				    <![CDATA[Jamaal Williams hasn't taken an NFL handoff since January 2025. The New England Patriots just gave him a reason to keep training. The 2022 NFL rushing touchdowns leader was one of five free agents who worked out for New England on Tuesday in Foxboro, 98.5 The Sports Hub reported, citing NFL insider Ari Meirov. No signing had been reported as of Tuesday night. The timing isn't a coincidence. Lead back Rhamondre Stevenson limped off with about a minute left in Sunday's 29-26 win at Buffalo, and coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that Stevenson would not practice. The door isn't closed on Sunday, though. "There's a chance he could play," Vrabel said, per Patriots Wire. Behind Stevenson, the Patriots (2-2) have only TreVeyon Henderson and Corey Kiner on the active roster, with Lan Larison on the practice squad. New England also had two open roster spots after releasing edge rusher Jose Ramirez on Tuesday, and it hosts the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. If Williams gets another shot, it'll come four years after the best season of his career. In 2022, his second year in Detroit, he ran for 1,066 yards and an NFL-high 17 touchdowns, breaking Barry Sanders' Lions record of 16. He set it at Lambeau Field, of all places. Williams scored twice against his former team in the regular-season finale, helping the Lions knock the Packers out of playoff contention. Then he gave one of the most memorable postgame interviews of the year, tearing up as he dedicated the night to his late great-grandfather before turning to the doubters and telling them to "stop playing with us." That season was the outlier in a career built on being dependable. A fourth-round pick out of BYU in 2017, Williams led the Packers in rushing as a rookie and spent four years as Aaron Jones' running mate in Green Bay before signing with Detroit in 2021. The 2022 breakout earned him a three-year, $12 million deal with the New Orleans Saints, but he managed just 470 rushing yards and two touchdowns over two seasons there before being released in March 2025. He still scored at least one rushing touchdown in all eight of his NFL seasons and has 4,122 career rushing yards and 32 touchdowns. Williams worked out for the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins in August 2025 but went unsigned and sat out the entire season. He has been knocking on doors since. Last month, Williams reached out to Lions coach Dan Campbell about a reunion, the Detroit Free Press reported. Campbell told him Detroit was set at running back for now but would keep him in mind. Now, at 31, he's waiting to see if New England calls back.]]>

				    <![CDATA[There's a race to the bottom of the NFL standings four games into the season, including some surprisingly winless teams. A record-tying five teams are 0-4 one month in, marking just the seventh time that has happened in NFL history and the first since 2019. Some of the winless teams aren't too surprising, with Miami there as part of a rebuild in a season when the Dolphins are carrying a record $184 million in dead money charges on the salary cap. Tennessee is winless after back-to-back three-win seasons. The other winless teams are a bit more of a surprise: Tampa Bay is there after coming into the season as the favorite to win the NFC South, while Houston and the Los Angeles Chargers are 0-4 after making the playoffs last season. This is just the third time in NFL history that two teams started a season 0-4 after making the playoffs the previous season. It also happened in 1999 with defending conference champions Atlanta and Denver doing it, and in 1992 with the Los Angeles Raiders and New York Jets both starting 0-4. The Buccaneers have lost four one-score games, with their minus-20 point differential the fifth-best ever for an 0-4 team, and the best since Minnesota was outscored by 19 points over the first four games in 2011. The Chargers haven't been nearly as competitive, getting outscored by 39 points for the second-worst point differential in the league so far. The start for the Texans has been frustrating because they have led in the final 2 minutes in three of the four losses, including a 34-30 loss to Dallas on Sunday when the Cowboys scored the winning touchdown with 40 seconds to play. They are the second team since at least 1991 to lose three times in the first four games after leading in the final 2 minutes. The Chargers did it in 2016. The only other teams in the Super Bowl era to start the season 0-4 despite leading at any point in the fourth quarter in three of the games were the 2013 Bucs and 2011 Vikings. C.J. Stroud is the first quarterback since 1950, when starts were first tracked, to lose the first four games of a season without throwing an interception. Three teams have started the season 4-0, with Kansas City and Minnesota doing it after missing the playoffs in 2025. The last time two teams started 4-0 after missing the playoffs was 2013, when the Chiefs and New Orleans did it. Reporting by the Associated Press.]]>

				    <![CDATA[After losing Tyler Lindenbaum to the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency this past offseason, the Baltimore Ravens have finally filled the void. The Ravens have acquired center Cam Jurgens from the Philadelphia Eagles, the team announced on Wednesday afternoon. Baltimore is sending a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick to Philadelphia for Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick, per ESPN. At just 27 years old, Jurgens was groomed and once viewed as the heir apparent to long-time All-Pro center Jason Kelce. With a clear need at center after losing multiple centers to injury, Jurgens should project seamlessly within Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle’s scheme. After Landon Dickerson landed on injured reserve early in the season, Jurgens briefly kicked out to left guard while rookie Drew Kendall stepped in at center. With the trade to the Ravens now official, the expectation is that Jurgens will shift back to his natural center position. The Ravens' depth at the position took a major hit after losing starting center Danny Pinter to season-ending knee surgery in training camp. Matters worsened when both Ethan Pocic and Jovaughn Gwyn suffered injuries in Week 3, paving the way for Wednesday’s trade for Jurgens. Jurgens signed a four-year, $68 million contract extension in the 2025 offseason and remains under contract through the 2029 season. Following the trade, the Eagles now have multiple first- and second-round picks in the 2028 NFL Draft and are up to nine picks total; they acquired an extra first-round pick in June in the A.J. Brown trade with the New England Patriots. Jurgens has struggled this season, recording a 38.7 overall grade along with a 31.7 pass-blocking and 50.3 run-blocking grade, according to Pro Football Focus. He'll be switching schemes, with the Ravens potentially viewing Jurgens as a better fit for their wide-zone run scheme. With the center position solidified, all eyes turn toward quarterback Lamar Jackson’s health as the Ravens pursue Super Bowl aspirations under first-year head coach Jesse Minter. Jackson is expected to miss Baltimore's Week 5 road tilt against the Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle sprain.]]>

				    <![CDATA[Coaching arguably has the biggest impact on whether NFL teams win or lose and plays a major role in determining the landscape of the league. However, the Coach of the Year award does not always go to the league’s best coach or the coach of the team with the best record. It typically rewards the coach who exceeds preseason expectations, engineers a major turnaround or takes a franchise to the next level. So with that, let's check out the odds to win the 2026 NFL Coach of the Year at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Oct. 7. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. Ben Johnson (Bears): +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)Klint Kubiak (Raiders): +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Todd Monken (Browns): +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)Kevin O'Connell (Vikings): +850 (bet $10 to win $95 total)John Harbaugh (Giants): +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)Liam Coen (Jaguars): +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)Kyle Shanahan: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)Jesse Minter (Ravens): +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)Kevin Stefanski (Falcons): +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)Kellen Moore (Saints): +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)Joe Brady (Bills): +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total) Here's what to know about this oddsboard: The Favorites: John Harbaugh opened the season as the +600 favorite to win the award, but after a blowout Week 2 loss to the Rams and starting quarterback Jaxson Dart suffering a season-ending injury, Harbaugh’s odds have fallen to +1100. But the new favorite for Coach of the Year is Ben Johnson. Even after losing starting quarterback Caleb Williams in Week 2 to a hamstring injury, Johnson and the Bears are 3-1. One of those wins was a decisive 27-7 victory over the Eagles in Week 3. Right behind him on the oddsboard is the Raiders' Klint Kubiak. Over three weeks, he's led the Raiders to a 3-1 record, including a huge upset win over the Chargers. Over the last decade, 60% of Coach of the Year winners have been in their first season with their team. Could Kubiak keep that trend going? Past Winners: In 2025, Mike Vrabel won the award in his first season as the Patriots head coach, transforming the Pats from a 4-13 record in 2024 to a 13-4 record in 2025, an AFC East title and a Super Bowl appearance. Vrabel has now won COTY twice (last season and in 2021 with the Titans). In 2024, Kevin O'Connell won the award, and in 2023, Kevin Stefanski won it for the second time in his career (2020 and 2023).]]>

				    <![CDATA[Earning the No. 1 seed gives a team a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs — two major advantages in the chase for the Lombardi. Since 2013, six of the 13 Super Bowl winners have been the top seed in their respective conference. Through four weeks, the Chiefs and 49ers lead the oddsboards after 4-0 starts. Kansas City is looking like its old self after missing the playoffs last season, while San Francisco has moved ahead of the preseason NFC favorite Rams. Let’s check out the No. 1 seed odds for both the AFC and NFC at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Oct. 7. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. No. 1 Seed Odds AFC Kansas City Chiefs: +235 (bet $10 to win $33.50 total)Buffalo Bills: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total)Baltimore Ravens: +380 (bet $10 to win $48 total)Jacksonville Jaguars: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)Cincinnati Bengals: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)Denver Broncos: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)New England Patriots: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)Las Vegas Raiders: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Indianapolis Colts: +5500 (bet $10 to win $560 total)Cleveland Browns: +5500 (bet $10 to win $560 total)Pittsburgh Steelers: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Houston Texans: +12000 (bet $10 to win $1,210 total)New York Jets: +15000 (bet $10 to win $1,510 total)Los Angeles Chargers: +30000 (bet $10 to win $3,010 total)Tennessee Titans: +80000 (bet $10 to win $8,010 total)Miami Dolphins: +100000 (bet $10 to win $10,010 total) What to know: Last season, the Broncos earned the AFC’s No. 1 seed before falling to the Patriots in heartbreaking fashion in the AFC Championship Game. In 2023, the Ravens finished 13-4 to secure the top seed but were eliminated by Kansas City in the conference championship. Now, the Chiefs are back atop the oddsboard. After missing the playoffs last season, Kansas City has started 4-0 and moved from +780 before the season to +235 to earn the AFC’s No. 1 seed. The Chiefs have claimed the top seed four times with Patrick Mahomes as their starter in (2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024) and reached the Super Bowl in each of the last three instances. Buffalo sits second at +300, followed by Baltimore at +380. The Ravens entered the season as the +400 favorites, but Kansas City’s unbeaten start has put the Chiefs in front. NFC San Francisco 49ers: +190 (bet $10 to win $29 total)Seattle Seahawks: +480 (bet $10 to win $58 total)Minnesota Vikings: +550 (bet $10 to win $65 total)Los Angeles Rams: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Philadelphia Eagles: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total)Chicago Bears: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total)Detroit Lions: +1400 (bet $10 to win $150 total)Dallas Cowboys: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)Atlanta Falcons: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Green Bay Packers: +5500 (bet $10 to win $560 total)Carolina Panthers: +6000 (bet $10 to win $610 total)New York Giants: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)New Orleans Saints: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)Washington Commanders: +15000 (bet $10 to win $1,510 total)Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +40000 (bet $10 to win $4,010 total)Arizona Cardinals: +50000 (bet $10 to win $5,010 total) What to know: The Seahawks earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed in 2025, with home-field advantage helping Seattle on its way to a Lombardi Trophy. The Rams finished with the conference’s second-best record but were the No. 5 seed after finishing second in the NFC West. In 2024, the Lions went 15-2 to claim the top seed before being upset at home in the divisional round. The Eagles and 49ers earned the No. 1 seed in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and both reached the Super Bowl before losing to the Chiefs. Through four weeks of 2026, San Francisco has taken control of the oddsboard. The 49ers 4-0 start includes wins over the Rams and Broncos, two teams that reached their respective conference championship games last season. Their odds have shortened from +900 before the season to +190, making them the new favorites to finish atop the NFC. San Francisco has been the No. 1 seed twice under Kyle Shanahan, in 2019 and 2023, and reached the Super Bowl both times. Brock Purdy has helped fuel this year’s unbeaten start with 11 touchdown passes and just one interception. Meanwhile, the Rams entered the season as the +305 favorites but are 2-2 and have slipped to fourth at +600. Seattle (+480) and Minnesota (+550) also sit ahead of Los Angeles as the race for the NFC’s first-round bye takes shape.]]>

				    <![CDATA[Welcome to the Quarterback Notebook, where I’ll cover the past week in NFL quarterbacking — from the most interesting passers, plays and storylines to some other stuff that caught my eye while watching film this week. This week, we’ll ask the Bengals to let Joe Burrow cook, dig into Jalen Hurts’ issues against the blitz, and get frustrated over Bo Nix’s checkdowns. Let’s talk quarterbacks. Building a more comprehensive under-center offense was a pet project for the Bengals this past offseason, and it took about 3.5 games for the team to scrap it. You could make out the exact moment when Burrow decided enough was enough. It came on the opening drive of the third quarter in Sunday’s loss to Jacksonville. Burrow was sacked on an under-center dropback on the very first play. After getting the drive back on track, Burrow lined up under center again and handed it off to Chase Brown, who was stuffed behind the line of scrimmage. The Bengals offense had logged 11 under-center plays up until that point. They ran just one more, a QB sneak at the goal line, for the rest of the game. Cincinnati had just three points before flipping that switch. Burrow, who’s most comfortable in the gun, found a rhythm and nearly led a second-half comeback. Some of the plays he made during that rally were unreal. He finished with over 400 passing yards on 54 attempts, which offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher called "not sustainable" after the game. Meanwhile, Burrow suggested the Bengals should "throw it more" to make up for a struggling run game. Those seem like opposing viewpoints, but I agree with both sides. While throwing it 50-plus times is unsustainable for almost every team in the NFL, the Bengals have built their roster to be one of the few teams that can do it. Between the contracts they’ve given to Burrow and his two star wideouts, and the resources they’ve poured into the offensive line, they’re spending a lot on their dropback passing game. Burrow is one of the few quarterbacks who’s been better in obvious passing situations this season. Per Next Gen Stats, he’s averaging 8.6 yards per attempt and 0.14 expected points added per dropback on plays with a pre-snap pass probability over 75% – based on down and distance and the score of the game. In all other situations, he’s averaging 6.4 yards per attempt and 0.0 EPA per dropback. Burrow should be better in situations where defenses can’t hone in on the pass, but the under-center portions of the pass game have tanked his early-down numbers. Cincinnati may want to be a hard-nosed team that can line up under center and mash the football on the ground, but it doesn't have the horses to do it. As Burrow said before the season, "A big part of the under center is the run game, and in the run game you have to break tackles to make it go, so we’ll see come the first game." Four games in, and Bengals running backs aren’t doing a good job of breaking tackles. They’re averaging a league-low 1.7 yards after contact. They’re one of three teams with no rush attempts that have gone for more than 10 yards "over expected," per Next Gen Stats. Brown and backup Samaje Perine are solid backs who contribute to the pass game, but neither moves the needle as a runner. If Cincinnati wants to make its ground game more explosive, it should look at how Kansas City did it this past offseason, and how Philadelphia did it in its Super Bowl-winning season. Those teams didn’t do it with a schematic overhaul. They added a superstar back who could turn three-yard gains into explosive plays. Unless the Bengals want to call the Eagles and ask about Saquon Barkley’s availability — wait, that’s actually a pretty good idea — they need to drop this under-center plan and just let Burrow cook. We in the media throw around the word "blitz" too loosely. Any time five or more rushers come after the quarterback, we call it a "blitz." Coaches use it a bit differently. To them, a "blitz" is an all-out pressure where the secondary plays man coverage across the field with no safety help — or Cover 0, as it’s conventionally known. Here’s former NFL coach Wade Phillips complaining about our usage of the term back in 2016. Apologies to Wade, but we still haven’t learned in the ten years since he tweeted that out, and we’re still using "blitz" as a catch-all term. I say all that to say this: Hurts doesn’t have a blitz problem. In fact, he hasn’t seen many this season. Per Pro Football Focus, the Eagles quarterback has faced Cover 0 on just four dropbacks this season. Three of them came in the red zone, and the other came on a fourth-and-22 play against Chicago. Hurts doesn’t have issues against all-out blitzes; he struggles against the five-man pressures Wade calls "dogs." More specifically, he’s been rendered completely ineffective when teams send a five-man pressure with a two-deep zone behind it. His numbers on the season against those looks, via Pro Football Focus: 13 dropbacks2 completions13 passing yards-10 sack yards1 touchdown The lone touchdown accounted for all of Hurts’ passing yards against the two-high zone pressures. That was wide receiver Darius Cooper’s jump-ball touchdown against the Rams this past Sunday, which could have been intercepted. Here are all 13 of the dropbacks against those defensive looks. The core issue is one that Eagles fans have heard often: Hurts isn’t comfortable ripping throws over the middle against zone coverage. Against these two-deep zone defenses, the middle is wide open, whether it’s the Cover 2 or Quarters variant. If you’re not attacking the middle of the field against those looks, you’re playing into the defense’s hands. The flats are well covered by the corners, and with two-deep safeties, it’s difficult to connect on deep perimeter shots, which have been the strength of Hurts’ game throughout his career. On top of that, with five rushers clogging up the interior rush lanes, Hurts has to get to the perimeter to scramble, where he’s not nearly as effective. The Eagles offense was tormented by the same defensive looks back in 2023 and never found a solution. The fix came the following offseason when Saquon Barkley joined the team and started ripping off explosive runs. That changed how defenses could play Philadelphia. Now, with the run game struggling and Barkley out injured, the passing game is back where it was three years ago. Nick Sirianni and Hurts have had three years to think about this problem. They have only 13 games to show they’ve figured it out and avoid some uncomfortable offseason conversations. It’s time for the internet’s favorite (and only) all-22 screenshot-based game show: "Where Did He Throw It?" If you’re unfamiliar with the game, the rules are simple: I show you a screenshot of a quarterback at the top of his dropback, and you guess which receiver gets the target. Nix is in the hot seat this time. The play came on a second-and-4 early in Sunday’s loss to the 49ers. Nix has just finished his drop after a play-action fake, and he has four receiving options downfield: So where did he throw it? Your options are… A. Wide receiver Marvin Mims on the deep post designed to take the top off the coverage.B. Tight end Evan Engram running the deep over route toward the left sideline.C. Running back R.J. Harvey in the flat, with a cornerback in position to rally for the tackle.D. Tight end Nate Adkins over the middle. If you guessed B, you feel the same way head coach Sean Payton and offensive coordinator Davis Webb likely did when they watched the film back on Sunday night. That’s the route this play is designed to open up. Mims’ route pushes back the third level of the coverage. Harvey’s presence in the flat keeps Ji’Ayr Brown pinned down on the outside. Adkins occupies Fred Warner’s attention in the middle. Engram is running into open grass, and Nix has plenty of time and space in the pocket to make the throw. Instead, he does this… Congrats to everyone who picked D. You’re either familiar with Nix’s game or really like checkdowns. That was one of the 13 checkdowns Nix threw against San Francisco, per Pro Football Focus. Only Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins has thrown more in a single game this season. I watched all those dropbacks so you didn’t have to, and I found seven instances when Nix passed up an open option downfield to check it down. Nix has thrown 30 checkdowns this season, per Pro Football Focus. That’s tied with Lions quarterback Jared Goff for the league lead. That wouldn’t be a bad thing if Nix wasn’t turning down big play opportunities to make those safe passes. Checkdowns can keep an offense on track. But Nix isn’t doing that for the Broncos offense. If he’s not going to throw it downfield, Nix should consider scrambling more often. It’s one of his strengths, and he hasn’t tapped into it nearly enough this season. Only three quarterbacks who have logged at least 100 dropbacks have fewer scrambles than Nix this season: Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers, Packers QB Jordan Love and Cousins. Rodgers and Cousins can’t move, and Love is getting hit before he can even consider scrambling. Nix has no excuses. I remain skeptical of Bryce Young’s hot start to the season, but his performance Sunday against the Lions made me reconsider my stance on the Panthers quarterback. We’ve seen Young succeed by throwing perimeter go balls to his two big receivers, but he won a different way against the Lions. He targeted the middle of the field with confidence, which has been difficult to find on his tape over the first few seasons of his career. If Young can produce more passing maps like this against better defenses, he’ll have a much higher ceiling going forward. Considering the situation, that’s a ludicrous decision by Dak Prescott. Most quarterbacks see Texans safety Jalen Pitre buzzing underneath receiver CeeDee Lamb’s route and take the checkdown for a short gain to set up a manageable third down. This is a game of "Where did he throw it?" that Bo Nix definitely fails. But Prescott is a madman in the best way possible, which is why football nerds will always cherish him. This is seriously the worst throw I’ve ever seen from Justin Herbert. He’s had some playoff stinkers, but I’ve never seen him play as poorly as he did in the first half against the Seahawks. He was terrible, but I’m ashamed to admit that his second half pulled me right back in. I’m going down with the ship, and here’s why:]]>

				    <![CDATA[San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk won his appeal over the fines issued by the NFL for what it deemed an "offensive" celebration when he imitated drinking a beverage, which the league said looked like he was chugging a beer. Juszczyk was initially fined $29,852 for two infractions of the league’s sportsmanship rules after celebrating two catches in the third quarter of a Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. Juszczyk performed the celebration he has done for years while the fans at Levi’s Stadium cheered "Juice!" for his nickname. He appealed the fine and an appeals officer ruled in his favor, the league said Wednesday. ESPN first reported that the fine had been rescinded on appeal. The NFL has vowed to crack down on celebrations this season and initially ruled that the "imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste." Juszczyk has been doing a version of that celebration throughout his career in San Francisco in response to 49ers fans chanting his nickname after catches or other big plays. He argued in the appeal that he was imitating drinking juice. "I don’t know how else to say it. I wasn’t drinking beer in my celebration," Juszczyk said on Sept. 24. "I think you guys all know my nickname is Juice. I have Juice on my pads. The stadium yells ‘Juice!’ when I catch the ball. When I celebrate, I celebrate by drinking juice, and it’s been that way for years. So I was surprised as anybody when I got a fine this week." Juszczyk has been the 49ers’ nominee for the Art Rooney Award for sportsmanship for the past six seasons. The only fines he previously has had were for illegal use of the helmet and low blocks. Juszczyk is in his 14th season in the NFL and 10th with San Francisco. He has made the Pro Bowl 10 times and was an All-Pro in 2023 and ’25. Reporting by The Associated Press.]]>

				    <![CDATA[The Dallas Cowboys just saved their season. The Chicago Bears are surviving without Caleb Williams. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the biggest surprise in the AFC. And the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks have picked up right they left off last year. Each week, I dive into the All-22 coaches' film before offering a few insights to watch. Here are four developments that could be long-term storylines involving some of the best teams and players in the NFL. If you enjoy watching a chess match on artificial turf, you might want to tune in when the San Francisco 49ers take on the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX) for the battle of wits between Kyle Shanahan and Mike Macdonald. As brilliant schemers with voluminous playbooks loaded with creative play designs from various personnel groupings, the whiteboard matchup will showcase the imagination and innovative tactics of two of the league’s best coaches. The 46-year-old Shanahan has revolutionized football with variations of a zone-based scheme popularized by his legendary (and Super Bowl-winning) father, Mike. The 49ers' run-heavy formations are built on off-tackle plays perfectly complemented by exotic pre-snap shifts, motions and condensed alignments. With the constant movement and misdirection leaving defenders dazed and confused, San Francisco routinely generates explosive plays on blown assignments and misalignments. The 39-year-old Macdonald, though, has often neutralized the Niners by featuring two-high safeties, light boxes and various sub-package personnel with five or six defensive backs on the field. Additionally, Seattle varies its adjustments to motions to give the quarterbacks false keys on whether the coverage is man or zone based on defensive backs running across the formation. The Seahawks will occasionally run their defenders across the field, shadowing the motion man before dropping into zone coverage. They will also "rock-and-roll" defenders and meet the motion man on the other side in man coverage. The ever-changing tactics and intricate pre-snap disguises prevent the 49ers from exploiting the "tells" opponents give away with their alignments. With the Seahawks stockpiling interchangeable, versatile defensive backs, light boxes let the "Dark Side" use the speed and quickness of their hybrid defenders to contain the run while staying over the top of play-action passes. To accomplish this, the Seahawks rely heavily on their imposing defensive line to control the point of attack, with Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy II and Jarran Reed whipping blockers with their individual and collective athleticism and physicality. The trio's explosiveness clogs interior gaps and forces the 49ers to the edges against a group of fast defensive backs who excel at one-on-one tackles in space. As Macdonald preaches a "12 as one" mentality throughout his team, the Seahawks’ defense takes the mantra a step further by playing like an extra defender is on the field through their effort and physicality between the lines. Against the 49ers, the Seahawks rely on that energy and flawless execution to match up with an offensive juggernaut that features blue-chip players at every marquee position, including quarterback (Brock Purdy), running back (Christian McCaffrey), wide receiver (Mike Evans), tight end (George Kittle) and left tackle (Trent Williams). The 49ers’ offense has been rolling with its stars and veteran role players (see: Deebo Samuel and Kyle Juszczyk), making key plays in pivotal moments in a scheme that puts defenders in a mental and physical grinder. The complex shifts, motions, and condensed alignments force quick adjustments, while the downhill running game and "catch-and-run" aerial attack test every defender's open-field tackling skills and overall physicality. While Macdonald has typically gotten the upper hand against Shanahan — his defenses have held the Niners to less than 20 points in five of six meetings, including without a touchdown in their past two encounters — the first edition of their 2026 heavyweight battle will feature a few new tricks and tactics that keep the defensive guru running to the tablet to see how the offensive wizard is creating extra gaps in the running game and free access for his playmakers on passing plays. Given Shanahan’s attention to detail in crafting a game plan that meshes an ultra-physical rushing attack with a razzle-dazzle passing game, Macdonald will need to come up with another masterpiece to cool off the league’s hottest team. While there is no disputing George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb as the most dynamic pass-catching duo in football, No. 88 is making a run at the NFL’s top spot overall. He's strung together three 100-yard games, putting him atop the league's leaderboard in receptions (37) and receiving yards (498) through four games. He is also tied for second in big plays (receptions of 20-plus yards) with seven. Such numbers are even more impressive when considering Lamb is in a playmaker-by-committee situation with Pickens roaming the opposite side of the field. Lamb is coming off his best game yet, collecting 17 catches for 189 yards and a jaw-dropping go-ahead touchdown against the Texans that showcased his spectacular route-running skills. Although the three-time All-Pro is an unstoppable force on the perimeter, the Cowboys’ coaching staff has set him up for success by putting him in motion to give him free access to his routes. Per Next Gen Stats, Lamb has been targeted on 46.2% of his routes this season when put in motion, the fourth-highest rate among wide receivers with at least 10 such routes. Additionally, Lamb has generated the third-most yards after the catch (164), while tying for the fourth-most missed tackles among wide receivers. As a former punt returner with exceptional balance and body control, Lamb can elude and evade defenders in space, making him nearly impossible to contain in a scheme that keeps him moving from various alignments. With an emerging superstar on the opposite side commanding double coverage, the Cowboys have found creative ways to get Lamb his touches without disrupting the offensive flow. Moreover, they've put one of the league’s premier playmakers in a prime position to dominate the game and re-emerge as WR1 in a league loaded with blue-chip pass catchers. With Lamb on pace to notch his sixth straight 1,000-yard season and remaining a model of consistency on the perimeter, he might be primed to claim the crown as the league’s top playmaker. Bears head coach Ben Johnson has been celebrated as an offensive wizard since building Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions into a juggernaut during his tenure as OC, but the innovative playcaller deserves Bill Walsh-like treatment for transforming the Bears into a ground-and-pound machine that can light up scoreboards with or without Caleb Williams on the field. While Johnson is properly recognized for his work as a quarterback-friendly schemer who can help former No. 1 overall picks maximize their talent and potential, he has quietly crafted some of the league’s most explosive rushing attacks with creative playcalls and exotic formations. After terrorizing opponents with an uptempo, three-receiver offensive package in Detroit that featured multiple running backs and wide receivers shuttling in and out of the game, he has crafted an electric offense in the Windy City that use deception, misdirection and creative personnel deployment to befuddle defensive coordinators around the league. The Bears are among the league leaders in "12" (one running back, two tight ends and two wide receivers) and "13" (one running back, three tight ends and one wide receiver) usage, with tight ends Cole Kmet, Colston Loveland, and Sam Roush taking turns threatening the defense with their dual-threat capabilities as dynamic pass catchers and rugged in-line blockers. Although the Bears like to use the illusion of run-heavy formations to create explosive opportunities in the passing game, their heavy use of multi-tight end sets is part of a shell game that keeps defensive coordinators guessing when running backs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are on the field. The duo has helped the Bears lead the NFL in rushing (196.3 rush yards per game), while doing most of their damage from spread formations against light boxes. Despite featuring run-heavy formations prominently in their game plans, the explosive plays and spectacular runs are coming on wide-zone plays with one tight end or fewer on the field. Additionally, the Bears have used more under-center formations, particularly with Williams on the sidelines, to enhance their potent running game with a complementary bootleg and play-action package. With backside defenders unable to aggressively chase off-tackle runs to the opposite side of the field, Swift and Monangai have found plenty of creases and seams on impromptu cutback runs. As carefully scripted game plans mix under-center formations, multiple tight-end groupings and perimeter runs, the Bears’ superior talent and tactics are producing explosive runs and time-consuming drives. For a team that loves to dominate opponents with physicality and pizzazz, the Bears’ high-powered offense has old-school football fans singing Johnson’s praises as an offensive guru with a throwback call sheet. If you are scratching your head and wondering how the Jaguars have quickly emerged as title contenders under Liam Coen, you should take a long, hard look at a turnover-obsessed defense that specializes in stopping the run and taking the ball away. Since the start of the 2025 season, Jacksonville has forced 39 turnovers (tied with the Bears for the most during that time) while registering 13 multiple-takeaway games. Given the impact of turnovers on game outcomes, the Jags’ success in knocking the ball loose or picking off passes is directly tied to their ability to win. They led the league in points off takeaways in 2025 — 110 points off 31 turnovers — and they have continued to take advantage of the extra possessions and prime field position this season. Part of the Jaguars' success comes from their ability to stop the run and force opponents into long-yardage situations. Defensive linemen DaVon Hamilton, Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, along with linebackers Foye Oluokun and Ventrell Miller, clog the holes at the point of attack, creating more opportunities to attack the quarterback in obvious passing situations. Jacksonville is stout against the run because of its discipline and physicality in the trenches. The front line avoids "hero" plays that leave open gaps when defenders chase the ball instead of squatting in the hole and waiting for the runner to come back to them. As a result of its disciplined approach, Jacksonville has not allowed even a 75-yard rusher in 21 straight games — the fourth-longest streak in the Super Bowl era. Studying the All-22 coaches’ footage, the Jaguars’ eye discipline and violent hands show up in every clip, with 11 defenders attacking blockers on the way to the ball. The organized approach and "hustle-hard" mentality that demands defenders finish at the ball carrier create a swarming unit that rarely concedes big plays on the ground. In pass coverage, Jacksonville's reliance on zone-based concepts lets second- and third-level defenders keep their eyes on the quarterback, leading to more aggressive breaks on the ball. Additionally, the "vision-and-break" philosophy provides defenders with more chances to snag interceptions off tipped passes or overthrown balls in their areas. With ball-hawking defenders such as Travis Hunter, Jourdan Lewis, Antonio Johnson and Jarrian Jones able to convert errant passes into turnovers, the Jaguars have snagged six interceptions, including three in the red zone. Although the Jaguars’ vision-and-break tactics and "bend but don’t break" philosophy have frustrated some fans who prefer man coverage and a more aggressive approach, their disciplined defenders continue to come up with timely takeaways when the field shrinks and pressure from a persistent pass rush ramps up in pivotal moments. With the umbrella coverage also limiting the "explosives" (passes over 20 yards) that directly lead to points or scoring chances, the Jaguars have kept points off the board — they rank second in scoring defense (13.25 points per game) — and produced the turnovers needed to beat title contenders. As the defense continues to follow second-year defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile’s teachings, the Jaguars are quietly becoming a championship-caliber unit that can spark a title run.]]>

Chiefs: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)Bills: +405 (bet $10 to win $50.50 total)Ravens: +405 (bet $10 to win $50.50 total)Jaguars: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Bengals: +950 (bet $10 to win $105 total)Patriots: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)Broncos: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)Texans: +2800 (bet $10 to win $290 total)Colts: +3400 (bet $10 to win $350 total)Raiders: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total)Steelers: +4500 (bet $10 to win $460 total)Chargers: +7800 (bet $10 to win $790 total)Browns: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)Jets: +12000 (bet $10 to win $1,210 total)Titans: +20000 (bet $10 to win $2,010 total)Dolphins: +20000 (bet $10 to win $2,010 total) Here is what to know about this oddsboard: The Favorites: It's a familiar sight atop the AFC oddsboard: The Chiefs are back in front. Kansas City has overtaken Buffalo after a 4-0 start, moving from +440 to +400 to win the conference. Meanwhile, the Bills slipped from +350 to +405 after a home loss to the Patriots, leaving them tied with the Ravens just behind Kansas City. History on Their Side: Since Patrick Mahomes became the Chiefs full-time starter in 2018, Kansas City has started 4-0 five times, including this season. Each of the previous four starts ended with at least an AFC Championship Game appearance. The Chiefs reached that round in 2018, won the Super Bowl in 2019 and returned to the Super Bowl in both 2020 and 2024. Can Mahomes turn another unbeaten start into a deep postseason run? Cratering Contenders: The Chargers and Texans are both 0-4, leaving two expected contenders facing a steep climb just to reach the postseason. Only one team in NFL history has made the playoffs after starting 0-4: the 1992 San Diego Chargers, who finished 11-5 and won the AFC West. This year's Chargers have fallen from +4500 to +7800 to win the AFC, while Houston has dropped from +2000 to +2800. Before either can think about a conference title, they'll need to find their first win. Rams: +350 (bet $10 to win $45 total)49ers: +360 (bet $10 to win $46 total)Seahawks: +420 (bet $10 to win $52 total)Bears: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)Vikings: +1025 (bet $10 to win $112.50 total)Cowboys: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total)Lions: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)Eagles: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)Panthers: +3200 (bet $10 to win $330 total)Packers: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total)Falcons: +3800 (bet $10 to win $390 total)Saints: +4600 (bet $10 to win $470 total)Giants: +7600 (bet $10 to win $770 total)Commanders: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)Buccaneers: +14500 (bet $10 to win $1,460 total)Cardinals: +20000 (bet $10 to win $2,010 total) Here is what to know about this oddsboard: The Favorites: The Rams stand alone atop the NFC oddsboard at +350 after a comeback that could change the course of their season. According to Next Gen Stats, their win probability fell to 3.2% with just over eight minutes left against Philadelphia. But after a goal-line stop while trailing by 10 with 7:26 remaining, Los Angeles scored 14 unanswered points to steal a 24-20 win. It was just the Rams second win over the Eagles in the last 20 years and improved Sean McVay to 2-6 against Philadelphia. Minutes away from a 1-3 start, the Rams instead reached 2-2 — a result that could help get them back on track toward their preseason expectations. History Favors the 49ers: San Francisco is right behind Los Angeles at +360 after starting 4-0. In each of their four previous seasons with a 4-0 start, the 49ers reached at least the NFC Championship Game. They won the Super Bowl in 1984, reached the conference title game in 1990 and made Super Bowl appearances in 2019 and 2023. This year's team is getting plenty from its veterans, with an NFL-record 11 touchdown catches by players age 30 or older through four games. No team in the league is off to a better start than San Fran. Cratering Contenders: The Packers picked up a win in Week 4, but it did little to restore confidence. Green Bay barely escaped against a Tampa Bay team that fell to 0-4 while starting an undrafted rookie quarterback. The Packers are now 2-2, but their conference title odds have lengthened from +3000 to +3500 after opening the season at +900. Philadelphia also took a hit after letting its lead against the Rams slip away, falling from +920 to +1800 to win the NFC.]]>

That team was the 1992 San Diego Chargers, who flipped that start into an 11-5 regular-season record. Five teams are winless through four weeks this season: Miami, Tennessee, Houston, Tampa Bay and the Los Angeles Chargers. Each is heavily favored to miss the postseason but will try to make history in 2026. Biggest Surprises: The Packers and Chargers opened the year at +122 and +140 to miss the playoffs, respectively. However, Green Bay is 2-2 and now -330 to miss the postseason, and the aforementioned Chargers have yet to earn a win and sit at -1200 to miss the postseason. However, next to the Chargers, arguably the biggest surprise so far this season is the Houston Texans. They opened the year at +150 to miss the playoffs, but now they sit at -340. Last season, the Texans went 12-5 and had the best defense in the NFL. They eventually fell to the Patriots in the AFC divisional round, but were a team that many thought could challenge for the AFC crown in 2026. Shockingly, through four games, they are allowing 27.3 points per game, the sixth-highest mark in the league, alongside 260 passing yards per game, the fifth-most in the NFL. It should be pointed out that Houston's four losses have come by a combined 25 points, including a 5-point loss to Buffalo, a 2-point loss to Indianapolis and 4-point loss to Dallas.]]>

				    <![CDATA[Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, California) — Kyle Shanahan needed another explosive playmaker with receivers Ricky Pearsall, Christian Kirk and DeMarcus Robinson all on the injured reserve list. Deebo Samuel needed a place to show the league he could still play. In a relationship where both sides needed each other, Samuel signed a one-year, $4.1 million deal in August to reunite with San Francisco’s head coach. And so far, things have worked out in Samuel’s second chapter with the team. Samuel finished with 70 scrimmage yards and two scores in a solid victory over the Denver Broncos last week, helping the San Francisco 49ers remain one of three undefeated NFL teams. "I didn’t draw it up no kind of way," Samuel responded when asked about the symmetry of being back in San Francisco on a Super Bowl contender. "But I’m going to enjoy 4-0 for sure and get ready for next week." Speaking of next week, the 49ers face the defending champions Seattle Seahawks (3-1) on the road on Sunday in a battle for the top spot in the NFC West. The last time these two teams played, Seattle embarrassed San Francisco, 41-6, in the divisional round of the playoffs. Two weeks prior, the 49ers lost to the Seahawks, 13-3, in a battle that determined the NFC West winner. But Samuel was with the Washington Commanders at that time and didn’t play in either game. Now that he's back in San Francisco, Samuel could make a major impact in the rivalry matchup. He has 1,092 scrimmage yards and eight total touchdowns in 10 career games against Seattle, including the playoffs. The 49ers are 6-4 against the Seahawks in games Samuel plays. Samuel has also served as San Francisco’s kick returner since coming back to the team, and has a combined 490 yards through four games, No. 10 in the league. San Francisco left tackle Trent Williams predicted Samuel would shine before the season started. "When we signed Deebo, I said we’re probably going to get the best Deebo we’ve seen," Williams said at his locker. "And he’s been making my words true. I’m really proud of him. We anticipated this. We knew Deebo was coming back with a vengeance. I’m just really happy for him. And why did Williams believe San Francisco would get the best version of Samuel? "From me knowing him as well as I do, I think this offseason was probably the first time in his career that he was doubted," Williams said when I asked him in the locker room. "He’s always been supremely talented. He’s always been a playmaker. But you know, this league turns on you quick. And I think him having to feel that doubt for the first time, it lit a fire under him." Another person who thought Samuel would play well in his return was his private receiver coach, Brandon White, founder of Receiver Factory. Based in Florida, White has helped train Samuel in the offseason during his eight-year NFL career. White has also worked with some of the top receivers in the NFL, including Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. "He’s passionate and he cares," White told me when I asked about Samuel’s mindset going into the season, having to wait for the right team. "Deebo wants to ball. He wants to make plays. That’s just fuel for a guy like that. And you can see he was honed in. It’s not like he didn’t think he was going to get a shot again, but the shot he got and the way he got it and the time it took, there had to be something building up the entire time." White told me he trained Samuel in three different stints in Arizona during the offseason, working on his short-area quickness and route running to prepare the South Carolina product for the season. He said that Samuel’s daily regimen in Arizona included strength and agility training, sprint work, boxing workouts and field work with White, followed by a timed mile run. Samuel, now 30, went through that regimen to show the league he could still play after spending a season with the Commanders and not playing to his full potential. "We were on a mission," White told me. "He was focused. Our whole thing when we get together is we make sure he’s like a Swiss Army knife and everything’s popping. He knows how to run routes. He knows how to get open. He understands how to make plays in space. "We just wanted to make sure going into the season he’s as quick and as sharp as possible. We were really working on short-area quickness, fast twitch and then a lot of coming out of breaks." Samuel’s work he put in during the offseason has shown. He has 185 receiving yards on 14 catches with three receiving touchdowns through the first four games. And he has another 74 rushing yards on seven carries, averaging 9.4 per carry. "I know when he’s got the ball in his hand, I do want to make an extra block or run down the field and chase the ball because you never know when he’s going to break a tackle and get free," 49ers offensive lineman Colton McKivitz told me. "You can have that extra block to keep a guy off him. He just has that ‘It’ factor." During the height of Samuel’s time with San Francisco in 2021, he finished with 1,405 receiving yards and 365 rushing yards, earning the nickname "wide back." But San Francisco’s offense runs through Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle now, so those days aren’t returning. Instead, Samuel serves as a key gadget player to jump-start San Francisco’s offense when they need a big play in critical moments of the game. "Game-time Deebo is something else," San Francisco quarterback Mac Jones told me. "He brings an extra gear. He came here after training camp, so I didn’t get a lot of reps with him. But I’ve always been a fan. He puts a lot of really good stuff on tape because he plays with a lot of passion. And you can feel him. "They used him differently in ’23 and ’24 than they’re doing now. He’s returning kicks, which he didn’t do before. And they’re using him in more gadget stuff. A lot of motion. If you checked his yardage stuff, I bet he ran the most out of anyone today. Kyle does a good job of scheming him up, and that creates good matchups for other people. He’s like that pawn you have on a chess board who’s always available." Speaking of Shanahan, he passed one of the cornerstones of the West Coast offense, Hall of Famer Bill Walsh, for the most games coached in 49ers' history (167), an impressive feat for a head coach at 46 years old. The West Coast offense never really went away, but the emphasis on zone reads and quarterbacks in shotgun had become the dominant way to move the chains in modern football.  But over the past handful of years, with defenses led by gurus like Mike Macdonald and Vic Fangio leaning on two-high shells to keep explosives to a minimum, more teams are using quarterbacks under center to ignite the run and play-action game against lighter boxes. Per Next Gen Stats, 39.5% of snaps on offense were taken under center so far this season, the highest usage in the last decade. Six teams in the top half of the league operating under center through the first four weeks are out West, including the Raiders (125 snaps), 49ers (124), Seahawks (123), Cardinals (118), Rams (117) and Chiefs (100). With West Coast offense principles being used more through the first four weeks of the season, I decided to hit up former NFL and college offensive guru Norm Chow to try and find out why. Chow said he first learned the West Coast offense as an assistant at BYU from former San Francisco quarterback and coach Doug Scovil. Also serving on BYU’s staff during Chow’s 26 years coaching there were West Coast offense masterminds Mike Holmgren and Andy Reid. Chow said he’s not surprised to see a return to more West Coast principles, including under center runs and play-action passes. "Football is cyclical," Chow told me. "Everyone thinks this RPO (run-pass option) stuff is new, but all it is the Wishbone triple option stuff dressed up from before. … But I think that’s why the NFL never left (the West Coast offense). If you drop back and throw all the time, they can cover that. And if you run it all the time, they can cover that. "The deception comes from under center with the run, as opposed to the shotgun." Cardinals offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, whose father Paul Hackett was one of the first offensive coordinators to teach the West Coast offense, said the core philosophies in quarterback footwork have never left the game. "Whenever we look at the West Coast offense, it’s from how you coach the quarterback — from progressions, to footwork to timing," Hackett told me. "The actual West Coast, from when Bill Walsh did it and my dad and those guys, has gone the way of the white buffalo. "So, we’ve kind of adapted with everything that we’ve done to teach the quarterback the same way we did in the West Coast, but to different kinds of plays and variations of the plays that we have in the West Coast. It’s a collaboration of all those things, while still bringing along those base principles." Because of the timing and rhythm of the West Coast offense, teams that can create disruption in the early downs are having the most success. Just look at Minnesota defensive coordinator Brian Flories. The Vikings lead the league in scoring defense (12.8 per game) and blitz percentage (70.5%). Hall of Famer Michael Haynes said his Raiders defense, known for playing disruptive, sticky bump-and-run coverage, was effective against the West Coast scheme because of their ability to apply pressure with great pass rushers like fellow Hall of Famer Howie Long and Greg Townsend up front and force the ball out quickly. "If those quarterbacks have all day to throw it where they want to throw it, it’s going to be a tough day," Haynes told me. "A great pass rush always helps the DBs. Most teams were playing zone and trying to disguise their man-to-man coverages from off [coverage]. And we didn’t. We didn’t care that you knew we were coming, because we had a great pass rush." Kansas City found the blindside protector for the most accomplished quarterback currently playing at the team’s rookie minicamp a week after the draft. Khalil Benson, who wasn't selected in April's draft after helping the Indiana Hoosiers win the national championship, showed up as one of over 75 invited, undrafted rookies to the camp. He impressed coaches and scouts enough there to earn a spot on the 90-man roster. From there, Benson worked his way up the depth chart during offseason work, wrestling the starting right tackle job from Jaylon Moore and eventually shifting over to left tackle — which he hadn’t played since high school — to replace an injured Josh Simmons (back) to start the regular season. Benson hasn’t given up the starting job since, earning Offensive Rookie of the Month for September. Benson has allowed nine quarterback pressures and one sack in 118 pass block snaps, per Next Gen Stat. Among all rookies with at least 15 pass block snaps, Benson has the second-highest percentage of one-on-one matchups (84.9%). He has contributed to a Kansas City offense that has only allowed six sacks in 2026, tied for the fifth-fewest in the league. "He’s a professional player," Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy said about Benson. "There’s some things he can do that others cannot do. That’s why he’s here. We feel that we found a unique player that can basically upgrade the depth in our O-line room." Chris Brainard of APE Fitness and Performance in Texas helped prepare Benson for his pro day. Because Benson wasn't invited to the combine, he had extra time to train before the April workout. At 6-foot-6 and 321 pounds, Brainard said Benson set a personal best in his 40-yard time (5.08) and bench press (23 reps at 225 pounds). "The guy handled the entire process as a professional," Brainard told me. "That was cool to see, and we’re seeing those benefits pay off now. Just coming in, he’s got the size and he’s got the motor. He just needed things to kind of fall in place for him." Former NFL offensive lineman Chris Chester also worked with Benson on offensive line training in the lead-up to the draft. As Brainard stated, Chester emphasized Benson’s professionalism and ability to quickly pick up concepts. With the dearth of quality offensive lineman, Chester said he was surprised Benson didn’t get drafted. "I get it, there’s a lot of voices during the draft process and narratives get made," Chester told me. "I was surprised he didn’t get drafted, but you’ve got to run your own race. "He’s strong — that’s one of the things that kind of jumped out — once he got his hands on you, it was kind of wrap. It was a lot of one-on-one with me and him, and I’m doing some of the looks. I’m not as young as I used to be, and he was kind of throwing me around. So, I got to experience it firsthand. He’s heavy-handed, got a good strike and hits you like a hammer. And I can’t say enough about his positive attitude. And he absorbed information well." 5. Los Angeles Rams After a tough stretch to open the season, the Rams get three of the next four games at home. It starts with the Buffalo Bills on Monday night as they look to improve their 2-2 record. 4. Las Vegas Raiders The schedule heats up for the Silver and Black, who face the Patriots, Bills and Rams over the next three. But they might have legitimized their 3-0 record with their showing against the Chiefs, climbing six spots in our Ralph Vacchiano's power rankings despite the loss. 3. Seattle Seahawks Defense still leads the way in Seattle, with the Seahawks holding teams to a league-best 246.8 yards a game. They also forced Justin Herbert to turn the ball over three times in their win over the Chargers on Sunday. 2. Kansas City Chiefs The Chiefs are already combing the waiver wire due to the annual rash of injuries at wide receiver. Will Tyreek Hill be back on the roster when they return from their Week 5 bye? 1. San Francisco 49ers The 49ers started 4-0 for the third time since 2019 and the seventh in team history, as quarterback Brock Purdy has emerged as an early MVP frontrunner. "Ribs are different. No matter how bad you want to go, it's usually too painful. The way he was Friday, just being able to go through the walk-through, and I know how much pain he was in, but he never grimaced, never changed his stride or anything, how he’s carrying himself. It was really, really impressive today what he did." – San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan on Mike Evans playing through injured ribs but leading the team with five receptions for 76 yards.]]>

				    <![CDATA[Odell Beckham Jr. has found a new home. The Minnesota Vikings have signed the 33-year-old wide receiver and three-time Pro Bowler to their practice squad, the team announced on Wednesday morning. Beckham was released by the New York Giants last week. The veteran receiver appeared in each of the Giants' first three games, but he registered just one target. Minnesota signing Beckham comes in the wake of superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson missing the team's Week 4 win over the Miami Dolphins due to an ankle sprain and potentially missing its Week 5 road tilt against the New Orleans Saints (Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX). Should Beckham be elevated to Minnesota's active roster, the Vikings would mark the sixth team he plays for. Beckham, a Pro Bowler from 2014-16, had two stints with the Giants (2014-18 and 2026), while spending two-plus years with the Cleveland Browns (2019-21), playing the second half of the 2021 season with the Los Angeles Rams — who won the Super Bowl later that year — and having one-year stints with the Baltimore Ravens (2023) and Miami Dolphins (2024). He missed the 2022 season due to a torn ACL and wasn't on an NFL roster in 2025. The Vikings are 4-0 and one of just three undefeated teams in the NFL. With that said, their offense has been stuck in the mud, as the Vikings are last in the NFL in passing yards (156.0 per game), 31st in total yards (262.8 per game), 18th in points (21.5 per game) and 16th in points (106.8 per game). Moreover, Minnesota has just four passing touchdowns, three of them coming from backup quarterback Carson Wentz and one from starter Kyler Murray; Wentz started for the Vikings in Week 2 in place of Murray, who suffered a concussion in Week 1, and played the majority of the team's Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers.]]>

				    <![CDATA[A week ago, Colin Cowherd said the Buffalo Bills were the best team in football. Now, they're not even in his top five after a sloppy performance in a loss to the New England Patriots. His latest Herd Hierarchy features a new team at No. 1, a five-spot drop for Buffalo and three fresh additions to the top 10: the Dallas Cowboys, the Atlanta Falcons and the Indianapolis Colts, a team Cowherd admits he likes even if nobody else does. The Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders all fell out of the rankings, and the 4-0 Minnesota Vikings were left out entirely. Here are Cowherd's Week 4 Herd Hierarchy rankings: Cowherd's thoughts: Listen, I don't like their coaching staff, but I'll put the Dallas Cowboys in there. They gave up 7.6 yards per play to Houston, but I'll say this: Dak Prescott's pass protection, Javonte Williams, CeeDee Lamb. When Dak is targeting CeeDee Lamb this year, he completes 80% of his throws with a 141 passer rating. So it's a very lopsided football team. They don't make enough stops. They get gashed. But just based on this offense — and it is an offensive league — I'm going to put Dallas at No. 10. Cowherd's thoughts: Nobody likes Indianapolis. I like Indianapolis. They got gashed in their opener against the Ravens, and then they faced the new offense of the Chiefs, so the stats make you think they're a bad team. But their defense is getting better. I get Tyler Warren, I get Jonathan Taylor. Now, Daniel Jones has seven giveaways. That's always going to be a problem. It's why they're not a high-end playoff team. But I like the roster with Shane Steichen and Daniel Jones starting. They're averaging 28 points a game. I like the composition of their roster. That Ravens game is still screwing up all their stats. They look like the worst defense ever. I don't think they are. I think they're getting better. I have the Colts at nine. Cowherd's thoughts: I don't think the Falcons are a mirage. Bijan Robinson is arguably the best running back in the game. Drake London's a top-five or six receiver. Kevin Stefanski is a brilliant offensive guy. The Falcons have had an above-average offensive line for years. They finally have a conductor in Stefanski, and Michael Penix. Now, are they too reliant on Bijan Robinson? Yeah, he's 66% of the offense, but it's an offensive league. The pass protection is good. You've got a star running back and a star wideout. Are they average defensively? Yeah, but unlike Dallas, I like the head coach. The Falcons are not a mirage. I'm happy for Penix in Atlanta. I have them at No. 8. Cowherd's thoughts: The stats make you think they're undefeated. They're No. 2 in total offense, but only 18th in scoring. Some of that is, I think, Matthew Stafford can be a little streaky. He doesn't give you a lot of juice, energy or mobility. If you get into a third-and-long, every defensive back and every edge rusher knows where he's going to be seven steps later. They're still the favorites to win the Super Bowl, although I have them seventh-best. The offense leads the NFL with four games of over 400 yards. Again, the stats are amazing. The defense has allowed an NFL-low five plays of over 20 yards. So what's wrong? I think their offense can stall out because you get no mobility at quarterback… They're one of the only teams with a pure pocket quarterback, and sometimes their offense goes through real quarter-to-quarter-and-a-half-long lulls. I have the Rams at seven. Cowherd's thoughts: The Bills have gotten really, really sloppy, and two of their three wins have come against the 0-4 Chargers and the 0-4 Texans. So I think the cynicism is warranted. They're averaging 32 points a game, so you think, "Oh, this is beautiful." But do they need guardrails? Do they miss Sean McDermott's conservative play-calling? They've allowed 29-plus points in three of their four games. Anybody who's a critic of them, you're winning right now. They're sloppy with an offensive head coach, and the defense doesn't do much on the back end. I have them at No. 6. Cowherd's thoughts: I trust Ben Johnson and the Bears. I also think the Bears are playing better than their personnel defensively. And here's the thing about the Bears: Their time of possession is absolutely insane. They've had the ball 53 more minutes than their opponents this season. They're just dominating time of possession. That's why the Bears' defense, to me, is overachieving. It's incredibly well-rested. It's mostly healthy. They've drafted a couple of guys who are making small impacts. I think Chicago is an example of great coaching and complementary football hiding what could be an average defense if it were on the field a lot. Cowherd's thoughts: Do I trust them in the playoffs? Well, they lead the NFL in turnover differential and are second in point differential. This is all about a young, talented quarterback finally getting his conductor, Liam Coen. I'll say this about their defense: They've held opponents to 20 points or fewer in all four games, and for a warm-weather team, they're a physical football team. Trevor Lawrence is 9-1 in his last 10 starts. He used to put the ball on the carpet more. He was a little loose. He was a little bit of what Josh Allen's been the last couple of weeks: no guardrails. Liam Coen has provided those. Travis Hunter, by the way, is on the right side of the ball. We always said you can't show up twice a week to a wide receiver meeting and be effective. Put him on defense. Let him return kicks. The kid's one of the top 10 athletes in the NFL. The Jags have figured out how to use Travis Hunter. I have them at four. Cowherd's thoughts: Like I said about Atlanta, it's not a mirage. Kansas City is very, very good. They're 2-0 on the road, and both sides of the ball are extremely well-coached. Now they've got some wide receiver injuries with Rashee Rice and (Tyquan) Thornton. So do you do something at the trade deadline? Do you bring back Tyreek Hill? You worry a little bit about that, but they've had wide receiver injury issues for years. They've gone three straight games without a sack. Do they address that? Can they at the trade deadline? Their hole is that they don't put consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks. That's why it feels like a guy like Daniel Jones can light them up. But I have them at three. Cowherd's thoughts: They're like last year. Turnovers, 14 penalties and 150 penalty yards against the Chargers, but they find a way to win. That's kind of what Seattle is. They're very young, and they can be a little mistake-prone at quarterback or with penalties. But man, turn the sound down. Depth, speed, twitchiness. They've scored 30-plus points in three straight games, and they allow four yards per play. It just looks different. Unlike the Texans, whose defense has vanished, Seattle's defense looks as good as it did last year. Cowherd's thoughts: I don't know how long it lasts, but right now, the 49ers have 16 offensive touchdowns, with three-plus in every game. Advanced metrics say Brock Purdy's the best quarterback ever. That may change after a trip to the Pacific Northwest. Now again, Kyle Juszczyk is banged up. You cross your fingers. It's an older roster, but when healthy, George Kittle and Fred Warner are not only great players, they're great leaders. Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Kyle Shanahan, Purdy. This may be one of the best locker rooms in the league in terms of player leadership.]]>

				    <![CDATA[Superdome (New Orleans) — True rivalry knows no exceptions. This was to be a special night here, a prime-time celebration of the 20th anniversary of the New Orleans Saints' 2006 "Domecoming" and their first game back after a year away from home due to the devastating damage of Hurricane Katrina. The Saints brought back the same national anthem singer they had in that first game back 20 years ago, and as she sang, when the video boards showed Drew Brees, the crowd cheered as loud as you can imagine in the middle of a live national anthem. But this was also a Saints-Falcons game. On a day that was officially National Be Nice Day, Atlanta sought an opportunity to silence the home crowd, and Bijan Robinson made good on that on the game's third play, breaking loose for a 59-yard touchdown on the way to a 45-24 rout of the Saints. "We've been talking about that ... the offense, we've got to do the best job we can to silence them early," Robinson said after the game. "To make that pin drop happen in the first quarter ... after that third play, it was pretty special. We went back to the sideline and said, 'That's what we talked about,' made sure we executed the right way so the crowd doesn't become an issue for us." They didn't let up, and it was 24-7 by halftime, and a Saints team that has fought back from early deficits this season never got back in the game. "That's the definition of starting fast," safety Jessie Bates told me. "Those guys came out and were the most physical team on the field. They set the tone for us, and it was easy for our defense to go out there and keep the momentum going for our team. We knew this was a rivalry game, knew what it was about. Obviously, it's heartfelt for what this means to them, but we've got to take care of business. "We want to show the world who we can be." With quarterback injuries, the Falcons had opened the year 0-2, but with the healthy return of Michael Penix Jr., they have dominated in two straight night road games, first in a 35-14 win over the Packers last Thursday, then a more resounding win Monday night. By the end, it was the most points Atlanta had scored in more than a decade, and matched the second-most it had ever scored against the Saints in 114 meetings. "Once you're in that position, you've got to, as we say, keep your foot on the neck," guard Matthew Bergeron told me. The outcome was lopsided enough that Saints fans were leaving in droves as the fourth quarter started, so the ones still around when the game ended were mostly wearing Falcons red. When I asked Falcons wide receiver Drake London about the final score, he said he didn't mind at all. And when I asked London what comes to mind when he thinks of the Superdome, he recalled the 2023 season finale, when the Saints were up 41-17 and backup quarterback Jameis Winston opted not to take a knee, but hand off to Jamaal Williams for another touchdown with 1:10 left. "I just didn't forget about Jameis Winston and how he was supposed to take a knee when we were here and they wanted to drive it in," London told me. "If we can run the score up, then why not?" The Falcons catch a break not having to face Lamar Jackson as they host the Ravens on Sunday night, and a win there would keep them with the Carolina Panthers as the teams to beat. The Panthers have the head-to-head tiebreaker from their Week 2 rout, and the Falcons can't erase that until the two teams play again in Week 18. The Saints are only one game back in the NFC South race, but they play host to arguably the league's top defense in the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Not only will the Saints have the challenge of trying to score on the elite unit, but their defense will have to keep Minnesota in check. New Orleans is giving up 32 points per game, the most in the NFL, so it won't be easy for the Saints to overcome that and avoid a 1-4 start. A lot went wrong for New Orleans on Monday night, but few things will turn a loud home crowd against you like a less-than-bold call. The Saints were down 17 in the third quarter and had a fourth-and-3 at the Falcons' 8-yard line, but Saints coach Kellen Moore took the lesser option, choosing a field goal and a 24-10 deficit. The crowd booed, and the Saints defense immediately gave up a 74-yard touchdown drive, keeping the Saints at a safe distance the rest of the way. "Long drive, we had a little bit of a missed opportunity on third down," Moore said after the game. "It got it to at least a 14-point game, get the points and then, if we could make a stop there, then we could go. We'd obviously have to be really aggressive the rest of the way out. I know it felt like getting some points there got us back to a two-score game. ... Unfortunately, they went back and scored." The Saints have a top-five red zone offense this season and have been perfect in goal-to-go situations, and going for it was a chance to bring an electric crowd back into the game. Instead, it turned fans who were already disappointed into anger against their own team. What was the best highlight-reel game-winning catch by a player you probably didn't know? That has to be Efton Chism, the second-year New England Patriots receiver who made a wild one-handed touchdown grab on a throw from Drake Maye to give his team the lead with 1:50 left in their win over the Buffalo Bills. Aaron Best, his coach at Eastern Washington, has come to expect ridiculous catches like that from Chism, who caught 120 passes in 2024 for EWU before making the Patriots' roster as an undrafted rookie. "It's crazy to think everybody gets to witness what we already knew," Best told me. "You almost assume and expect those higher-level catches. His highlight reel is different from everybody else's highlight reel." Chism's hardly the first EWU alum to make a splash as an NFL receiver. Cooper Kupp and Kendrick Bourne have done that already, with Chism only furthering the Eagles' legacy. Best said that Chism is what they call an EKG, as in an "Eastern kind of guy," as 10 current players and coaches texted him about Chism's catch before he actually got to see it. It might be the catch of the year in the NFL four weeks in, but Best said Chism has made impossible catches before, just not while playing for a returning Super Bowl team. "We're playing at Southeastern Louisiana a couple years ago, the throw is high and damn near uncatchable for 99.9% of the wide receiver clientele," he said. "He elevates, gets undercut, one-handed catch, comes down with it and moves the sticks. We probably didn't even gasp. Probably said, 'That's Ef. What's the first-down call?' Anybody else, we'd be like 'Hell, yeah.' He still needs a standing ovation for those kinds of catches." Bills defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson took a shot at Chism in postgame, saying he was an "elevated" practice squad player who made a play, but "probably won’t hear from him again. Respectfully. I say that with a lot of confidence." However, Chism has been on the Patriots' active roster all season long. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel had his player's back, referencing that Gardner-Johnson has played for "eight teams in four years" in an interview with WEEI in Boston. With veteran receiver Mack Hollins dealing with a calf injury and A.J. Brown still on injured reserve, Chism should have a chance for more impact plays moving forward. And if you want to look ahead, the Patriots host the Bills and Gardner-Johnson on Dec. 6. The downside of a 17-game season is that the math is harder in projecting what a player is on pace for. We can't say "quarter pole" anymore, and be reminded that the quarter pole indicates a quarter is remaining. But four games in, you can get a feel for whether any running backs or receivers have a shot at 2,000 yards. Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III is already at 537 yards, the best four-game total in 23 years, putting him on pace for an NFL-record 2,282 yards. Walker already has two runs of 60-plus yards, and Jonathan Taylor led the NFL with three of those in all of last season. Robinson is also on track for over 2,000 yards after Monday's performance (2,100). There's never been a 2,000-yard receiving season, though someone always seems to jump out to a promising start. Dallas Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb and Seattle Seahawks star Jaxson Smith-Njigba are on pace for 2,117 and 2,044 yards, respectively. Saints standout Chris Olave joined the list on Monday night as he's now on pace for 2,087 yards. But Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua had more yards after four games in 2025 and 2023 before trailing off in both seasons. It should be noted, though, that Nacua missed time last season following his hot four-game start.]]>

				    <![CDATA[Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson announced his retirement Tuesday, ending a 14-season career spent entirely with the team. In a letter posted on X, Johnson, 36, said his family priorities had changed and that "it is critical that I focus on my mental health." "I deeply wanted to gut it out for one more year; to take the field with my brothers for one last season," Johnson wrote. "But after a lot of reflection, I've realized that my personal and family priorities in my life have changed. Right now, it is critical that I focus on my mental health. I owe it to my teammates, coaches, the organization and the fans to have my head and heart 100 percent in the game. And right now my heart is telling me that it's time to say goodbye to football." The announcement came two days after Johnson was a surprise inactive for personal reasons in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He had said in August that 2026 would likely be his final season, but he started in each of the Eagles' first three games. He allowed just two pressures and zero sacks in those games, per Pro Football Focus. Johnson, who was taken with the fourth overall pick out of Oklahoma in the 2013 NFL Draft, was one of the top offensive tackles of his generation. He helped the Eagles win two Super Bowls (LII, LIX), earning six Pro Bowl nods and five AP All-Pro selections. "Philadelphia will always be home," he wrote, "and I will forever be an Eagle." Johnson missed seven games last season due to a foot sprain, but didn't allow a sack and surrendered just seven pressures, according to PFF. A year prior, Johnson gave up just one sack over 19 games in Philadelphia's run to a Super Bowl title. As Philadelphia faces the tall task of replacing Johnson, the 2-2 Eagles are dealing with a handful of injuries and concerns over their on-field performance. Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for less than 100 yards in the loss to the Rams, as wide receiver DeVonta Smith missed the game due to a hamstring injury. Running back Saquon Barkley departed the game with a hamstring injury as well, and is reportedly week-to-week. This is a developing story and will be updated.]]>

				    <![CDATA[The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has a new home, but injury is going to take a toll on his chances of repeating. Myles Garrett won the AP NFL DPOY award unanimously in 2025, receiving all 50 first-place votes after breaking the single-season sack record with 23 sacks. That was the second DPOY win of his career, and he trails only Lawrence Taylor, J.J. Watt and Aaron Donald for the most DPOY awards in NFL history, with each of those names nabbing the award three times. Both Watt and Donald won three in the span of four years, and while Garrett opened the year favored to do just that, a knee injury has sidelined him for now. Let’s take a look at the odds to win the 2026 NFL Defensive Player of the Year at FanDuel Sportsbook as of Oct. 6. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. What To Know: Anderson is the star of a vaunted Houston defense, one that was best in the league last year. Through four games in 2026, Anderson has recorded 23 total tackles (13 solo), 4.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss. Since Myles Garrett's injury, he's been the new favorite in this spot. What To Know: Watt opened the season with two sacks, four tackles, three tackles for loss and two QB hits in the Steelers’ win over the Falcons. He added 1.5 sacks, another tackle for loss and two more QB hits in Week 2. That start moved the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year’s odds to +550 from +1100. But after a somewhat quiet Week 3 where he assisted on one tackle, his odds moved back to +1100. Watt bounced back in Week 4 with four solo tackles, a sack and a stuff. What To Know: Hutchinson is finding his way to the opposing quarterback … often. He has 3.5 sacks through four weeks. He also has three tackles for loss. However, the Lions have given up 127 total points so far this season. What To Know: So far this season, Greg Rosseau has tallied 19 total tackles (14 solo), eight tackles for loss, six sacks and has forced three fumbles. In the Bills' Week 4, 29-26 loss to New England, he had two solo tackles and assisted on two others. What To Know: Fred Warner has 40 total tackles and 16 solo in 2026. His most impressive game so far was in the 49ers' Week 3 win over Arizona. In that game, he had 17 total tackles and seven solo. Warner has been named to the Pro Bowl four times in his career.]]>

It’s almost basketball season in Lexington, as Kentucky fans eagerly await a chance to end their decade-plus-long drought of not reaching the Final Four. But as they wait for the ball to be tipped-off on the hardwood, something interesting has emerged on the gridiron. The Kentucky football team is 4-1 and the Wildcats are coming off an exciting comeback victory at South Carolina, erasing a 17-0 deficit to win in overtime. In comes an LSU team that is also 4-1, but quarterback Sam Leavitt has struggled at times, including in a loss at Ole Miss in LSU’s only road game this season. In that game, Leavitt threw for just 158 yards and an interception against an Ole Miss defense that got torched for 52 points the following week. Kentucky has an exciting offense, a rising star at head coach in former Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein, as well as home-field advantage. The Wildcats' only loss was to unbeaten Alabama, a game they led at halftime and a result that looks more forgivable as Alabama continues to steamroll everyone on its schedule. LSU is unproven on the road and Kentucky is a very dangerous underdog. Getting nearly 3-to-1 on the moneyline is a price I like. The NFC East appears to be as wide open as ever. The favorite and back-to-back division champion Eagles have lost two games in a row, are decimated by injuries and have an offense with serious question marks. The Cowboys are 2-2 but have major issues on defense. The winner of this classic rivalry game is squarely in the mix in the NFC East and, in the Giants’ case, would be 4-1 with a win. The Commanders being favored here is the assumption that talented (but often injured) quarterback Jayden Daniels will make his return after dislocating his elbow in Week 2. But, as we know, assumptions can be dangerous when it comes to the NFL. Daniels might return, but how confident can we be that he’s 100 percent healthy or that he’ll stay healthy for the entirety of the game given his recent track record of getting hurt? Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota left last week’s game with an injury, meaning the fragile Daniels is the only thing keeping Washington from having to play third-stringer Athan Kaliakmanis under center. The Giants have admittedly benefited from a soft schedule, but the Commanders' defense ranks 30th in the league, allowing 30.5 points per game. And betting on the health of Daniels is a risky bet to make. I’ll go with the G-Men to continue their hot start.]]>
