It wasn’t necessarily pretty, but the New England Patriots earned their first win of the 2025 campaign in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins. With the final score settling in at 33-27, the Patriots did a good job of bouncing back after a rough outing in Week 1, but there are still some areas that need to be cleaned up.

Drake Maye and the offense had quite a bit of success moving the ball in this one, but the defense struggled to slow down Miami’s offense, particularly in the second half. With the game officially in the books, let’s check...

Things just keeping getting worse for the Chicago Bears in 2025. Sure, we’ve only gotten through two games in the regular season, but it’s hard to imagine how those two games could have gone much worse.

In Week 1, the Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings in quarterback J.J. McCarthy’s first NFL start. Then, in Week 2, the Bears weren’t even competitive against the Detroit Lions, and Jared Goff carved the defense up. To make matters worse, it seems like the team could be without one of its best players for the rest of the season.

Star cornerback Jaylon Johnson...

Kaleb Johnson was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-round pick this year, and there was hope that he would quickly take a lead role in their backfield. Unfortunately, he’s had a rough start to his NFL career. He hasn’t had much of a presence on offense, getting most of his work as the Steelers’ primary kick returner. […]

The Las Vegas Raiders announced Monday that they’re elevating WR Alex Bachman to their active roster for Week 2’s game.

Bachman, 29, wound up going undrafted out of Wake Forest back in April 2021. He later agreed to a three-year, $1.755 million contract with the Rams. However, Los Angeles waived Bachman with an injury designation coming out of the preseason and he later reverted to their injured reserve list. He was later released with a settlement.

Bachman had worked out with the Giants back in November 2021 and he caught on with their practice squad late in the season....

As expected, the Panthers will be shorthanded up front for a lengthy period. Guard Robert Hunt and center Austin Corbett are both headed to injured reserve, head coach Dave Canales confirmed on Monday.

Hunt suffered a torn left biceps during yesterday’s game. Surgery will be required as a result, meaning he could very well be lost for the season. The shift to IR ensures a four-game absence at a minimum, but for both Hunt and Corbett a much longer absence is in store.

Corbett suffered an MCL injury during Carolina’s Week 2 contest. Canales noted the extent of the...

The Los Angeles Chargers announced they have placed LB Denzel Perryman and signed LS Rick Lovato to the active roster.

They also elevated S Tony Jefferson and LB Kana’i Mauga from the practice squad to the active roster.

Perryman, 32, was a second-round pick of the Chargers back in 2015. He played out the final year of his four-year, $4.776 million contract before returning...

The Cincinnati Bengals’ season could be in jeopardy after only the first two weeks of the season, as Joe Burrow is set to miss extended time after suffering turf toe against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burrow is set to have surgery, and the timeline reported that he may be out for around three months.

For now, the Bengals will have to rely on backup QB Jake Browning, who helped the Browns get the win in Week 2. If they don’t believe in Browning to lead the way for the next few months, there’s a chance that the Bengals could look around...

The Kansas City Chiefs had a lot of questions coming into the 2025 season after a blowout in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles, but even their biggest skeptics have to be a bit surprised at the way this fall has started for Patrick Mahomes and company.

Following a 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers where the Chiefs had their chances to come back and win in Week 1, Kansas City was beaten 20-17 by the Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch in front of its home fans on Sunday. That leaves the Chiefs at 0-2 as questions...

After Green Bay Packers offensive tackle Zach Tom was ruled out for Week 2 with an oblique injury, he could be cleared to play for their upcoming matchup against the Cleveland Browns, according to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. Ahead of facing defensive end Myles Garrett and the Browns after a 27-18 win against the Washington Commanders, Green Bay can improve to 3-0 on the 2025 NFL season.

LaFleur says Tom is feeling much better than he did ahead of last week’s preparation for the Commanders, according to Packers beat writer Ryan Wood.

“Matt LaFleur says Zach Tom feels “a...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced they have elevated OL Michael Jordan to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 2 against the Texans.

Jordan, 27, is a former fourth-round pick by the Bengals in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. He was entering the third year of his four-year, $3,008,392 rookie contract and set to earn a base salary of $850,000 when Cincinnati elected to waive him coming out of the preseason

He was later claimed off waivers by the Panthers. Carolina re-signed Jordan in May as an unrestricted free agent, but he was among their...

It wasn’t all fun for the Baltimore Ravens as they had a key injury against the Browns. However, John Harbaugh credited the Browns for playing smart football in the Week 2 blowout.

He said the Browns had the right game plan, according to a post on X by Jeff Zrebiec.

“Harbaugh: “They weren’t going to get beat by the run. That’s smart football. They did a great job with it.”

The Ravens managed only 45 yards on the ground, including 23 by Derrick Henry and 13 by Lamar Jackson. However, it’s hard not to see Harbaugh’s comments as somewhat disingenuous...
