The Los Angeles Rams had their six-game winning streak snapped in surprising fashion in Week 13, with the Carolina Panthers scoring a 31-28 victory over Matthew Stafford and company at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

Making Sunday even less ideal for the Rams were the injuries dealt by wide receiver Davante Adams and running back Kyren Williams during the contest. The good news for Los Angeles is that neither player appears to be dealing with a serious injury that puts their short-term availability in doubt, according to Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay (h/t Adam Schefter of ESPN)....

The drama surrounding the quarterback situation of the Cleveland Browns just got juicier after the team lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 26-8, on Sunday in Shedeur Sanders’ home debut.

With Sanders getting the start for the second straight week, Dillon Gabriel remained as the backup even though he had already recovered from his concussion, which forced him to sit out their win against the Las Vegas Raiders, 24-10, in Week 12.

Sanders played well enough against the Raiders that Browns coach Kevin Stefanski rolled the dice with him again versus the 49ers. The outcome, however, was not the same....

Marcus Jones only needed one crease to light Gillette Stadium on fire. The New England Patriots cornerback and return ace ripped off a 94-yard punt return touchdown in the first quarter of Monday night’s matchup against the New York Giants, stretching New England’s lead to 10-0 and sending fans into full-on meltdown online.

Jamie Gillan boomed a punt that backed Marcus Jones up inside his own 10. A couple of broken tackles later, he was sprinting down the left sideline, barely touched, before diving into the end zone as Patriots teammates chased him in celebration. It was his third career...

On Monday, the Minnesota Vikings parted ways with veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen, and it would be wise for the New England Patriots to consider bringing him on board.

The 35-year-old receiver hasn’t had the best season, recording only eight receptions for 69 yards in 11 games. Some of this can be attributed to inconsistent quarterback play from J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz.

However, Thielen could bring his veteran leadership to a young Patriots team that is seeking more guidance as New England approaches the postseason.

The Patriots are also thin at wide receiver, and should anything happen to Stefon...

The New England Patriots avoided one of the more talented members of the New York Giants during their matchup on Monday — at least early on.

Abdul Carter, who was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, was benched for disciplinary reasons, according to ESPN’s Laura Rutledge. Carter didn’t take the field for a defensive snap until the second quarter.

Carter was also benched for multiple series during a Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

The Giants reportedly benched their star rookie for sleeping in the team facility at the time of a walk-through —...

Troy Aikman sees the game through a quarterback’s eyes as well as any broadcaster, which makes it noteworthy he defended Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss for a huge first-quarter hit on Giants rookie QB Jaxon Dart.

Facing second-and-13 with just over four minutes left in the first quarter, Dart scrambled around the right end and ran toward the first-down marker. With Dart clearly in bounds, Elliss delivered a huge hit, which prompted a skirmish along the sidelines.

The Giants received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty following the play while Elliss was not penalized.

“That’s the right call,” Aikman said on the ESPN...

The Packers will soon be getting some reinforcement on both sides of the ball. Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, running back MarShawn Lloyd and defensive end Brenton Cox had their practice windows opened today. Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston adds that the team has also opened the practice window on defensive end Collin Oliver.

Lloyd landed on IR before the start of the 2025 season with a hamstring injury. The 2024 third-round pick also spent most of his rookie campaign on injured reserve, collecting 18 yards from scrimmage in a single appearance. Lloyd may have a tough time...

The New York Giants are in Foxborough Monday night for a Week 13 showdown against the New England Patriots. They need all hands on deck to be in the best position to take down the powerful Pats, but the Giants missed the services of talented rookie linebacker Abdul Carter in the opening drive.

The exact reason for his absence remains a mystery, but it was reported to be a coach’s decision.

“The #Giants confirmed to @LauraRutledgethat Abdul Carter did not play as a coaches decision. Twice in a three week span,” Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team shared via social...

49ers

49ers TE George Kittle continues to tell reporters how impressed he has been with the play of rookie DT Alfred Collins and brought it up again following the team’s win over the Browns.

“I cannot get over Alfred Collins. I just think he’s such a good player and you just see his effort out there,” Kittle told Nick Wagoner. “If you guys watch the all 22, I just think he’s making so many plays and so much effort and so much hustle and I’m just so proud of him.”
