The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals produced quality background noise while fans snoozed through a post-Thanksgiving dinner nap. And while it’s not yet Christmas, the Bengals provided the Pittsburgh Steelers a gift with an 32-14 upset win to finish off the holiday. On the season, the Ravens are 6-6 while the Bengals move to 4-8 […]

The NFL’s Thanksgiving Day triple-header wrapped up on Thursday night with Joe Burrow returning to the field for the Cincinnati Bengals in a critical matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. What we got is a game we didn’t quite see coming.

Let’s dive into the winners and losers from the Bengals’ victory over the Ravens in Baltimore.

Winner: Cincinnati Bengals Opportunitis Defense

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. We certainly wouldn’t classify the Bengals defense as ‘good’ this season, but it had some fortune on Thanksgiving Day, and it certainly took advantage of it. It started with Cedric...

The Dallas Cowboys entered Thanksgiving knowing the margin for error against Kansas City could be razor thin. For the Cowboys, every possession and every kick carried postseason weight.

That backdrop made the role of Brandon Aubrey, from specialist to potential difference-maker, feel larger than ever in a game that many predicted would hinge on late-clock execution.

Aubrey, now in his third season in Dallas, had already built a reputation for saving points other teams concede. On Thursday, he reinforced that theme immediately, and his early kick wasn’t simply procedural; it quietly delivered statistical history.

“With that extra point after the...

What’s the saying? You can take the man out of football, but you can’t take football out of the man? That couldn’t be truer for Frank Ragnow, who has surprisingly unretired to rejoin the Detroit Lions.

Ragnow hung up his cleats in June, citing the physical toll of the NFL and the need to spend more time with his family. He had played seven seasons—all with the Lions—when he stepped away from the game.

But it seemed like he missed it so much that the veteran center decided to return after just four months.

What’s that quote from Michael Corleone...

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had a historic outing on Thanksgiving, leading his team to a 31–28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. A 17-yard reception in the first quarter moved Lamb beyond 7,000 receiving yards for his career, making him the first Cowboy to reach that total in his first six seasons and just the 15th player in NFL history to do it.

The reception was part of Lamb’s effort to bounce back after a disappointing three-drop performance against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer predicted a response in the next game,...

The Baltimore Ravens took a big Thanksgiving hit that had nothing to do with the scoreboard. Rookie cornerback Nate Wiggins limped to the locker room late in the second quarter of Thursday night’s clash with the Cincinnati Bengals and never came back.

NFL reporter Arye Pulli spotted Wiggins “hobbling” off and Baltimore soon ruled him out with a foot injury, turning a marquee AFC North matchup into a stress test for the Ravens’ secondary.

Week 13 delivers one of the most impactful divisional matchups of the 2025 NFL season as the Houston Texans head to Lucas Oil Stadium for a showdown with the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts. The Texans enter Week 13 riding a three-game win streak. CJ Stroud also returns from injury. With the Colts protecting an undefeated home record, this battle could redefine the AFC playoff picture. It’s strength vs. strength: the NFL’s top-scoring offense against one of the league’s stingiest defenses. Only one can leave with control of the division.

The Kansas City Chiefs did not have many great memories of their 2025 NFL Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys. Aside from suffering a 31-28 loss to Dak Prescott and company that further hurt their chances of making the NFL playoffs, the Chiefs also learned that one of their key players on the offensive line went down with an injury that could cost him more than just a game.

Running backs are not supposed to shine past 30 years of age, but fans should know by now that logic simply does not apply to Derrick Henry. The future Hall of Famer and current Baltimore Ravens star continues to run through defenses, and right over Father Time. He treated fans to another splendid highlight, exploding for a 28-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter of the team’s Thanksgiving battle versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Henry, who will turn 32 in January, still has the power and speed to make game-altering plays. Since Lamar Jackson has largely struggled since returning from a...

The Detroit Lions have been fighting an uphill battle this season. While they were expected to repeat as NFC North champions and have a great chance to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. the Lions have lacked the fire power they had a year ago. After losing to the Green Bay Packers 31-24 at home on Thanksgiving Day, the Lions have fallen to 7-5 and third place in the NFC North.

Chiefs rookie LT Josh Simmons suffered a dislocated and fractured wrist during Thursday’s game against the Cowboys, according to Ian Rapoport.

Simmons is scheduled to get an MRI on Friday then will seek opinions on treatment options, per Rapoport.

He is expected to be out indefinitely.

Simmons, 22, started his career at San Diego State and started all 13 games at right tackle in 2022 before transferring to Ohio State in 2023. The Chiefs used the No. 32 overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Simmons.

He signed a four-year, $14,656,682 contract that includes a...

A banged up offensive line in Kansas City may have taken a big hit today as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the team’s starting left tackle, Josh Simmons, suffered a dislocated and fractured wrist today and “is out indefinitely.” Simmons was seen leaving the locker room with a cast on his left wrist after today’s game, per ESPN’s Nate Taylor, and he’ll undergo an MRI tomorrow before determinations are made on treatment.
