Aaron Rodgers has been trying to reunite with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for years, and now, at long last, he finally has. The veteran wide receiver spoke to reporters on Wednesday for the first time since signing with the Steelers. Currently on the practice squad, he made no secret of why he opted to come to Pittsburgh.

All 32 NFL teams have played either eight or nine games, meaning they’re officially halfway through the regular season. So we thought it was fitting to assess the performance of each team as is. Some have earned an A+, while others are flunking their way to an F. How does your team’s NFL report card look ahead of Week 10?

Arizona Cardinals: C-

Kyler Murray helped the Cardinals win their first two games of the season, but he lost the next three. Suffering an injury gave way to Jacoby Brissett, who now takes over as the full-time starter. Brissett...

The Tennessee Titans traded outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday in exchange for a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-rounder. Jones’ departure leaves the Titans thin at EDGE. The rebuilding team needs rookie EDGE Femi Oladejo to get healthy and start producing.

The Titans did not trade Arden Key prior to Tuesday’s deadline. Key has been sidelined for multiple games, but should return to action in Week 11 versus the Houston Texans. The expectation is that he’ll start alongside Jihad Ward in base defense following Jones’ departure.

Oladejo is currently on IR. So...

The Minnesota Vikings may have found their future at quarterback, but JJ McCarthy says there’s more to his game-day mentality than most realize. The second-year signal-caller revealed this week that he enters a unique mental state when he takes the field — one he calls “Nine.”

The former national champion with the Michigan Wolverines has carried that same competitive drive into his professional career. McCarthy’s time under Jim Harbaugh instilled the discipline and edge that now define his approach at the next level, shaping how he handles pressure and channels emotion on the NFL stage each week.

The Minnesota Star...

After frustrating Jets stint, Qunnien Williams is ‘hungry to win’ with Dallas Cowboys – Calvin Watkins, Dallas Morning News

The Cowboys newest defensive star is ready to win after tough time in New York.

FRISCO — Losing can wear a man down. The constant defeats at home and on the road for a dysfunctional franchise can leave you looking for something new.

Quinnen Williams, a talented defensive tackle, had seen enough. It was clear he sought a new place of employment after playing seven seasons with the New York Jets.

The Cowboys [were trying to...

Player: CB Cory Trice Jr. Stock Value: Down Reasoning: Things are not looking good for third-year CB Cory Trice Jr., who seems to have suffered yet another injury setback. Already attempting to make a return from one injury, he has evidently suffered an additional, separate injury. His absence from practice has now bled into a […]

The Los Angeles Chargers didn’t waste time putting newly acquired offensive lineman Trevor Penning to work. Less than 24 hours after being traded from the New Orleans Saints, the 26-year-old made his practice debut on Wednesday, revealing afterward that he took reps at both tackle positions as he begins his transition into the Chargers’ system.

The Athletic’s Daniel Popper took to his X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing that Penning confirmed the update to reporters following the team’s midweek session. It was an early glimpse into how the Chargers offensive line plans to deploy their newest addition amid a stretch...

The NFC East was a combined 0-3 in Week 9 with the Philadelphia Eagles enjoying their bye week. They got plenty of rest and even significantly added to their roster.

Not many teams can say they were the best team in their division during a week when they didn’t even play a single snap of football.

The sad thing is, neither the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, nor the Washington Commanders put up much of a fight this week.

Philadelphia now enjoys a three-game cushion over second-place Dallas. A win against the Packers on Monday and it becomes a 3.5-game...

With the 2025 NFL trade deadline in the rearview mirror, it’s a natural break point to start looking ahead to the 2026 offseason when the trade window will open back up. Plenty will happen in the meantime to impact the league landscape, from the second half of the regular season to the playoffs and more, but we can already start to see what the picture will look like. This past deadline continues to prove that we are in a new era of player movement, with front offices willing to be more aggressive and more creative to lean into contending or...

That was another disappointing game for the Bengals, but hey, the first 10 seconds were pretty cool.

Charlie Jones, took the opening kickoff 99 yards to the house, starting the Bengals out with a 7-0 lead.

Let’s take a look…

This was a great play by the dynamic Jones, but he didn’t do it alone. Let’s see how the blocks set up Jones for the score.

From left to right in this picture, the Bengals have Oren Burks, Drew Sample. Joe Gile-Harris, Cedric Johnson, and Tanner Hudson on the front line.

Burks blocks the man just inside of him. This...

2025 AFC Midseason Report Cards: Three Teams Ace the First Half, While Four Fail | SI

Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs have endured a very abnormal season. They’re 5–4 and currently out of the playoffs. They also have terrific odds in every sportsbook to win the Super Bowl, despite being in third place in the AFC West.

Patrick Mahomes is a big reason to believe in Kansas City as an MVP frontrunner with 2,349 passing yards and 17 touchdowns, while Travis Kelce leads all tight ends with 540 receiving yards at...
