Seattle’s offensive coordinator Brian Fleury says backup quarterback Drew Lock’s oblique and lingering elbow issues pose no concern ahead of the Week 10 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Lock, who stepped in for injured starter Sam Darnold, threw for a modest 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week despite limited reps. The former New York Giants backup, who logged over 1,000 passing yards in eight games in 2024 and four starts for Seattle in 2023, is expected to lead the Seahawks until Darnold returns as Seattle eyes another Super Bowl run.

Devin Booker scores 30 points on 12-of-20 shooting, including a clutch 3 with 23 seconds left, as the Phoenix Suns edge the Charlotte Hornets 101-96 on Nov. 13, 2026.

The article examines why Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has used far less pre‑snap motion in 2026, especially when the team falls behind. After a Week 8 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Schottenheimer explained that trailing changes play‑calling calculus, opting for shotgun, spread formations rather than under‑center, run‑action sets that facilitate motion.

The piece highlights the contrast between modern high‑motion offenses and the Cowboys’ current approach.
