2025 NFL midseason award rankings: MVP, top rookies, coaches | <\/a>ESPN.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Defensive rookie of the year: 1. Abdul Carter, Edge, New York Giants The sacks will come. Carter has only a half-sack to his name through eight games, but the underlying pressure metrics suggest that there\u2019s a lot more happening. He has been the best rookie pass rusher in the NFL, and that has been by a considerable margin. Per NFL Next Gen Stats, Carter has 34 pressures. No other rookie has more than 17. He has 20 quick pressures, the immediate victories that help blow up plays before they form. No other rookie has more than nine, and Carter\u2019s total is third among all players. He hasn\u2019t been excellent against the run, a teamwide problem for a Giants defense that ranks last in EPA per play against designed rushes this season, but Carter\u2019s time is coming. Don\u2019t be surprised if he has a more visible second half.<\/p>\n

Heading into Week 10, Brian Burns leads the NFL with his 11.0 sacks. He\u2019s picked up at least one sack in eight of nine games this season, including three games with multiple sacks. With eight games remaining, Burns is just 1.5 sacks behind his career-high of 12.5 set in his 2022 Pro Bowl campaign. He is also just three tackles for loss behind his high-mark of 17, which he set in both 2022 and 2024. The seventh-year linebacker spoke at the start of training camp about wanting to take his game to another level. It\u2019s safe to say he is doing just that.<\/p>\n

Bears\u2019 ground game demands more from Giants\u2019 disappointing defense | New York Daily News<\/a><\/p>\n

Safety Jevon Holland said it\u2019s about players executing, not about some extra intense level of effort, pride or want-to.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you execute, you do your job, and if you do your job, you make the play,\u201d Holland said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t want to do your job, you\u2019re not executing. If you execute, everything else falls in line. Even if you hate playing run defense, let\u2019s say you\u2019re a three-technique [defensive lineman. If you do your job and get knock back on the guard, you\u2019re creating an advantage for the defense to make a stop. People try to make things more than they need to be. If you do your job, even if you\u2019re not being wildly aggressive, you\u2019ll get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n

NFL Week 10 Preview: Schedule, storylines, matchups to watch | PFF<\/a><\/p>\n

Matchup to watch: Giants CB Cor\u2019Dale Flott vs. Bears WR Rome Odunze The Giants\u2019 defense (62.5 grade; 21st) hasn\u2019t set the world alight in 2025, but a bright spot on the outside has been Cor\u2019Dale Flott (75.9 grade; 7th). Flott has been targeted 39 times, allowing just 21 catches for 246 yards, compiling a 79.6 PFF coverage grade \u2014 the best among Giants cornerbacks, and fifth-highest in the league. Flott will feature against Bears receiver Rome Odunze (71.7 grade; 36th), who leads the Bears in catches (31), yards (473) and touchdowns (five). Flott is yet to give up a touchdown in coverage this season.<\/p>\n

Dart is the first quarterback since 1950 to have five games with a passing and rushing touchdown in their first six career starts. Dart has topped 50 yards rushing in four of his six starts. His ability to run and avoid pressure has been impressive.<\/p>\n

Inside Jaxson Dart\u2019s quest to compete against Chicago and the QB who once replaced him | The Record<\/a><\/p>\n

Jaxson Dart never wanted to leave USC. But like with anything else he has encountered on the football field, Dart was prepared to call an audible.<\/p>\n

He essentially stepped to the line of scrimmage and surveyed the situation, seeing things for what they were.<\/p>\n

Eli Manning Talks Jaxson Dart, Daniel Jones, Giants and Hall of Fame in B\/R Interview | Bleacher Report<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not making many bad decisions,\u201d Manning told Bleacher Report when discussing Dart. \u201cHe\u2019s not making a ton of mistakes, and he does a great job of extending plays and making big plays with scrambles. Those are great, and he has that ability. Now it\u2019s fine-tuning and getting the ball out on time a few more times. Or understanding all the different reads or progressions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s just part of being a young quarterback, it\u2019s going to come with time. Being able to play faster in those moments and when things aren\u2019t there, having the ability to create things. Just having that combination as he becomes more familiar with the offense and the defenses coming after him is going to be exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaxson Dart\u2019s dad reveals Lane Kiffin\u2019s private answer to Giants coaching rumors | New York Post<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we were texting on our Kiffin-Dart family text thread, because I think Boomer Esiason had said something in the media today that maybe they should throw out a potential coaching (offer) to Kiffin, and he just sent it over with a smirk and just said, \u2018It\u2019s too cold in New York for me.\u2019 It\u2019s just kind of funny,\u201d Jaxson\u2019s father, Brandon, told the \u201cBleav in Ole Miss\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

What Giants scout knew he had to get right when it came to Jaxson Dart | New York Post<\/a><\/p>\n

In Part 2 of The Post\u2019s access to Giants scouts, we meet Scott Hamel, the area scout who played a big role in the process that brought Jaxson Dart to the Giants. T. \u201cSwagger is a word that gets tossed around a lot. He\u2019s got the \u201cit\u201d factor, that stuff you can\u2019t teach. Not everybody can handle New York, but he can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where will the Giants pick in the 2026 draft?<\/p>\n

As Giants build around Jaxson Dart, they can create $35 million in cap space with these cuts | <\/a>NJ.com<\/a><\/p>\n

MLB Bobby Okereke ($9 million savings, $5.4 million dead money): He will be 30 when next season opens. It\u2019s the final year of his contract. Will the Giants bring him back? It\u2019s debatable.<\/p>\n

LG Jon Runyan ($9.25 million savings, $2.5 million dead money): He is a virtual lock to be cut. Runyan has mostly flopped since Schoen signed him in free agency before 2024.<\/p>\n

Other players include RB Devin Singletary ($5.25 million savings, $1.25 million dead money), K Graham Gano ($4.5 million savings, $1.25 million dead money), OT James Hudson ($5.5 million savings, $2.3 million dead money) and WR Jalin Hyatt ($1.5 million savings, $272,000 dead money).<\/p>\n

4. New York Giants: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah Fano has been my top-ranked offensive tackle all year \u2014 and, as of now, he\u2019s the only prospect at that position I\u2019d be comfortable taking in the top five. He is an elite athlete who could play either tackle spot (and probably even guard, if need be). The Giants have some exciting young pieces and could be just a few more away from turning a corner.<\/p>\n

D.J. Moore (hip\/groin) and Rome Odunze (ankle\/heel) were both limited on Thursday after they both did not participate in Wednesday\u2019s session. Odunze and Moore are No. 1 and No. 2 in receiving yards for Chicago, with 473 and 403, respectively. Odunze also leads the club with five touchdown receptions.<\/p>\n

Defensive back Kevin Byard (back\/ankle) also returned to practice after he did not participate on Wednesday as a limited participant. Running back Roschon Johnson (back) remained limited.<\/p>\n

Roster Moves: Chicago Bears activate Ogbongbemiga | <\/a>ChicagoBears.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Ogbongbemiga is in his second season with Chicago. The five-year veteran appeared in all 17 games for the Bears last season and shared the team-lead with a career-high 11 total special teams tackles. Since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2021, Ogbongbemiga has appeared in 64 career games for the Chargers (2021-23) and Bears (2024), amassing 27 tackles (16 solo) defensively, including two sacks, and two fumble recoveries in his career.<\/p>\n

2025 NFL midseason report: Questions and stats for each team | <\/a>ESPN.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Second-half storyline: Could the Bears be a playoff team? After a wild finish in Cincinnati, Chicago is 5-3 overall, tied with Detroit for second place in the NFC North and a half-game behind first-place Green Bay. The Bears have the Giants, Browns and Vikings in the next six weeks and could be further in the hunt for a wild-card spot if they come away with wins in those games. The rest of the Bears schedule is difficult (Green Bay twice, at Philadelphia and San Francisco), and their division might not lock up three spots again given the strength of the NFC West this year. But Chicago being contenders for the playoffs in Year 1 under Johnson makes for a must-see TV the next two months.<\/p>\n
