Not too long ago, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that: (1) the season would end; (2) Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy’s contract would expire; and (3) the Cowboys would hire someone else. What a difference two straight wins makes. In the days since Jerry Jones called the prospect of

The Vikings will have their rookie kicker back for Week 14. Minnesota has activated Will Reichard and long snapper Andrew DePaola on Saturday, the team announced. Reichard has made 14-of-16 field goals this season. He was sidelined by a right quad injury. The Vikings have waived kicker Parker Romo as

The NFL has fined Steelers wide receiver George Pickens a total of $20,462 for twice getting flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on Sunday against the Bengals. In the first quarter, Pickens was called for taunting. That got him a $10,231 fine. In the third quarter, Pickens was called for making a

On Friday, 49ers G.M. John Lynch described talk of a potential trade that would send coach Kyle Shanahan to a team like the Bears “rather comical.” Frankly, it’s rather comical that anyone would think Lynch’s opinion on the subject matters. Lynch didn’t hire Shanahan. Shanahan hired Lynch. If Shanahan goes,

They say there’s a fine line between courage and insanity. For the Lions, there’s no such line. They proved it on Thursday night, going for it on fourth down five different times. They converted four of them, but the one that failed was a Barry Switzer-style move. Fourth and one

Monday night’s loss by the Browns carried with it an incidental benefit for the Steelers. The loss guaranteed that the Steelers won’t finish in last place in the AFC North. This means that the Steelers will continue a streak of not finishing in last place in their division that dates

With Denver, Indianapolis and Baltimore all off in Week 14, Miami doesn’t have many rooting interests to care about.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is on pace to break the NFL’s single-season rushing record. And he will benefit from facing a soft schedule of run defenses the rest of the way. Barkley has 1,499 rushing yards through 12 games this season. That puts him on pace to gain 2,124

Alex Slitz/Getty Images All four teams participating in the Big Ten and SEC Championship Games are expected to be in the 12-team field. Where the quartet of programs are seeded, though, is the question that has to be answered on Sunday afternoon. The Big Ten and SEC winners will receive

Colorado coach Deion Sanders’ quarterback and son, Shedeur Sanders, is the current betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. If the season ended today, the Raiders would have the No. 2 pick. Deion thinks the Raiders would be a good spot for his son.

Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell returned to a full practice Friday and has no designation for Sunday. O’Connell did not participate in Thursday’s session with an illness.

Former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is still getting his feet week on the Vikings’ practice squad. He has the best of both worlds, staying in the game as a member of a team while available to sign with another team’s 53-man roster, should the need arise. The goal for now

It must be boring to be rich. Someone with money to burn has wagered $3.1 million on the Eagles to beat the Panthers on Sunday. Via ESPN.com, the bettor in Kentucky placed the beat at Circa Sports, at -700 odds. That means the bettor is wagering $700 to win $100.

On Friday, Browns cornerback Greg Newsome had plenty to say about Steelers receiver George Pickens. Pickens, however, didn’t have much to say about Newsome. “I don’t even know who that is,” Pickens told reporters, regarding Newsome. Two weeks ago, Newsome and Pickens wrestled during and after a Pittsburgh Hail Mary

Josh Reynolds spoke for the first time about being shot twice in the early morning hours of Oct. 18. He joined the Jaguars this week after the Broncos waived him, and on Friday, the wide receiver seemed eager to move forward both from the shooting and in his career. “It’s

The 49ers will be without left tackle Trent Williams again this weekend. Williams has been ruled out for the third straight week with an ankle injury. Williams did not take part in practice this week, so it’s no surprise that he’ll be missing from the lineup against the Bears. Defensive

The 49ers are targeting Week 15 for Dre Greenlaw’s return. San Francisco plays the Rams in Thursday Night Football next week. “Hopefully, he just keeps getting better,” General Manager John Lynch said Friday on his weekly radio show on KNBR, via NBC Sports Bay Area. “We’ve had that Thursday night

Quarterback Aidan O’Connell missed Thursday’s practice due to an illness and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers sat out with an ankle injury.

Earlier this week, PFT raised the idea of the Bears calling the 49ers to see if there is any interest in a trade that would make Kyle Shanahan to be their next head coach. There is no indication that it is something that any communication about such a move has

This week, signs have been pointing toward veteran D.J. Humphries taking over the starting left tackle position for the Chiefs after Wanya Morris struggled mightily against the Raiders last Friday. Humphries, 30, has only been with Kansas City for a couple of weeks after getting healthy from an ACL tear

It has been a week since the Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus and tight end Cole Kmet has noticed a difference around the team. Kmet said he had a good relationship with Eberflus and that his departure has been “a lot to deal with,” but he acknowledged that the

The Lions have a deep list of playmakers on their offense and different ones have stepped up at different points to help the team to a 12-1 record and a playoff berth this season. Wide receiver Tim Patrick got his chances to join that list on Thursday night and he

Thursday night’s 34-31 loss to the Lions all but closed the door on the Packers’ chances of winning the NFC North while pushing the Lions closer to securing the top seed in the entire conference. It also sets the stage for a potential third meeting between the divisional foes in

Lions head coach Dan Campbell told his players they’re a team of destiny in the locker room after Thursday night’s win over the Packers. The always fired-up Campbell seemed particularly enthusiastic that his injury-plagued team managed to pull out a close win over a divisional opponent and told them just

The Lions went 4-for-5 on fourth down, two of which resulted in touchdowns. Another allowed them to run out the clock before kicking a last-play field goal. Jake Bates kicked a 35-yard field goal as time ran out to give the Lions a 34-31 win over the Packers. It was

The Lions kept right on roaring. On Thursday night, they set a franchise record with 11 straight wins, courtesy of a walk-off, 34-31 victory over Green Bay. In so doing, the Lions joined the Bills and Chiefs as the three teams that have clinched playoff berths. The Lions still have

Jack CampbellSteven King/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Before we go any further, let’s make something clear—what the Detroit Lions have done this season is impressive. After downing the Green Bay Packers 34-31 on a last-second field goal, the Lions have won 11 straight. At 12-1, this is the most successful

Tim Patrick hadn’t scored a touchdown since 2021. He has two tonight. His first went for 3 yards. His second was 1 yard, giving the Lions a 31-28 lead with 8:39 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Lions receiver has five catches for 32 yards. Detroit has 328 yards after

The Lions have scored three touchdowns. Two of them have come on fourth down. The Lions have regained the lead with Jared Goff’s 3-yard throw to Tim Patrick on fourth-and-goal. It has Detroit back on top 24-21 with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter. The Lions went 70 yards in

When the Lions got to fourth down with 14 seconds left in the half, there was no question what they were going to do. Dan Campbell is as aggressive as any coach in the NFL. Jared Goff completed a 2-yard pass to running back Jahmyr Gibbs for a touchdown after

The Packers deferred after winning the coin toss. The Lions have a 7-0 lead after the first possession. Detroit went 70 yards in 11 plays, going 2-for-2 on third down and getting another conversion on a Packers penalty. David Montgomery capped off the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run. The

Both the Lions and Packers already had ruled out four players for Thursday Night Football, and neither team had another player with a designation. So, the teams had few decisions to make for their inactive lists. The Lions will play without four starters, as offensive tackle Taylor Decker (knee), defensive

Cornerback Darius Slay took another step toward returning to the Eagles lineup on Thursday. Slay was bumped up to full participation after getting in a limited practice on Wednesday. If he responds well to the uptick in work, it seems like a good bet that he’ll be able to clear

There’s some more clarity as to why quarterback Aidan O’Connell was not spotted at practice for the Raiders on Thursday. O’Connell did not participate in the session due to an illness, according to the club’s injury report. If O’Connell is able to return to the field on Friday, he should

Thursday has been a good day for Seahawks edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu. The NFL announced that Nwosu has been nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award early in the day and the Seahawks activated him from injured reserve later in the day. Nwosu missed the first four
