VIDEO: NYC Police Release Witness Video From Early Sunday Shooting, A Warning for Eagles Players

Officers maintain a security cordon after New York Jets NFL cornerback Kris Boyd was shot and critically hurt outside a restaurant in Midtown,...

New York has been shaken after the NYPD released a witness video showing the early Sunday morning shooting. What alarmed the Philadelphia Eagles community is that the victim, Kris Boyd, a 29 year old cornerback for the New York Jets, once spent time on the Eagles practice squad and still maintains close connections with several members of the team.

According to police reports, the incident occurred around 2 a.m. near West 38th Street and Seventh Avenue. The witness video captures the chaotic moment outside the Sei Less restaurant as a confrontation escalated seconds before gunshots rang out.

Kris Boyd was shot in the abdomen and collapsed in critical condition. Witnesses say he drifted in and out of consciousness before being taken to Bellevue Hospital. He remains in critical but improving condition.

Upon hearing the news, members of the Philadelphia Eagles coaching staff rushed to the hospital late at night to provide support for their former teammate. This gesture reflects the strong bonds within the NFL community despite team affiliations.

The incident has deeply concerned the Eagles because the location is a popular spot for many NFL athletes. The fact that a former practice squad player was shot in the heart of New York City serves as a sobering warning.

The Eagles chairman shared a powerful message:

“No one is immune to danger. Players must protect themselves because one wrong moment can change an entire life.”

Sei Less stated that the shooting took place outside after the restaurant had closed. The suspect fled the scene in a BMW X6 and police are still investigating.

For the Eagles, this incident is not merely tragic news but a serious reminder about off field safety, especially when players go out at night in crowded or unpredictable areas.

Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
