Baltimore, MD – Week 5, 2025
Tensions exploded at M&T Bank Stadium when Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jaylin Noel sparked outrage by imitating the iconic Ray Lewis squirrel dance in front of the Ravens’ home crowd.

The gesture — widely seen as disrespectful — immediately drew the ire of Baltimore’s defense. Multiple Ravens defenders confronted Noel, leading to a heated on-field scuffle that had to be separated by officials and teammates.

For Baltimore fans, the squirrel dance isn’t just a celebration — it’s a sacred ritual tied to Ray Lewis, the Hall of Fame linebacker who defined the Ravens’ identity for nearly two decades. Seeing an opposing rookie mock it in Baltimore’s house lit a fire that shifted the atmosphere of the game.

NFL analysts and former players quickly reacted on social media, calling the move “reckless” and “guaranteed to draw retaliation.” While no ejections were issued, the incident added fuel to an already physical AFC showdown.

"You don’t come into Baltimore and disrespect our history. That dance belongs to Ray and this city. We take that personally."

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
