Scoop City is back to tackle all the biggest QB questions heading into Week 7.🏈 The trade deadline is approaching fast — November 4th — and teams are already positioning themselves as buyers or sellers. Which contenders are ready to make a splash, and which front offices might hit reset? The Athletic's Senior NFL Insider Dianna Russini breaks down what we're hearing around the league.🔥 Chase Daniel's weekly “Cut to the Chase” focuses on Caleb Williams and the Bears, who are rolling — winners of three straight — with Williams showing massive growth under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

Are the Patriots finally building an identity around their rookie QB?😬 Over in Buffalo, the Bills have lost two straight — and the concern level is rising. Can Josh Allen and Joe Brady fix the offense before things spiral?
