The Chicago Fire and New England Revolution meet Saturday night in Bridgeview, Ill., in a match that could heavily impact the Eastern Conference playoff race.

The Dolphins’ vertical passing game remains dangerous with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but the offense will need a more balanced attack to reach its full potential.

Aaron Rodgers’ time with the New York Jets was short-lived and disappointing, ending just four snaps into his debut with a torn Achilles. Now 41 years old, Rodgers opens a new chapter with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the twist is that his first opponent of 2025 is the Jets in East Rutherford.

After the Steelers’ failed experiment with Russell Wilson last season, head coach Mike Tomlin is betting that Rodgers’ leadership and experience can help Pittsburgh snap its streak of six straight postseason losses dating back to 2016.
