The NFL is giving unlikely Vikings hero Josh Dobbs the same love it showed Taylor Swift last month ... putting the quarterback all over its social media pages!!

The Shield leaned heavily into Taylor's presence at Kansas City Chiefs games amid her budding romance with Travis Kelce ... temporarily changing its bio and imagery to have fun with the whole ordeal.

The "Cruel Summer" singer had real estate on the NFL's pages for a bit ... but now it's Dobbs' turn to get the spotlight after leading Minnesota to its second win in two weeks.

Of course, Dobbs was thrown into the Vikes vs. Falcons matchup after joining the team days prior and didn't even know his teammates' names or plays, but was still able to come out with the 31-28 win.

His magic continued on Sunday ... when he helped Minnesota outlast the Saints, 27-19.

Given his surprising success story, the league decided it was time to hand Dobbs his flowers ... adding him to its banner and saying, "in Dobbs we trust" in the bio.

La NFL le está dando al improbable héroe de los Vikings, Josh Dobbs, el mismo amor que mostró por Taylor Swift el mes pasado, poniendo al mariscal de campo en todas sus redes sociales.

La NFL se apoyó fuertemente de la presencia de Taylor en los partidos de los Kansas City Chiefs en medio de su incipiente romance con Travis Kelce, y había cambiado la imagen principal de su biografía para divertirse con toda la experiencia.

La cantante de "Cruel Summer" estuvo en las páginas de la NFL por un tiempo, pero ahora es momento de darle el protagonismo a Dobbs después de que le otorgara su segunda victoria en dos semanas al equipo de Minnesota.

Por supuesto, Dobbs fue lanzado al partido de los Vikes vs Falcons después de que se uniera al equipo días antes. En ese momento, ni siquiera se sabía los nombres de sus compañeros o las jugadas, pero así y todo fue capaz de entregarles la victoria 31-28.

Su magia continuó este domingo cuando ayudó a Minnesota a superar a los Saints, 27-19.

Dada su sorprendente historia de éxito, la liga decidió reemplazar a Taylor y tirarle flores a Dobbs, eligiéndolo en su banner principal y biografía con el mensaje: "En Dobbs confiamos".

The Buffalo Bills are shaking up the organization after their embarrassing loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football -- offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey just got kicked to the curb.

The Bills kept tripping over themselves in their 24-22 loss to the Broncos ... turning the ball over four times and struggling to put up points yet again.

The team decided it was time for a change on Tuesday ... sacking the former quarterback amid his second season as the leader of the offense.

Joe Brady -- who famously had success with Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers in their 2019 national championship season -- will take over for Dorsey.

The Bills were considered Super Bowl contenders at the start of the 2023 season ... but after starting 3-1 and putting up strong numbers on offense, the wheels started to fall off.

Buffalo has since gone 2-4 and now sit several spots out of the last Wild Card spot in the AFC.

Dallas Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs is fed up with watching Stefon lose in Buffalo ... publicly pleading to get his brother off the Bills ASAP.

Trevon -- who's sidelined for the rest of the season with an ACL injury -- was live tweeting as he watched the Bills' 24-22 loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football ... and after the game, he fired off his opinion on his brother's situation.

"Man 14 Gotta get up outta there 😫😭," Trevon said following Stefon's three-catch, 34-yard performance.

Of course, there's been no shortage of drama with Stefon during his time in Upstate New York -- he reportedly wasn't seeing eye-to-eye with quarterback Josh Allen after their sideline argument in the playoffs last season, when the Cincinnati Bengals booted the Bills in the Divisional Round back in January.

Both sides denied any bad blood ... but the Bills' issues certainly haven't gone away, as the former Super Bowl contenders currently sit at 5-5 with a tough remaining schedule.

Tom Brady is wasting no time getting acquainted with his new Fox Sports coworkers ... hitting up a Beverly Hills hotspot with Erin Andrews!!

Brady -- rocking a grey hoodie and jeans -- showed up at Funke restaurant with the famous sideline reporter and other Fox Sports colleagues around 10 PM Monday night ... and the group quickly entered the venue with security in tow.

We're told the future Hall of Famer and EA wanted to meet up to discuss Brady's upcoming color commentary gig with Fox Sports ... which officially starts in 2024.

Of course, Andrews has been with the network since 2012 ... leading the sideline for its main broadcast team and reporting for the biggest games on the schedule.

Brady's going into next season as a rookie after inking a 10-year deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

We're assuming Brady picked her brain throughout the dinner ... considering she's a seasoned vet at this point.

There's a chance the two may have also talked some Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ... considering the Kansas City Chiefs superstar credits EA with setting up the power couple.

Tom Brady no está perdiendo el tiempo para familiarizarse con sus nuevos compañeros de trabajo en Fox Sports, apareciendo en un lugar caliente de Beverly Hills con Erin Andrews.

Brady, que llevaba puesta una sudadera con capucha gris y pantalones vaqueros, se presentó en el restaurante Funke con la famosa reportera y otros colegas de Fox Sports alrededor de las 10 de la noche del lunes.

Nos dicen que el grupo quería reunirse para discutir el próximo papel de Brady como comentarista en Fox Sports, el que comienza oficialmente en 2024.

Por supuesto, Andrews ha estado con la red desde 2012, liderando la línea lateral y transmitiendo para algunos de los juegos más grandes del calendario.

Brady estará presente en la próxima temporada como un novato, después de firmar un contrato de diez años por cientos de millones de dólares.

Estamos asumiendo que Brady le hizo muchas preguntas durante la cena, teniendo en cuenta que es una verdadera veterana en este punto de su carrera.

Hay una posibilidad de que los dos también hayan hablado de Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce.

Patrick Mahomes ha jugado más de 100 partidos en la NFL, y en cada uno de ellos desde que era un novato, el dos veces campeón del Super Bowl ha usado el MISMO par de calzoncillos de la suerte, ¡que solo limpia de vez en cuando!

Mahomes, de 28 años, hizo la confesión en el programa "Manningcast" de Peyton y Eli durante el Monday Night Football, confirmando una historia que había sido soplada por el ex QB de Pat, Chad Henne, sobre su cábala de los calzoncillos rojos.

"Me encanta tener una buena superstición, pero ¿no podías comer la misma comida antes del partido? ¿Tenía que ser la ropa interior roja?", le preguntó Eli a Patrick.

"Primero, mi mujer Brittany me los compró. Así que no los estoy tirando abajo, pero tengo que usarlos", respondió Mahomes y agregó: "Por otro lado, me los puse esa primera temporada y fue bastante buena. Aunque solo los uso el día del partido para que no se desgasten demasiado".

Mahones tiene razón. Los Chiefs terminaron 12-4 en 2018 y Patrick fue el MVP de la liga con solo 23 años.

Y desde esa primera temporada completa, los Chiefs pasaron a ganar dos Super Bowls y una tonelada de juegos. Así que los calzoncillos no se van a ir a ninguna parte.

La pregunta es, ¿Mahomes los lava?

Ehhh, a veces.

"Los lavo de vez en cuando por lo menos", dijo Mahomes. "Si estamos en una buena racha, no puedo lavarlos. Tengo que mantenerlos rodando".

Esperemos que esté bromeando, pero probablemente no.

"Mientras esté ganando partidos, mantendré la superstición", dijo Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes has played more than 100 NFL games ... and for every single one of 'em since his rookie season, the 2x Super Bowl champ has rocked the SAME lucky pair of underwear, which he only occasionally cleans!

28-year-old Mahomes made the admission while on Peyton and Eli's "Manningcast" show during Monday Night Football ... confirming a story told by Pat's former backup QB, Chad Henne, who blew the lid on the lucky red drawers.

"I love a good superstition, but couldn't you just do something like eat the same pregame meal? Did it have to be the red underwear?" Eli asked Patrick.

"First, my wife Brittany got them for me. So I'm not throwing y'all down, but I have to wear them," Mahomes responded, adding, "At the same time, I threw them on that first season, we had a pretty good season that season. I only wear 'em for game day though so they're not too worn down."

He's right ... the Chiefs were 12-4 in 2018, and Patrick was the league MVP at just 23 years old.

And since that first full season, the Chiefs went on to win 2 Super Bowls, and win a ton of games. So, they're not going anywhere.

Question, does Mahomes wash them?

Ehhh, sometimes.

"I wash 'em every once in a while at least," Mahomes said. "If we're on a hot streak I can't wash 'em. I gotta keep it rollin'."

Let's hope he was joking ... but probably not.

"As long as I'm winning football games, I'll keep the superstition going," Mahomes said.

The Bills' struggles on the field have apparently frustrated Buffalo fans so much, they've now turned on each other -- getting into a violent fistfight at the game on Monday night.

The wild scrap happened at some point during Buffalo's loss to Denver at Highmark Stadium ... when several fans clearly became upset with a man in a Josh Allen jersey.

It's unknown what sparked the commotion ... but you can see in video shot by someone a few rows away from it all, fists started to fly just seconds after words were exchanged.

Check out the clip ... after the Allen fan got tagged in the face by a jab, he threw some haymakers -- which led to an all-out melee.

At one point, a man in a Thurman Thomas shirt jumped in to try and help out the Allen fan, which led to even more chaos.

Thankfully, it appeared cooler heads prevailed after just a few moments of fighting.

Kim Zolciak has restored her married name to her Instagram bio, serving as yet another piece of evidence her hot-and-cold marriage to Kroy Biermann is back on track amid their divorce. Yeah, we get it ... super confusing.

The former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star replaced her IG handle @kimzolciak with @kimzbiermann, which was the one she used before her latest breakup with Kroy back in August.

What's more, Kim and Kroy were seen out on a dinner date over the weekend to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary.

The two looked like a happy couple, chowing down on lasagna, chicken parm and chocolate desserts at an Italian restaurant in Georgia.

By looking at the IG video they posted of their special night together, you would never guess Kim and Kroy are in the middle of their 2nd divorce, but they are!!!

Here's how bad it got. The divorce judge literally divided their home in half so they didn't have to interact. Kroy got the primary bedroom and Kim was relegated to the basement. The police were regulars at the house to settle various marital disputes.

Yet, there seems to be mounting evidence that they're gonna once again call off their divorce and try to live happily ever after -- even with all of their constant blowout fights and financial troubles.

Whether that will happen is anyone's guess. But keep in mind, Kim and Kroy have already been down this road once before -- and both agreed to dismiss their first divorce petition in July.

Will the second time be a charm? Stay tuned.

Taylor Swift swapped out the PDA with Travis Kelce for a girly powwow with her good friend Gracie Abrams in the Big Apple on Monday night.

After a jam-packed, headline-grabbing tour stop in Argentina, Taylor was probably breaking down her weekend's events -- professional and romantic -- with her singer-songwriter pal as they laughed and chatted away.

Taylor, of course, looked chic for her outing in her oversized navy blazer atop a white dress, while Gracie kept things more casual.

The sighting comes after the "Karma" singer passionately locked lips with her NFL beau Saturday night after performing to a packed stadium of fans during her Buenos Aires stop.

The phrase "get a room" definitely came to mind when the pair made out backstage -- but the PDA was to be expected. Don't forget it came on the heels of the superstar changing the lyrics to "Karma."

The OG version -- "Karma is the guy on the screen/Coming straight home to me," was updated to "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs/Coming straight home to me." Clever 😉

The change of lyrics came as a very pleasant surprise for fans and Travis, who was seen looking stoked while vibing along to her music next to Taylor's dad.

Donna Kelce is givin' all her love and attention to Taylor Swift ... because Travis Kelce's mama was spotted watching the singer's "Eras" Tour film in theaters!

Swiftie Dannielle Sparks said in her TikTok it was her 4th time checking out the Taylor Swift concert movie -- a true fan -- but she spotted a familiar face while stepping out of a Florida movie theater.

Once the credits rolled, Dannielle says she bumped into Donna and was SHOCKED ... calling it one of the greatest moments of her freakin' life. The best part? She says no one even knew Donna was in the building during the screening.

After chatting it up with, according to Dannielle, the "sweetest human ever," she says she offered Donna a friendship bracelet, but she politely declined -- 'cause she's already got way too many!

As you know, Taylor and Travis were spotted smoochin' at her Argentina concert over the weekend ... and she changed the lyrics to her song, "Karma," just for the football star.

7:27 AM PT -- According to a police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, Zay Jones was arrested after he allegedly got into an argument with the mother of his child that turned physical.

Cops say in the docs the incident took place at a Jacksonville-area condo/apartment at around 2:20 PM on Monday.

The report states a woman told officers on the scene she got into a tiff with Jones after she told the NFL player she was taking their child from Jacksonville back to Orlando.

Further details surrounding the alleged altercation involving the couple were redacted by cops ... though the report does state one officer "observed several small scratches" on the woman's neck "consistent with marks from a fingernail."

Jacksonville Jaguars star wide receiver Zay Jones was arrested in Florida this week for domestic violence ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

According to jail records, the 28-year-old was taken into custody on Monday in the Jacksonville area at around 6 PM ... and booked on a domestic battery causing bodily harm charge.

The records show he's currently still behind bars -- awaiting a court hearing on the matter later Tuesday.

Further details surrounding his arrest were not made immediately available ... though the Jaguars said in a statement late Monday night they are aware of the arrest and "are in the midst of gathering information."

"We will have no further comment at this time," the team added.

Jones has played in three games for Jacksonville this season ... and has been one of quarterback Trevor Lawrence's favorite targets while on the field, piling up eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns. He has, however, had to sit out of six of his team's games this year due to a knee injury.

Johnny Manziel's rise to superstardom was nothing short of a movie ... and if Hollywood ever decides to actually turn his story into a real flick, the Heisman winner knows exactly who he wants to play him!!

Of course, Johnny's journey to becoming a household name as a college quarterback was filled with plenty of drama and excitement during his time at Texas A&M -- from partying and arrests to huge victories and hanging out with celebs like Justin Bieber and Drake, the guy couldn't keep out of the headlines if he tried.

Manziel's ups and downs were covered in a popular Netflix documentary ... and given that project's success, it wouldn't be surprising if a studio gives the green light on a feature film about Johnny down the line.

If that day comes, the former NFLer already has a guy in mind to take on the role -- Miles Teller.

"We've met a couple times in L.A. and stuff," Johnny told Broadcast Boys. "It's been talked about before. So, we'll go Miles Teller. It's safe to say."

While Teller is an accomplished actor, it's worth mentioning he's already about 15 years older than Johnny was when he tore it up in College Station ... but hey, it's Hollywood. Stranger things have happened.

Perhaps life on Injured Reserve ain't that bad ... while his Jets teammates were resting up Saturday night before the 'SNF' game against the Raiders, Aaron Rodgers was sipping bourbon and puffing cigars at a fancy lounge in Sin City!

TMZ Sports is told the 4x NFL MVP hit up Eight Cigar lounge at Resorts World this weekend, where we're told he drank Blanton's Gold Edition Kentucky Bourbon and smoked a My Father The Judge cigar, while hanging out and enjoying himself.

Of course, Aaron was in town for the Jets-Raiders game on Sunday night. Rodgers obviously isn't playing (he's gunning to return to the field in mid-December), so Saturday night was his time to go out and have some fun.

Blanton's Gold is a 103-proof, single-barrel bourbon whiskey that's highly regarded by purists ... and it isn't cheap. A bottle could run near $300 at the liquor store, and much more in a high-end spot like Eight.

The My Father The Judge cigar -- handmade in Nicaragua and boasting -- is high quality, too. The stogie is described as medium to full-bodied with notes of leather, cedar, toasted almonds, and sweet cocoa.

Davante Adams was in great spirits after the Raiders eeked out a win over the Jets Sunday night, dancing his face off after their second-straight victory ... and it's clear the All Pro WR is fully behind new coach Antonio Pierce!

The Raiders star WR got jiggy with it after the 16-12 win over Gang Green -- where he had 86 receiving yards -- at Allegiant Stadium on 'SNF' ... his second-best receiving game this season.

Obviously, things are very different in Raiders land since head coach Josh McDaniels was fired ... and Pierce an assistant coach previously, was elevated to interim head coach. The GM, Dave Ziegler, was also canned.

Adams' mood under the new leadership is night and day ... and the proof was in the pudding as Davante celebrated with his teammates after the game as the cameras rolled.

The 6x Pro Bowler wasn't quite as happy a few weeks ago ... instead, the receiver had several outbursts on the sidelines and in the locker room as the team continued to lose game after game.

The change in mood isn't unique to Adams ... Maxx Crosby feels the difference, too, saying the energy has "been incredible" since Pierce took over.

"He just told us this a new era, new team, new start of the season and we bought into it," the star defensive end said after the game.

"Back-to-back wins is huge! We're right in the mix of things and we just gotta keep going."

With Sunday's win, the Raiders are now 2nd in the AFC West ... though the upcoming schedule is about to get tough. Vegas plays the Chiefs and Dolphins next. No easy feat.
