Brian Callahan: We all have to be better on offense, Cam Ward's a part of that

Details
12 October 2025

Things aren't getting any better for the Titans offense.

A week after picking up their first win of the season thanks in large part to an error-filled performance by the Cardinals, the Titans slumped back to their losing ways in Las Vegas. They spotted the Raiders a 17-0 lead and turned the ball over three times en route to a 20-17 loss that dropped them to 1-5 on the season.

The Titans have now scored 83 points this season, which is the lowest total the team has reached through six games since moving to Tennessee and the lowest for the franchise since the 1985 season. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward was responsible for all three of the turnovers and head coach Brian Callahan said the first-overall pick's lack of ball security is one of the areas where he needs to improve if the offense is going to put up better performances.

"I am incredibly discouraged by the outcome," Callahan said at his postgame press conference. "We felt good coming into the game. To not be able to perform well on offense and not be able to score any points and then lose the game is disappointing. We all gotta be better, Cam’s a part of that too. Cam’s gotta play better football as well. We gotta coach better, we gotta play better, all those things. It’s not all just him, but he is a part of it."

Callahan is now 4-19 since becoming the Titans' head coach, so Ward's clearly not the only issue and the Titans will have to figure out if they think Callahan is capable of bringing the kind of improvement that's needed or if another coach is likelier to turn things around in Tennessee. Wherever they come down on that question, they'll be facing a coach who was much more successful with the Titans when Mike Vrabel brings the Patriots to town next Sunday.

Sunday Night Football: Kerby Joseph, Brian Branch both active for Lions-Chiefs

Details
12 October 2025

The Lions will have a pair of key defensive backs available for Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs.

Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch are both active for the Week 6 matchup.

Branch was questionable with an ankle injury and Joseph was questionable with a knee injury. While Branch was limited for two days of practice this week, Joseph did not practice at all.

Receiver Kalif Raymond (neck) is also active for the Lions.

Cornerback Terrion Arnold, linebacker Zach Cunningham, offensive tackle Taylor Decker, cornerback Avonte Maddox, safety Loren Strickland, running back Sione Vaki, and defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo are all inactive for Detroit.

On the other side, left tackle Josh Simmons is inactive as he’s dealing with a personal matter. Jaylon Moore is expected to start at left tackle in Simmons’ stead.

Cornerback Kristian Fulton, tight end Jared Wiley, running back Elijah Mitchell, and defensive end Malik Herring are also inactive for Kansas City.

Jerry Jones did not talk after Sunday's loss to the Panthers

Details
12 October 2025

Jerry Jones is the only owner and/or General Manager in the league to hold court after every game. Or almost every game.

The Cowboys owner did not meet with the media after Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers, Clarence Hill of All City DLLS reports.

Jones rarely misses an opportunity to talk postgame, win or lose, and the reason for skipping Sunday's session is unknown.

In his pregame interview with Kristi Scales of the Cowboys Radio Network, Jones made a joke about Rico Dowdle's warning about the Cowboys' needing to "buckle up" to face him.

"I can't even get our guys to come to the field they're shaking so bad," Jones told Scales, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com.

The Cowboys chose not to re-sign Dowdle in the offseason, letting him leave for the Panthers in free agency. Dowdle, who had more than 200 yards rushing in winning NFC offensive player of the week honors last week, had 239 total yards and a touchdown against his former team.

The Cowboys rank 32nd in total defense and have now allowed 360 rushing yards on 60 carries the past two weeks combined.

Jones doesn't have a history of firing coaches in mid-season or paying them off before their contracts expire. So, defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus might not be in trouble.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed his confidence in Eberflus after the game.

“Matt’s a great coach. Everywhere he’s ever been he’s had good defenses," Schottenheimer said, via Machota. "It’s not just Matt by himself. Matt’s trying. The players are trying. This is not a lack of effort.”
