In response, Commissioner Roger Goodell released a heartfelt statement pledging solidarity and security measures for league staff and reinforced the NFL’s commitment to its community during this dark moment.

Commissioner Goodell’s official statement and safeguards
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called the attack an “unspeakable act of violence”, extending condolences to grieving families and emphasizing gratitued toward law enforcement, especially Office Didarul Islam, who lost his life protecting others. Goodell confirmed that one league employee remains hospitalized in stable condition following the shooting.
In line with safeguarding staff well-being, eployees based in New York were instructed to work remotely through at least August 8, while the league offices remain closed until further notice. Additionally, a virtuan town hall was organized to provide emotional support, and NFL officials announced an upgraded security presence at corporate buildings in the days ahead.
NFL Community response and wider impact
The NFL family quickly rallied. Coaches and players across the league expressed deep sorrow and solidarity. Several open remarks during press conferences acknowledged the tragic event and honored victims, including internal staff and first responders. Andy Reid, Aaron Glenn, Raheem Morris, and other coaches emphasized the gravity of violence beyond football and stood united in messaging support.
In addition to internal outreach, the NFL is coordinating with external agencies to address broader safety concerns. Investigators are exploring whether the shooter, Shane Tamura, acted on grievances connected to alleged brain injury linked to CTE, though he played only high school football and never joined the league. His three-page note blamed the NFL for concealing concussion dangers, a claim unverified by medical evidence at this time.

Ravens suffer ‘complete disappointment’ after 34-point loss, the second-worst defeat of John Harbaugh era
The Baltimore Ravens' 2025 season can summed up by what occurred after Jaylin Noel's touchdown on Sunday that stretched Houston Texans' lead to 31 points early in the fourth quarter. Noel celebrated his first career touchdown by mimicking Ray Lewis' patented squirrel dance. Noel's celebration was interrupted by Ravens cornerback Jaire Alexander, who tried to steal the ball away before shoving Noel. Alexander's act was symbolic of the pain a proud franchise is currently enduring. Baltimore, the heavy preseason favorite to repeat as AFC North champion, is now 1-4 through five games. Sunday's 44-10 loss was its worst defense since 2017 and is tied for the biggest defeat of the John Harbaugh era. "Just complete disappointment," Harbaugh said afterward. "We're gonna have to find a way to turn it around and figure out who we are this next week and into the bye and […]

Here's the language from the NFL rulebook, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk: "[I]f a loose ball in play […]
Same old Chargers? The one thing ruining Justin Herbert’s MVP case, L.A.’s hopes of deep playoff run
The Chargers' vanishing act came in a hurry Sunday against the Commanders. When the offense took the field for its opening drive of the second half, Los Angeles' 10-0 lead had become a 17-10 deficit in 10 minutes of game time.The offensive line would be the next thing to go up in smoke. On first and 10, an unblocked Jordan Magee came flying in on a blitz, and Justin Herbert quite literally disappeared under a sea of white uniforms and burgundy helmets. It officially went down as a sack by Johnny Newton, but any of the four Commanders creating a Herbert sandwich could have been credited.No matter. Herbert has bailed the Chargers out plenty of times before, and it looked like he would again, firing a dart to Quentin Johnston for 23 yards. The only problem? Right tackle Trey Pipkins was […]
