At least the Houston crowd got to enjoy a stellar Beyonce concert during halftime of Wednesday’s game. A dismal Christmas for the Texans and their fans got even worse after the second half got underway. C.J. Stroud was picked off by Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton to end the first Houston

Beyoncé put on the best show in Houston on Christmas, but the Ravens were a close second. The Ravens raced out to a 7-0 lead on their opening possession of their game against the Texans and never looked back on their way to a 31-2 win. The victory moves them

Move over Michael Vick. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson came into Wednesday’s game against the Texans needing 86 rushing yards to pass Vick and become the NFL’s all-time leading rushing quarterback and he hit the mark in the third quarter. Jackson had a six-yard run to get to 87 rushing yards

The Ravens needed two wins to take the AFC North title when Wednesday’s game in Houston got underway and they are halfway to picking up the first of them. Derrick Henry ran for a touchdown, Isaiah Likely caught another one and the Texans offense was unable to score any points

The Seahawks won’t have running back Kenneth Walker III on Thursday night. The team announced that Walker has been ruled out for their game against the Bears because of an ankle injury. Walker returned to the lineup last Sunday after missing two games with a calf injury, but was knocked

The Texans defense didn’t put up much of a fight on the Ravens’ opening possession on Wednesday. The Ravens needed less than five minutes to pick up 75 yards and a touchdown in Houston. Running back Derrick Henry rumbled into the end zone from two yards out to give the

The Eagles didn’t practice on Christmas Day, but they still were required to put out a practice report. That gave a better idea of where their quarterbacks are in their recovery. Starting quarterback Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol and is estimated as a non-participant. His backup, Kenny Pickett, was

The Colts did not hold a practice on Christmas, but they would have been without a significant piece of their offense if they had been on the field. Quarterback Anthony Richardson was listed as a non-participant in practice due to back and foot ailments. The team is slated to practice

The Steelers were able to slow the Chiefs offense down after Kansas City scored touchdowns the first two times they had the ball, but there’s more work to do if they’re going to prevail at home on Christmas. Russell Wilson’s one-yard touchdown run cut the Chiefs’ lead to 13-7 with

The Steelers needed four possessions to get their first points of the game, but they are now back within a score of the Chiefs. Russell Wilson ran for a one-yard score with 10:28 left in the first half and the Steelers now trail 13-7 at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. It

All the Steelers want for Christmas is a defensive stop, but they haven’t gotten one yet. Patrick Mahomes threw his second touchdown pass in as many possessions and Harrison Butker made the extra point this time, so the Chiefs lead 13-0 in Pittsburgh with four minutes left to play in

The Giants have nothing but draft position at stake in the final two weeks of the regular season, but wide receiver Malik Nabers has a shot at setting the rookie receptions record. Nabers’s bid to pass Puka Nacua’s mark and outdo Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers’s own run could

Last year, the Seahawks unceremoniously kicked head coach Pete Carroll to the curb. This year, he’s looking for a new NFL ride. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports that Carroll wants back in. Which means, frankly, that Carroll’s agent has specifically told this to Schefter in the hopes that Schefter would

The Steelers will have wide receiver George Pickens in the lineup on Christmas, but they won’t have quarterback Justin Fields. As expected, Pickens is making his return to action after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury. Pickens did not have an injury designation on the team’s final

Yes, Josh Allen is the betting favorite. But Lamar Jackson still might have something to say about who wins the MVP award for 2024. Jackson, the league MVP in 2019 and 2023, has had another tremendous season. Thirty-seven touchdown passes against four interceptions. Passer rating north of 120. A pair

Former NFL running back Wendell Smallwood has pleaded guilty to multiple federal fraud charges. Via the Associated Press, Smallwood had been charged in October with submitting fraudulent tax returns and fraudulent applications for “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in COVID-19 aid. Among other things, Smallwood allegedly used the Paycheck Protection

Rams QB Matthew StaffordLuke Hales/Getty Images Several teams will be battling for playoff positioning and scoreboard-watching in Week 17. The Chiefs will be up first, as they can clinch the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a win or with a Buffalo Bills loss. Patrick Mahomes and Co. only need one

The Chiefs listed defensive tackle Chris Jones as questionable to play in their Christmas game against the Steelers, but it looks like they will have to go without him in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Jones strained his calf in last Saturday’s win over the Texans and multiple reports on Wednesday indicate

Sleeper: Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears vs. Seattle Seahawks The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft has had a hit-or-miss season both on the field and in fantasy football, but he has finished in the top 10 at his position in three of his last five outings and should

Wide receiver Zay Flowers is the biggest injury question mark for the Ravens heading into Wednesday’s game against the Texans. Flowers drew a questionable designation due to a shoulder injury that led to him being listed as out of practice for two days this week. Flowers moved up to a

Chiefs QB Patrick MahomesDavid Eulitt/Getty Images It’s Christmas Week, and the NFL is giving fans a pair of games on Christmas Day. One, we’d consider for survivor play. We’d avoid the other. The Kansas City Chiefs (-3) are set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers to open the week. While Kansas

The Colts signed offensive guard Mark Glowinski from the practice squad to the 53-player roster Tuesday, the team announced. The Colts elevated Glowinski in Week 13 at New England, Week 15 at Denver and Week 16 vs. Tennessee, so he is out of elevations for the season. He started all

As Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold led his game-winning drive on Sunday in Seattle, he couldn’t hear the voice of coach Kevin O’Connell in his helmet. That’s because O’Connell’s communications device stopped working at the worst possible time. “Yeah, my headset went out,” O’Connell said. “We had a great MVP performance

Commanders running back Austin Ekeler has not played since Week 12 when he was diagnosed with a concussion. It was his second concussion of the season. Coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday, via Ben Standig of TheAthletic.com, that Ekeler is “trending” the right way and a return is “absolutely possible.” This

Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb will not play in the 2024 season. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters in his Tuesday press conference that Miami will not activate Chubb off of the reserve/physically unable to perform list. Chubb suffered a torn ACL meniscus, and patellar tendon late last season. “He just

Mike McCarthy presumably has no idea what his future holds as he is in the final year of his contract with the Cowboys. Do the Cowboys want him back? Does he want to come back? Owner Jerry Jones has offered effusive praise for the job McCarthy has done in winning

The Texans will have defensive end Will Anderson in the lineup against the Ravens on Wednesday, but they will be down one starting offensive lineman. Right guard Shaq Mason has been ruled out due to the knee injury he suffered in last Saturday’s loss to the Chiefs. Juice Scruggs will
