Ben Johnson landing in Chicago brought the hope of an offense that could not only hold its own, but actually damage opponents. Through 1 month of the season, how much of that has come to pass? Coach Dan Casey joins us on Bear Era to answer that very question. Check it out: youtu.be/XxW4VvgAGiM?...

Despite hailing from a city famous for boxing, the Eagles have been completely unable to counterpunch. 😬

Sheil Kapadia @sheilkapadia.bsky.social · 1d

In the second half of the last three games, the Eagles offense has had 19 possessions. They have gone three-and-out on a league-high 58% of them.

13 punts
2 turnovers
2 TDs
2 end of game

Lack of adjustments vs. opposing staffs have been a disaster.

The addition of Alohi Gilman makes this feels quite a bit different. Ravens need secondary help in the short term and that becomes the focus here - rather than just offloading a young rusher for picks out of the blue.

This is... unexpected. It bears watching more closely to see if Eric DeCosta is in "sell mode" (follows this up with other moves), or if this was just a one-off to recoup assets on a player that wasn't figuring into BAL's long-term plans. 🧐

Ian Rapoport @rapsheet.bsky.social · 3d

The Chargers are trading for Ravens edge Odafe Oweh, per me and Mike Garafolo. A major move.

Aged like pretty much everything in the NFL: Not For Long. 🤣

Also gotta say, I'd much rather see the ending we saw last night than the one it looked like we were gonna get early on... that we've seen (what feels like) a hundred times at this point.

Cody is one of the best at breaking down the "how's & why's" of defenses at every level. Want to see him dive even deeper into all the changes Dennis Allen brought to the Bears D? Check out the latest Bear Era podcast!

With what we’ve seen tonight, Allen vs. Maye is going to be appt. viewing for the foreseeable future.

Not sure how the Dolphins walk into work on Monday and just go about their business like it's not all very much over.

Game of inches: a pass barely grazes a defender’s helmet and redirects so it is intercepted. That decides one of the most back-and-forth games of the season. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Chargers with some disaster-ball in the redzone that ends up with a Commanders pick.

Darnold with the Houdini escape and then finds Tory Horton for a TD. Miraculous.

How you know the Bengals are struggling: Ja’Marr Chase has 4 catches… and 3 tackles (all on Browning INTs).

Alex Anzalone with a picture-perfect LB coverage drop for an INT vs. Browning. Nice hands catch.

Lumen is absolutely rocking today. Sunny Fall day with the Hawks playing well… just a classic NFL setting. 💥📣
