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.

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 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.

We're rested, coming off a bye. It's not the start we wanted. Denver are a good football team. We're going to their place, so there's just urgency. There's a togetherness, stick-together message that the coach [Andy Reid] has been giving us. We owe them one. They kicked our tail last time we were out there [a 24-9 win in 2023] They know us well, we know them well. It will be a good fight.

ESPN Eliminator Challenge is one of the most fun games to play this NFL season. The rules are simple: pick one team, and as long as they win (or tie), you advance to the next round. If they lose, you are out. The caveat is you cannot pick the same team twice. If you've made it this far, give yourself a pat on the back.

Denver Broncos linebacker and tackling savant Alex Singleton has long set a positive example for young football players in Southern California. He holds annual free camps and clinics at his alma mater, Thousand Oaks High. He partners with the Special Olympics to raise awareness and support for his sister and others with disabilities. He brought the Thousand Oaks High team coached by his good friend Evan Yabu to SoFi Stadium to watch the Broncos play the Chargers.
