The Browns have made the call — Shedeur Sanders is officially the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Cleveland’s rolling with the rookie, pointing to his poise, arm talent, and flashes of brilliance as the reason he’s keeping the job. Despite a rough outing from the defense, Sanders showed enough command to convince the staff he’s the guy going forward. The message from the Browns? This is Shedeur’s team now. #Browns #ShedeurSanders #NFL #Cleveland #WLNN 📎 FOX8

Colts’ QB Room Is Down to One Riley Leonard

The Colts’ QB room is suddenly on fumes. Daniel Jones will undergo Achilles surgery, while Anthony Richardson remains on IR with a fractured orbital bone. As a result, Riley Leonard is now the only healthy quarterback on the 53-man roster. Meanwhile, Brett Rypien stays on the practice squad, and the team could add another arm this week. The timing couldn’t be tougher: Indy closes with @ Seahawks, vs 49ers, vs Jaguars, and @ Texans. If Leonard holds the fort and the front office finds help quickly, the Colts can still stay in the wild-card hunt—but the margin for error is paper-thin. #NFL #Colts #RileyLeonard #DanielJones #AnthonyRichardson #AFCSouth #InjuryReport #NextManUp #PlayoffRace

The Chiefs Have Already Lost More Games in 5 Weeks Than They Did All of 2024

This is officially one of the roughest starts of the Andy Reid–Patrick Mahomes era. The offense looks shaky, the turnovers are piling up, and the aura of invincibility KC built over the past decade is starting to crack. Kansas City is still dangerous — you can never count out Mahomes — but this team looks nothing like the one we saw last season. #NFL #Chiefs #Mahomes #AndyReid #AFC #FootballTalk #NFL2025 #ChiefsKingdom

The Chiefs Have Lost 7 Games — Only the 2nd Time This Has Happened in the Andy Reid Era

The Kansas City Chiefs just dropped their 7th game of the 2025 season, and that number carries massive historical weight. This is only the second time in the entire Andy Reid era that KC has lost more than six games in a season. The only other instance was in 2014. That 2014 team finished 9–7, missed the playoffs, and famously became the only team in NFL history to go a full season without a WR scoring a touchdown. Their core looked like this: QB1: Alex Smith RB1: Jamaal Charles WR1: Dwayne Bowe K: Cairo Santos And crazy enough — Travis Kelce is the only active player who played on both that team and this 2025 squad. Now here’s where things get even more dramatic: If this were still a 16-game season, the Chiefs’ streak of 10+ wins every year under Reid would be dead. With 17 games, the streak is mathematically alive, but only if they win out. Also, this is shaping up to be Mahomes’ worst season as a starter, with seven losses marking the most in the Mahomes era. From a perennial powerhouse to a team fighting just to stay afloat — this is uncharted territory for Kansas City. Are we watching the end of the Chiefs’ dynasty, or just a mid-season nightmare before another comeback? #NFL #Chiefs #PatrickMahomes #AndyReid #NFLHistory #AFC #FootballTalk #Dynasty #KansasCity

Mahomes Records the Worst Game of His Career — Passer Rating 19.8

Patrick Mahomes just had the roughest outing of his career. Mahomes finished the game with a 19.8 passer rating — the lowest he has ever posted in an NFL start. His previous career low? 44.4 last season against the 49ers. This was also the first time in Mahomes’ career he’s thrown 0 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in a single game. For a QB known for being almost turnover-proof, this was uncharted territory — and it happened at a moment when Kansas City desperately needed a win. A rare off-night for one of the most consistent players of this era. #NFL #Mahomes #Chiefs #NFLStats #FootballTalk #AFCWest #KansasCity

The NFC Is Pure Chaos: Bears Fall From #1 to #7, Lions at 8–5 Aren’t Even In

Nothing in the NFC is settled. Absolutely nothing. The Chicago Bears went into the week as the #1 seed in the NFC. After losing to the Packers… they instantly dropped all the way to #7. That’s how tight the conference is right now. And somehow, the 8–5 Detroit Lions — a record that would be comfortably in the postseason most years — aren’t even in the playoff picture at the moment. Every loss flips the bracket. Every win launches a team 3–4 spots up. The entire conference is basically one giant traffic jam. With a few weeks left, this playoff race is going to get messy. Expect dramatic shuffling all the way to Week 18. Good luck predicting the NFC. Nobody can. #NFL #NFC #Bears #Lions #Packers #PlayoffRace #NFLStandings #FootballTalk

The Broncos Pass Rush Is About to Make HISTORY — 55 Sacks and Hunting the ’84 Bears

The Denver Broncos defense is on an absolutely insane tear right now. 55 sacks. #1 in the NFL. ELEVEN more than the 2nd-place Browns. And here’s the wild part: They are 17 sacks away from breaking the NFL single-season record held by the legendary 1984 Chicago Bears (72 sacks)… with FOUR games left. Denver’s sack monsters so far: Nik Bonitto — 12.5 Jonathon Cooper — 7.5 Zach Allen — 6 John Franklin-Myers — 5.5 Ja’Quan McMillan — 4 (from a CB, LOL) They’re averaging 4.23 sacks per game. They need 4.25 per game to break the record. That’s literally ON PACE. And the final stretch? Packers (6th in sack % allowed) Jaguars (18th) Chiefs (13th) Chargers (26th — yikes) Two tough matchups, two tasty ones. The record is RIGHT THERE. If Denver closes this out, we might be watching one of the greatest pass-rush seasons in NFL history. The 2025 Broncos defense isn’t just good. It’s Bears ’84, Steelers ’76, Eagles ’91 territory. Broncos Country… We might be witnessing an all-time unit forming in real time. #NFL #Broncos #BroncosCountry #DefenseWinsChampionships #PassRush #NFLHistory

End of an Era: Chiefs’ 9-Year AFC West Reign Is Over

With tonight’s loss, the Kansas City Chiefs have officially had their 9-year run of dominating the AFC West snapped. That means no top-4 seed via the division crown — and as of now, KC is on the outside looking in for the playoffs. To make matters worse: it was a brutal night for Patrick Mahomes — arguably one of his worst home starts. Completion % in the 40s, a season-low passer rating, and three interceptions. It’s wild how fast things shift — a team that looked like a perennial SB-contender just a few seasons ago is now fighting just to get in. #NFL #Chiefs #AFCWest #Mahomes #NFLPlayoffs #FootballTalk
