Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs applauds the Chicago Bears’ blockbuster trade for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, noting the Bears have upgraded their defense. Simmons, acquired for the Titans’ 2027 and 2028 first‑round picks plus a fourth‑rounder, debuted with six tackles, a sack and a pass deflection in a 34‑17 win over Seattle. Jacobs hints Green Bay has “a very special player” returning, keeping the NFC North rivalry heated as both squads eye upcoming matchups.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins, fresh off a 38-33 win over the Jets, praises former defensive coordinator Raheem Morris ahead of the Raiders’ matchup with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Colorado Eagles fell 2‑1 to the Coachella Valley Firebirds on Wednesday, earning just one point on the road after a shootout loss to San Diego. Gavin Brindley opened scoring at 3:00, but Gustav Olofsson assisted Eduard Šalé for the equalizer early in the second. A late penalty on Taylor Makar shifted momentum, and with 8.8 seconds left John Hayden capitalized on a faceoff win to seal the Firebirds’ victory. Brindley now has three goals and seven assists in nine games, while goalie Trent Miner posted a solid effort despite the loss. The Eagles close the trip against Calgary on Friday.
The Chicago Bears’ season surges after trading for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, whose debut helped Chicago beat the defending Super Bowl champs 34-17. Now 6‑2 and riding a sparkly offense led by sophomore quarterback Caleb Williams, the Bears look set to clinch the NFC North and make a deep playoff run. The article warns General Manager Ryan Poles to resist a blockbuster deadline move—especially a costly pursuit of former Bear Khalil Mack— and instead consider only a modest upgrade, like a veteran backup tight end (e.g., Dallas Goedert) after Cole Kmet’s season‑ending injury.
The Packers and Patriots clash Sunday in Week 9, both sitting at 5-3 and fighting for wild‑card positioning. Green Bay’s glaring weakness is its running game – last in the NFL at 2.9 yards per carry, with the worst EPA and success rate, and an offensive line still struggling to create push. Even the return of Josh Jacobs offers only modest improvement, while New England boasts a top‑10 defensive front anchored by Christian Barmore and Milton Williams, limiting rushes before contact to just 0.57 yards. quarterback Jordan Love, who leads the league with 2,246 passing yards and ranks fourth in TDs, must shoulder the load against a talented Patriots secondary. The outcome could hinge on whether the Packers can finally revive their ground attack or rely solely on Love’s passing prowess.
The Florida Panthers cruise to a 5-3 road win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night, snapping Chicago's late surge.
