The Tennessee Titans trade All‑Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears, acquiring two first‑round picks (2026 and 2028), a 2027 fourth‑rounder and sending a 2028 fifth‑rounder to Chicago.

In Thursday Night Football, the Patriots fell 30-24 to the Bears at Soldier Field, exposing three key problems. Wideout A.J. Brown, a 2028 first‑round pick, posted the fourth‑worst separation rate (1.5 yd) among qualified receivers, limiting him to just three catches per game. Quarterback Drake Maye threw his first red‑zone interception since Week 4, a costly mistake that helped seal the loss. New England also suffered from a lack of possession, recording a season‑low 54 offensive snaps and only 2:39 of ball time versus Chicago’s 12:21, while rushing only 17 times. These issues highlight concerns about Brown’s production and the Patriots’ ability to control the game.
