How the Raiders can win: Get in an offensive rhythm with interim play-caller Greg Olson, cleaning up the communication issues that were a problem in Chip Kelly's system. Establish a ground game with Ashton Jeanty and mix in more Brock Bowers at tight end. Protect Geno Smith, who has been sacked 18 times in the past three games, including 10 times by Cleveland last week. Get after Justin Herbert, especially off the edges with Maxx Crosby, Malcolm Koonce and Tyree Wilson.

"Frank has always been a team-first guy and is a true warrior," the team said in a statement. "He will forever be a Lion."

Kyle Monangai rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown, D'Andre Swift ran for 125 yards and a score, and the Chicago Bears finished with 281 yards on the ground to win their fifth straight game, 24-15 over the reeling Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night. Led by rookie coach Ben Johnson, the surprising Bears (9-3) are alone in first place in the NFC North heading into a 7 December showdown at Green Bay.

The Buffalo Bills will be without pivotal pieces of the offense when the team plays the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday as both starting offensive tackles -- Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown -- have been ruled out by coach Sean McDermott. They are dealing with injuries stemming from the team's Week 12 loss to the Houston Texans. Brown suffered a shoulder injury in the game and tried to play through it, but was unable to finish the game, sitting out the final drive.

Because you just won a Super Bowl. So even though you go back to the starting line, in your mind, you are a Super Bowl-caliber team and you think you deserve, almost, to get there, even if you don't talk about it, you might say the right things internally.

Thanksgiving is all about tradition so our starter is served piping hot from Detroit, as it has been since 1934, and it could be a classic between the (7-4) Lions and the (7-3-1) Green Bay Packers. The records look pretty but they are both still a win behind the Chicago Bears at the NFC North's summit while Detroit would just miss out on a wildcard as it stands owing to Green Bay's draw.

Tubi is best known for its free slate of Gen Z-friendly shows and nostalgia-inducing movies, but sports have played a small yet important role in its rise. The Fox-owned free streamer, which became profitable for the first time last quarter, made a name for itself in 2023 with a viral Super Bowl ad. That month, Tubi ranked on Nielsen's ratings chart for the first time. Tubi reintroduced itself to football fans in February by streaming the Super Bowl at no cost. At its peak, more than 15 million people tuned into Tubi's Super Bowl simulcast.

Yet the reality is their margin for error down the stretch is still slim despite their impressive fightback against Indianapolis. Indeed, the Chiefs are still a game outside the Wild Card places and face a stretch run that includes matchups with the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos. Both the Chargers and Broncos have already defeated the Chiefs this season as they each aim to dethrone them in the AFC West.

Not only did the Panthers (6-6) fail to capitalize more on their interception hat trick, they lost four players to injury by the fourth quarter, including cornerback Jaycee Horn to a concussion after his second interception. When Brown notched his second interception, 6 1/2 minutes remained, and it produced celebratory cheers from throughout the 49ers' embattled defense, including luxury-suite claps from injured stars Fred Warner and Nick Bosa. That takeaway didn't necessarily secure the victory, but the Panthers still got no closer.

At the snap, McCaffrey quickly ate up the 9-yard cushion Melton provided. By the time McCaffrey stopped abruptly at the 23, he had discarded Melton with a little bit of contact and worked back to the 24 as quarterback Brock Purdy had already let it fly. McCaffrey stopped, gathered and elevated to make a difficult grab as Melton arrived right after the ball. McCaffrey reeled it in for a first down.

Tom Brady played for 23 NFL seasons with a single, maniacal goal: to become the greatest quarterback who ever lived. He achieved it. Now, in retirement, Brady has dabbled in everything. He calls games for Fox. He's building chimneys in Birmingham. He's flogged crypto. He's spreading America's Game to Riyadh. He has a thriving YouTube account. He cloned his dog.

Kane: Yeah it's really something that I think I can achieve. I think it would be... Neville: It's mad really, isn't it? Kane: Yeah I just feel like, if I could play in the NFL and do what I've done in football, imagine that as an experience, imagine that as a career, to do two different sports. I mean, I'm not expecting it to be easy. I know a lot of people think I'm just going to turn up and be an NFL kicker.

Do your Sunday plans involve watching two terrible football teams force one or the other to win? If so, the Falcons head to New Orleans for Hate Week Part I, a game where the Saints enter with a hair's advantage of 1.5 points, per FanDuel Sportsbook. Both of these NFC South rivals' seasons have spiraled out of control, and at 3-7 and 2-8, respectively, it's essentially a race to the bottom when they meet on Sunday afternoon in the Superdome.

Jameis Winston will likely be the starting quarterback for the New York Giants this Sunday with Jaxson Dart under concussion protocol, interim head coach Mike Kafka said Wednesday. Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images The New York Giants take to the road seeking their first road win of the 2025 NFL season, but it will be an extremely difficult test against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Michigan on Sunday afternoon.

Another year, another Thanksgiving, another day of football and halftime shows. It's Thanksgiving Day once more, and a good ol' American tradition continues with the NFL's John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration, formerly the NFL Thanksgiving Classic. On November 27, two NFL match-ups will take place in the early and mid-afternoon while a third will begin at 8:20 p.m. ET. (That's when the food coma kicks in.)

Earlier this month, Trump slammed the rule two days after attending a game between the Washington Commanders and the Detroit Lions. I do have to say, I'll probably get myself in a little trouble for this. I hate the new kickoff in football, Trump said on The Pat McAfee Show. I think it's so terrible, I think it's so demeaning, and I think it hurts the game. It hurts the pageantry. I told that to [NFL Commissioner] Roger Goodell.

Rightfully so there's been so much talk about the Cowboys beating the Raiders and honoring Marshawn Kneeland , it's time to move on to the Eagles, looking at how great they've been over the past several years.

Hear the term national treasure and odds are you think of someone like Dolly Parton, Betty White, Simone Biles or Tom Hanks. They are comforting, widely admired and have uncontroversial histories. And then there's Jameis Winston. To celebrate Winston getting the call as the New York Giants starting quarterback last weekend, the NFL created a hype video, splicing a bunch of his goofiest quotes during his meandering journey through various NFL teams. It also, somewhat dubiously, accompanied the video with a comment calling him a national treasure.

The Dallas Cowboys took care of business on Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders and as a result people are feeling pretty good about them for the first time in a while. We all understand that Monday night was just one game and that this team still has a very tough path to the playoffs. We are simply just taking the wins as they come and Monday night's was objectively impressive.

The worse penalty actually came after Detroit's biggest play, a 40-yard Jared Goff touchdown pass to Jameson Williams that capped the Lions' only successful drive of the night. The Lions did basically nothing in the first half until Goff completed a 34-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown. On the next play, Williams took a route across the field and outran everyone for the score. He celebrated by jumping onto the stanchion of the goalposts and giving it a big hug.

Maldonado: The Lions' scoring ability collapses against top-tier defensive fronts, and Philly is structured to limit the Lions' path to touchdowns. Jared Goff's spike weeks only happen against bad defenses, and the Eagles defense is peaking after adding Jaelan Phillips and activating Nolan Smith Jr. a few weeks ago. This unit is generating nearly a 50% pressure rate while blitzing just 12% of the time, which can wreck Detroit's timing. Jahmyr Gibbs looked great last week against Washington, but the Eagles are top five in yards allowed before contact and haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher this season. Matchup, metrics and regression all point to Lions having difficulty on the road.
