The Kansas City Chiefs would love to see history repeat itself when they visit Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. Love, however, is feeling much more confident these days. So, too, are the rejuvenated Packers (5-6) as they prepare to host the high-powered Chiefs (8-3). Love’s first NFL start came against the Chiefs on Nov. 7, 2021. He posted a 69.5 passer rating as he threw for 190 yards, one touchdown

Banged up but unbowed, the Cleveland Browns will try to improve their positioning in the AFC playoff picture when they visit the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Cleveland remained out west following its 29-12 loss at Denver last Sunday. Now the Browns hope to stay healthy after injuries forced defensive end Myles Garrett (left shoulder), quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion), wide receiver Amari Cooper (rib) and defensive end Jordan Elliott (ankle) from the game. In addition,

The San Francisco 49ers return to the scene of last season’s NFC Championship Game, and Sunday’s rematch with the host Philadelphia Eagles should include many fireworks. Last year’s matchup was marred by an elbow injury to 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy as the Eagles cruised to the 31-7 win that elevated them into the Super Bowl. Come Sunday, Purdy is healthy and teammate Christian McCaffrey is flourishing, while Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is once again enjoying

Perhaps the most surprising aspect behind the unexpected rise of Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud has been the resilient play of his offensive line, a patchwork unit besieged by injury from the start of this season.

Stroud certainly is deserving of a lion’s share of the credit for his development, but

Miami (8-3) sits atop the AFC East and is coming off wins over the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets. The Dolphins are in pursuit of their first division title since the 2008 season. Washington (4-8) has lost three games in a row and eight of its last 10. No team

For Jonathan Taylor, it’s thumbs down in Week 13. If the Indianapolis Colts are to maintain their current wild-card playoff position, it will have to be thumbs up for Zack Moss, starting with Sunday’s game against the host Tennessee Titans in Nashville, Tenn. Taylor, the 2021 NFL rushing champion whose last two years have been interrupted by injuries and contract standoffs, underwent thumb surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles.

The New York Jets’ four-game losing streak is tied for the longest active skid in the NFL. They’re desperate for good news, and Aaron Rodgers is doing all he can to give them a glimmer of hope. On Wednesday, Rodgers returned to practice, 11 weeks after he underwent surgery to repair a torn Achilles. Rodgers has said he wants to return this season provided he’s healthy and the team is “alive” in the AFC playoff

Usually when NFL teams play on Thanksgiving, they get a few extra days off ahead of the following game. The Seattle Seahawks and the Dallas Cowboys don’t have that luxury. They will both play for a second consecutive Thursday when they meet this week in Arlington, Texas. The Seahawks (6-5), who were in sole possession of first place in the NFC West at the start of November, now find themselves two games behind San Francisco.
