The Patriots move on to Week 8, where they are scheduled to take on the Cleveland Browns. With New England playing rather well amid what has turned out to be an incredibly easy schedule thus far, the franchise is well on its way to potentially compete in the playoffs.
Cam Ward’s fired-coach bump was short-lived as he commits unfathomable blooper
Posted October 19, 2025
Cam Ward had a blooper in the third quarter against the Patriots where he fumbled the ball while trying to pass it.
The Tennessee Titans came into the week looking for a fresh start after firing head coach Brian Callahan. They may have to wait another week, because much of the same stuff that has happened over the week occurred in their matchup against the New England Patriots.
Cam Ward played a hand in what was a rough loss, and in the third quarter, he had a crazy play where he tried to pass the ball, but it fumbled out of his hands, just for the Patriots to scoop it up and score a touchdown.
It's not something that you see all the time, but unfortunately, it happened to the rookie. This is just one of the many things that have hurt the Titans this season, and their record shows it. Neither side of the ball has played well, and it's hard to say that Callahan was the reason for all of their problems.
Nonetheless, Callahan is gone, and the Titans will need to look for a new coach at the end of the season. There are already some names that have been thrown out who could possibly be candidates, which include Arthur Smith, Matt Nagy, Anthony Weaver, and Lou Anarumo. There will probably be more names to come up near the end of the season, and the hope is that they find someone who could be the best fit.
Throughout the past few years, the Titans have done a lot of shuffling when it comes to head coaches and general managers, and it feels like they need to get it right this time, especially with a quarterback like Cam Ward. Outside of the coaching staff, the next thing that the Titans have to do is add more talent on both sides of the ball, so they can truly be competitive for years to come.
Mike Vrabel chants take over Nissan Stadium after Titans demolition
New England Patriots' head coach Mike Vrabel had his name chanted in Nissan Stadium after the big win over the Tennessee Titans.
The New England Patriots advance to a 5-2 record after dominating the Tennessee Titans 31-13 in Week 7. It was a big victory for head coach Mike Vrabel, as it was a win over his former team. After the game was over, Vrabel's name was heard chanting throughout Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
Mike Vrabel's name was chanted by fans in attendance of the game as Patriots quarterback Drake Maye kneeled out the clock, according to Senior Reporter Evan Lazar of Patriots Catch-22. It was salt in the wound for Tennessee to hear its former head coach be praised so much in a bad loss.
“‘Vrabel, Vrabel' chants breaking out in Nashville as the Patriots kneel out the clock. The Pats get rolling in the second quarter to cruise to a 31-13 win over the Titans. New England is now 5-2. They've won four straight, including three in a row on the road.”
The 50-year-old head coach downplayed the chants during the postgame press conference. When asked about it, Mike Vrabel claimed that he was more proud of his players, as the Patriots are figuring out ways to win games.
“That's neither here nor there,” said Vrabel about the chants. “I'm happy for our players. These guys, they're figuring out how to win. They're figuring out how to practice. I guess it's humbling to have these people, whoever that is, want to cheer for us. Whether that's the Patriots or Drake Maye, or me, or anybody else.”
Jets Cornerback Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner Enters Concussion Protocol After 13-6 Panthers Loss
Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner suffered a concussion during a brutal 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Nothing screams Same Old Jets quite like losing to a Panthers team that’s been about as consistent as a broken alarm clock. It’s a serious concern as he is one of their pillars on their defense.
What Happened to Gardner During the Panthers Game?
Gardner’s injury occurred in the second half of what can only be described as an offensive masterpiece—if you’re into watching paint dry or grass grow. The hit sent him straight to the blue medical tent, then eventually to the locker room for further evaluation.
Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed after the game that Gardner has officially entered the NFL’s five-step concussion protocol. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, really. With the Jets already struggling to find their identity this season, losing their lockdown corner is exactly what they needed. But hey, at least the practices are “damn good” right, Aaron Glenn
Gardner’s Path Back to the Field
Gardner will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist to return to action. The concussion protocol isn’t exactly known for its speed—it’s more like waiting for your cable guy to show up during that four-hour window they gave you.
The Jets face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, October 26th, giving Gardner just over a week to work through the protocol. That might sound like plenty of time, but concussion protocols don’t operate on anyone’s schedule except the brain’s. And frankly, given how this Jets season has gone, expecting good news might be asking too much from the football gods.
If Gardner can’t go, Jarvis Brownlee steps into the spotlight as the next man up at outside corner. No pressure there, right? Just covering Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins all game.
Impact on the Jets Defense
Let’s be brutally honest about what Gardner means to this Jets defense. He’s not just their best cornerback—he’s been one of the few bright spots in what’s been a roller coaster season. Heck he even got paid with how great he is on the field.
The Jets defense has already dealt with issues, and losing Gardner is tremendous. They’re facing a Bengals offense that can put up points when healthy, and Joe Flacco being elite. Going into that matchup without your top corner is like showing up to a knife fight with a rubber band. Then again, this team has an inept owner and probably would make the rubber band a paper clip.
The Bigger Picture for New York
This Gardner situation perfectly encapsulates the Jets’ season so far. Just when something positive happens, something else falls apart faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. They can’t seem to catch a break, and now their defensive anchor might be sidelined during a crucial stretch of games.
Gardner’s health obviously takes priority over any football considerations. Concussions aren’t something to mess around with, regardless of how much his absence might hurt the team’s chances. The NFL has made significant strides in player safety, and these protocols exist because they’ve learned from past mistakes.
Looking Ahead
The Jets find themselves in familiar territory—hoping for good news while preparing for the worst. Gardner’s status for next week remains up in the air, floating somewhere between optimism and reality like most of this franchise’s hopes and dreams. If he clears protocol quickly, great. The Jets get their star corner back and can focus on actually winning some football games. If not, they’ll need to adjust their defensive game plan and hope Brownlee can step up when his number gets called.
