BREAKING: Tyler Shough’s Shocking Post-Game Revelation

In the aftermath of the New Orleans Saints’ devastating 34-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, rookie quarterback Tyler Shough dropped a bombshell during his post-game interview, leaving fans and analysts alike in utter disbelief. The 2025 second-round draft pick didn’t hold back when discussing the game and his performance, suggesting that something much bigger was at play.

"Honestly, I knew something was off. We didn’t stand a chance. I felt like we were set up to fail. The game plan wasn’t right, and the team wasn’t behind me the way they should have been. I’ve been in enough locker rooms to know when things don’t add up — and today, nothing added up."

Shough’s candid admission has sparked waves of controversy, with fans questioning whether there’s more going on behind the scenes than just a poor performance. The rookie signal-caller seemed to imply that the Saints were doomed from the start, suggesting that the loss wasn’t just due to the Rams’ talent but possibly to a

lack of support from within the team itself.

His words come after a game where the Saints were completely overwhelmed, failing to generate any rhythm on offense. Shough completed 15 of 24 passes

for 176 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception. The Saints’ offense struggled to move the ball, and a lack of a solid game plan appeared to be a central issue, with the Rams dominating both sides of the ball.

Shough’s comments are even more striking given the high expectations surrounding his transition from college to the NFL. The Saints, having benched Spencer Rattler earlier in the season, were relying on Shough to lead them through a rebuilding year. However, with the team now sitting at

1-8, questions have arisen about the overall direction of the franchise. Was this loss a result of poor coaching and preparation, or is there something more sinister at play?

Many fans and analysts are now wondering whether Shough’s frustration stems from a deeper issue within the Saints' organization. Some have speculated that the team’s coaching decisions under head coach

Kellen Moore might be contributing to the confusion and lack of cohesion in the locker room. Was the game plan ineffective, or were the players simply not bought into it
?

Moreover, Shough’s words add fuel to the fire of speculation that the Saints may have quietly embraced a rebuilding year, focusing on future draft picks rather than pushing for immediate success. The team’s struggles, paired with Shough’s blunt assessment of the situation, have led to whispers that the Saints could be

tanking for a higher draft position.

As the Saints prepare for their next matchup, against the Carolina Panthers, the questions surrounding the future of the team loom larger than ever. Will Shough’s comments spur a change in approach, or will the team continue down the current path, with more growing pains ahead?

The clock is ticking for the Saints, and Tyler Shough’s statement has only made one thing clear: this team needs to find a way to rally together — fast. Without a clear direction or solid support, it’s hard to see how they’ll get out of this spiral.

Cowboys Willing to Trade Ex-First Round Pick Before Deadline: Insider

The NFL trade deadline is only a couple days away, with the buzzer sounding on Tues. Nov. 4. As the deadline approaches, the Dallas Cowboys seem to be as aggressive as any team in the league, with the America’s Team intent on upgrading its squad on the defensive side of the football.

Even though the Cowboys have one of the best offenses in the NFL right now, with star quarterback Dak Prescott having one of the best seasons of his career, the team hasn’t been able to recover defensively since trading superstar linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers before Week 1.

That said, the Cowboys have been scouring the league looking for defensive upgrades, with the team seemingly willing to trade a former first-round draft pick.

Cowboys Willing to Trade Defensive Tackle Mazi Smith

The Cowboys’ efforts to make trade and improve defensively have fallen flat. However, that could change over ahead of the NFL trade deadline, as the team is reportedly willing to make defensive tackle Mazi Smith, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Dallas Cowboys have been in just about every trade article known to man, and this one is no exception. While they might not pull off another blockbuster like when they dealt Micah Parsons at the end of August, they are in the market for a pass rusher, sources say. Arden Key, the Dolphins’ Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb, and the Raiders’ Malcolm Koonce are among the edge rushers who could be traded. Dallas also appears to be open to trading 2023 first-round DT Mazi Smith, who has only played in five games this season.

It remains to be seen whether any teams bite on trade offers from the Cowboys, but they might get teams a bit more intrigued with the willingness to add a promising young player, even if it is a player from the defense that they are trying to improve.

Will Cowboys Make a Move Ahead of the NFL Trade Deadline?

There seems to be no shortage of notable defensive players around the NFL that could be available ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4. The Cowboys are fully aware of this and are doing everything in their power to acquire a potential game-changer for their defense to help make a playoff run during the second half of the 2025 campaign.

The real question is whether any of these potential defensive game-changers will be traded ahead of Tuesday’s deadline and which player will the Cowboys have the opportunity to get their hands on.

Among the players mentioned frequently ahead of the NFL trade deadline are Trey Hendrickson (Cincinnati Bengals), Bradley Chubb (Miami Dolphins), Malcolm Koonce (Las Vegas Raiders) and Jaelen Phillips (Miami Dolphins). There’s a chance that one of these players could be Dallas bound before the buzzer sounds on the deadline.

Las Vegas Raiders superstar defensive end Maxx Crosby has also been a trade target for the Cowboys, Las Vegas has been adamant about keeping him.
