🎤 What’s the state of quarterbacks across the NFL right now? Can Caleb Williams keep elevating the Chicago Bears’ offense? What coach is the perfect fit for rookie Cam Ward in Tennessee? And what’s really wrong with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills offense? Scoop City is back to tackle all the biggest QB questions heading into Week 7.
🏈 The trade deadline is approaching fast — November 4th — and teams are already positioning themselves as buyers or sellers. Which contenders are ready to make a splash, and which front offices might hit reset? The Athletic's Senior NFL Insider Dianna Russini breaks down what we're hearing around the league.
🔥 Chase Daniel's weekly “Cut to the Chase” focuses on Caleb Williams and the Bears, who are rolling — winners of three straight — with Williams showing massive growth under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. His pressure-to-sack rate has been cut in half from his rookie year, and he’s on pace to top 4,000 yards, something no Bears QB has ever done.
💪 Meanwhile, Drake Maye and the Patriots have quietly won three straight of their own. If Maye hits 200+ passing yards with a 100+ passer rating again this week, he’ll join Patrick Mahomes as the only under-24 QBs to do it in six straight games. Are the Patriots finally building an identity around their rookie QB?
😬 Over in Buffalo, the Bills have lost two straight — and the concern level is rising. Can Josh Allen and Joe Brady fix the offense before things spiral? The crew debates what’s really plaguing one of the league’s most talented rosters.
⚔️ In Tennessee, the Brian Callahan firing shakes up everything for Cam Ward. How does the move impact his development — and why have the last four No. 1 overall picks all lost their head coach during their rookie season? The team dives into what’s next for the Titans and their young QB.
💬 Plus, The Athletic’s Chris Branch joins for another edition of The Pulse to debate a big question: Would you rather be the Eagles or Chiefs at this point of the season?
