By now, it’s no secret that a player’s mistakes are often amplified when their team loses. While one person is hardly ever to blame, players like Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith make it a point to take accountability if they fall short in big moments.
For Smith, that moment came on Sunday after the Eagles (5–1) fell to the Jets (3–3), 20–14, for their first loss of the season.

The war of words between Deebo Samuel and C.J. Gardner-Johnson went to another level on Sunday.
The latest in the feud between the two players, which goes back to last season’s NFC championship game, Lions defensive back called out Samuel’s toughness following a brawl during warmups between the Browns and 49ers.
A clip of the fight, which went viral after being posted to X (formerly Twitter) by @NFLonFox, shows Samuel fighting with several Browns players before teammate Trent Williams joined the fracas.
Kendrick, 23, has started all six of the Rams’ games this season.
HBO’s Hard Knocks showed NFL fans that Jets’ coach Robert Saleh is building a new culture for a franchise that has struggled to find an identity since the days of the “Sack Exchange.”
On Sunday, the Jets earned perhaps the biggest “signature” win in Saleh’s tenure by upsetting the previously unbeaten Eagles. During the win, the coach’s captivating enthusiasm was on full display.
Quincy Williams, in the midst of a Pro Bowl season, was flying all over the field, recording a game-high 12 tackles.
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill suffered an injury during the team’s loss in London to the Baltimore Ravens. Backup quarterback Malik Willis took over and completed 4-of-5 passes but took four sacks. That performance, apparently, isn’t enough to convince head coach Mike Vrabel that he should start over rookie Will Levis.
The Titans drafted Levis in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft after he slid down the draft board. Willis beat out Levis for backup duties — barely — behind Tannehill.
Los Angeles Rams cornerback and ex-Georgia standout Derion Kendrick, 23, was arrested Monday morning for carrying a firearm in his vehicle. The arrest news, first relayed by TMZ Sports, came as a surprise announcement — arriving within the day that the Rams defeated the Arizona Cardinals.
Police stopped Kendrick at 2:14 a.m. (PDT) concerning a traffic violation and found the firearm in his vehicle upon further search. As of Monday afternoon, Kendrick remains in custody. He faces a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon.
Dak Prescott and Dallas need to improve after a tough loss in Week 5, but the Chargers are fresh off a bye week and looking to keep their win streak going.
One indication that the Marlins made the wrong decision in not committing more strongly to general manager Kim Ng is how quickly baseball fans and media wanted her to be hired for other top team executive jobs.
Soon after news of Ng leaving Miami was reported, several reporters suggested she would be an ideal candidate for the Red Sox front office. Boston fired chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom one month ago and has not yet named a replacement.
Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill sustained an ankle injury during the Week 6 loss against the Ravens, but it doesn’t seem that he’s at risk of losing his job as Tennessee’s starter.
On Monday, Mike Vrabel discussed Tannehill’s ailing ankle and indicated that so long as the veteran is healthy, he’d be the Titans’ starting quarterback, per Jim Wyatt of Titans.com.
With a bye week looming, Tannehill will have some additional time to recover from the ankle injury, and Vrabel clarified that he expects the 35-year-old to start in Week 8.
Raiders defensive tackle Adam Butler was not pleased about Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s failure to acknowledge him after the team’s 21–17 victory on Sunday.
Butler spent four seasons with New England, signing as an undrafted free agent in 2017 following a two-hour meeting with Belichick. Although the Patriots (1–5) lost their third consecutive game in Week 6 and registered the organization’s worst start in a season since ’95, the 29-year-old was “upset” that his former coach could not “say anything” to him after the game.
