Panthers’ Jalen Coker Set for Season Debut vs. Jets

The rookie from Holy Cross has officially been cleared to play after spending the first few weeks of the 2025 NFL season on the inactive list. The Panthers’ coaching staff has been encouraged by Coker’s preparation and steady development, and Sunday’s matchup marks his first opportunity to showcase his skills on the professional stage. A Reward for Patience and Hard Work After an impressive offseason and preseason showing, Jalen Coker was one of the final roster decisions for Carolina coming out of training camp. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound wideout drew praise for his work ethic and football intelligence, even as he waited for his chance to contribute. “Jalen’s done everything right,” one Panthers assistant coach said earlier this week. “He’s prepared, he’s locked in, and he’s ready f...

Flacco’s 2025 Season So Far: Early Struggles, Late Improvement After Joining Bengals

📸 Image Credit: Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images / Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images The 2025 NFL season has been a turbulent one for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, who began the year with the Cleveland Browns before being traded to the Cincinnati Bengals in early October. The 39-year-old signal-caller has faced inconsistent performances, protection issues, and transition challenges while trying to stabilize his new offense. Through five games, Flacco has completed 122 of 205 passes for 1,034 yards, with four touchdowns and six interceptions. His 59.5% completion rate and 67.0 passer rating reflect a rocky stretch marked by flashes of veteran poise but also costly mistakes. Rough Start in Cleveland Flacco’s stint in Cleveland opened with a narrow 17–16 loss to the Bengals in Week 1. Despit...

Bengals Lose Mike Gesicki Ahead of Crucial Thursday Night Clash vs. Steelers

📸 Image Credit: ESPN The Cincinnati Bengals’ uphill battle in the AFC North just got steeper. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team has placed veteran tight end Mike Gesicki on injured reserve after he suffered a pectoral injury during the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The move sidelines one of Cincinnati’s key offensive pieces for at least four games, further testing the team’s depth as it looks to turn its season around. Gesicki’s Injury Comes at a Tough Time Gesicki’s absence is a significant blow for quarterback Joe Flacco, who had started to develop chemistry with the athletic tight end after being traded to Cincinnati from the Cleveland Browns on October 7. In limited action, Gesicki provided a reliable middle-of-the-field option for Flacco, who thrives on tim...

Steelers vs Bengals: How Joe Flacco Could Challenge Pittsburgh’s Defense

📸 Image Credit: kien Durchkommen CINCINNATI — The Pittsburgh Steelers head into a pivotal AFC North clash against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football, facing a familiar but formidable opponent: veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. After a midseason trade from the Cleveland Browns, Flacco has revitalized Cincinnati’s offense, creating a unique challenge for Mike Tomlin’s defense. Flacco’s Veteran Edge Joe Flacco brings nearly two decades of NFL experience to the Bengals’ offense. Known for his calm under pressure, precise deep passes, and quick decision-making, Flacco has historically been difficult for defenses to contain. Against the Steelers, he holds a career record of 10-11 as a starter, completing 61% of his passes with 25 touchdowns and 12 interceptions against Pi...

Mike Tomlin Questions Browns’ Trade of Joe Flacco to Bengals Ahead of AFC North Clash

📸 Image Credit: Michael Owens/AP Photo In a rare show of candid criticism toward another NFL front office, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin openly questioned the Cleveland Browns’ decision to trade veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals. His remarks came after the Steelers’ 23-9 victory over the Browns, which featured rookie Dillon Gabriel under center. Flacco Heads to Cincinnati Midseason On October 7, 2025, the Cleveland Browns sent 40-year-old Flacco and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Bengals in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick. This move leaves Cleveland relying on rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, while Cincinnati acquires a seasoned veteran to replace struggling Jake Browning after Joe Burrow’s injury. Flacco quickly...

Battle of the Uncs: Bengals vs. Steelers Set for Thursday Night Showdown

The NFL’s Week 7 primetime slate comes with a touch of humor and history. When the Cincinnati Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football (Oct. 16), the league is calling it the “Battle of the Uncs.” The nickname, coined by the NFL’s social media team, is a playful nod to the two veteran quarterbacks set to face off — Joe Flacco (40) and Aaron Rodgers (41) — marking just the third matchup in league history between two starting QBs over 40. Why “Battle of the Uncs”? The term “unc,” short for “uncle,” is a lighthearted slang word often used to describe an older man in a humorous, affectionate way. With Flacco and Rodgers leading their respective squads into Paycor Stadium, it’s a fitting label for what’s shaping up to be one of the most intriguing midseason matchups...

Baker Mayfield’s Rise to MVP Contender Highlights Cleveland Browns’ Ongoing Chaos

📸 Image Credit: Instagram For over two decades, the Cleveland Browns have been the NFL’s cautionary tale — a revolving door of coaches, quarterbacks, and false dawns. Since returning to the league in 1999, the Browns have managed just four winning seasons, each followed by more disappointment. Twenty-five years later, nothing seems to have changed. Quarterback Chaos Continues This season, Cleveland entered training camp with four quarterbacks. Now, only two remain — both rookies. Dillon Gabriel has taken over as starter, backed up by Shedeur Sanders, after the team shipped Kenny Pickett to the Raiders and saw veteran Joe Flacco join the Bengals. Gabriel showed flashes of potential against the Vikings, tossing two touchdown passes in Week 5, but crashed back to earth versus...

Michael Penix Jr. Outshines Josh Allen as Falcons Silence the Bills on Monday Night Football

📸 Image Credit: Brett Davis Imagn images While much of the conversation following Monday night’s slate revolved around the latest struggles of the Buffalo Bills and Washington Commanders, a far more compelling storyline quietly unfolded in Atlanta — one that may shape the NFC’s future. In just his fifth career start, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. delivered a statement performance under the bright lights of Monday Night Football, leading his team to a 24–14 upset victory over the reigning MVP, Josh Allen, and the Buffalo Bills. For a franchise that stunned the football world back in April 2024 by drafting Penix No. 8 overall — mere weeks after signing Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract — this win felt like validation.
