Von Miller left the Washington Commanders wanting another go-around with the franchise in 2026. The aging edge rusher thought he was joining a Super Bowl contender, and even though things didn't work out that way, he outlined his desire to help get this storied club back on track. It didn't take long for that to change, which could hint that a difficult conversation has already taken place between Miller and those in positions of power.

The NFC West sent three teams to the playoffs, with the Los Angeles Rams visiting the NFC South champion Carolina Panthers -- whom they lost to in Week 14 -- and the San Francisco 49ers visiting NFC East champions Philadelphia Eagles. The NFC North's Green Bay Packers and division champion Chicago Bears will face off in an intra-division showdown.

Sometimes, the punching bag punches back. That was the case Sunday as the Chargers, playing their backups, put up an impressive fight against the division-rival Denver Broncos, vying for the top seed in the AFC. The Broncos won, 19-3, but both teams were smothering on defense while failing to establish anything close to an offensive rhythm. The seventh-seeded Chargers (11-6) will play a wild-card game at second-seeded New England (14-3), which rolled over Miami, 38-10, in Sunday's finale.

Today's minor moves: Atlanta Falcons Cincinnati Bengals Denver Broncos Philadelphia Eagles Tampa Bay Buccaneers is being temporarily let go by the Broncos, but the 41-year-old tight end won't be a free agent for long. According to Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post, Lewis is expected to quickly land back on Denver's practice squad. However, the team may have some difficulty adding him back to the active roster.

Believe it or not, Week 14 of the NFL season is already upon us, and the playoff picture has started to take shape. The NFC is by far the most competitive conference. In the NFC North and NFC West, three teams each conference are tied or nearly tied at the top of the division, making the playoff race an exciting one to watch.

The team is 8-2 through their first 10 games after a 10-7 win on TNF. Las Vegas scored the first touchdown of the game in Week 10 and went up 7-0. However, Denver's defense held the Raiders scoreless for the remainder of the game. The Broncos' offense struggled as well, but scored 10 points, and the team won. Through their first 10 games in 2025, the Broncos have 46 sacks. They are on pace to break the NFL record for sacks in a season.

"You're never out of the fight," Broncos quarterback Bo Nix said.

Through eight games in the 2025 season, the Denver Broncos are 6-2. The team has won five straight after starting the year 1-2. Denver beat the Cowboys 44-24 in Week 8. During that win vs. Dallas, Broncos All-Pro CB Patrick Surtain suffered a pectoral injury late in the second quarter. Surtain did not return for the rest of the game. On Monday, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that Patrick Surtain is expected to miss four weeks due to injury.

Patrick Surtain is expected to miss time with a pectoral injury sustained in the second quarter Sunday, veteran insider Jordan Schultz reports. A four- to six-week timetable is being floated here, via Schultz, though the reigning Defensive Player of the Year is ticketed for a second opinion. Either way, it appears the Broncos' defense will be dealt a significant blow.
