5 momentous plays in week 6: 2 killer Jags penalties proved costly in loss to Texans
In Week 5, the Jacksonville Jaguars were beneficiaries — and took advantage — of the Philadelphia Eagles' catastrophic late mistakes at Tottenham Hotspur. On Sunday, on the other side of London, their luck changed with one bad-luck penalty … but they had no one to blame but themselves on another critical flag. Fumbles were also at the forefront of Sunday's big momentum swings around the rest of the NFL, with three significant ones highlighted on our list.
Bills hang on to top feisty Raiders as Josh Allen out-dueled Kirk Cousins
Josh Allen led two key second-half touchdown drives as the Bills held off a scrappy Raiders team Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, winning 33-30. The Bills were mostly in control after the Raiders briefly led early, but they had to grind out the victory with several late conversions. Matt Gay's fourth field goal of the game gave them a 10-point lead with 1:56 remaining, but they still had a sweat out a late Kirk Cousins TD and an onsides kick. The Bills recovered and hung on to win. It wasn't easy.
After Chris Ballard's firing, Colts find themselves staring at a major overhaul Original
Even if you question what good firing a general manager during the season does, it wasn't a major surprise when the Indianapolis Colts fired GM Chris Ballard on Monday. The Colts have made the playoffs once since 2018 and have no playoff wins since then. Their best record since 2021 is 9-8, and they've gone 8-9 in each of the two seasons. This season they sit at 2-4, with a loss to the previously winless Titans on Sunday and victories over one- and two-win teams.

Kirk Cousins was great, but Josh Allen and the Bills were just a little better.

The Baltimore Ravens blew another double-digit lead in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns.

With Jalen Hurts reportedly sidelined for at least a month, Tanner McKee faces big challenge for Eagles
Tanner McKee is tasked with steadying the Eagles' ship for at least the next month. And the waters around Philadelphia are getting pretty rocky these days. Jalen Hurts being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot that will reportedly put him on the injured reserve is the latest in a deepening injury problem, ruling the quarterback out for Sunday's game against the Panthers and for at least three games after that.

What do NFL evaluators really see in Arch Manning's uneven season? 'There's a lot more polished guys that are farther along' Original
Two fourth-quarter throws helped end Texas' perfect season last Saturday against Oklahoma. They also raised questions about the most famous QB prospect in college football. First came Arch Manning's pick-6 with 10:07 remaining, giving Oklahoma the lead. Then, after Texas tied it, Manning's second pick in the final 30 seconds set up the Sooners' game-winning field goal in a 27-24 shocker.

5 momentous plays in Week 5: Another Sirianni mistake, plus both teams blowing a win in Giants-Commanders Original
Bad news, Eagles fans: Your coach is back in the "momentous plays" list, and not in a good way. For a second straight week, Nick Sirianni and the Eagles found themselves on the wrong end of a game they absolutely should have won. In Week 4, it was coughing up a 10-point lead at home to the Rams. On Sunday, it was kicking off with a lead and eight seconds remaining … and somehow losing to the Jaguars in London.

From Dyczko to Da Coach: How Mike Ditka became the most Chicago name imaginable Original
In Thanksgiving week of 2024, Mike Ditka had quietly moved back to Chicago, later putting his Naples, Fla. home up for sale. "I'm finally home!" Ditka told a Chicago Sun-Times columnist. "This city is my home. I love it." The grandson of Ukrainian immigrants, Michael Dyczko Jr. was raised in the outskirts of Pittsburgh and became a college star in the city before making it in the National Football League with the Chicago Bears in 1961.

2027 NFL mock draft 1.0: 5 quarterbacks land in Round 1, but WR Jeremiah Smith lands at No. 1
Happy Mocktober! This is our first foray into projecting the 2027 NFL Draft class, and at first glance, it's shaping up to be an exciting first round (and beyond), with some marquee talents — more than each of the past two classes, it appears — at premium positions. There are also four first-round picks already traded, and with the QB crowd, the pick movement should be a major storyline come April. Five quarterbacks landed in this first projection.

Why now was the time for DeMeco Ryans to take back control of the Texans' defense Original
Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Houston Texans are 0-4, and head coach DeMeco Ryans announced Wednesday that he's taking over defensive play-calling duties once more. That's now a move a team makes at 2-2. Even in a 17-game season, starting 0-4 is usually a death knell for a team's postseason hopes. Only one 0-4 team has ever made the playoffs: the 1992 Chargers. It's hard to blame Ryans for pushing this button now.

Grade the trade: What does dealing center Cam Jurgens to Ravens mean for Eagles' Jalen Hurts in short and long run? Original
It has been a busy week for the offensive lines of the Eagles and Ravens. Wednesday's trade between the two teams shuffled things up even more. The Eagles traded offensive lineman Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Ravens in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick. The timing of the move, one day after longtime Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson abruptly announced his retirement, is perhaps the most surprising element of the trade.

NFL reportedly looking into referee incident with Vikings LB Eric Wilson Original
Feisty referees were a Week 4 storyline in the NFL. A seemingly innocuous first-quarter play in the Dolphins-Vikings game turned awkward when head referee Adrian Hill was knocked to the ground — and appeared to have an outsized reaction to it. The Dolphins were facing a 3rd-and-10 play at their own 33-yard line, when the Vikings' Dallas Turner jumped offsides and the play was blown dead.
