The Green Bay Packers break their trade‑deadline silence by adding tight end Kenny Fletcher Jr. to the practice squad, while no trades occur. Fresh off a historic 45‑point, 450‑yard win over the New England Patriots—Jordan Love threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns—the 6‑3 Packers aim to return to the playoffs. Running back Josh Jacobs is sidelined for up to three weeks after finger surgery, and the team remains last in the NFC North despite a winning record. Their next challenge is a Sunday showdown with the Minnesota Vikings, who just acquired veteran QB Kirk Cousins.
Dianna Russini returns to X on November 10, 2026, breaking the Kirk Cousins trade story that later confirms, yet fans flood her post with criticism tied to the April 2026 Mike Vrabel controversy. Images of Russini and the Patriots coach sparked ethics questions, leading to her resignation from The Athletic. Despite an interview with People and the launch of her new weekly show, The Russini Report, on BetUS TV (Nov 11), many commenters doubt her sources and journalistic credibility, showing a mixed reception to her comeback.
Tyrese Maxey says LeBron James instantly eased the Sixers' ball‑movement concerns, noting that James' willingness to pass set a tone that encouraged teammates like Joel Embiid to do the same. After a 9‑2 start, Coach Nick Nurse credits James and Embiid for fostering a selfless style that fuels the team's defensive grit and scoring from Maxey and Jaylen Brown. Despite the early success, the Sixers still face rebounding issues, bench scoring limits and backup center questions, which Boston Celtics opponent Jaylen Brown warns could surface later.
Jaylen Brown feels disrespected by the Boston Celtics after his trade to Philadelphia, but Brad Stevens had to make the best business move for the franchise.
The Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid-James Harden drama from years ago feels quite similar the Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown fallout.
The New England Patriots sit idle as the NFL trade deadline passes, making no deals after six league-wide trades. Sitting at 5-4, the Vrabel-led squad neither adds nor loses players via trade, with the only recent roster move being the release of rookie TE Tanner Arkin. The Patriots now must turn to free agency, waivers, or practice‑squad pickups while hoping injured players—OT Greg Van Roten, WR Romeo Doubs, and guard Alijah Vera‑Tucker—return soon. Ongoing injuries to A.J. Brown, Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson keep the depth chart thin. Meanwhile, the Vikings acquire QB Kirk Cousins, setting up a repeat matchup against New England in Week 14.
The Patriots had a chance to reunite their quarterback with his favorite college playmaker before the trade deadline.
Tyler Herro lands on the Milwaukee Bucks' injury report after hurting his right knee in the loss to the Boston Celtics on Nov. 8. The 2024 All-Star fell on the baseline after a collision with Derrick White, made two free throws, and exited early in the fourth quarter. Coach Taylor Jenkins says Herro feels fine and hopes he'll be cleared for Tuesday's matchup against the New York Knicks, though the team may lean on youngsters like Brayden Burries, Nate Ament and Kasparas Jakucionis if he sits out.
The Dallas Cowboys sit idle at the 2026 NFL trade deadline, having made their only roster move—acquiring cornerback Joey Porter Jr.—more than a month earlier. With limited cap space, they keep their draft assets: a first‑round pick (the lower of their own and Green Bay’s), their own second‑rounder, Pittsburgh’s fourth‑rounder from the Broderick Jones deal, and a seventh‑rounder tied to the Nate Thomas trade now owned by the Patriots. With no new air‑carrier reinforcements, the article questions how the 2026 squad will navigate the rest of the season.
Red Sox officials are still undecided on their 2027 shortstop. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow hinted at the possibility of moving on from Trevor Story, whose six‑year, $140 million deal has been marred by injuries and uneven production—only one season of 94+ games and a recent hernia cut his 2026 workload to 64 games. Story’s no‑trade clause and remaining $30 million guaranteed make a deal unlikely. Meanwhile, top prospect Franklin Arias, the #2 prospect in baseball, is excelling in Triple‑A with a .331/.388/.506 line, but Breslow calls a spring‑training promotion “premature.” The Sox could keep Story while grooming Arias, shift Story to second base behind Curtis Mead, or explore external options like Zach Neto or Otto Lopez.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who dazzled last season, spirals into a confidence slump, prompting Green Bay linebacker Micah Parsons to label him a “struggle bus” on a Bleacher Reports podcast. After a 45-27 loss to the Packers—Maye threw three first‑half interceptions despite 299 yards and three touchdowns—Parsons says Maye no longer trusts his teammates or his own instincts. The article highlights Maye’s early mishap against safety Xavier McKinney and stresses that upcoming games will be critical for rebuilding his poise and the Patriots’ offensive chemistry.
Dianna Russini breaks her seven‑month silence, labeling the off‑field affair involving New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel a "runaway train" in her first public comments. The scandal, sparked by photos of the pair at a Sedona resort, led to an internal probe at The Athletic and Russini's resignation in April 2026. While Vrabel, who boasts a 78‑55 coaching record and two Coach of the Year awards, stays silent, the Patriots remain supportive and sit 5‑4 early in the 2026 season. Russini returns to TV with a new NFL show, The Russini Report, on BetUS TV, marking her comeback amid continued media scrutiny.
The Patriots sit at last season’s loss total but still vie for an AFC playoff spot, hampered by early‑season injuries. With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET, New England may pursue a roster overhaul, adding targets like A.J. Brown, Jaylen Reed, Corey Kiner or Walter Rouse, or offloading players as in 2025. Recent rumors include Colts interest in WR Josh Downs, a former teammate of QB Drake Maye, while All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson heads to Seattle for a 2027 third‑round and 2028 fifth‑round pick. The tracker will update as deals develop.
Philadelphia 76ers wing Jaylen Brown was willing to stay with the Boston Celtics even after they attempted to trade him to the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim.
The Boston Celtics still aren't starting Payton Pritchard. There's a strong reason for that.
The Patriots will face a familiar foe in Week 14 as quarterback Kirk Cousins returns to Foxborough, this time wearing a Vikings uniform. Minnesota traded the 38‑year‑old to the Raiders for a 2027 third‑round pick, re‑uniting Cousins with the team where he played from 2018‑2023. He started all nine Raiders games this season, including a 45‑17 loss to New England in Week 5. The Vikings, after a 6‑0 start, have struggled at quarterback with Kyler Murray, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer, but plan to make Cousins the starter for the upcoming primetime clash. Cousins joins an elite group of only eight QBs to face the same opponent twice in one season for different teams.
The Eagles’ recent trade of Jordan Davis to Jacksonville nets a 2027 first‑rounder and a 2029 second‑rounder, adding to an already deep cache of draft capital—including two 2027 first‑round picks, two 2028 first‑rounders (their own and New England’s from the A.J. Brown deal) and multiple 2028 second‑rounders from the Cam Jurgens trade. With a seven‑game losing streak, a porous offensive line and questions at wide receiver and running back, Philadelphia can rebuild by using or flipping these picks, possibly targeting an impact player like a future quarterback (e.g., Justin Herbert). The haul also puts pressure on Jalen Hurts’s future as the team evaluates long‑term options.
The Patriots are now scheduled to face Kirk Cousins for the second time during the 2026 NFL season after the Raiders traded him to the Vikings.
The Patriots fall 45-27 at home to the Packers, snapping a 33‑year streak of allowing fewer than 45 points at Gillette Stadium. New England surrenders 478 yards, with rookie QB Drake Maye throwing three interceptions – his 11th of the season – prompting his own admission that turnovers are costing the team. Former NFL corner Bryant McFadden publicly questions the Patriots’ direction, saying he “doesn’t trust them.” Coach Mike Vrabel calls the loss a historic defeat as the club drops to 5‑4, trailing the Bills in the AFC East. The Patriots now face a tough road test against the NFC’s Detroit Lions on Sunday.

They flag running back Rhamondre Stevenson’s injury and looming trade chatter, weigh A.J. Brown’s possible return against the Lions in Germany, and break down Drake Maye's three interceptions, Christian Gonzalez’s defensive lapses, and persistent offensive‑line protection woes. The hosts question if New England’s season is slipping away amid mounting frustrations, while also touching on trade rumors involving Jonathan Taylor. Listeners get a granular film‑study of the loss and its implications for the Patriots' future.
Interim GM Shawn Horcoff says any Dylan Larkin trade must benefit Detroit, emphasizing the need for assets that help a team stuck at the bottom of the Atlantic Division. Larkin submitted a 10‑team no‑trade list—Florida, Minnesota, Vegas, Carolina, Colorado, Dallas, New Jersey, Tampa Bay, Utah, and Washington—excluding the Boston Bruins and all Canadian markets. Horcoff stresses a win‑win deal and urges immediate improvement for Todd McLellan’s squad while protecting the Red Wings’ future.
The Raiders trade four‑time Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings for a 2027 third‑round pick, sending Cousins back to Minnesota for their playoff push. In return, Las Vegas receives the 2026 No. 1 overall draft pick, Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, who is set to make his first NFL start against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. Mendoza’s only prior regular‑season snaps came in a garbage‑time loss to the Patriots, while veteran Aidan O’Connell remains a backup. The move gives the Raiders a fresh rookie QB to face one of the league’s toughest defenses.
The Bills just made a big-time move that could make it much easier to beat the Patriots when the teams meet again in Week 13.
Jordan Love dazzles the New England Patriots with three touchdown passes in Green Bay’s 41-14 victory. The first TD comes on a 3rd‑and‑5 play where Love uses motion and a clever split‑back to free Matthew Golden for a slant, while Christian Watson clears space. Later, on 3rd‑and‑7, Love hits Savion Williams on a fade after a double‑post decoy by Golden and Watson, extending the lead to 31‑14. The final score is capped by a 1st‑down strike to Watson on a YY Wing set, exploiting safety coverage for a 41‑14 win. The breakdown highlights Love’s footwork, timing and the effective use of motion and bunch formations.
Paul George seems relaxed to be back facing the 76ers as a member of the Celtics. It's hard to think he's not being truthful about that.
