Denver, CO – October 6, 2025

NFL legend Peyton Manning has ignited a firestorm after publicly criticizing the officiating crew for controversial calls that helped seal the Denver Broncos’ 21–17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5.

The game ended in chaos as Eagles fans erupted over what they called a “robbery” by the refs. A missed penalty near the 5-yard line denied Philadelphia a final chance to score. The footage quickly went viral online, with many claiming the game was “rigged” to prevent the defending champions from winning.

In a surprising twist, Broncos legend Peyton Manning spoke out in defense of the Eagles — delivering a rare, honest take that sent shockwaves across the league.

“I’m happy the Broncos won, but the Eagles got screwed — that’s for sure,”Manning said. “I’m speaking up because if we ignore this today, someday it could happen to the Broncos in a bigger game. Today Denver won, but the Eagles played harder and deserved better.”

 

Manning’s words spread across social media within hours, earning millions of views. Eagles fans praised him as “the only legend with the guts to tell the truth,” while Broncos fans called his comments a sign of true sportsmanship.

Both ESPN and CBS Sports analyzed the controversial play, confirming that a defensive penalty was missed — one that could have given Philadelphia first-and-goal with seconds remaining. Experts agreed: had the call been made correctly, the Eagles likely would have won.

The Broncos now move to 3–2, while the Eagles suffer their first loss of the season at 4–1. But as Manning concluded, “Sometimes the score doesn’t tell the full story — how you win is what people will remember.”

 

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
