“Violence has no place in our society or our game,” the Eagles’ ownership group said in a joint statement. “On Sunday, before the game begins, we invite all fans, players, and coaches to stand together for one minute of silence to honor Charlie Kirk, extend our deepest condolences to his family, and reaffirm our shared commitment to respect and humanity.”

The observance will take place during the pregame window — either immediately following player introductions or before the national anthem — in coordination with the Chiefs organization, stadium operations, and NFL Game Operations. Stadium music will be paused and lighting softened as both teams and the officiating crew line the sidelines for 60 seconds of silence.

Videoboards inside Arrowhead will display the messages: “IN MEMORY OF CHARLIE KIRK — 1993–2025” and “PAUSE. REMEMBER. STAND TOGETHER.” A public-address announcement will invite fans: “Ladies and gentlemen, please rise and join us in a one-minute moment of silence in memory of Charlie Kirk. As we pause, we honor his life and stand united against violence of any kind.”

Ahead of kickoff, the Eagles’ official social media accounts plan to post: “Before Sunday’s game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs, we will observe a one-minute moment of silence in memory of Charlie Kirk. We stand with his family and loved ones, and we stand together against violence of any kind. #FlyEaglesFly.” The Chiefs are also expected to echo support for the tribute across their platforms.

Kirk, 31, was the founder and CEO of Turning Point USA and a nationally recognized voice in conservative media and youth organizing. His sudden death has prompted tributes across the political spectrum and renewed calls to reject violence in public life.

For the Eagles, Sunday’s moment of silence is meant to rise above sport and politics — a chance for two fan bases and the NFL community at large to stand together in solemn remembrance before the game begins.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
