Several separate NFL storylines emerged this week. Titans quarterback Cam Ward addressed online threats made against his family, calling the behavior 'weird.' Rams coach Sean McVay said the NFL confirmed a defensive pass interference call against cornerback Josh Wallace was incorrect in a pivotal moment of Sunday night's loss to the Broncos. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye again insisted his shoulder is not responsible for New England's sputtering offense amid a 1-2 start, pointing instead to decision-making issues. Separately, the Falcons signed defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. to a four-year contract extension worth up to $78 million with $46.5 million guaranteed. These developments reflect ongoing storylines across the league as teams address performance concerns, officiating controversies, player safety issues, and roster investments during the 2026 NFL season.
