The Week 10 NFL defense rankings reveal surprise top‑10 units after Week 9 play. Minnesota tops the list, followed by Seattle, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville, each highlighted by standout performances—Vikings' pressure on Jared Goff, Seahawks' three sacks on Gardner Minshew and a mere 109 total yards allowed, Buccaneers' league‑best run defense (79.1 ypg) and crucial interceptions, Steelers limiting opponents to 11.7 points per game, and Jaguars’ key picks against Baltimore. The article also includes early fantasy defense rankings for the upcoming week.
The Eagles’ Week 9 snap count reveals how injuries and roster moves shaped their 24‑17 loss to the Giants. Only Jordan Mailata played 100% of offensive snaps, while Saquon Barkley logged his highest snap total despite a modest 22‑yard, 13‑carry effort. Receiver turnover continues as DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks sit out, and analysts call for trading Hollywood Brown. On defense, Riq Woolen missed three snaps, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. led with 11 tackles, and Nolan Smith posted five sacks in eight games. Special teams saw a wild punt from Braden Mann (86 yd and a –2 yd). The piece details depth‑chart shifts, inactive players, and critiques of coaching decisions.
The New York Giants are intensifying their pursuit of Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor as the trade deadline looms. After the Colts fell to Dallas 27-23, extending their losing streak to five games, Taylor delivered a heartfelt, farewell‑tone thank‑you to Indianapolis, sparking speculation that he may soon depart. Despite the team’s struggles, Taylor remains productive with 633 rushing yards, eight touchdowns and 22 receptions on 161 carries through nine games. The Colts, now in rebuild mode, could trade the elite back‑field talent before the deadline, potentially sending him to a contender like the Giants.
The latest Loose Feathers roundup reveals the New York Giants have inquired about Ravens backup running back Justice Hill, a $2.75 M, 2026 pending free agent known for his pass‑catching and special‑teams play. While the Ravens aren’t likely to fire‑sale veterans like Derrick Henry, they may consider moving expiring contracts, though Hill’s familiarity with John Harbaugh makes a trade unlikely. The piece also notes Baltimore’s recent deal for QB Jacoby Brissett and potential moves of players like CB Marlon Humphrey, plus praise for first‑year offensive coordinator Declan Doyle’s impact.
Fox Sports' Greg Olsen wanted to set the record straight after some of his remarks about New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers made the rounds.
Week 9 of the Fantasy Football Usage Report breaks down quarterback and skill‑position usage trends that could reshape Superflex lineups. The Ravens officially acquire Jacoby Brissett, promising a volume surge for Zay Flowers, who could crack the top five WR tier. Shedeur Sanders steps in for an injured Deshaun Watson, posting 300 yards and two TDs largely on big‑play passes to Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion, and Harold Fannin Jr. Joe Milton’s rough debut for the Giants (52.9% completions, seven sacks, no TDs) still yields PPR points for Makai Lemon and Dallas Goedert. Running back split shows Braelon Allen averaging 16.5 PPR points per game while Breece Hall returns with limited snaps, and rookie Jordyn Tyson sees modest but promising usage for the Saints. These insights help managers target high‑volume players for the rest of the season.
Looking for Week 10 waiver wire steals? The Game Haus flags five under‑rostered players ideal for standard‑scoring leagues. Backup Colts RB Seth McGowan (20.6% ownership) could explode if Jonathan Taylor is traded. Saints RB Audric Estime (8.8%) posted a 72‑yard TD against the Browns and may earn more snaps with Travis Etienne out. Giants RB Devin Singletary (44.7%) saw increased work after Cam Skattebo’s hamstring injury. Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas (27.5%) is a 51st‑ranked receiver with multiple 70‑yard games. Texans WR Tank Dell (23.3%) just logged 105 yards and a TD in Week 9. These players offer depth and upside for fantasy managers seeking a boost.
The New York Giants withdrew their offer for Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor just days before the trade deadline. Insider Jay Glazer says the Giants had proposed a second‑round and fifth‑round pick, but Indianapolis, demanding a first‑rounder or a package comparable to the 2022 McCaffrey deal, rejected it. Taylor, 27, is under a two‑year, $44 million extension with $39 million guaranteed and has 656 rushing yards, eight TDs and 25 catches this season. With the Giants’ backfield hit by injuries, they’re now exploring other options like Justice Hill. The Colts are expected to keep Taylor through the deadline and may revisit trade talks in the offseason.
Amid speculation surrounding Jalen Carter’s future, Eagles insiders note the team’s reluctance to trade defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, hinting a possible Carter move before the Nov. 5 trade deadline. Coach Nick Sirianni hasn’t dismissed trade talk, while the Eagles’ offense continues to struggle—recording just 99 yards and three points in the second half of a loss to the Giants, allowing seven sacks and 12 in the last two games. Critics call the O‑line the league’s worst, and the upcoming bye week may prompt staff changes as Philadelphia seeks to reverse its slide.
After a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants that pushed the Philadelphia Eagles to 2-7 and a six‑game skid, rookie starter Joe Milton stayed honest about the team’s outlook. Milton, who was signed from the Cowboys’ practice squad on Oct. 16, threw 18‑of‑34 for 169 yards, rushed for 64 yards and was sacked seven times, but said the locker‑room remains focused on improvement. The loss leaves head coach Nick Sirianni and offensive coordinator Sean Mannion under fire as the Eagles head into a bye week before facing the Steelers.
Rookie linebacker Arvell Reese lit up the Eagles in New York’s 19‑11 win, recording three sacks, 12 tackles and a forced fumble that he turned into a 2.29‑second strip‑sack on rookie QB Joe Milton. His inside‑blitz play gave the Giants a new pressure option, forcing Philadelphia to adjust protection calls while the defense tallied seven sacks total. Coach suggests using Reese selectively to mix blitzes with coverage, adding versatility without over‑committing. Micah McFadden added a sack and recovered Reese’s fumble, highlighting a defensive game plan that could reshape the Giants’ rush strategy.
New York Giants rookie wideout Malik Nabers sparks controversy after a modest 5‑catch, 43‑yard effort in the 19‑11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Broadcast analysts Joe Davis and former NFL star Greg Olsen repeatedly criticized Nabers’s body language, noting his frustrated demeanor and a dropped potential TD. Olsen defended the young player, citing a pre‑game chat with offensive coordinator Matt Nagy about Nabers’s vocal nature and urging him to balance competitiveness with team spirit. Post‑game, Nabers addressed the team’s sluggish offense and later took to social media to denounce the broadcast’s narrative, calling for fewer camera cuts on him. The exchange highlights the pressure on emerging talent in high‑stakes division games.
Week 9 in the NFL brought with it continued dominance from the NFC North, excellence from the Jacksonville Jaguars, a close call for the New York Giants, and a loss the New England Patriots would like to forget.

The Eagles fell to the Giants, marking their seventh straight loss and a three‑week NFC East losing streak. Coach Nick Sirianni delayed his post‑game press conference by 72 minutes to meet individually with players in his office. He praised Joe Milton’s flashes of play‑action skill, defended the fourth‑and‑1 decision that failed, and took responsibility for a sack‑fumble, saying the fix lies in coaching and execution. Sirianni also cautioned against knee‑jerk staff changes, noting the offense, including OC Sean Mannion, hasn’t maximized talent, while commending the defense and special teams.
The New York Giants finally broke a 13-game road losing streak in Philadelphia, beating the Eagles 19-11 on Nov. 9, 2026.

The defense tallied seven sacks and limited Philly to a 28% third‑down conversion rate. Dominic Zvada added four field goals, while tight end Isaiah Likely caught five passes for a touchdown, continuing his record‑setting start. Coach John Harbaugh praised Reese’s effort as a sign of the team’s emerging identity.

The post NFL Week 9 Headlines: Giants Rise, Love Shines & Bears Escape appeared first on We Never Stop .
The San Francisco 49ers claim the NFC lead at 7-1 after a dominant win, staying atop the conference thanks to a strength‑of‑victory tiebreaker over the Minnesota Vikings, who sit 6-1 and face a Monday night showdown. In the NFC West, the Rams and Seahawks each improve to 5-4, while Seattle holds a 2‑1 divisional record. The NFC North is fully in the playoffs at nine weeks, and the Giants sit 5‑2‑1 in the East. With the top two NFC seeds set to clash soon, the Vikings could soon lose the No. 2 seed after upcoming games against the Bills and Packers.
The Vikings missed a chance to retake the NFC lead on Sunday as the 49ers crushed the Raiders to stay atop the conference. With the Packers, Lions and Bears all winning, Minnesota must win Monday night to keep pace; a loss would drop them from second to sixth in the NFC and possibly slip them behind Detroit. The updated playoff picture shows San Francisco (7-1) leading, followed by Minnesota (6-1), New York Giants (5-2-1) and a tightly packed North with four teams in the postseason mix.
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh addressed a report from Sunday that the team pulled its offer for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, and kept the door ajar for the team reopening those talks.
After a seventh straight loss—including a 19‑11 defeat to the Giants—Philadelphia is poised for the No. 5 overall pick in the 2027 draft, trailing only the Chargers, Titans, Dolphins and Jets. Assuming Jalen Hurts returns from blood clots and remains the starter, the Eagles likely won’t chase top quarterback prospects. The article weighs three front‑line candidates: LSU offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, praised for elite pass‑protection and run‑block grades; Ohio State wideout Jeremiah Smith, a record‑setting receiver with 1,200 yards and 14 TDs in nine games; and South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart, a five‑star talent with 13 sacks and nine forced fumbles. Each could reinvigorate Philadelphia’s ailing line, receiving corps, or pass rush.
The New York Giants break a 13‑year drought with a 19‑11 win at Philadelphia, improving to 5‑2‑1 atop the NFC East. Wideout Malik Nabers, who entered the game with a 100‑yard streak, was held to five catches for 43 yards as the Eagles’ defense limited his impact. After the broadcast, Giants star slammed FOX analyst Greg Olsen, accusing him of fabricating a negative narrative about his body language and labeling him a bad teammate. Nabers posted on Instagram demanding the camera stay off him if viewers dislike his play. The clash over commentary fuels the post‑game discussion.
Dallas improved to 4-5, the 5-2-1 Giants won at Philadelphia, and Prescott credited Jerry Jones' front office two days before the trade deadline.
