NFL pass-rusher rankings ahead of Week 9 (3. Aidan Hutchinson.  Season Highlights - Most Pressures: Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions.  The Lions were on a bye in Week 8, but Hutchinson’s 48 pressures are still six more than the next closest player, showing how productive he’s been over the first seven games of Detroit’s season.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pass-rusher-rankings-week-9-2025

2025 NFL midseason All-Rookie Team: Best Year 1 players (Offensive line - Tate Ratledge:  Tate Ratledge was chosen over Tyler Booker of the Cowboys, who did not have his best game against the Broncos on Sunday. Both are powerful players who will lean on the opposition in the run game.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-midseason-all-rookie-team-jaxson-dart-tyler-warren-and-emeka-egbuka-among-breakout-stars/

Predicting Week 9 overreactions: Chiefs still reign? (J.J. McCarthy is who we thought he was.  Is J.J. McCarthy any good? The Vikings have handle his ankle injury very cautiously over these last six weeks, having Carson Wentz play through lingering shoulder pain before he was ruled out for the season. Now, the Vikings are forced to play McCarthy -- who is recovered from his ankle injury.  Wentz protected the Vikings from using McCarthy as long as he could, as McCarthy has been the emergency third quarterback over the last few games. The Vikings get the rest of the season to find out if McCarthy can play, or will have to linger with their decision to allow Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones to walk this offseason.  Outside of an incredible fourth quarter against the Bears in Week 1, McCarthy has completed 55% of his passes while committing four turnovers and taking nine sacks. The Vikings haven't gotten what they expected out of McCarthy, but he has 10 games to change the narrative.  Facing the Lions defense isn't a great start.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-9-overreactions-predictions-jj-mccarthy-chiefs-afc-bills/

NFL trade deadline team needs: What should all 32 teams do? (Detroit Lions - Where they are: Since a rough opening day, they’ve generally looked like Dan Campbell’s Lions, new coordinators or not, and are currently a half-game off the Packers' NFC North pace.  What do they need to do? A year after essentially being undone by defensive injuries, they’re dealing with another flurry of them. Practically, with more than $25 million at his disposal, GM Brad Holmes should strongly consider getting more depth for his secondary. Fancifully? Sure would be nice to get another edge rusher to take advantage of the double teams DE Aidan Hutchinson draws.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2025/10/29/nfl-trade-deadline-team-needs-positions-players/86959101007/
