The NFL season continues to deliver drama both on and off the field as teams approach the midway point of the 2025-26 campaign. According to The Justice, the league is experiencing unprecedented chaos and contention through seven weeks of play.
The Philadelphia Eagles are riding high after crushing the New York Giants in a rematch, improving their record to 6-2. JAKIB Sports reports that the Eagles are getting the green light to make aggressive moves at the upcoming trade deadline as they position themselves as legitimate contenders.
Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins' season has completely derailed. The team that entered the year with Super Bowl aspirations now sits at 1-6 after being pummeled by the Cleveland Browns. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw four interceptions in just one half and barely reached 100 passing yards. With star receiver Tyreek Hill out indefinitely with a leg injury, serious questions are emerging about both Tagovailoa and head coach Mike McDaniel's futures with the franchise.
The Kansas City Chiefs are battling through their own adversity. Despite Patrick Mahomes overcoming an unprecedented start in their latest game, the team has been involved in controversy stemming from a Week 6 matchup against Detroit.
That brings us to the biggest controversy of the season. Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch was suspended for one game after a postgame altercation with Chiefs players. According to Marca, Branch hit Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in the facemask after the game, sparking a brawl that spilled both benches onto the field. Smith-Schuster left with a bloody nose as Branch was escorted to the tunnel.
The NFL deemed Branch's actions an aggressive, non-football act, and his appeal was rejected. But the real controversy erupted when NFL Films released a video showcasing Branch's mistakes and penalties from the game. Lions players rallied to their teammate's defense, with cornerback DJ Reader questioning why the league would continue promoting the incident if they truly wanted to put it to rest. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown called the video unnecessary and deceitful. The backlash was so intense that NFL Films deleted the posts and issued a written statement.
Branch, who admitted his reaction was childish and that he should have kept his cool, has received overwhelming support from his Detroit teammates. Some wore his number during practice as a show of solidarity.
Looking ahead, the November 4th trade deadline is rapidly approaching. NFL.com reports that the 2025 season has already seen significant action, including the blockbuster trade that sent Micah Parsons from Dallas to Green Bay. With several playoff hopefuls underperforming and nearly one-third of the league sitting at two wins or fewer, the conditions exist for one of the most active trade deadlines in recent memory.
The Broncos and Colts continue showing they belong atop the AFC, while Baltimore sits at just one win heading into a Thursday night matchup against Miami.
