Raiders HC Pete Carroll on the possibility of overseeing a rebuild: โItโs looking like thatโs whatโs necessary.โ โI came in here thinking we were going to turn it right away. I really did. Thatโs not whatโs taken place, unfortunately.โ (via @nickwalt)
JJ McCarthy is only 4,135 passing yards shy from Peyton Manningโs single season passing yards record. Something to watch ๐
Rookie WR Emeka Egbuka on the state of the Buccaneers: "We are going to get in the building and hash out what needs to be hashed out & fix all of the problems that there are. Because there are problems." ๐ณ (via @thechrismathis)
The Panthers are 2nd in the NFC South with the same record as the first-place Bucs (7-7). Their next three opponents: ๐น vs. Buccaneers ๐น vs. Seahawks ๐น @ Buccaneers Ironically, these two stand between them and their first playoff berth since 2017:

Wild but true: "Backup" RB Kenneth Gainwell leads all Steelers pass-catchers in receptions this season (57). RB1 SZN ๐
A potential firing of Bengals HC Zac Taylor, DC Al Golden, and GM Duke Tobin "sounds very unlikely right now," per @pauldehnerjr Worth noting: Joe Burrow expressed โa lot of confidenceโ in the coaching staff and front office earlier this week. Cincinnati is 4-10 on the season.
Congrats on advancing to the next round of the fantasy playoffs if you had these players ๐คฏ
