The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans </a>continue to struggle in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. After winning only one game in eight weeks, they enter Week 9 with plenty of questions to answer.&nbsp;



Brian Callahan is no longer their head coach, and the team is still unable to find consistency. Coming off another humbling loss against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8, they will try to bounce back against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.&nbsp;



Meanwhile, they have been mentioned as potential buyers ahead of the upcoming trade deadline. They need experience and talent to try to get out of the bottom of the standings, but also options to compete in the future.&nbsp;



Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been mentioned as a potential trade target for the Titans, either now or in the offseason.&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst says Titans could trade for Tyreek Hill&nbsp;</h2>



ESPN writer Seth Walder detailed why Hill would make sense for the Titans. He believes that Hill’s salary could allow Tennessee to get draft capital from the Dolphins since Hill is out with a season-ending injury.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="620" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251031_BUS_518883_tyreek-hill-fins-1024x620_fb5905c9.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=620" alt="Tyreek Hill is a top receiver in the NFL" class="wp-image-423324" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption> Tyreek Hill #10 of the Miami Dolphins</figcaption></figure>



“This would be a pure cap-space-for-draft-pick deal, as Hill would not actually play a snap for Tennessee. The Titans would take on the pro-rated remainder of Hill’s $10 million 2025 salary and acquire some draft capital. Then, Tennessee could cut Hill in the offseason before his 2026 roster bonus is due. It makes sense because the Titans have more cap space next year than they will know what to do with ($113 million, per OverTheCap.com), and Miami could use the cap relief,” he wrote.



A lot has been said about Hill’s future with the Dolphins. Many are convinced that he played his last snap with the AFC East team, and the Titans could take advantage of the situation.&nbsp;

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to be an active team ahead of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> trade deadline. The AFC West team has suffered multiple injuries this season that have left the team in a complex position.&nbsp;



While they remain competitive, the Chargers could still make one or two moves to bolster their ranks and challenge for more than a playoff spot. After acquiring pass rusher Odafe Oweh a couple of weeks ago, they might be plotting their next move.&nbsp;



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Saints </a>have been mentioned as a potential trade partner for the Chargers, with Alvin Kamara taking all the spotlights when it comes to trade ideas.&nbsp;



Los Angeles lost Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris for the rest of the season, but second-year running back Kimani Vidal has taken over, putting the Kamara rumors to rest.&nbsp;



<h2>Chargers could target Saints’ offensive lineman</h2>



Jim Harbaugh’s team has been known for having strong offensive lines. They could add a Saints veteran to improve that position group for the rest of the season. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Los Angeles could trade for Cesar Ruiz.&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_20251031_BUS_518887_justin-herbert-1024x576_c52d1792.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Justin Herbert" class="wp-image-513481" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Herbert #10 of the Los Angeles Chargers.</figcaption></figure>



“The sense is the Saints will at least listen to offers on certain players. Teams I’ve spoken to are under the impression that guard Cesar Ruiz might be available at the right price,“ Fowler wrote.&nbsp;



Ruiz, a former 2020 first-round pick, has allowed just one sack and two quarterback hits in 2025. The Saints aren’t a competitive team at the moment and many think they should blow it up and start a rebuild. This could be the beginning of that.

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Indianapolis Colts</a> (7-1) are, by the numbers, the best team in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>after eight weeks. The AFC South team has become one of the biggest surprises of the season by revitalizing Daniel Jones’ career and helping Jonathan Taylor become the best running back in the league.&nbsp;



Not many imagined that the Colts would be this good after eight weeks, but they are looking like potential candidates led by the former New York Giants quarterback. Jones has gone 173 of 243 for 2,062 yards and 13 touchdowns against three interceptions and nine sacks.&nbsp;



Jones has connected with WR1 Michael Pittman Jr., who has posted 43 receptions for 445 yards and six touchdowns.&nbsp;



<h2>Michael Pittman identifies three AFC threats&nbsp;</h2>



Pittman is well aware that his team is playing at a high level, but he also knows the competition will be hard in the AFC if the Colts want to play the Super Bowl. Pittman named three big threats for his team in the AFC playoff picture.&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_20251031_BUS_518885_Jonathan-Taylor-running-back-of-the-Indianapolis-Colts-1024x576_5ce83450.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jonathan Taylor, running back of the Indianapolis Colts" class="wp-image-253823" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jonathan Taylor, running back of the Indianapolis Colts</figcaption></figure>



“I mean you can never rule out the Chiefs man, I feel like the Patriots are playing on another level. I feel like Drake Maye is really coming into his own and he’s playing some great ball. The Broncos too, their defense is solid. But we’ve got a couple AFC South games that we don’t want to look past because the Jaguars always play us tough. The Texans always play us tough. So we’re not going to really look at their record. Those are probably the AFC teams that probably I’m looking at the most, those are the powerhouses,” he said.



The Colts are playing an entertaining brand of football, but those three teams Pittman mentioned have also made strides this season. The Chiefs are always the favorite, while the Patriots and Broncos, led by second-year quarterbacks, are making a lot of noise.&nbsp;

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Arizona Cardinals</a> have lost five consecutive games after a promising 2-0 start to the 2025 NFL season. Their inability to close out duels has cost them multiple games, and the franchise is seemingly planning to make moves.&nbsp;



The season has been full of ups and downs, including two big wins to start the campaign, but also a sideline outburst from head coach Jonathan Gannon after running back Emari DeMercado fumbled the ball when he was about to score a 72-yard touchdown, and all the one-score losses they have suffered.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kyler Murray has failed to show consistency, and injuries have bothered him in recent weeks, which opened the door for Jacoby Brissett to lead the offense, although he hasn’t won a single game.&nbsp;



Arizona is dead last in the NFC West standings, and nothing suggests they will turn the season around in the second half. Meanwhile, they continue to work on potential moves.&nbsp;



<h2>Cardinals reportedly interested in 3 free agent quarterbacks&nbsp;</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> insider Mike Garafolo reported on Wednesday that the Cardinals worked out Kyle Trask, Logan Woodside, and Jeff Driskel.&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_20251031_BUS_518884_Kyler-Murray-2-1-1024x576_de3e3ddf.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Kyler Murray #1 of the Arizona Cardinals" class="wp-image-373513" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kyler Murray #1 of the Arizona Cardinals </figcaption></figure>



Bo Brack of PHNX added that with Murray returning to the field, the team could cut Kedon Slovis from the active roster and bring one of the three quarterbacks mentioned to the practice squad.&nbsp;



The Cardinals will play on Monday against the Dallas Cowboys, eager to return to winning ways against another team hungry to get wins. Murray was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, which could mean he’s on track to return on Monday.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints">New Orleans Saints </a>are one of the worst teams in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> in 2025. With a 1-7 record, they are in the race for the No. 1 overall pick in 2026 rather than the Super Bowl, but the team still wants to compete and show a different face for fans.&nbsp;



Spencer Rattler won the three-man quarterback battle in the offseason, beating rookie Tyler Shough and Jake Haener. The former South Carolina player posted 1,586 yards and eight touchdowns against five interceptions for the Saints, but his numbers didn’t translate into wins.



The team will start Shough in Week 9, ending Rattler’s second run as the team’s starter. Shough is ready to take on the challenge, but he also warned fans that this is a learning process.&nbsp;



“I’m going to make mistakes,” he told the Associated Press. “So, I’m going to do everything I can to learn from those mistakes, and then just have fun doing it.”&nbsp;



<h2>Kellen Moore is excited about his new quarterback</h2>



Kellen Moore says Tyler Shough will remain the Saints’ starter until the end of the season.&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_20251031_BUS_518886_tyler-shough-1-1024x576_897c1af7.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Shough in preseason" class="wp-image-479041" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints</figcaption></figure>



NFL insider Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that Shough will start for the Saints for the rest of the season. The rookie’s traits match Moore’s rhythm-based offense, which could benefit the team.&nbsp;



Shough has taken the field twice this season, going 17 of 32 for 128 yards and zero touchdowns against one interception and two sacks. New Orleans will clash against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9, in a duel that will challenge Shough.&nbsp;

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> star quarterback Kyler Murray could be on the move this offseason if the team fails to advance to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> playoffs again. Murray, a former No. 1 overall pick, has failed to bring success to his team during his seven-year tenure at State Farm Stadium.&nbsp;



Murray has played under multiple head coaches, which has affected his development. He is still trying to win with the Cardinals, but the 2025 season is off to a rough start for the NFC West team (2-5).&nbsp;



Many wonder if this will be the last season Murray spends in Arizona, and one NFL reporter thinks the quarterback is an attractive piece for opposing teams.&nbsp;



<h2>NFL reporter says Kyler Murray could leave Cardinals in the offseason&nbsp;</h2>



Andrew Siciliano floated the idea of Murray leaving the Cardinals after 2025, noting that the team could hit reset and part ways with Jonathan Gannon, which could mean that Murray would be gone too.



<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_20251030_BUS_518188_Kyler-Murray-quarterback-for-the-Arizona-Cardinals-1024x576_3fee631f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals." class="wp-image-472696" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



“Is this the end for Kyler Murray?” Siciliano asked. “Kyler has, after this year, one more year of guaranteed money on his contract. So, maybe the can move on this offseason, maybe they can; maybe if you bring in a new coach and you hit reset, that includes moving on from the quarterback, as well. … I do think he’d be an attractive piece, I do think in this era of give a quarterback a second chance and see what he does somewhere else with a different coach and a different perspective, I think Kyler Murray would be a guy other teams would want.”



Murray entered the league surrounded by doubts, especially regarding his height and whether that could hurt his chances to shine in the league. After seven years, the player hasn’t met the expectations, and a change of air may be in the cards.&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 in the 2025<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl"> NFL</a> season. The addition of Sam Darnold has proven to be a terrific move for the Hawks, who are on track to return to the playoffs in a difficult NFC West division.&nbsp;



Darnold has gone 131 of 192 for 1,754 yards and 12 touchdowns against four interceptions. After a solid season with the Minnesota Vikings, the veteran continues to play at a high level and leads the Seahawks to a 5-2 record and the first position in the division.&nbsp;



The offensive line has played a role in the team’s offensive revamp. Darnold has been excellent on good O-Line play, and Seattle could add more talent to protect the former No. 2 overall pick.&nbsp;



<h2>Former Giants player linked with move to Seahawks&nbsp;</h2>



Connor Orr of Sports Illustrated writes that Evan Neal would be a great pickup for the Seahawks amid a tumultuous season for the New York Giants.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="559" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251030_BUS_518191_mike-macdonald_2-1024x559_49aa643d.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=559" alt="mike-macdonald" class="wp-image-299074" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald </figcaption></figure>



“Neal, the No. 7 pick in 2022, has some outstanding traits for an offensive lineman, but for one reason or another, struggled to put together a consistent campaign for the Giants. This move provides depth for the Teller signing and a possible flier for the Seahawks, who may want to utilize Neal not only for his guard depth but for additional bigger personnel sets,” he wrote.



The Seahawks’ offensive line has played at a decent level, with players such as Abe Lucas, Charles Cross, and Grey Zabel. Adding Neal would elevate their game, more so thinking of a playoff run.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a> aren’t having the best 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. They have become one of the most inconsistent teams in the competition, beating Super Bowl contenders such as the Buffalo Bills (24-14) one week, only to lose against the one-win Miami Dolphins.&nbsp;



Atlanta will take on the inspired New England Patriots in Week 9. They are 1-1 against the AFC East and a win over Drake Maye and company would give them the edge over the division.&nbsp;



Michael Penix Jr. couldn’t play against the Dolphins, which helped Tua Tagovailoa and his team dominate against the Falcons. Penix missed the game due to a bone bruise in his left knee, but the situation is different ahead of the Patriots duel.&nbsp;



<h2>Raheem Morris is optimistic on his QB</h2>



Kirk Cousins went 21 of 31 for 173 yards against the Dolphins. The Falcons scored a single touchdown and lost 34-10 against Tagovailoa. Raheem Morris told reporters on Wednesday that Penix was in the building and the team is optimistic about his chances to play against the Patriots.&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_20251030_BUS_518190_michael-penix-jr-1024x576_7de59a3f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Michael Penix Jr Atlanta Falcons" class="wp-image-406407" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Michael Penix Jr. #9 of the Atlanta Falcons </figcaption></figure>



“Michael is in the building, obviously in meetings. … We’ll get a chance to get a feel for what he can do in practice, if he can do anything,” Morris said. “He feels better than he did last week. … So, I feel really good about him.”



Penix was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice session. In six games, he has gone 119 of 195 for five touchdowns against three interceptions. The Falcons are a question mark this season, and they need to start winning games before their playoff dreams vanish.&nbsp;

The Buffalo Bills returned to winning ways on Sunday with a commanding 40-9 win over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a>. Josh Allen and Co. had no mercy on the Panthers, who missed Bryce Young for the game.&nbsp;



James Cook put up a show with 210 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. Khalil Shakir led the passing game with 88 yards on six receptions and one touchdown for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Bills</a>.



Second-year wide receiver Keon Coleman again struggled to get things going, recording only 30 yards on three receptions. Coleman carried high expectations coming into the season, but he’s failed to meet them, which has granted him plenty of criticism.&nbsp;



<h2>Steve Smith Sr. calls out Keon Coleman amid complex season</h2>



Former Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith didn’t mince words when assessing Keon Coleman’s 2025 season. During a recent episode of “89,” a podcast hosted by the former wideout and reporter James Palmer, Smith was very critical of Coleman.&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_20251030_BUS_518189_keon-coleman-bills-1024x576_59f16346.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Keon Coleman will look to deliver on his second year in the NFL" class="wp-image-418847" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Keon Coleman #0 of the Buffalo Bills </figcaption></figure>



“He just doesn’t get open fast enough,” Smith said. “Josh Allen looks his way. There’s a few times when it’s press coverage when Josh looks over there. But Josh gets off of him very fast. And some people say, ‘Well, he was open on this play, but Josh got off of him.’ Yes. That means he’s taking too long.”



After a strong 112-yard performance against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, Coleman’s level wasn’t the same. He has averaged 20.8 yards per game, which isn’t ideal for a player with his potential. The Bills have struggled to find a reliable wide receiver after trading Stefon Diggs, and Coleman isn’t the answer.&nbsp;

The<a href="http://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Indianapolis Colts</a> have become the biggest surprise of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, as they went from an 8-9 record in 2024 to a 7-1 record in eight weeks this campaign.&nbsp;



The addition of Daniel Jones brought a new spark to the team’s offense, and the former New York Giants starter beat Anthony Richardson to become the Colts’ starting QB.&nbsp;



So far, the call has paid off for the Colts. They lead the AFC South and the conference altogether, signing their name on the list of Super Bowl contenders.&nbsp; Indianapolis has seen many people shine this campaign, and one has been added to the MVP conversation amid a potentially historical season.&nbsp;



<h2>Jonathan Taylor earns MVP honors amid big season&nbsp;</h2>



Yahoo Sports analyst Frank Schwab went with Colts running back Jonathan Taylor as his mid-season MVP. When asked about his pick, Schwab mentioned Patrick Mahomes, who has gone from worst to best with the Kansas City Chiefs, but ultimately went with Taylor.&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_20251030_BUS_518192_indianapolis-colts-1024x576_541f6011.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Indianapolis Colts" class="wp-image-517327" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jonathan Taylor #28 of the Indianapolis Colts.</figcaption></figure>



“Jonathan Taylor has meant more with the team with the best record in football than anybody else has meant to their teams,” Schwab said. “Jonathan Taylor is on pace for an unbelievable season, one of the greatest running back seasons we’ve ever seen. It’s him, not Daniel Jones carrying that team. Unfortunately, Daniel Jones has better odds to win MVP than Jonathan Taylor, which tells you we’ve kinda lost our way with MVP.”



Taylor leads the NFL in carries (143), yards rushing (850) and touchdowns (12) after eight weeks of action. The running back has elevated his game and confirmed that he belongs to the elite of his position.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Tennessee Titans</a> rookie quarterback Cam Ward was upset after interim head coach Mike McCoy decided to punt on a crucial fourth-and-3 from the Indianapolis’ 42-yard line during their Week 8 divisional matchup.&nbsp;



The decision was counterproductive after the ball only traveled 22 yards. The Colts put the ball in Jonathan Taylor’s hands, who broke free for an 80-yard touchdown that gave the Colts a 24-7 lead over the Titans.&nbsp;



Cameras spotted Ward unhappy with the decision, apparently mouthing bad words on the sideline.&nbsp;



<h2>Cam Ward apologizes for sideline outburst&nbsp;</h2>



Ward cleared up his reaction, explaining that he just wanted to win and see if they could get the first-and-10, not challenge his 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_20251028_BUS_517188_Cam-Ward-rookie-QB-for-the-Tennessee-Titans-1024x576_ff366a1e.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Cam Ward, rookie QB for the Tennessee Titans" class="wp-image-509215" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward, rookie QB for the Tennessee Titans</figcaption></figure>



“I think I’m a competitor,” he said. “Our whole offense is like that. Our whole defense is like that. … I just think the biggest thing is we want to be an aggressive team. Especially with the record we have right now, we have to be an aggressive team at the end of the season to get where we want to be. I just think it’s a missed opportunity for us as a team to get a first down and keep the drive moving,” he said. “We weren’t down that much at that time. So, we’re going to always support whatever decision is made, but at the end of the day, we shouldn’t put ourselves in that position. We should get the first down on third down.”



The Titans dropped to 1-7 and still look like one of the worst teams in the league. Their next challenge will be against the Los Angeles Chargers, who come off dominating the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8.

Second-year quarterback Drake Maye is having a remarkable 2025<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NFL</a> season, taking the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> to a 6-2 record, the first position in the AFC East standings and the No. 2 seed in the AFC, only behind the Indianapolis Colts (7-1).&nbsp;



While the defense has limited five opponents to just 14 points, one to 19 and one to 20, the offense has looked unstoppable. Maye put up a show against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, going 18 of 24 for 282 yards and three interceptions.&nbsp;



Despite being sacked six times (five by Myles Garrett), Maye racked up 50 yards on seven carries to lead the Patriots to a 32-13 win over one of the worst teams in the league.



<h2>Kayshon Boutte backs Drake Maye as 2025 NFL MVP&nbsp;</h2>



Maye was serenaded with “MVP” chants during his latest outing. Fans aren’t the only ones making the case for Maye. Wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, who has shone this season as a deep threat, believes that Maye is a candidate.&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_20251028_BUS_517078_drake-maye-5-1024x576_a46055c7.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots" class="wp-image-507127" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots.</figcaption></figure>



“You all see what I see,” Boutte said. “I think if you look around the league at the other guys too, they’re doing great stuff too. I think Drake’s doing everything they’re doing, there’s not anything that he’s not doing. At the end of the day, we’re just playing football, we’re having fun with it too, just supporting my guys.”



The Patriots are coming off a 4-13 season in 2024. They are playing an entertaining and effective brand of football, led by Maye. The former North Carolina quarterback continues to evolve, and the team is helping him elevate his performances.&nbsp;

The Bills pulled no punches and dominated the matchup, leaving Highmark Stadium with a 40-9 win.&nbsp;



Carolina will face another tough matchup in Week 9. The Green Bay Packers, fresh off beating the Pittsburgh Steelers, will host the Panthers at Lambeau Field.&nbsp;



Andy Dalton started against the Bills and it’s unclear if he’ll get the keys to the car again against the Packers. With Bryce Young out with an injury, perhaps starting Dalton wouldn’t be crazy for the Panthers.



<h2>NFL writer says Panthers should rest Bryce Young one more week&nbsp;</h2>



Zach Roberts of SI wrote on Tuesday that holding Young out one more week would be in the Panthers’ best interest, considering that he would face a tough defense and the Panthers could afford to drop this game.&nbsp;

“If the Panthers lose and drop to 4-5, the season isn’t over,” Roberts wrote. “And even if it is, this wasn’t really a season in which Carolina needed to contend. It’s a slow rebuild, and they didn’t need to make a massive leap, so if the juggernaut schedule the rest of the way gets them, so be it. With that in mind, one loss isn’t as detrimental. The Panthers, without Bryce Young, would almost certainly lose to the Green Bay Packers next Sunday. They may just want to take the loss and keep Young safe for another week to fully heal. High ankle sprains take two or more weeks usually.”



After a shaky start, Young found his rhythm in the league. The quarterback has shown off his talents and demonstrated that he can lead the team until the high ankle sprain hit him.&nbsp;

Panthers urged to make surprise decision on Bryce Young

The Atlanta Falcons are one of the most inconsistent teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> in the 2025 season. The NFC South team hit a new low in Week 8, as the Miami Dolphins beat them 34-10 as visitors.&nbsp;



After beating two potential contenders, the Washington Commanders (34-27) and the Buffalo Bills (24-14) in back-to-back games, the Falcons lost to the San Francisco 49ers (20-10) before Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins humbled them.



The challenge will be harder in Week 9, when they clash against the leader of the AFC East division, the New England Patriots (6-2). Atlanta entered this season looking like the biggest threat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they have failed to meet expectations.&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst flames Falcons over performance against Dolphins</h2>



The Week 8 performance raised a lot of eyebrows among the fanbase and analysts. Zachary Pereles of CBS Sports named the Falcons the second thing he disliked the most this past week, criticizing the offensive performance and going off on the defense.&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_20251028_BUS_517077_Bijan-Robinson-1024x576_767412f0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Bijan Robinson #7 of the Atlanta Falcons" class="wp-image-353061" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Bijan Robinson #7 of the Atlanta Falcons</figcaption></figure>



“There was so much hope, it seemed, for the Atlanta Falcons after a 24-14 win over the Bills in Week 6. Since then, they’ve lost to the 49ers and the Dolphins. This week was especially damning. Kirk Cousins, in for the injured Michael Penix Jr., managed a paltry 173 passing yards. Bijan Robinson fumbled the ball without being touched. But the defense was somehow the biggest letdown. 



“One week after a dismal 31-6 loss to the Browns, the Dolphins had their second-best passing success rate and third-best rushing success rate this season. Tua Tagovailoa was sacked just once. And this was a Falcons defense that has been very good all season!” he wrote.



Atlanta will try to bounce back against the Patriots, who don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Michael Penix Jr. could be back to bring a spark to the offense.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> didn’t have the best game on Sunday, as the Buffalo Bills swept them off the field despite a slow start. The Bills hit the gas in the second quarter, scoring 16 points to enter halftime 19-3 up.&nbsp;



With quarterback Bryce Young out, the Panthers couldn’t rely on their running game, either, as Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard combined for 88 yards on 20 carries. Hubbard scored his team’s only touchdown in the 40-9 loss.&nbsp;



The two-man committee failed to make an impact against the Bills, prompting people to wonder if the Panthers should give the keys to the car to one running back and make the other the RB2.&nbsp;



<h2>Dave Canales praises Rico Dowdle’s impact on Panthers’ offense</h2>



Dave Canales is reluctant to go with one or the other, explaining that Hubbard has given a lot to the team, but Dowdle has made strides in his first season with the NFC South franchise.&nbsp;

“Chuba has meant a lot to his organization, certainly to the identity that we wanted to build our team on, and we wanted to give Chuba the opportunity to go out and continue to impact our team in a positive way,” Canales said Monday, via ESPN. “We cannot ignore that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games, and then in the opportunities he’s had over the last two weeks. He’s made some excellent plays. Love the tempo and violence that he’s running with. And these are all things that we’re talking about and working through this week.”



The Panthers dropped to 4-4 after the Bills game. They will clash with another big opponent in Week 9, the Green Bay Packers, hoping to get back to winning ways against one of the best teams in the conference.&nbsp;
