Fast and Furious
Hitch
Hulk
Maxx Crosby, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Saquon Barkley, Ja'Marr Chase, Dan Campbell, Jayden Daniels, Micah Parsons, and Justin Jefferson look like playable characters from GTA Vice City
Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby enthusiastically holds the gridiron football in his hand. The Eiffel Tower and the lighted streets of Las Vegas are in the background.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen humbly carries the gridiron football, and the Highmark Stadium and residential and snowy streets occupy his background.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson calmly clutches the gridiron football, aiming for a TD, with a shop selling crab cakes and high towers in the background.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley grapples the gridiron football as if he'd never let it go! Just like he didn't in the Super Bowl LIX! Anyway, here, on the NFL version of the GTA front cover, Barkley is surrounded by a shop selling cheesecake! Interestingly, that's how he'd celebrated his Super Bowl LIX win! Wow. GTA characters created by NFLonFOX are so, so, so, real.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase controls the gridiron football in his hand, as if it were a crystal ball! Chase has a camouflaged Bengal tiger in the background, with a nice sunset in a dense forest. But the dense forest further has skyscrapers - probably depicting green life encroachment by skyscrapers!
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell looks hopeful for a Super Bowl LX win. Super Bowl LIX wasn't his, but LX could be his! Campbell has Ford Field in the background. That's where his team plays loudest! And, he loves the unwavering support of his Detroit Lions fanbase there.
Washington Commanders rookie(no longer a rookie now) quarterback Jayden Daniels does not hold a gridiron football. Daniels has crossed his hands, depicting self-confidence! He has the Peace Monument and cherry blossoms of Washington D.C. in the background.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is also not holding a gridiron football. All he's doing is portraying a biceps gesture! Definitely showing off confidence, pride, power, strength, muscularity, courage, determination, and somewhat fun and humor? Parsons has the AT&T Stadium in the background. Now, we don't know why he also has a moon in the background. Could you tell us in the comments?
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson appears to have been clicked after having caught the gridiron football! He has the Minnesota River, high scrapers, and U. S. Bank Stadium in the background.

Cooper DeJean humiliates Patrick Mahomes with petty autograph stunt after embarrassing him in Super Bowl blowout
Eagles' Cooper DeJean ignited a rivalry spark by signing a Patrick Mahomes card with "Go Birds!" (Getty Images) At Fanatics Fest in New York City, Philadelphia Eagles breakout star Cooper DeJean added a spark of rivalry to the offseason when he was handed a Patrick Mahomes football card to sign. Rather than just penning his name, the defensive back left a bold and cheeky two-word message: "Go Birds!"—a clear nod to the Eagles and a subtle jab at the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback whom DeJean intercepted during Super Bowl LIX. The signature that stirred headlines after Eagles' dominant Super Bowl win DeJean's autograph wouldn't have raised eyebrows if it were just a name, but given the history between the two players, the added message instantly became viral. The young cornerback's pick-six off Mahomes was a defining moment in the Eagles' 40-22 thrashing of the Chiefs on football's biggest stage earlier this year. As fans swarmed social media, one posted an image of the signed Mahomes card with DeJean's message loud and clear: "Go Birds!" What might seem like a small move was packed with meaning—after all, DeJean's interception was not only a highlight of his career but also a dagger to the Chiefs' hopes in that Super Bowl. Cooper DeJean credits Vic Fangio and defensive unity for Patrick Mahomes' struggles Reflecting on that performance, DeJean had high praise for the Eagles' defensive coordinator: "Yeah, I think it's the way he calls the game… We play a lot of zone, and we work well together as a defense. That's a credit to him." The 22-year-old also emphasized how little they had to blitz: "We might have blitzed one time the whole game. Those guys were getting pressure like crazy." Their cohesion was clear. After DeJean became a starter in Week 6, the Eagles gave up significantly fewer points and yards per game, a trend that peaked in their Super Bowl performance. To his credit, Mahomes owned up to the loss after the game: 'Obviously, the turnovers hurt and I take all the blame for that… Just didn't play to my standard and I have to be better next time.'

"My loyalty is to Jesus Christ": Deshaun Watson opens up on faith leaving NFL fans debating his priorities
"My loyalty is to Jesus Christ": Deshaun Watson opens up on faith leaving NFL fans debating his priorities (Image via Getty) Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has encountered his fair share of struggles in both the game of football as well as in life. While most conversation seems to revolve around his game play, Deshaun Watson recently opened up about something a bit more personal. He explained not only does he draw strength from training or a gameplan, he relies heavily on his strong faith. In one of his recent video messages, Deshaun Watson focuses on how while competing, his faith in God and trust in Jesus Christ ground him. For Deshaun Watson, faith is what supports him through the challenges, whether things seem good or bad. Deshaun Watson says trust in Jesus gives him hope every day In a video he posted on social media featuring 'I AM Second' on June 23, 2025, Deshaun Watson discussed how his belief in Jesus Christ gives him hope on a daily basis. He appeared calm, honest, and shared some incredible characteristics about where he gets his strength. 'My faith is very big. It gets me through life. The good times and the bad,' W atson also added something strong and simple: 'My loyalty is to Jesus Christ.' Deshaun Watson has faced many problems in the past few years. He's had injuries. He's dealt with criticism. And he's been away from the field for long stretches. But through everything, he said, his faith never changed. It stayed solid and helped him keep going. Deshaun Watson goes into deeper detail about how God helps him through difficult times This is not the first time Deshaun Watson has mentioned his faith. He stated in other interviews he grew up in a Christian household. Sometimes he shares Bible verses and messages about God he finds on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). In 2023 and 2024, Deshaun Watson was unable to play, because of a shoulder injury. And now in 2025, he is attempting to get back to full strength. He has had fans and teammates supporting him. However, Deshaun Watson has said that the most important thing is being connected to God. He made a point to say, irrespective of what happens with football or life, he puts his trust in Jesus. And as Deshaun Watson indicated, that is what allows him to have courage through everything.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce suffer award shock as Taylor Swift's 2025 losing curse takes over the internet
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce suffer award shock as Taylor Swift's 2025 losing curse takes over the internet (Image via Getty) As the 2025 NFL season drew nearer, many believed that two of the Kansas City Chiefs' biggest stars - Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce - were to be the winners of a big award. They were an established presence on the field and generated a lot of off-field coverage and attention. Even Taylor Swift, closely linked with the team through her relationship with Travis Kelce, was often brought up in conversations around the buzz. However, when the NFL went public with the announcement, none of the great players were selected. This was the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Patrick Mahomes and travis kelce do not receive Walter Payton Man of the Year February 8,2025, during the NFL Honors event in Las Vegas, they announced the Walter Payton Man of the Year awards. They did not announce it for Patrick Mahomes and Travis kelce, but instead for Arik Armstead of the Jacksonville jaguars. Arik Armstead was awarded for running the Armstead Academic Project, helping students obtain school supplies, tutoring, and scholarships. Travis Kelce, whose Running Foundation does a lot in Kansas City, and Patrick Mahomes, known for charity efforts, were both strong contenders. Still, Arik Armstead won for his outstanding work. Arik Armstead earns award Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes praised Travis Kelce, aged 35, had another busy season after a tough Super Bowl LIX loss in New Orleans on February 9, 2025. There, he caught only four passes for 39 yards, and the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22. After the game, Travis Kelce admitted the team 'lacked spark'. Before that game, at the NFL Honors on February 8, Travis Kelce hoped to win the Man of the Year, but praised Arik Armstead, saying he was 'truly inspiring'. Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs quarterback, also watched as Arik Armstead won. He praised both Travis Kelce and the others for the award, highlighting their charity work. The NFL says this award highlights character, not just game stats. At the same time, Taylor Swift's curse of the 2025 losing streak took over the internet, fueling wild fan theories online. This award announcement came just before a chance for a three-peat Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had already won the award last time the season started and many thought they would again. But now, with Arik Armstead taking the honour, it shows that someone outside a top team can shine. It reminds us: doing good off the field is as respected as winning on it.
