The 2025 season feels like the supreme example of NFL parity. We're somehow sitting here in Week 13 with two teams hitting double digits in the win column: the 10-2 Broncos, who held on for dear life to beat the Commanders on Sunday night, and the 10-2 Patriots, who play on "Monday Night Football" against the Giants. There are bad teams because there are always bad teams, of course,

I want to give the Chiefs a good opportunity, whether I come back or not - or whether they want me back or not. I'd like to make that decision before they've got to get draft picks and free agency opens to fill the roster appropriately. All that will be at the end of the season. I won't be thinking about it until then.

The New York Islanders could be entering panic territory as the season approaches the end of October. The Isles got out to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. But then, the wheels gradually came off. The Bruins scored three in the second to take a 3-2 lead into the second intermission. By the final buzzer, it was 5-2.

Two of their biggest stars linebacker Fred Warner and tight end George Kittle played a little more than a quarter together and that's how it will remain. Warner is out for the season with a broken and dislocated right ankle and Kittle is expected to return this week after missing five games on injured reserve with a hamstring strain. Defensive end Nick Bosa was lost with a torn ACL on Sept. 21.

It has been over a year since the last time the Philadelphia Eagles lost a football game that quarterback Jalen Hurts started and finished. The last loss Philly had where Hurts played the full game came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 29th, 2024. Since then, they are 20-1, with their lone loss coming at the hands of the Washington Commanders, and Hurts only threw four passes in that game before leaving with an injury.
