.



Everything is done now, as the Patriots improved to 7-2, bringing their winning streak to six games. The Falcons are in the middle of a three-game skid and the picture doesn’t look that promising.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> improved to 6-2 on Sunday night after dominating the Washington Commanders (38-14) at Northwest Stadium. Once again, quarterback Sam Darnold put up a show for Seattle, going 21 of 24 for 330 yards, four touchdowns, and a passer rating of 141.0 against one interception.



The Seahawks continue to co-lead the NFC West with the Los Angeles Rams, while Darnold confirms that he is one of the best players in the league this season.



The former No. 2 overall pick has drawn MVP consideration in recent weeks, and these performances put him closer to the coveted award.&nbsp;Many fans are sold on Darnold, who had the best season of his career in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings. However, others insist that he needs to keep working to earn the love some are already giving him.



<h2>LeSean McCoy says Sam Darnold needs to keep working</h2>



Darnold went 16 of 16 in the first half of the game, racking up 282 yards and four touchdowns. He became the first quarterback since Tom Brady in 2007 to complete all of his passes in a half with a touchdown pass in each of his team’s first possessions.&nbsp;

LeSean McCoy, who celebrated a Super Bowl win with Brady on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, insisted that it’s too early to give Darnold too much love.



“It’s that quarterback (Darnold) for me,” McCoy said on the “Speakeasy” episode on Sunday. “Last year, I kept saying, ‘Yo, we’re in the world where we guys are praising Sam Darnold this, that and the third.’ I said, ‘Dude, the problem with America nowadays is that everyone wants success right now.’ Like, to get to the NFL, you know how hard it is … you have to earn that. We want to give Sam Darnold all this love so early. Let him earn it. ‘Cause last year, he played well, and it got to the end of the season, and you know what happened? The old him showed up.”



The Seahawks continue to play at a high level, and Darnold beats more rivals every week. He already proved that last season wasn’t a fluke, but not everybody is convinced.

Calvin Ridley has been mentioned as one of the potential trade chips the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> could use ahead of the 2025 NFL deadline. The Titans (1-8) are one of the worst teams in the league this season, which has prompted some to think they will be sellers.&nbsp;



Ridley could bring help to a contender or a team hoping to add depth to the wide receiver room. He has spent seven years in the league between the Atlanta Falcons (2018-2021), Jacksonville Jaguars (2023) and the Titans (2024), posting decent numbers to help his teams.



Tennessee has gone through multiple changes this campaign, starting with Brian Callahan’s firing. The Titans can’t put things together, and fans are calling for the front office to blow it up and trade away several pieces.&nbsp;



<h2>Titans won’t move Calvin Ridley at trade deadline</h2>



Ridley could have been a solid pickup for several opponents, but the Titans aren’t planning to move the 30-year-old wide receiver, ESPN‘s Turron Davenport reported on Sunday.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="631" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251103_BUS_520585_ridley_1jpg_242310155-1024x631_7b4eff32.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=631" alt="" class="wp-image-185869" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley during the game against Miami Dolphins</figcaption></figure>



“The (Titans) are not shopping Calvin Ridley as some reports are saying,” Davenport tweeted. “Confirmed with multiple team sources that is not the case. They have, however, received calls about Ridley and other players.”



Ridley has been targeted 35 times in six games, catching 16 passes for 290 yards. Tennessee is years away from contention, but they aren’t parting ways with their aging stars. Cam Ward landed in a complex situation that hasn’t gone precisely well.&nbsp; The rookie quarterback is still learning, but his current roster hasn’t helped him after nine weeks.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons</a> dropped another game to an AFC East team on Sunday. The New England Patriots escaped with a 24-23 win at Gillette Stadium to improve to 7-2, while the Falcons are two games below the .500 mark (3-5), and in a complex position moving forward.&nbsp;



Michael Penix Jr. went 22 of 37 for 221 yards and three touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to beat one of the top teams in the AFC. Drake Maye responded with 19 completions on 29 attempts for 259 yards and two touchdowns.



Drake London posted an impressive game, catching nine passes on 14 targets for 118 yards and three touchdowns, which marked the second multi-touchdown outing of his career.&nbsp;



<h2>Drake London disappointed after Falcons loss to Patriots&nbsp;</h2>



Despite playing a game for the ages, London wasn’t happy with the result. The veteran wide receiver described the loss in one word: “terrible.”



<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_20251103_BUS_520583_raheem-morris-1024x576_7114d7d8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Raheem Morris" class="wp-image-420426" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Raheem Morrisof the Falcons</figcaption></figure>



“Terrible. I do not feel good,” London said after the game. “We just lost the game. It’s a loss, so it’s going to hurt regardless,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if I had one catch or no catches or anything. It’s a loss, so I don’t care about any personal stats or any bulls*** like that.”&nbsp;



The Falcons have been one of the most inconsistent teams this season. One week, they can shut down Josh Allen, and the next, they struggle to play defense. They still have work to do, but at this point in the season, the situation doesn’t seem to be favorable.
