There were mitigating circumstances attached. Luvu freely admitted it, and fans have known for some time. When the Commanders suffered some critical injuries on the defensive edge, their plans changed. Concerns about their lack of pass-rushing quality were realized. General manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn scrambled for answers. One solution they implemented centered on using Luvu more on the edge. It didn't work.

When Jordan sacked Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins early in the first quarter, he held up 10 fingers in celebration. It was one of several moments of joy for the Saints' defense on Sunday. They combined for four sacks, with both Jordan and Chase Young crossing the double-digit threshold. Jordan finished the season with 10.5 sacks, his most since 2021, pushing him to 132 in his career, which ranks 17th all time.

Eight more NFL teams punched their ticket into the postseason during Week 16 of the 2025 NFL regular season, which is the most in a single week through a non-strike season in league history, per ESPN Research. That means 10 of 14 teams have qualified for the playoffs with two weeks to go. The Seahawks got in after beating the Rams on Thursday night, while the Eagles made it with a victory on Saturday.

During his 2024 campaign with the Packers, Tucker Kraft started all 17 regular-season games. He finished the season with 50 catches for 707 yards and seven receiving touchdowns. To begin 2025, Tucker Kraft was off to an incredibly hot start for the Packers. Entering Week 9, he led the team in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. Against the Steelers in Week 8, Tucker Kraft has seven catches for 143 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Arguably, the most productive games of his young career.

Julian Edelman is no stranger to chasing championships. During his time with the New England Patriots, the team won three Super Bowls and played in five, and Edelman carved out a Hall of Fame-caliber career as a gutty slot wide receiver. He's one of many believers in his former team as the Patriots have carved out a four-game winning streak - including the last three on the road - a stretch that has seen second-year quarterback Drake Maye playing at an MVP level.

Two things are very true right now about the 2025 Dallas Cowboys. On one hand, QB Dak Prescott is playing the best football of his career. On the other, he's trying to overcome the worst defense he's ever been saddled with. This dichotomy is what's led to the Cowboys' 2-3-1 record after six weeks, and is on pace to throw Prescott's MVP-worthy performance right into the garbage along with the rest of Dallas' season.

Jaxson Dart is Big Blue's new starting quarterback. The rookie officially received the nod from head coach Brian Daboll on Wednesday afternoon and will keep the role for the remainder of the 2025 season. Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are hoping the shakeup can translate into wins, which have been at a premium in recent years around these parts.

Tampa Bay was on the road to face Houston. It took a game-winning touchdown drive for the Buccaneers to escape with a narrow 20-19 victory. While the team is 2-0, Tampa Bay's offensive line continues to be ravaged by injuries. To begin the season, the team knew they would be without LT Tristan Wirfs. He's recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery in July. Additionally, RT Luke Goedeke suffered an injury in Week 2.

Despite wanting to be moved, Jennings is still a member of their roster ahead of Week 1. The 28-year-old was seeking a long-term contract extension from San Francisco. Jennings was not signed to an extension ahead of the 2025 season. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter did report a revised deal for the WR. Jauan Jennings and the 49ers agreed on a deal that will add $3 million in play-time incentives to his contract. Instead of $7.5 million, Jennings can earn up to $10.5 million in 2025.

MYLES GARRETT WALKED up to the dais in the Cleveland Browns' media room on March 14, wearing an all-brown suit -- a color that just weeks before seemed unlikely he'd ever wear again. Colorful dinosaur figurines adorned the ledge in front of the star defensive end. Cupcakes, decorated with an animated caricature of Garrett sitting on a dinosaur, greeted the media, Garrett's representatives and family, and Cleveland's top decision-makers as they entered the room in a state of excitement mixed with great relief.
