Panthers’ Bryce Young left baffled by controversial replay review decision in loss to Broncos

The Carolina Panthers fell to 3-5 after a 28-24 home loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, highlighted by a controversial replay that turned a seemingly incomplete pass into a Broncos interception late in the third quarter. QB Bryce Young said it’s “a first for me in football,” while coach Dave Canales confirmed Broncos head coach Sean Payton dropped a challenge flag before the next snap, nullifying the Panthers’ chance to score.

Jaguars pull off another big trade right after Jessie Bates III deal

The Jacksonville Jaguars stay busy at the trade deadline, adding safety Jessie Bates III from Atlanta and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from New Orleans on the same day. Jacksonville sends a 2028 sixth‑round pick (potentially 2027) to the Saints for Godchaux, who logged 15 tackles and a TFL in eight games this season after stints with the Patriots and Dolphins. The moves aim to bolster a solid defense as the Jaguars push for a playoff run, while rumors linger about wideout Brian Thomas Jr.

Saints trade DT Davon Godchaux to the Jacksonville Jaguars

One day before the NFL trade deadline, the New Orleans Saints send defensive tackle Davon Godchaux to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2028 sixth‑round pick. Godchaux, a Louisiana native and former LSU star, joined the Saints in March 2025 after a trade with New England that sent a seventh‑round pick to the Patriots. Drafted by Miami in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, he has become a reliable run defender. The Jaguars acquire him to bolster their interior line after a season‑ending torn quad sidelined DaVon Hamilton.

TRADE: Jaguars Trade For Saints DT Davon Godchaux

The Jacksonville Jaguars acquire Saints defensive tackle Davon Godchaux in their second deal of the day, following the trade for safety Jessie Bates. Jacksonville sends a conditional 2028 sixth‑round pick (potentially a 2027 pick) to New Orleans to replace nose tackle DaVon Hamilton, who is out for the season. The 31‑year‑old, a former 2017 fifth‑round pick from LSU, is on a minimum salary after restructuring his contract. In 2026 he has logged eight games, 15 tackles and a tackle for loss for the Saints. The move adds depth to Jacksonville’s defensive line at a modest cost.

Shedeur Sanders Breaks Silence on ‘Out of Context’ Saints Comments Amid Viral Backlash

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders faces backlash after his midweek remarks about the New Orleans Saints defense were deemed critical. Following Cleveland’s 23‑22 overtime loss to New Orleans on Nov. 8, Sanders used the post‑game press conference to apologize, saying his comments were taken out of context and that he failed to communicate clearly. Saints DE Carl Granderson confirmed the team heard the remarks, and coach Kellen Moore referenced the video in a meeting. Sanders, who started in place of an injured Deshaun Watson, threw for 297 yards, two TDs and a 39‑yard overtime score, but Cleveland fell to 5‑4 while the Saints improved to 3‑5.

Giants rookie sensation Malik Nabors, who set a franchise record with 109 catches in 2024 and rebounded from a 2025 ACL tear, is firing back at FOX analysts after they criticized his on‑field expressions during the Eagles game. Nabors, now 23, posted a scathing tweet demanding cameras stay off him, insisting his neutral face doesn’t reflect his effort. He’s logged 53 catches for 648 yards and two touchdowns through Week 9 of the 2026 season, including a 12‑reception, 165‑yard effort against New Orleans.

What Does T.J. Paganetti Firing Actually Fix for the Saints?

After a dismal 18-yard, 17-carry game against Pittsburgh, the New Orleans Saints fired run‑game coordinator T.J. Paganetti on Nov. 2 and handed the reins to offensive line coach Brendan Nugent. Paganetti, who helped the Eagles rank second in rushing en route to a Super Bowl LIX win, saw New Orleans linger near the bottom of the league (28th in yards per game, 30th in yards per carry) in 2026. Nugent, known for mixed results on offensive lines with the Saints and Chargers, now leads weekly run structures while RB coach Joel Thomas handles situational planning. Players and head coach Kellen Moore cite communication and schematic issues, not just coaching, as the root cause. The Saints also reclaimed RB Audric Estime off waivers, but the real test will be whether Nugent’s expanded role can finally spark a consistent rushing attack.
