**With the NFL trade deadline looming on November 5th, several teams are making moves, while others are battling for playoff contention.**
**The Giants’ offensive struggles continue to be a major concern.** Despite the clear presence of RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., the passing game remains stagnant, with rookie WR Malik Nabers failing to produce big numbers. Darius Slayton’s concussion adds another layer of complexity to their situation, as his status remains unclear.
**Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints have fired head coach Dennis Allen after a disappointing 2-7 start to the season.** Allen, who took over for Sean Payton, never led the Saints to the playoffs during his tenure.
**The Cowboys’ woes continue with a third consecutive loss.** Their struggles against the Atlanta Falcons included a slew of pre-snap penalties and a hamstring injury to Dak Prescott. While the Saints debacle remains their worst loss of the season, the Cowboys are facing an uphill battle to reach the playoffs.
**On a positive note, the Bengals bounced back in a big way with a dominant 41-24 victory over the Raiders.** Joe Burrow, in a “must-win” situation, threw for a career-high five touchdowns, showcasing his impressive leadership and ability to lead his team to victory.
**The trade deadline is expected to be active, with teams looking to make adjustments to their rosters.** The Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones has hinted at potential moves, while other teams like the Patriots (with the return of Christian Barmore) and the Chargers (with the impressive rookie Tarheeb Still) are poised for a playoff run.
