The Dallas Cowboys head into Week 10 after a 27‑23 win over the Colts to face a 7‑1 San Francisco 49ers team that leads the NFC. The 49ers average 29.4 points while allowing just 19.5, and they rolled past the Raiders 38‑17 with five forced turnovers. Quarterback Brock Purdy is at his peak, posting a 69.1% completion rate, 1,980 yards, 17 TDs and a 109.8 passer rating, plus 201 rushing yards. Coach Kyle Shanahan’s balanced attack features 1,082 rushing yards (4.6 yd/carry) led by Christian McCaffrey (457 yd, nine TDs) and a versatile passing corps with George Kittle, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and newcomer Keenan Allen. Dallas must stay disciplined, pressure Purdy and tackle well to contain a multi‑dimensional offense.
Mercer scored two goals as the Jets beat the Devils in Connor Hellebuyck’s return game that wasn’t.
The Chicago Bears passed on three potential trade deadline additions who could have strengthened their defense for a playoff push.
The Buffalo Bills beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-6 on Monday, highlighted by James Cook’s 107-yard, 31‑carry effort that included a fourth‑quarter touchdown and pushed him past 5,000 career rushing yards. Coach Joe Brady honored the defense – led by linebacker Terrel Bernard’s interception – for limiting the Vikings to 178 yards, nine first downs and zero scores. Rookie tight end Keleki Latu celebrated his first NFL touchdown on a 25‑yard pass from Josh Allen. Additional standouts were Greg Rousseau’s sack‑filled night and perfect kicking from Tyler Bass. The win showcases Buffalo’s ability to succeed without relying solely on Allen.
As the 2026 college football season winds down, several Mountain West and Pac-12 coaches are facing precarious positions. Colorado State's Jim Mora sits at 3-6 amid the nation’s worst FBS defense, a mid‑game defensive coordinator dismissal, and internal discipline issues. Hawaii’s Timmy Chang, in his fifth year, has slipped to 2-6 after a promising 9‑win 2025, with offense dropping back to 20.3 points per game (118th). Nevada’s Jeff Choate, despite returning key starters, remains stuck at three wins and struggles in close contests. San Diego State’s Sean Lewis, fresh from a 9‑win 2025, now sits 4-5, raising doubts about his future. The article forecasts that at least one of these coaches will be ousted before December.
In Week 9 against Detroit, the Miami Dolphins’ special‑teams woes continue, with the unit failing to secure any points and even surrendering a fake‑punt conversion. Quarterback Malik Cunningham’s groin injury hampers his mobility, forcing the offense to rely on sporadic deep throws and limited run success—averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. While the line held up against a fierce D‑line and running back Jalen Achane delivered a few burst runs, overall the attack lacks the trench size to consistently gain yards. The author calls for an urgent revamp of special teams and added “big uglies” up front, though he notes the team is moving in the right direction.

Longtime Steelers running back and coach Dick Hoak has died at 86. A 1961 seventh‑round draft pick, Hoak rushed for 3,965 yards, topped 858 yards in 1968, and retired after the 1970 season. He joined Chuck Noll’s staff in 1972 and served as running backs coach for 34 seasons, guiding Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier, Jerome Bettis and Willie Parker to five Super Bowl titles (1970s and 2006). Hoak is one of six Steelers who earned rings in both eras and was honored in the Steelers Hall of Honor, the Jeannette and National High School Football Halls of Fame, and with the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame Award of Excellence.

The Los Angeles Rams reportedly asked the Los Angeles Chargers for wide receiver Ladd McConkey before the Nov. 12 trade deadline, but the Chargers said no. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano say the Rams, dealing with injuries to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, considered a move but ultimately stuck with Matthew Stafford’s existing corps. McConkey, 24, has 17 catches for 286 yards and one TD this season, including a 86‑yard game against the Rams in Week 8, yet the winless Chargers (0‑8) keep him. The Rams, now 5‑4 after a 20‑13 win over Washington, remain inactive on trade day.
The Seattle Seahawks add former UDFA defensive tackle Cole Brevard to their practice squad, releasing Gary Smith III to create space. Brevard, a 6‑ft‑3, 346‑lb nose tackle, went undrafted in 2026, spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs before being cut, and boasts 38 tackles, 5.5 TFLs and 2.5 sacks from Purdue plus a stint at Texas. The move updates Seattle’s Week 10 practice squad roster, which now includes linemen Logan Brown and Bobby Hart, QB Adrian Martinez, RB Velus Jones Jr., and defensive players like Aidan Hubbard and Trevon Diggs.

Drew Brees tells Front Office Sports he’d jump at the chance to replace Troy Aikman on ESPN’s Monday Night Football if Aikman departs amid his feud with Joe Buck. While Brees currently sits on FOX’s No. 3 broadcast team behind Tom Brady/Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen/Joe Davis, he says he loves the preparation and wants to be the best broadcaster. Aikman hinted he may become a “free agent” after the season, while Buck just secured a five‑year, $108 million extension, leaving the future of the MNF duo uncertain.

Brandon Aiyuk has been reinstated from the reserve/left‑squad list and passed his physical, but 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan appears unlikely to keep him. Agent Drew Rosenhaus says Aiyuk will either return to San Francisco after a two‑week roster exemption ends on Nov. 24 or be released, making him a free agent likely to attract interest from teams with past ties—particularly the Washington Commanders, who share his Arizona State connection. The 49ers won’t owe him salary during the exemption, and a practice‑squad offer from an NFC club is rumored. Aiyuk, 28, posted 23 catches for 351 yards in 2024 and is set to play this season if a new deal is reached.

Corn Nation’s latest SB Nation Reacts poll asks fans whether Nebraska’s decision to fire offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen was timed right. Holgorsen entered the Cornhuskers in 2024 after successful high‑scoring tenures at Texas Tech, Houston, Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Houston, but his two‑year run fell short in the Big Ten, highlighted by a 5‑0 start in 2026 followed by a four‑game losing streak, penalties ranking 17th in the conference, and stalled scoring drives. Matt Rhule replaced him with Glenn Thomas for the rest of the season. The survey invites readers to vote on whether the move should have come sooner, later, or was spot‑on.
On the Not Just Football podcast, former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin recounts Ben Roethlisberger’s brutal 2010 Baltimore injury when Haloti Ngata broke the quarterback’s nose. Tomlin describes Roethlisberger’s stoic grin, gauze‑covered nose, and the added broken foot he played through to spark a 13‑10 comeback, capped by a 9‑yard TD to Isaac Redman with 2:58 left. Despite surgery, Roethlisberger returned instantly, joking that Mario Lemieux said he now looks like a hockey player. Tomlin praises Roethlisberger’s fearless, clutch mentality, saying he ‘loves’ adversity.

The Jacksonville Jaguars chose to keep wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. despite interest from teams like the Chiefs, prioritizing offensive depth as they chase the AFC’s top seed. Thomas has slumped to just 10 catches for 117 yards and two TDs in eight games this season, a sharp drop from his 2024 rookie breakout (87 catches, 1,282 yards). Coach Liam Coen still values Thomas’s speed and stretch‑field ability, viewing him as a contingency if starters Parker Washington or Jakobi Meyers go down. While Jacksonville bolstered its defense with three veteran trades, it declined any draft compensation for the former No. 23 pick, believing his athleticism could still aid a potential Super Bowl run.
The Tennessee Titans have signed linebacker Mohamoud Diabate off the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad, according to team reporter Jim Wyatt. The 25‑year‑old, who transferred from Florida to Utah after 2021, went undrafted in 2023, signed with Cleveland, and logged 49 tackles, a forced fumble and a recovery in 17 games for the Browns in 2025. After becoming a restricted free agent, Cleveland declined to tender him, leading to a brief stint on the Panthers’ practice squad before the Titans added him.
Dick Hoak, the former Steelers running back who later served 35 years as a coach and earned five Super Bowl rings—the most in franchise history—has died at 86. Hoak starred for Pittsburgh in the 1960s before joining Chuck Noll’s staff, where he helped the team capture championships in the 1970s and early 2000s. His death marks the loss of a key figure in Steelers lore.
