Joe Burrow returned from injury to throw two second-half touchdown passes, sparking the Cincinnati Bengals to a 32-14 win and snapping Baltimore’s five-game winning streak. The Ravens unraveled with five turnovers — including three by Lamar Jackson and a goal-line fumble by Isaiah Likely — allowing Cincinnati to pull away on scoring grabs by Tanner Hudson and Andrei Iosivas.

Dak Prescott threw two touchdowns and Malik Davis broke free for a 43-yard score as the Dallas Cowboys edged the Kansas City Chiefs 31-28 on Thanksgiving. Patrick Mahomes kept Kansas City in it with four touchdown passes — including two on fourth down — and a late 42-yard strike to Xavier Worthy that set up a Hollywood Brown score, but Dallas protected its lead on the final drive.

Jordan Love threw four touchdown passes and powered a Green Bay offense that punted only twice, guiding the Packers past the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is here, which means we’ve reached the part of the season where the offseason starts to creep into view and frustrated fanbases turn their eyes toward free agency and the NFL draft. With that in mind, we’ve pulled together an early look at some of the standout potential free agents set to hit the market in 2026.

Christian McCaffrey totaled 142 yards and scored in his return to Carolina, powering the San Francisco 49ers to a 20-9 win despite Brock Purdy’s three first-half interceptions. San Francisco shifted to a run-heavy, short-passing approach after halftime, with McCaffrey’s 12-yard touchdown run and a Matt Gay field goal extending a lead the defense protected throughout. Bryce Young managed only 169 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, including a costly red-zone pick in the fourth quarter, as Carolina squandered multiple chances to keep pace and fell to 6-6.

We’re using PFF’s Premium Stats to dig into the numbers behind Shedeur Sanders’ first NFL start. And the data offers a clearer look at how he performed beyond the box score.

Every week, we break down the matchups, data angles and player tendencies that matter most to bettors, building a library of actionable insights you can use across the season.

Saquon Barkley draws one of the week’s most favorable trench matchups, pairing his top-10 yards-before-contact profile with a Dallas defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in the same metric. Kansas City’s Hunt brings similar touchdown equity on volume alone, converting 24 of 29 short-yardage carries and owning nearly all of the Chiefs’ inside-the-5 work this season.

Recapping the week in PFF grades, data and insights.

Houston’s top-ranked defense overwhelmed the Buffalo Bills throughout a mistake-heavy 23-19 loss on Thursday night, dropping Buffalo to 7-4. Josh Allen was sacked eight times — the most in his career — as Danielle Hunter, Will Anderson Jr. and the Texans’ front repeatedly collapsed the pocket, while three Bills turnovers and persistent tackling issues on defense kept Houston in control.

Dak Prescott threw for 268 yards and four touchdowns as the Dallas Cowboys controlled the Las Vegas Raiders in a 33-16 win on Monday night. Prescott consistently attacked through the air, feeding George Pickens for 144 yards and a score and connecting with CeeDee Lamb for another touchdown, while Javonte Williams added 93 rushing yards to keep the offense balanced.

Philadelphia’s lone touchdown came on a trademark Jalen Hurts tush push, but it was the Eagles’ front seven that dictated the game from start to finish. Relentless at the line of scrimmage, they held Detroit to 0-for-5 on fourth down and kept Jared Goff under constant duress, collapsing pockets and disrupting timing throughout the night. It was a defensive performance strikingly reminiscent of their 2024 Super Bowl run — disciplined, physical and completely overwhelming.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders captured their fifth Grey Cup title, defeating the Montreal Alouettes 25-17 behind a dominant defensive showing and three short-yardage touchdowns from Tommy Stevens. Trevor Harris threw for more than 300 yards while A.J. Ouellette added a five-yard rushing score, and Saskatchewan’s defense produced three interceptions — including two by Marcus Sayles and a late red-zone takeaway by Tevaughn Campbell.

Bo Nix led a late 10-play drive to set up Wil Lutz’s 35-yard field goal with seconds remaining, lifting the Denver Broncos to a 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and a commanding 9-2 lead in the AFC West.

In a game between two of the NFL's best teams, Los Angeles' defense proved the difference. The Rams haunted Sam Darnold to the tune of four interceptions despite a quiet day from Matthew Stafford. Jason Myers' potential game-winning 61-yard field goal missed wide right, moving the Rams to 8-2.
