We got a Thursday night game on Thursday night.

Creed Humphrey's snaps are becoming more and more consistently low.

The 2024 Chiefs get one of those miracle takeaways on second or third down. The 2025 Chiefs do not.

---> KC (14) @ DAL (17) <---
KC has 4th & 4 at the DAL 44, Q3 07:12

Recommendation (STRONG): 👉 Go for it (+4.9 WP)
Actual play: 🏈🦵 M.Araiza punts 40 yards to DAL 4, Center-J.Winchester, downed by KC-K.Knowles.

Packers receivers caught passes on fourth downs and Lions receivers didn't and that decided the game.

Make Carrington Valentine tackle is a pretty reasonable strategy for how to beat the Packers
November 27, 2025 at 7:32 PM
Just drop that the referees aren't even full-time and walk away while they try to make sense of that
We get the officiating discourse instead

Swing screen where the blocker doesn't block anybody isn't what you're hoping to see on third-and-goal.

I've seen this crowd chant "We Want [David!] Carr" before, I know the "We Want Mac" chant is close

We might need to move the turnover slider down a bit

"Collecting that experience" is an incredible euphemism for "Asking a guy about the fact that more than a dozen women accused him of sexual misconduct"
_He's_ gone through an experience?

New column: How the Cowboys, Chiefs, and Lions fueled their second-half comebacks on Sunday, including why I don't think Saquon Barkley's struggles are a product of an injury and why Detroit's sack rate is deceiving www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
Barnwell makes sense of three wild comebacks: How the Cowboys, Lions and Chiefs flipped the script
Dallas was down 21. Detroit was down 10. And Kansas City was down 11. What did we learn as all three rallied in the second half to win their Week 12 games?

Remember: kicking to go up 6 is a great way to give opponent better field position and lose by 1.

Our model strongly agreed with Giants decision.

Eight consecutive throws for Daniel Jones here in the fourth quarter. Two completions for 13 yards. A little stunned they haven't tried to lean on Jonathan Taylor.

Aaron Rodgers watching Caleb Williams hit a free play up the seam for a TD has to hurt.

Titans special teams have improved more than any other unit in football this year, including Colts offense.
Chimere Dike is the best returner in the league

What a season Eric Wilson is having for the Vikings. He's been one of the best middle linebackers in the league since he got in the lineup.

Completely blown coverage by the Lions on Tracy in the flat.
