More treats than tricks: The Arizona Cardinals aren’t scaring anyone at home

A new NFL Stadium Scare Index from Casino Guru ranks State Farm Stadium as the league's least intimidating venue, placing the Arizona Cardinals at the bottom of the list (27.8 points, 32nd of 32). Over the 2021‑25 period, visiting teams win 68.3% of games in Glendale and score a league‑high 25.9 points per contest, while quarterbacks face just 1.80 sacks per game. The Cardinals’ home woes continue with losses to Seattle, Detroit and Denver, extending a 10‑game home losing streak. The data underscores Arizona’s weak home‑field advantage this season.

Shane Steichen Gets Honest Over QB Daniel Jones’ Future Just Days After Chris Ballard’s Firing

After the Indianapolis Colts dismissed GM Chris Ballard on Oct. 19, head coach Shane Steichen says quarterback Daniel Jones will stay the starter despite a dismal 16-10 loss to Minnesota. Jones completed 13 of 22 passes for 108 yards, threw an interception and was sacked four times, marking the team's third straight defeat and a 2‑5 record. Steichen stresses his faith in Jones while noting the poor passing game, leaving backups Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard on the bench. The decision comes as the franchise ponders its future amid contract and injury concerns.

Fans Call Out ‘Atrocious’ National Anthem In Paris, Refs Face Heat Across Games, Jets Player Yells at Teammate & More From NFL Sunday’s Action

Week 7 delivered drama across the NFL, highlighted by the league’s first regular‑season game in France where the Steelers defeated the Saints 16‑10 at Stade de France. Fans slammed the national‑anthem performance and questioned several calls, including a overturned fumble on T.J. Watt. In Nashville, a missed false‑start before Cleveland’s game‑winning field goal sparked Titans fan ire. The Falcons snapped the 49ers’ unbeaten streak, the Bengals rallied from a 13‑0 halftime hole to beat the Ravens 35‑13, and the Vikings moved to 6‑0. Notably, Garrett Wilson shouted at Geno Smith as the Dolphins earned their first win, while J.J. McCarthy guided the Giants to an overtime victory in his debut start.

Giants’ Cam Skattebo calls out NFL double standard after ridiculous penalty during Texans game

The New York Giants are 4-2-1 on the season after defeating the Houston Texans 27-21 on Sunday. It was a great performance for running back Cam Skattebo, as he played a key part in helping his team get the win. However, after the game, Skattebo had some choice words for the NFL after being penalized […] The post Giants’ Cam Skattebo calls out NFL double standard after ridiculous penalty during Texans game appeared first on ClutchPoints .

NY Giants should give their latest call-up a job, not a cameo

The Giants have lifted practice‑squad wideout Jalin Hyatt (No. 13) to the active roster but only for a temporary elevation. After a promising rookie year in 2023 (23 catches, 373 yards, three 40‑yard receptions), his production dropped to just 13 catches for 97 yards in 2024‑25. The author argues the team should assign Hyatt a specific, repeatable role—limited vertical routes—to gauge his release, timing, and ability to get open, rather than using him as a vague depth option. A clear, limited job will reveal whether he merits a larger role, avoiding a one‑off cameo that offers no real evaluation.

Trade Candidate: Teoscar Hernandez

Teoscar Hernández, now a 34‑year‑old Dodger, is listed as a prime trade candidate despite a solid three‑year, $66 million deal that includes club options through 2029. After a breakout 2024 (.272/.339/.501, 33 HR, All‑Star, Silver Slugger, World Series ring) his production dipped to a 105 wRC+ in 2025 and a modest 110 wRC+ in 2026, hampered by a hamstring strain and a post‑injury slump. The Dodgers’ depth—Shohei Ohtani at DH, Kyle Tucker in right, Josué De Paula emerging as a potential left‑field starter, plus entrenched infield talent—makes Hernández expendable, especially with his option unlikely to be exercised. A trade could free cap space and address other roster needs.

NY Giants head into bye week with promising mindset thanks to John Harbaugh’s words

The New York Giants head into their October 25 bye week riding a 4‑2‑1 record after an emotional win, boosted by head coach John Harbaugh’s fiery post‑game pep talk. Harbaugh called the victory a pivotal test for the team’s playoff hopes and warned that the two NFC East games in the next five days – at Philadelphia and against Washington – will dictate the season’s trajectory. He also confirmed rookie JJ McCarthy as the franchise’s permanent starting quarterback, citing his high ceiling over veteran Jameis Winston. The Giants aim to emerge from the break as legitimate NFC East contenders.

NFC Notes: Jalen Hurts, Dennard Wilson, Eagles, Falcons, Giants

The NFL’s chief medical officer praises the Eagles’ cautious handling of Jalen Hurts’ blood‑clot issue, emphasizing diligent diagnosis and patient‑first care. Meanwhile, Falcons defensive line coach Nate Ollie embraces a new attack‑style defense he learned from former Browns DC Jim Schwartz, vowing to stick with it. Giants defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson harshly critiques his unit’s Week 6 tackling woes, labeling missed assignments as “traitorous,” but notes the defense rebounded with a win over the Texans the following Sunday.

New York Yankees' Most Likely Trade Target This Offseason

The Yankees face a bullpen overhaul after closer David Bednar and others enter free agency. MLB Trade Rumors reports that Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller predicts the most likely trade target: Milwaukee reliever Trevor Megill. Megill, an All‑Star with a 1.35 ERA in the postseason and a recent 30‑save season, has one year of team control and an estimated $8 million salary for 2027—far cheaper than Bednar’s expected contract. With Bednar, Paul Blackburn and Ryan Yarbrough hitting free agency, the Yanks are expected to chase Megill to restore elite relief depth.

5 Takeaways From The New York Giants’ Thrilling 27-21 Overtime Victory Over The Houston Texans

The New York Giants snap their road losing streak with a 27-21 overtime win over the Houston Texans on Oct. 25, 2026. Devin Singletary’s 30‑yard walk‑off touchdown caps a game where rookie QB J.J. McCarthy throws for 252 yards with no turnovers, while Cam Skattebo rushes for a career‑high 124 yards and a TD before injuring his leg. The defense forces just 237 yards and limits Nico Collins to six yards, helping the Giants improve to 4‑2‑1. Wideout Malik Nabers records his fourth straight 100‑yard game with seven catches for 111 yards, cementing his elite status despite recent knee surgeries. The victory defies the 10.5‑point underdog odds and positions the Giants as division contenders.

NY Rangers’ Mike Sullivan provides encouraging injury update on Joonas Korpisalo amid goalie struggles

New York Rangers coach Mike Sullivan reports that veteran goalie Joonas Korpisalo is making progress after a lower‑body injury, having skated on Saturday and Sunday. The 32‑year‑old, signed to a two‑year, $4 million AAV deal, could soon back up struggling rookie Dylan Garand, who posts a 1‑3‑1 record, .869 save percentage and 3.4 GAA in his last five games. To shore up the crease, the Rangers also sign 38‑year‑old James Reimer to a one‑year, $850,000 contract, giving Garand occasional relief while starter Igor Shesterkin remains out.

Sal Frelick lives up to Pat Murphy’s “It-factor” comments with Game 2 heroics

Pat Murphy’s pre‑Game 2 hype for Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick proves spot‑on as the 26‑year‑old ties the 2026 World Series with a 408‑foot solo homer in the sixth inning. After falling behind 4‑0 to the Tampa Bay Rays, Frelick’s RBI single and then his first postseason home run erase the deficit, leading Milwaukee to a 5‑4 win and a 2‑0 series lead. The blast ends a 103‑plate‑appearance drought dating back to July 11 and showcases the “it‑factor” Murphy praised, while Cooper Pratt’s follow‑up RBI secures the victory.
