The race for the single-season sack record is heating up as Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns continues his impressive performance on the field. After another sack against the San Francisco 49ers, Garrett has now recorded a sack in six consecutive games, bringing his total to 19 sacks in just 12 games this season.
Despite Garrett”s remarkable achievements, the Browns find themselves struggling with a disappointing record of 3-9. The situation is equally dire for the Washington Commanders, who suffered an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos, leaving them at 3-9 in head coach Dan Quinn”s second season. However, there is a silver lining as second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels, last year”s Offensive Rookie of the Year, is set to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings following a long injury absence.
The collegiate football landscape is buzzing as the conference championship and playoff season unfolds. Several NFL teams are closely evaluating the upcoming 2026 quarterback class, but no clear standout has emerged yet. Notable prospects include Indiana”s Fernando Mendoza, who has led the Hoosiers to an undefeated record, Oregon”s Dante Moore, known for his impressive arm talent but still young at 20, and Alabama”s Ty Simpson, who brings strong SEC experience. Teams like the Raiders, Browns, and Jets are likely to be in the market for a quarterback during this draft.
In other league news, the Dallas Cowboys are in a challenging position after a 44-30 defeat to the Detroit Lions, leaving them at 6-6-1. Their defense has struggled significantly, raising concerns about their playoff prospects. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers, now sitting at 7-6 after a victory over the Los Angeles Rams, are emerging as a potential playoff contender thanks to the strong performance of third-year quarterback Bryce Young.
The Minnesota Vikings, with a disappointing 4-8 record, share the spotlight of disappointment this season. Rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy has endured a rough start, tallying 10 interceptions in his first six games. The pressure is mounting on head coach Kevin O”Connell as he tries to steer the team back on course.
The upcoming matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers promises to be intense, with significant playoff implications. Bears head coach Ben Johnson recently fueled the rivalry with a pointed comment about Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. The Bears are vying for a playoff spot and are coming off a crucial win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
As the season progresses, the Cincinnati Bengals are regaining their form with quarterback Joe Burrow back in action, leading to a decisive victory over the Baltimore Ravens. With the 8-4 Buffalo Bills facing vulnerabilities, the Bengals could be well-positioned to challenge them in an upcoming showdown.
On the other hand, the Arizona Cardinals are struggling, having lost four straight games, and now face the wrath of the Los Angeles Rams after their six-game winning streak was snapped by the Panthers. With former QB1 Kyler Murray out for the season, the Cardinals will rely heavily on backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
