TotalProSports rolls out its Week 10 NFL power rankings, highlighting the mid‑season shake‑up as teams vie for playoff spots. The Los Angeles Chargers sit at the bottom after a 44‑22 home loss to the Texans, while the Miami Dolphins tumble to 31st following a 19‑9 defeat by the Lions.

After a 44-22 defeat to the Houston Texans that left the Los Angeles Chargers winless at 0-8, former NFL stars Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder blasted head coach Jim Harbaugh for mishandling quarterback Justin Herbert.

Houston Astros GM Randy Flores narrows the managerial hunt to four candidates—former catcher‑manager Brad Ausmus, ex‑Astro Morgan Ensberg, Rangers bench coach Luis Urueta, and Hall‑of‑Famer Albert Pujols—after interviewing each this week. Pujols, a 46‑year‑old three‑time NL MVP who led a Dominican Winter League title and managed the 2026 WBC team, stands out despite no MLB managing experience. Ausmus offers the most MLB pedigree (Detroit Tigers, Angels, Yankees bench coach), while Urueta brings recent big‑league bench work and a stint as Marlins interim manager. Flores says the decision will weigh trust, energy and clubhouse chemistry as the Astros, fresh off an 81‑81 season and a Wild Card sweep, seek to rebound in 2027.
The Cleveland Browns plunge into ‘Quarterback Controversy Season’ after a 22‑point loss to the 2‑win New Orleans Saints left coach Todd Monken unable to name a starter for the upcoming game against the Houston Texans. With the team sitting 5‑3 but plagued by a tired defense that has yielded 501 rushing yards in three weeks, the Browns can stick with the starter who helped them reach a 5‑3 record or turn to the backup who rallied a one‑point loss with strong YAC. Monken’s delay fuels fan frustration as he wavers between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, while the team’s draft position hangs in the balance.
Seahawks quarterback is worth adding given Sam Darnold's continued absence, while Texans receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has fallen down the pecking order.
