The Detroit Lions cleared numerous hurdles to reach their annual Thanksgiving Day home game in full control of the NFC North. On Thursday, Detroit will look to snap its six-game losing streak on the holiday when it hosts the Green Bay Packers. “We’re trying to turn over a new leaf here,” coach Dan Campbell said. “We’re trying to do something different and find a way to do some things that haven’t been done in awhile.

If the Nashville Predators hope to crawl out of the Central Division basement before Thanksgiving, a good time to start would be Saturday afternoon against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks. The Predators and Blackhawks are tied for the fewest points in the Central (10). Nashville sits in last place because it has played one more game than Chicago. Only the San Jose Sharks have fewer points (seven) throughout the NHL. Bringing up the rear has been

Whether you call it the Andy Reid Bowl, the Kelce Clash or perhaps Super Bowl 57.5, fireworks are expected when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Philadelphia Eagles in a Monday night showdown. Both teams are coming off bye weeks. The Eagles (8-1) sport the best record in the NFL. The Chiefs (7-2) have the best record in the AFC and have swept the last four meetings, including 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII on Feb.

Division title goals and beyond remain attainable after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers snapped pronounced losing streaks with decisive victories last week. The Buccaneers (4-5) and host 49ers (6-3) look to build on that momentum at the other’s expense on Sunday in Santa Clara, Calif., a rematch of the 49ers’ 35-7 win in the same stadium last December. The Bucs halted a four-game losing skid with a 20-6 triumph over the visiting

Status quo wasn’t working for the Buffalo Bills. Coach Sean McDermott fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey on Tuesday, a move he deemed necessary less than 24 hours after a 24-22 loss at home to the Broncos that featured four turnovers and a pair of last-minute penalties that set up Denver’s game-winning field goal. “I just felt that this was the right time,” McDermott said of firing Dorsey with seven games left in the regular season.

The Las Vegas Raiders are experiencing a revival under interim coach Antonio Pierce. Now they might need another gear for a visit to tackle the Miami Dolphins at Miami Gardens, Fla. The Raiders (5-5) are 2-0 since firing Josh McDaniels and handing the keys to Pierce, who has quickly energized the squad. The visit to Miami is the only road contest during a six-game stretch for the Raiders. “We were fortunate that my first two

Frigid starts melted away and two of the NFL’s warmest teams, the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos, get together in the Week 11 Sunday night game. Minnesota (6-4) rides a five-game streak to Denver despite a spate of injuries to key players including quarterback Kirk Cousins and wide receiver Justin Jefferson. The Vikings are coming off a 27-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints last Sunday. And don’t look now, but Denver (4-5) is riding

With back-to-back last-second victories pushing the Houston Texans above-.500 in November for the first time since 2019, there’s an unrecognizable element in the air around the franchise: playoff talk. The emergence of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud has the Texans squarely in the postseason conversation with eight games to play. When the Texans (5-4) host the Arizona Cardinals (2-8), Houston’s challenge includes avoiding looking beyond Sunday and down the road ahead. Up next is a critical

Deshaun Watson is out and Dorian Thompson-Robinson is in for the Cleveland Browns when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a crucial AFC North game on Sunday. Watson’s injury-plagued season ended when the Browns (6-3) announced they were putting their $230 million quarterback on injured reserve as he prepares for right shoulder surgery. Watson suffered both a displaced fracture in his shoulder and a left high ankle sprain in last week’s 33-31 comeback win over

There are increasing signs that the Dallas Cowboys have put their offense in good order. That’s far from the case for the Carolina Panthers. The Cowboys will try to keep it going when they face the Panthers on Sunday afternoon in Charlotte. Dallas (6-3) has won three of its last four games, with the offense a big part of that success. The Panthers (1-8) have the worst record in the NFL. The Cowboys are the
