### Turmoil in the NFL: Jets Fire Coach and Patriots Make Bold Quarterback Change
**Happy midweek, football fans! Cody Benjamin here with your daily NFL update, offering the latest on significant team changes and trade speculations.**
In a surprising move, the New York Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh, a decision that has sent shockwaves through the league. The sudden dismissal has sparked widespread speculation about the future direction of the team. Analysts and fans alike are eager to understand the implications of this move, particularly how it will affect quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team's overall strategy.
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots are shaking things up by naming Drake Maye as their starting quarterback for their upcoming Week 6 game against the Houston Texans. After a poor 1-4 start to the season under veteran Jacoby Brissett, head coach Jerod Mayo believes that Maye, this year's No. 3 overall draft pick, will provide the necessary spark to turn the team's fortunes around.
Pete Prisco has made his Week 6 game predictions, and they're generating plenty of discussions. In one of the weekend's most anticipated matchups, he's picking the Lions to edge out the Cowboys with a score of 33-32, citing Detroit's offensive prowess and Dallas's defensive shortcomings. Meanwhile, he expects the Bills to narrowly defeat the Jets 20-17, despite Buffalo's challenging schedule and internal team issues.
The NFL's quarterback rankings have a new leader this week, with Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens taking the top spot. His stellar performances have positioned him as an early contender for a second consecutive MVP award. Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals has also made a notable leap to No. 2, thanks to his recent five-touchdown performance.
With the trade deadline approaching on November 5, several big names are rumored to be on the move. Among those generating the most buzz are Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper, Bills outside linebacker Von Miller, and Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn. Each of these stars could provide a significant boost to any contending team willing to make a deal.
Stay tuned as the NFL season continues to unfold with unexpected twists and thrilling action.
