Week 8: She Plays Wing, She Wears Pink, and She's Not Done Fighting

Week 7 in the NFL gave us plenty to talk about. Two of three undefeated teams went down. The Seahawks held Kansas City to three points. The Cowboys rolled through Philadelphia. The Lions won a heart-stopper against the Packers, and Laura's 87-year-old mother is reportedly still recovering.

But this week on Girlfriends + Football, the most important moment had nothing to do with the NFL standings.

Week 7: Jalen Hurts, Blood Clots, and What Every Fan Should Know

This week on Girlfriends + Football, the show went somewhere unexpected, and necessary. Instead of the usual game-by-game breakdown, the crew paused to address the medical situation unfolding in Philadelphia, where Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve after being diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and bilateral pulmonary emboli. That's two blood clots in his lungs.

Four weeks into the 2026 NFL season and the chaos is fully locked in. Three teams are still undefeated. Four teams are sitting at zero and four.

Wait...WHAT?! Week Three Was Absolutely Unhinged and We Are Here For It

Three weeks into the 2026 NFL season and one thing is abundantly clear: this league has absolutely zero interest in making anything easy for anyone.

Week Two Had Everything. Including Beth Meeting Jim Kelly.

Two weeks in and this season is already delivering more than we can handle. Bills-Lions gave us a masterclass in Josh Allen doing Josh Allen things. The 49ers won. The Niners and bills fans watched the Lions and Texans look a little humbled. And somewhere in Tampa, it rained so hard the stadium turned into a waterfall with two minutes left on the clock and a game still to play.
But before we got into any of that, we had something much more important to address.
Beth met Jim Kelly.
