I spent some time this summer with Derek Stingley Jr., who had absolutely no interest in talking about the best plays of his career…but had plenty to say about the almost-mades that haunt him.

Meet the REAL Derek Stingley Jr., the Texans' QB-baiting shutdown corner
Stingley has 14 interceptions since 2022, but he doesn't want to talk about them. He is much more interested in the plays he almost made.

The Cardinals have 15 accepted penalties against them against the 49ers, which is the most penalties a team has committed in a game this season.

(There are 5 minutes left in the third quarter)
November 16, 2025 at 11:15 PM
With 1 minute left in the first quarter, Rams RB Kyren Williams already has more rushing yards (76) than any other running back has had against the Seahawks in a game this season
November 16, 2025 at 9:41 PM
(The Panthers are a half-game back of the Bucs in the NFC South)
November 16, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Falcons with back-to-back overtime games and a trip back home from Germany in the middle. That's just brutal on the body.

Both @benjaminsolak.bsky.social and I expect Kelvin Sheppard--one of the smartest young defensive minds in the NFL--to change up the Lions' tendencies vs Philly on SNF.

Discussed the matchup on the pod!
