&lt;p&gt;Ahead of the final home game of the 2025 &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; season, &lt;strong&gt;Andy Reid&lt;/strong&gt; sent &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce&quot;&gt;Travis Kelce&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; a sincere message. The &lt;strong&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/strong&gt; take on the Denver Broncos in Week 17, in which could turn out to be the veteran tight end’s final game at Arrowhead.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The rumors have grown loud in Kansas City. With the Chiefs (6-9) already eliminated from playoff contention in the NFL, many believe the dynasty has reached its end. In addition, &lt;strong&gt;it could be the end of the road for Kelce’s career&lt;/strong&gt; as well. On that note, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid&quot;&gt;Reid&lt;/a&gt; admitted he doesn’t know whether Kelce will retire or not.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“His numbers and personality and the person speak for themselves. Phenomenal person. &lt;strong&gt;He’s everything you want from a player&lt;/strong&gt; representing an organization,”&lt;/em&gt; Reid commented, via &lt;em&gt;A to Z Sports&lt;/em&gt;’ Charles Goldman.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Kelce’s numbers at Arrowhead&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If Kelce does retire after the 2025 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; season, it may truly mark the end of an era for Kansas City. In the span of just a few days, they could learn that Kelce is stepping away—and that &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/when-are-the-chiefs-leaving-arrowhead-clark-hunt-confirms-final-decision&quot;&gt;the Chiefs, too, are leaving Arrowhead Stadium&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550617_andy-reid-vs-texans_b9c6e448.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Andy Reid during a Chiefs game against the Texans.&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-549360&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Andy Reid during a Chiefs game against the Texans.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Thus, now may be as good a time as any to revisit Kelce’s stats when playing at home at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. When the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Chiefs&lt;/a&gt; host the Broncos in Week 17, the star tight end could reach the 6,500-yard mark in home games at Arrowhead. &lt;strong&gt;He currently sits at 6,463 yards&lt;/strong&gt;, needing just 37 more to hit the milestone. &lt;strong&gt;Kelce has also scored 34 touchdowns&lt;/strong&gt; at Arrowhead so far in his career.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/andy-reid-admits-hes-ready-to-part-ways-with-chiefs-coach-in-2026&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Kelce has fallen short of that figure three times this season, &lt;strong&gt;including disheartening six- and eight-yard outings&lt;/strong&gt; during losses to the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans. Although &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chris-oladokun-warns-bo-nix-and-broncos-ahead-of-first-nfl-start-with-chiefs-on-christmas&quot;&gt;Chris Oladokun warned Bo Nix and the Broncos&lt;/a&gt;, the presence of an inexperienced quarterback under center does little to help Kelce’s chances of bouncing back in what could be the final home game of his career.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A few weeks ago, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Cleveland Browns&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; announced that &lt;strong&gt;Deshaun Watson&lt;/strong&gt; had &lt;strong&gt;returned to practice&lt;/strong&gt;, sparking speculation about a &lt;strong&gt;potential quarterback change&lt;/strong&gt;. Now, the franchise has made its &lt;strong&gt;decision on whether Watson or rookie &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Shedeur Sanders&lt;/a&gt; will lead the offense&lt;/strong&gt; for the remainder of the &lt;strong&gt;2025 NFL season&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After suffering two torn Achilles injuries, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deshaun-watson&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Deshaun Watson&lt;/a&gt; returned to the practice field earlier this month, &lt;strong&gt;reigniting rumors&lt;/strong&gt; that the &lt;strong&gt;veteran quarterback could reclaim his starting role&lt;/strong&gt;. However, Cleveland has made it clear that there are &lt;strong&gt;no plans to put Watson back under center this season&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, &lt;strong&gt;head coach &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-stefanski&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Kevin Stefanski&lt;/a&gt; confirmed on Tuesday that Watson will not be activated&lt;/strong&gt; and will miss the rest of the 2025 campaign. As a result, &lt;strong&gt;Shedeur Sanders will remain the Browns’ starting quarterback&lt;/strong&gt; for the final two games of the season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Shedeur Sanders knows the QB1 job isn’t secured for 2026&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The 2025 season has been an &lt;strong&gt;unusual one for Cleveland’s quarterback room&lt;/strong&gt;. The Browns &lt;strong&gt;began&lt;/strong&gt; the year with veteran &lt;strong&gt;Joe Flacco&lt;/strong&gt;, then &lt;strong&gt;turned to rookie Dillon Gabriel&lt;/strong&gt;, and eventually &lt;strong&gt;handed the offense to Shedeur Sanders&lt;/strong&gt;, who is now set to start the final two games.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While &lt;strong&gt;Sanders&lt;/strong&gt; has shown &lt;strong&gt;flashes of promise&lt;/strong&gt;, his rookie season has included the expected ups and downs. Still, the former Colorado Buffaloes standout has &lt;strong&gt;displayed poise and competitiveness&lt;/strong&gt;, giving the Browns reason to believe he could be a &lt;strong&gt;legitimate contender for the starting job&lt;/strong&gt; in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Speaking with the media, &lt;strong&gt;Sanders was asked how much he believes he can improve&lt;/strong&gt; heading into &lt;strong&gt;next season&lt;/strong&gt;. The rookie quarterback emphasized that his focus &lt;strong&gt;remains on finishing the 2025 season strong&lt;/strong&gt; before shifting his attention to offseason preparation.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/quinshon-judkins-injury-update-kevin-stefanski-confirms-bad-news-for-shedeur-sanders-browns&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“No, I live in the present. I live in the present,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Sanders said on Tuesday.&lt;em&gt; “I’m &lt;strong&gt;focused on this week and this game&lt;/strong&gt; — and nothing’s promised. Nothing’s promised going into next year or anything, so I stay in the moment, &lt;strong&gt;stay focused on what I have to do now to even be able to be here next year&lt;/strong&gt;, you know? I just enjoy life.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Will Deshaun Watson be the Browns’ QB1 in 2026?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The upcoming offseason could be a defining one for head coach Kevin Stefanski, who is expected to return in 2026. The &lt;strong&gt;decision surrounding Cleveland’s starting quarterback&lt;/strong&gt; may ultimately &lt;strong&gt;shape the franchise’s direction&lt;/strong&gt; moving forward.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550605_Deshaun-Watson-quarterback-for-the-Cleveland-Browns_bf5cf6c6.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Deshaun Watson, quarterback for the Cleveland Browns&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-345313&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Deshaun Watson, quarterback for the Cleveland Browns&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to league rumors, the &lt;strong&gt;Browns plan to evaluate Watson, Gabriel, and Sanders closely&lt;/strong&gt; throughout the offseason before naming a starter. However, &lt;strong&gt;Sanders appears to have the momentum&lt;/strong&gt;, especially if he can close out the 2025 season with strong performances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are set to face the &lt;strong&gt;Cleveland Browns&lt;/strong&gt; in a crucial Week 17 matchup. However, head coach &lt;strong&gt;Mike Tomlin&lt;/strong&gt; has &lt;strong&gt;hinted&lt;/strong&gt; that Pittsburgh could &lt;strong&gt;approach the game without &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Aaron Rodgers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and several other key starters.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;On &lt;strong&gt;Saturday&lt;/strong&gt; night, the &lt;strong&gt;Baltimore Ravens take on the Green Bay Packers&lt;/strong&gt;. If &lt;strong&gt;Baltimore loses&lt;/strong&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;Steelers&lt;/strong&gt; would &lt;strong&gt;clinch the AFC North title&lt;/strong&gt; before even stepping onto the field Sunday. In that scenario, &lt;strong&gt;Tomlin could opt to rest his starters against Cleveland&lt;/strong&gt;, eliminating the need to risk injuries ahead of the postseason.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“You know, it may,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mike Tomlin&lt;/a&gt; said on Tuesday on whether the Ravens-Packers outcome could impact his decisions for Sunday’s game against the Browns.&lt;em&gt; “I hadn’t thought about it at all, to be quite honest with you, &lt;strong&gt;I just found out this morning that that [Ravens-Packers] game is Saturday night.&lt;/strong&gt; I just learned to be tunnel vision over the years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“But as I sit here and make plans today for tomorrow in the effort to lay a foundation, to engineer victory, that’s something that’s of very little relevance to me today. I have &lt;strong&gt;plenty of time to ponder those things&lt;/strong&gt; after we get a little bit more solid about &lt;strong&gt;preparing ourselves to play the Cleveland Browns&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;When was the last time the Steelers won the AFC North?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Steelers could secure the AFC North title even before their Week 17 kickoff. If the Packers defeat the Ravens on Saturday, &lt;strong&gt;Pittsburgh would clinch the division&lt;/strong&gt; for the &lt;strong&gt;first time since 2020&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Historically, the Steelers have been the most dominant team in the AFC North. If they capture the division crown this season, it would &lt;strong&gt;mark the 25th AFC North title in franchise history&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;Cincinnati Bengals&lt;/strong&gt; rank &lt;strong&gt;second with 11 division titles&lt;/strong&gt;, well behind Pittsburgh.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/nfl-punishes-dk-metcalf-for-altercation-with-fan-during-steelers-win-over-lions&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;For &lt;strong&gt;Aaron Rodgers&lt;/strong&gt;, who is in his first season with the Steelers, winning the AFC North would send a &lt;strong&gt;strong message that the veteran quarterback is serious&lt;/strong&gt; about making a &lt;strong&gt;deep playoff run&lt;/strong&gt;. The ultimate goal remains a Super Bowl appearance at Levi’s Stadium on February 8.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if the Ravens defeat the Packers?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If &lt;strong&gt;Baltimore beats Green Bay&lt;/strong&gt; on Saturday, the &lt;strong&gt;Steelers’ path becomes more complicated&lt;/strong&gt;. Pittsburgh would then &lt;strong&gt;control its own destiny&lt;/strong&gt; but would be &lt;strong&gt;forced to play its starters&lt;/strong&gt; in Week 17 to avoid any setbacks.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In that scenario, the &lt;strong&gt;Steelers would need a win over the Browns on Sunday&lt;/strong&gt; to clinch the AFC North. A &lt;strong&gt;loss to Cleveland&lt;/strong&gt; would push the &lt;strong&gt;division decision to Week 18&lt;/strong&gt;, when Pittsburgh hosts the Ravens in the final regular-season game—a winner-take-all showdown for the division crown.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694af992e2d53b59fb2f06ac&quot; data-title=&quot;Who will win the AFC North this season?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To the surprise of many, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;’ season came to an end much earlier than expected, especially given that their minimum goal was a playoff berth. There is no time for regrets, and as a result, &lt;strong&gt;Andy Reid&lt;/strong&gt; has already begun looking ahead and planning for the &lt;strong&gt;2026 NFL season&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Beyond the players who may depart and potential reinforcements, one of the major questions centers on the composition of the coaching staff. &lt;strong&gt;Matt Nagy&lt;/strong&gt; has been linked on multiple occasions to other franchises, and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid&quot;&gt;Reid&lt;/a&gt; has not ruled out the possibility of losing one of his top assistants.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I think he deserves to be a head football coach in this league,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the head coach said Wednesday when asked about Nagy’s future, via Charles Goldman. It is worth noting that &lt;strong&gt;the Chiefs offensive coordinator is in the final year of his contract&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Matt Nagy addresses 2026 rumors&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite Reid’s endorsement, Nagy &lt;strong&gt;doesn’t want to talk about his future yet&lt;/strong&gt;. Even if the Chiefs are already eliminated from playoff contention, the offensive coordinator is being respectful with his current employers.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550515_andy-reid-matt-nagy-1_32efeee6.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Matt Nagy with Andy Reid&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-550571&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt; Head coach Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs talks with Quarterbacks Coach Matt Nagy.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Out of respect, for me, &lt;strong&gt;I want to just focus on (the Broncos)&lt;/strong&gt;… I have so much respect for the organization from top to bottom… &lt;strong&gt;All that stuff will take care of itself&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,” Nagy told reporters shortly after Reid’s comments.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/chris-oladokun-sends-clear-message-to-andy-reid-about-chiefs-qb-job-with-gardner-minshew-patrick-mahomes-injured&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Where could Matt Nagy land next season?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As the 2026 coaching cycle approaches, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy&quot;&gt;Nagy&lt;/a&gt; is emerging as a top candidate for potentially vacant head coaching roles. The &lt;strong&gt;New York Giants represent a logical destination&lt;/strong&gt; as they are currently led by interim coach Mike Kafka following the mid-season firing of Brian Daboll. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the &lt;strong&gt;Las Vegas Raiders could be in the market&lt;/strong&gt; if the organization decides to move on from Pete Carroll, who is reportedly on the “hot seat” after a struggling 2025 campaign. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Other &lt;strong&gt;potential landing spots include the Cleveland Browns&lt;/strong&gt;, where Kevin Stefanski’s job security is uncertain after a 6–25 stretch, &lt;strong&gt;and the Cincinnati Bengals&lt;/strong&gt;, as Zac Taylor faces pressure following three consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance. However, a recent report from &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-insider-reveals-if-andy-reid-and-chiefs-coaching-staff-will-change-in-2026-with-patrick-mahomes-gardner-minshew-injured&quot;&gt;NFL insider Mike Garafolo suggested that Reid and the Chiefs’ coaching staff in 2026&lt;/a&gt; may not look that different, noting that Nagy could still come back.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Oladokun’s&lt;/strong&gt; first real experience on an &lt;strong&gt;NFL &lt;/strong&gt;field has been anything but memorable. After struggling to get anything going in Week 16, Oladokun and the 6–9 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are gearing up to take on &lt;strong&gt;Bo Nix&lt;/strong&gt; and the 12–3 &lt;strong&gt;Denver Broncos&lt;/strong&gt;. With nothing left to play for other than the chance to knock their AFC West rivals off track, the Chiefs’ quarterback sent a strong message.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In the blink of an eye, the Chiefs have gone from boasting Patrick Mahomes at quarterback to having Gardner Minshew under center, then signing Chris Oladokun off the practice squad to address a glaring hole at the most important position in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt;. Needless to say, &lt;strong&gt;it’s been a character-testing stretch for Kansas City.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Although &lt;strong&gt;results haven’t gone their way&lt;/strong&gt;, the reigning AFC champions are still confident they can give any team a run for their money. Oladokun certainly thinks so, as he put &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix&quot;&gt;Nix&lt;/a&gt; and the Broncos on notice with a blunt warning shot.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;It’d be a great Christmas&lt;/strong&gt;,”&lt;/em&gt; Oladokun said on potentially playing spoiler in Week 17, via&lt;em&gt; A to Z Sports’&lt;/em&gt; Charles Goldman. “&lt;em&gt;We know we’re facing a great opponent. We definitely have our hands full, but I feel like &lt;strong&gt;we’ve got a good plan&lt;/strong&gt; to go out and play spoiler.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550490_bonix_16198d82.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Bo Nix quarterback of the Denver Broncos&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-527223&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Bo Nix quarterback of the Denver Broncos&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Oladokun and Broncos meet again&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Though it flew under the radar at the time, &lt;strong&gt;Oladokun made his first NFL appearance last season&lt;/strong&gt;. It came in Week 18, when the Chiefs visited the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos&quot;&gt;Broncos&lt;/a&gt; in a game with massive playoff implications for Denver but none for Kansas City, which had already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC. &lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/chiefs-sign-new-qb-for-andy-reid-after-gardner-minshew-and-patrick-mahomes-injuries&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;The Chiefs rolled out a lineup made up almost entirely of second-stringers—and beyond. In that context, Oladokun saw the field for a handful of snaps. He threw no passes and only rushed once for a five-yard gain.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;p&gt;There was little he could do, however, as the &lt;strong&gt;Broncos blew the Chiefs out of the water in a 38–0 win&lt;/strong&gt;. This time around, the scenario presents both similarities and differences. Nix and company could secure the top seed and home-field advantage with a win and some help elsewhere. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, the Chiefs are already eliminated from playoff contention. Though in a very different context, Kansas City is once again without Mahomes in a game &lt;strong&gt;with little at stake&lt;/strong&gt; as it faces a red-hot Denver squad fighting for its postseason. Still, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chris-oladokun-makes-strong-promise-to-andy-reid-ahead-of-chiefs-2026-qb-decisions-with-gardner-minshew-patrick-mahomes-hurt&quot;&gt;Oladokun has promised Reid to seize the opportunity as he eyes a spot with the Chiefs in 2026&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Broncos looking to break 10-year hex&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With the Broncos having defeated the Chiefs earlier in the 2025 NFL campaign, Denver now has a chance to &lt;strong&gt;sweep the season series for the first time in over a decade&lt;/strong&gt;. The last time the Broncos beat Kansas City twice in the same season was in 2014. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That year, Denver fell to the Indianapolis Colts in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. If there is a silver lining, however, it’s that the Broncos went on to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy the following season.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Boston Red Sox&lt;/strong&gt; have yet to agree to terms on a new contract with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alex-bregman&quot;&gt;Alex Bregman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the uncertainty around him takes over the &lt;strong&gt;MLB &lt;/strong&gt;offseason landscape, a report suggests a two-time All-Star could be the perfect replacement for the star third baseman.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-red-sox&quot;&gt;Red Sox&lt;/a&gt; would like nothing more than to re-sign Bregman ahead of the 2026 MLB campaign. After the star infielder opted out of the final two seasons of his three-year, $120 million contract, &lt;strong&gt;retaining him became the crystal-clear top priority&lt;/strong&gt; for the organization in The Hub. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, progress has come in fits and starts. Now, Boston may have to brace for a scenario in which the 31-year-old signs elsewhere. With that in mind, a report suggests that &lt;strong&gt;two-time All-Star &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/eugenio-suarez&quot;&gt;Eugenio Suarez&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; might be the best replacement available in free agency.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Here’s a name to consider: Eugenio Suarez,” NESN’s &lt;/em&gt;Mike Rosenstein commented on the Red Sox’s targets if Bregman doesn’t re-sign.&lt;em&gt; “The Red Sox need a power bat, preferably a right-handed hitter, and &lt;strong&gt;Suarez fits the bill&lt;/strong&gt;. However, Boston can’t wait too long because other clubs are interested as well, including the Seattle Mariners.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251224_BUS_550648_Eugenio-Suarez-1_f09dd6fa.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Eugenio Suarez in 2025&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-463103&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Eugenio Suarez at T-Mobile Park on July 31, 2025.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Suarez would cost less than Bregman&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It should go without saying but pursuing Suarez would mean saving money for Craig Breslow and the Red Sox front office. However, buying cheap can turn expensive in the long run. &lt;/p&gt;


        

        

        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-red-sox-steering-away-from-all-star-and-closer-to-alex-bregman-after-willson-contreras-trade&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;em&gt;The Athletic’s&lt;/em&gt; early contract predictions, &lt;strong&gt;Suarez is projected to sign on a three-year, $72 million contract&lt;/strong&gt; ($24 million per year) ahead of the 2026 MLB season. Meanwhile, Bregman’s projections indicate he could put pen to paper on a six-year, $182 million deal. It’s far from a team-friendly deal, but reports suggest &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/red-sox-bracing-to-pay-alex-bregmans-steep-asking-price-amid-rumors-of-three-mlb-teams-emerging-as-suitors&quot;&gt;the Red Sox are bracing to pay Bregman’s steep asking price&lt;/a&gt;, regardless.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Strikeouts&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Here’s a perhaps the main area in which signing Suarez over Bregman could come back to bite the Red Sox is the strikeout rate of each player. Suarez has led the league in strikeouts three times in his career, and he averages a &lt;strong&gt;27.4% strikeout rate (K%) throughout his career&lt;/strong&gt;. Bregman, on the other hand, registers a much more reasonable 13.4 K% over his MLB career, via &lt;em&gt;fangraphs.com&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If availability is the best ability, being able to make contact at the plate surely comes a close second. In that regard, Suarez really has no standing against Bregman when it comes to who Boston should go after. According to &lt;em&gt;Team Rankings&lt;/em&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;Red Sox averaged 8.78 strikeouts per game last season&lt;/strong&gt;—the seventh-most in MLB. Now, one would think they have learned their lesson.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694b3196e2d53b59fb2f06b7&quot; data-title=&quot;If not Bregman, who should the Red Sox sign in free agency?&quot; data-options=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MLB&lt;/strong&gt; is in the midst of a busy offseason, with many teams already planning for the 2026 season. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-harper&quot;&gt;Bryce Harper&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; knows he will carry the heavy task of taking his &lt;strong&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;/strong&gt; as far as possible, and the team is counting on him to make it happen.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In what could be seen as preparation for what’s ahead, &lt;strong&gt;Harper&lt;/strong&gt;’s important decision for the coming months was revealed: &lt;strong&gt;he will join the roster representing the United States in the upcoming World Baseball Classic&lt;/strong&gt;, according to Bob Nightengale of &lt;em&gt;USA Today&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In doing so, the Phillies star will join teammates such as Aaron Judge, Paul Skenes, Bobby Witt Jr., Corbin Carroll, Cal Raleigh, and Kyle Schwarber, among others, in the competition taking place from March 5 to 17.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Harper’s first time&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The 2026 World Baseball Classic will mark a significant milestone for Bryce Harper, as &lt;strong&gt;it will be his first time representing Team USA in the tournament&lt;/strong&gt;. Although he was highly motivated to participate in the 2023 edition, he was forced to withdraw while&lt;strong&gt; recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow&lt;/strong&gt; following the Phillies’ 2022 World Series run. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550598_bryce-harper-2_ac8f0476.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Bryce Harper&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-515320&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Bryce Harper #3 of the Philadelphia Phillies reacts as he scores.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After years of anticipation, the two-time MVP finally &lt;strong&gt;confirmed his commitment today&lt;/strong&gt;, expressing his excitement to “put the colors on his chest” for the first time since he was a teenager.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/bryce-harpers-new-star-teammate-makes-major-admission-ahead-of-phillies-2026-mlb-season&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Looking ahead for the Phillies&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After a dominant 96–66 regular season and a National League East title, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies&quot;&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;/a&gt; saw their 2025 campaign end in disappointment with an NLDS loss to the eventual champion Los Angeles Dodgers. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Led by Bryce Harper, the team enters the 2026 season with a “win-now” mentality, &lt;strong&gt;recently reinforcing their lineup by re-signing Kyle Schwarber and adding power-hitter Adolis Garcia. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With a veteran core that includes Trea Turner and Zack Wheeler, the Phillies are focused on overcoming their recent postseason hurdles to finally secure the World Series trophy that has eluded this group.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are reportedly among the franchises eager to add &lt;strong&gt;Cody Bellinger&lt;/strong&gt; to their roster for the upcoming MLB season. Joining &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-in-danger-of-losing-cody-bellinger-to-an-nl-powerhouse&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the Yankees in this pursuit, there is one in the NL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Amid this competitive landscape, the Yankees are contemplating a Plan B in case Bellinger does not sign with them.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to a report from Yankees Source, the team has an alternative strategy should &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-could-pivot-to-proven-astros-ace-amid-cody-bellinger-free-agency-push&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bellinger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; not join the roster. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“If the Yankees can’t secure Bellinger, Jones could seamlessly step into left field,”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; they noted on their X account.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Considering this possibility, the Yankees might find in Jones a solution to their offensive woes. He was a standout performer in the minors last season, &lt;strong&gt;and the fanbase even called for his assistance during the team’s struggles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, one of the main priorities for the Yankees regarding additions next season is Bellinger, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-set-terms-to-re-sign-cody-bellinger-amid-multi-team-interest&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;as the Yanks already set terms to re-sign Cody&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;who was notably beneficial for the team&lt;/strong&gt;, aiming to solidify a postseason position in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550589_bellinger-yankees-4_28f30c42.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Cody Bellinger&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-544335&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Cody Bellinger #35 with the New York Yankees.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Jones’ stats in the minors last season&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Spencer Jones, the Yankees’ top outfield prospect, experienced a dynamic and record-setting season in the minor leagues in 2025. Splitting his time between Double-A (Somerset) and Triple-A (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre), &lt;strong&gt;he was named to the All-MiLB Prospect First Team&lt;/strong&gt; after significantly enhancing his power output, despite continuing to face high strikeout rates.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-could-pivot-to-proven-astros-ace-amid-cody-bellinger-free-agency-push&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Games (G): 116&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Batting Average (AVG): .274&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Home Runs (HR): 35&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Runs Batted In (RBI): 80&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stolen Bases (SB): 29&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;OPS: .933&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strikeouts (SO): 179&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Highlights and areas for improvement for Jones&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Jones recorded 35 home runs and were the most by a Yankees minor leaguer in a single season in over a decade. &lt;strong&gt;He consistently hit with exit velocities over 110 mph, with a peak surpassing 115 mph.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, while he slightly improved his contact rate in July, he ended the season with 179 strikeouts. &lt;strong&gt;His high swing-and-miss tendency is the primary factor delaying his permanent MLB call-up.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694b0658e2d53b59fb2f06ae&quot; data-title=&quot;Do you think Jones could be a great plan B for the Yankees, if Bellinger doesn&apos;t sign?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Yankees Rumors: Team reportedly develops backup strategy if Cody Bellinger opts out of signing for next season - Bolavip US

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Luke Weaver&lt;/strong&gt; made waves all over &lt;strong&gt;MLB&lt;/strong&gt; when signing with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets&quot;&gt;New York Mets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. After spending the last two seasons with the &lt;strong&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/strong&gt;, his transition to their counterparts in Queens didn’t sit well with several fans in The Bronx. Now, the veteran pitcher has sent a clear message on his decision.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Though the Mets got off to a disheartening start this MLB offseason, they’ve managed to &lt;strong&gt;pick up the pace&lt;/strong&gt;. Unfortunately for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;Yankees&lt;/a&gt;, the team in Queens improved at their expense. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;By signing a pair of former Pinstripes in Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, the Orange and Blue sent a &lt;strong&gt;message heard loud and clear across the Big Apple&lt;/strong&gt;. The Mets are going for broke, whereas the Yankees are seemingly playing their cards way too conservatively.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Weaver sets record straight after signing with Mets&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weaver’s move may feel like treason&lt;/strong&gt; to some die-hard Yankees fans, but the 32-year-old pitcher has a clear conscience. With nothing to hide, he delivered a sincere farewell statement to the organization he called home for the past two years.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550562_Luke-Weaver-looks-on_c629f28f.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Luke Weaver looks on&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-541843&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Luke Weaver during a game in 2025&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“My career coming to what felt like an end. Overwhelmed with injuries and failure… it seemed destined that the next chapter of my life was within reach. But did the Lord have other plans for me. Yankees fans and those that really showed me your love/support…&lt;strong&gt;thank you from the bottom of my heart&lt;/strong&gt;,” &lt;/em&gt;Weaver wrote on his latest Instagram post.&lt;em&gt; “What a ride it was and a rejuvenation I longed for. Another new chapter begins for me &lt;strong&gt;but memories are forever&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/ny-yankees-accept-harsh-reality-in-push-for-tatsuya-imai-amid-cody-bellinger-ongoing-rumors&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Weaver’s new deal&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Weaver has signed a &lt;strong&gt;two-year, $22 million contract&lt;/strong&gt; with the Mets ahead of the 2026 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb&quot;&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt; season. Coming off a strong year with the Yankees—in which he served both at the starting and closer position—Weaver proved his worth to the rest of the league, and the Mets made sure to cash in on the former Pinstriper. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Across his two full seasons with the Yankees in 2024 and 2025, Weaver registered 53 earned runs, 11 wins, 7 losses, and an&lt;strong&gt; earned run average (ERA) of 3.25&lt;/strong&gt; across 126 appearances. Now, he is taking his talents to Queens, hoping to post even better numbers than he did in The Bronx.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; may still have room to pivot their offseason plans, even as attention has centered on their pursuit of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cody-bellinger&quot;&gt;Cody Bellinger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. While the club’s winter has moved at a measured pace, recent speculation suggests New York has not closed the door on adding a proven frontline starter before Opening Day.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite mixed signals from team leadership, the &lt;strong&gt;Yankees continue to be linked to multiple high-profile arms&lt;/strong&gt;. One scenario gaining traction would involve pairing a major rotation addition with a reunion or commitment to a middle-of-the-order bat, reshaping the roster more dramatically than previously expected.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That possibility gained new momentum after a national report floated the idea that &lt;strong&gt;New York could still make a significant move involving a veteran left-hander &lt;/strong&gt;with deep postseason experience.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Yankees still linked to Astros left-hander&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In a recent column for &lt;em&gt;Forbes&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Chuck Murr&lt;/em&gt; suggested the Yankees should not be ruled out in the market for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-astros&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Houston Astros&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ace &lt;strong&gt;Framber Valdez&lt;/strong&gt;, noting that a combination of Valdez and Bellinger could outperform other speculative paths the team has considered this winter.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550327_valdez_034d17a2.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-550338&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Framber Valdez #59 of the Astros pitches against the Athletics. Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;Don’t discount the Yankees bidding big for Framber Valdez and re-signing Bellinger, either,&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/em&gt; Murr wrote. &lt;em&gt;“Getting both could turn out being better than adding the yet MLB-unproven Imai and [Kyle] Tucker.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-blue-jays-receive-concerning-update-on-kyle-tucker-free-agency-pursuit&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Rotation needs could shape Yankees’ decision&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With parts of the Yankees’ rotation still recovering from injury, &lt;strong&gt;Valdez’s durability and playoff résumé could be appealing&lt;/strong&gt;. According to &lt;em&gt;The Athletic&lt;/em&gt;, he is projected to command a long-term deal north of $190 million, placing him among the top free agents available this offseason.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694ab62de2d53b59fb2f06a0&quot; data-title=&quot;Which move should the Yankees prioritize this offseason?&quot; data-options=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;While New York has also been linked to Japanese star &lt;strong&gt;Tatsuya Imai&lt;/strong&gt;, manager &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-boone&quot;&gt;Aaron Boone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; recently tempered expectations by suggesting the club may not view another starter as an immediate necessity. That uncertainty has fueled speculation that, if the Yankees do strike, they could prioritize an MLB-proven arm rather than an international projection.&lt;/p&gt;

These two Premier League powerhouses are competing for a coveted spot in the semifinals, with fans eagerly anticipating the outcome to see which team advances to the next round.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This showdown features two London-based teams experiencing contrasting fortunes in the Premier League and international competitions. &lt;strong&gt;Arsenal currently lead the league by two points over Manchester City&lt;/strong&gt;, one of the tournament’s most formidable teams.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Crystal Palace sit three points shy of an international tournament spot in the standings&lt;strong&gt; and trail Arsenal by 10 points&lt;/strong&gt;. Nevertheless, they are competing in the UEFA Conference League, where they progressed to the next round just last week.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Arsenal are also excelling in the Champions League, topping the standings and &lt;strong&gt;securing direct qualification to the next round with an impressive 6-0-0 record&lt;/strong&gt;. These two teams present differing narratives yet share a common goal: reaching the semifinals of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/efl-cup&quot;&gt;EFL Cup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Arsenal beat Crystal Palace?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Arsenal defeat Crystal Palace today, they will progress to the EFL Cup semifinals.&lt;/strong&gt; It’s important to note that this stage consists of single-match games, and Arsenal have the home advantage in this encounter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A victory would set up a classic London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea, as “The Blues” &lt;strong&gt;await the winner of this quarterfinal clash in the semifinals&lt;/strong&gt;, after beating Cardiff last week.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Arsenal and Crystal Palace tie?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Arsenal and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/crystal-palace&quot;&gt;Crystal Palace&lt;/a&gt; tie today, the match will proceed to a penalty shootout &lt;/strong&gt;to determine who advances to the semifinals. This change in format means there is no extra time, a rule that has been in place since the 2018-19 season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Arsenal lose against Crystal Palace?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace today, they will be eliminated from the EFL Cup&lt;/strong&gt; and miss the opportunity to face Chelsea in the semifinals. Regardless of the margin of defeat or if it comes by penalties, Arsenal would then shift their focus to their other ongoing competitions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Defending last season’s success in &lt;strong&gt;MLS&lt;/strong&gt; and reclaiming the championship will be &lt;strong&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/strong&gt;’s primary goal. Far from resting on its laurels, the club continues to strengthen its roster to support &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the best possible way for the season ahead.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facundo Mura, who has been playing for Racing Club in Argentina, is reportedly set to join the Herons&lt;/strong&gt; ahead of the upcoming season. According to the latest report from Cesar Luis Merlo on his X account,&lt;strong&gt; the defender turned down interest from River Plate&lt;/strong&gt; in order to team up with Messi.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Argentine transfer market expert also revealed that &lt;strong&gt;Mura will sign a contract with &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami&quot;&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/a&gt; through June 2029&lt;/strong&gt;. This way, Javier Mascherano will add experience to a defense that may have been one of the team’s weakest points.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Mura began his professional soccer career at Estudiantes de La Plata, had a brief stint with Colon, and most recently played for Racing Club. There, he celebrated winning the 2024 Copa Sudamericana. With his contract running out, the defender is joining Inter Miami &lt;strong&gt;as a free agent&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550330_facundo-mura_031d9516.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Facundo Mura&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-550349&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Facundo Mura of Racing Club.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Inter Miami look to add another Argentine&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Inter Miami &lt;strong&gt;are also reportedly showing strong interest in acquiring Giovani Lo Celso&lt;/strong&gt; to further bolster their star-studded midfield. The MLS side views the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/inter-miami-reportedly-want-to-pair-lionel-messi-and-rodrigo-de-paul-with-another-argentina-international&quot;&gt;Argentine international as an ideal creative partner for Messi and Rodrigo De Paul&lt;/a&gt;, aiming to leverage their existing chemistry from the national team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While securing a deal for the Real Betis midfielder would require a significant move, Inter Miami appear determined to bring his vision and tactical versatility to Florida as&lt;strong&gt; they continue to build a championship-caliber roster &lt;/strong&gt;around their core of veteran stars.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/bad-news-for-cristiano-ronaldo-as-fifa-hits-al-nassr-with-strong-punishment&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Al Nassr&lt;/strong&gt; had received troubling news in recent days&lt;/a&gt; ahead of the upcoming season, a development that effectively left them without room to operate in the transfer window and limited their ability to add reinforcements around &lt;strong&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/strong&gt; in Saudi Arabia.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That situation changed after new clarification from &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fifa&quot;&gt;FIFA&lt;/a&gt;. According to Fabrizio Romano, &lt;strong&gt;FIFA officially cleared Al Nassr of any irregularities&lt;/strong&gt;, confirming the club now fully complies with regulations and is once again eligible to register new players.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The registration ban that had affected the Saudi Pro League side was &lt;strong&gt;permanently lifted, and the case was formally closed&lt;/strong&gt;. The sanction dated back to an unresolved financial dispute linked to a past transfer, &lt;strong&gt;which had prevented Al Nassr from registering new signings&lt;/strong&gt; despite being active in the market.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That issue was fully resolved after the club met FIFA’s requirements, removing all remaining restrictions. &lt;strong&gt;The ruling represents a significant boost for Al Nassr&lt;/strong&gt;, which continue moving forward with their sporting and recruitment plans ahead of 2026 and can now operate normally in upcoming transfer windows.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; data-id=&quot;542782&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251222_BUS_550019_Cristiano-Ronaldo-looks-on-3_aac276a0.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Cristiano Ronaldo looks on&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-542782&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo of team Al-Nassr FC.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;A title celebrated by Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Al Nassr are scheduled to play in the 2025–26 AFC Champions League Two against Al Zawraa SC. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo&quot;&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt; is not expected to feature in that match&lt;/strong&gt; and is projected to return for the Saudi Pro League clash against Al Okhdood Club on Saturday, December 27.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/mls-co-founder-compares-messi-with-previous-stars-who-played-in-the-us-weighs-in-on-ronaldos-saudi-arabia-move&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        

        


&lt;p&gt;While waiting to rejoin domestic competition, &lt;strong&gt;Ronaldo still had reason to celebrate success linked to the club.&lt;/strong&gt; Although he had not yet lifted an official title with the men’s team, he did celebrate silverware achieved by another Al Nassr squad.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Riyadh-based club’s women’s team &lt;strong&gt;won the Women’s Premier Challenge Cup after defeating Al Ahli 2–0 in the final&lt;/strong&gt;, securing the trophy and drawing attention across the organization.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;div class=&quot;ck-twitter&quot;&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;art&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/FKTARJRPof&quot;&gt;https://t.co/FKTARJRPof&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/Cristiano/status/2002726115643998243?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;December 21, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ronaldo acknowledged the achievement on social media, &lt;strong&gt;reacting with applause emojis on his official X account&lt;/strong&gt;. The club responded by thanking him for his continued support, as the Portuguese star remains focused on the objective of capturing his first official title with &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al%20nassr&quot;&gt;Al Nassr&lt;/a&gt;, a goal that now appears more attainable with transfer restrictions removed.&lt;/p&gt;
