Some unfortunate injury news for the New Orleans Saints secondary, as safety Justin Reid has been ruled out for the remainder of the game with a concussion. The injury further depletes a Saints defensive backfield that’s already been battling depth issues at both safety and corner.

Adding insult to injury, New York Giants linebacker Marcus Tate was overheard mocking Reid post-play, reportedly calling him "weak" and "soft like a lady," suggesting that "a little bump like that shouldn’t take him out." Tate further taunted, saying Reid "doesn’t belong in football" and should "go home to his wife." The comments have sparked outrage among Saints fans, who view Tate’s remarks as unsportsmanlike and disrespectful.

With Reid sidelined, third-year safety Jordan Howden steps in to fill the void, now lining up alongside rookie Jonas Sanker for the rest of the game. Look for more snaps from veteran backup Terrell Burgess, too, who had a great play breaking up an underthrown ball from Jaxson Dart deep downfield. The trio will be tasked with holding down the back end of the defense as the Saints look to overcome yet another key injury on the defensive side of the ball.

Eagles Fans Furious After Refs Miss Obvious Holding Call on Final Play vs. Broncos
The Philadelphia Eagles’ first loss of the season has left fans enraged — not just because of the narrow 21-17 score, but because of what many are calling a blatant officiating failure. With just eight seconds left in the game, Jalen Hurts delivered a perfect 40-yard throw to tight end Dallas Goedert, putting the Eagles in position for a potential game-winning touchdown. However, Goedert appeared to be held by Broncos defensive back No. 34 as he reached for the ball, causing him to miss what could have been the play of the night. Replay footage clearly showed the defender grabbing Goedert’s arm and restricting movement, but to the disbelief of everyone watching — no flag was thrown. The call (or lack thereof) instantly went viral, as slow-motion clips spread across social media with thousands of Eagles fans demanding accountability from the NFL’s officiating crew. “This was a textbook defensive hold — how do you miss that?” one fan wrote on X. Others accused referees of inconsistency, pointing out that earlier in the game, Eagles cornerbacks were penalized for far lighter contact. The missed call ended Philadelphia’s hopes of remaining undefeated, and frustration spilled over from the fanbase to the locker room. Players reportedly left the field visibly upset, knowing that one non-call may have changed the outcome of the game. As the NFL continues to face scrutiny over its officiating standards, this controversial ending will no doubt remain a sore point for Eagles Nation.
