Amon-Ra St. Brown on fourth-down drop: Should have caught it, went right through my hands

Details
13 October 2025

One of the major turning points of Sunday night's game came when the Lions went for it on fourth-and-2 with 2:46 remaining in the second quarter. Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw to wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who failed to catch the pass.

If St. Brown had caught the pass, the Lions would have had an excellent opportunity to drive down the field and score a touchdown before halftime, which would have given them a 17-6 lead. Instead, it was the Chiefs who took over on downs and marched down the field and scored a touchdown before halftime to lead 13-10.

After the game, St. Brown acknowledged that he had fallen short on a big opportunity.

"I should have caught it. It went right through my hands and through my legs. I should have caught it," St. Brown said.

Goff threw 10 passes to St. Brown on Sunday night, and that was the only one he didn't catch. But the Chiefs held him to just 45 receiving yards on a night when they largely kept him from making big plays. And on what could have been his biggest play of the game, he came up empty handed.

Vikings open 21-day practice window for Blake Cashman

Details
13 October 2025

Help is on the way for the Vikings' defense.

Minnesota has opened linebacker Blake Cashman's 21-day practice window as he returns from a stint on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

Cashman suffered the injury in Minnesota's Week 1 victory over the Bears.

Cashman is in his second season with Minnesota after recording 112 total tackles with 4.5 sacks in 2024.

"Will be great to get 'Cash' back on the practice field," head coach Kevin O'Connell said in his Monday press conference, via Lindsey Young of the team’s website. "He's done a heck of a job getting himself ready to go, and we'll give him the week of preparation and see where he's at toward the tail end of the week.”

While edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel is progressing with his neck injury, O’Connell was unable to give a timeframe for his return.

“He's going to be working on a side field early on this week," O'Connell said. "And then what I see is, you know, his workload hopefully picking up as we go. I don't really have an update on his availability for Sunday yet. Want to kind of see how he does with some of that side-field work.”

Van Ginkel has not played since the Week 3 win over the Bengals.

The Vikings are expecting J.J. McCarthy (ankle), Donovan Jackson (wrist), Michael Jurgens (hamstring), and Brian O'Neill (knee) to all practice in some capacity over the coming days as Minnesota gets set to host Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon.

Who will be the Titans' interim head coach?

Details
13 October 2025

The Tennessee Titans have announced that coach Brian Callahan is out. The Titans have not yet announced his interim replacement.

There aren't many obvious candidates on the current coaching staff. Callahan's father, Bill, has head-coaching experience (he took the Raiders to the Super Bowl in 2002), but it would be awkward, to say the least, for the team to give him the keys. Or for the elder Callahan to take them.

Former Chargers coach Mike McCoy serves as a senior offensive assistant in Tennessee, so he could take the reins for the remainder of the season.

The Titans also could go outside the building, like the Colts did in 2022, hiring former Colts center Jeff Saturday. And, unlike Saturday, there's a former Titans great who currently is coaching a mid-major college program — and who was interviewed for an NFL job in the most recent cycle.

Eddie George.

Whether he'd leave Bowling Green is a different issue. His buyout would be in the range of $2 million. But he'd be in line for a significant pay increase, since he's making roughly $600,000 per year in his current gig.

Then there's Mike McCarthy. He had no buyout in Dallas, and he's available immediately. He and Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker worked together in Green Bay, for multiple years.

Regardless, the Titans didn't announce the interim coach at the time they announced the firing of the current one. With a game against former Patriots coach Mike Vrabel only six days away, the clock is ticking. Loudly.
