Tuesday is a huge day that will define the direction of things and possibly help write history. Yes, it’s Nov. 5 and the NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m.
So in this week’s edition of the NFL highs and lows we’re going to report on the teams riding a high and looking to be buyers at the trade deadline. And we’re going to give you teams that are definitely sellers at the trade deadline as they’ve recognized the 2024 season has been a significant low.
The high side first
Buyers:
Atlanta Falcons: Things are looking up for the Falcons.

Sunday saw Baltimore blow out Denver and Buffalo win a thriller over Miami. Our reporters reacted to the action.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has taken the meaning of the phrase “Taking a play off” to a completely different level.
Let me state perhaps the most obvious fact about Moore’s responsibility as a receiver: his job is to get open so the quarterback can throw him the ball. That means that he needs to be on the field for that to happen. I know, I know, this is all basic stuff that doesn’t bear mentioning. I agree! Every receiver should know this and do this right if nothing else.
But I bring it up because Moore confirmed yesterday that he struggles with that concept.

The Cowboys will be without Dak Prescott for multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury suffered vs. the Falcons.
Dak Prescott exited the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a hamstring injury. Now the team is saying Prescott should miss multiple weeks as the mull over putting their starting QB on injured reserved.
Cooper Rush is set to take over as Dallas’ QB.
The Cowboys will have to play without their starting QB.
The Bulls are taking a step in the right direction, but they aren’t a title contender and a 2025 first-round pick is not guaranteed.
Jordan Love leads the NFL in interceptions this season. But Matt LaFleur is tired of talking about that.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback struggled on Sunday in a 24-14 loss to the surging Detroit Lions. Love completed 23-of-39 passes for 273 yards and one interception. It wasn’t all on him — his receivers also dropped six passes, thanks a lot to the windy, rainy weather.
But it was Love’s pick-six that proved to be killer, giving the Lions a 14-point lead heading into halftime.

Marshon Lattimore is a hot topic of conversation ahead of the NFL’s 2024 trade deadline. Don’t get excited if you think he’ll land on your team. Such a move would further devastate the Saints salary cap situation in 2025.
The New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen on Monday, but that is only the start of what is needed to turn things around the Big Easy. The Saints are 2-7 and sitting in last place in the NFC South.
