Patriots Roll Over Giants 33-15


The New England Patriots beat the New York Giants 33-15 on Monday Night Football. It was the Patriots 10th consecutive winning game, moving their NFL-best record to 11-2. The Giants are now 2-11.

The Patriots outgained the Giants 395 to 239, with Drake Maye continuing to make an MVP case. He went 24-of-31 for 282 yards and two touchdowns.

Maye completed passes to eight different receivers, with Hunter Henry catching four for 73. Kyle Williams had a 33-yard touchdown reception, and Kayshon Boutte scored on a 3-yard catch.
The Patriots dominated in all three phases, but three miscues by the Giants special teams allowed New England to run away with it.

Jets Edge Out Falcons On Game-Winning Field Goal


Nick Folk lined a 56-yard field goal through a heavy mist as time expired to lead the New York Jets to a 27-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

In a game between two struggling teams that was anything but pretty, Folk’s kick was also far from it. But in tough conditions, the 41-year-old got just enough on the football and was mobbed at midfield by his teammates as the Jets fans in a drenched and half-empty MetLife Stadium went wild.

Tyrod Taylor went 19 of 33 for 172 yards and a touchdown pass and also ran for a score in his second start for the benched Justin Fields as the Jets (3-9) snapped a two-game skid. Adonai Mitchell had eight receptions for 102 yards and a TD, and Breece Hall ran for 68 yards and a score.

After the defense held Kirk Cousins and the Falcons to a three-and-out, the Jets got the ball back at their 43 with 35 seconds left. Taylor hit Mitchell on the drive to put Folk in position for his winner.

Cousins went 21 of 33 for 234 yards and a touchdown and Bijan Robinson ran for 142 yards and a score and caught five passes for 51 yards for the Falcons (4-8), who lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Lions Rally to Stun Giants


The Detroit Lions defeated the New York Giants 34-27 in Overtime at Ford Field on Sunday. Week 12 was supposed to be easy for the Lions facing NFC’s last-place team Giants, but it wasn’t.

What was set as a double-digit game by the oddsmakers in favor of the Lions turned into a nail-biting, comeback, overtime win for Detroit in front of a relieved crowd. Jahmyr Gibbs raced 69 yards up the middle for a touchdown on the first play of overtime to give the Lions a 34-27 lead.
The Giants had a chance to answer, but Aidan Hutchinson sacked Jameis Winston on fourth down to end the game.

It was not a pretty victory, and for most of the game, New York was sharper than the host Lions, racing out to a 17-7 lead.
The Lions showed more energy and urgency in the second half. Gibbs scorched the Giants defense for 219 rushing yards on just 15 carries, punctuated with the game-winner.

The game featured over 1,000 combined yards of offense: 517 from New York and 494 from Detroit.

The Lions improve to 7-4. The loss drops the Giants to 2-10 and makes New York the first team officially eliminated from the postseason.

Baltimore Ravens Beat New York Jets 23-10


Derrick Henry scored two third-quarter touchdowns and the Baltimore Ravens recovered from a sleepy first half to beat the New York Jets 23-10 on Sunday for their fifth straight victory.

Lamar Jackson went 13 of 23 for 153 yards and didn’t look as mobile as usual after dealing with knee and ankle issues recently. Henry was held to 64 yards on 21 carries.
The Jets (2-9) led 7-3 at halftime, their first lead after two quarters since the season opener against Pittsburgh.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn opted to go with Tyrod Taylor at QB— starting for the benched Justin Fields.
The 36-year-old Taylor, making just his 17th start over the last eight seasons, threw for 222 yards with a touchdown and a late interception against the team that drafted him in the sixth round in the 2011 draft.

The loss clinched the Jets’ 10th straight losing season. The Jets host the Falcons next Sunday.

Note: Derrick Henry had a realistic chance to pass four Hall of Famers on the career rushing list Sunday. He managed to move ahead of three of them. Henry is up to 12,294 yards, 12th all-time after surpassing Marcus Allen (12,243), Edgerrin James (12,246) and Marshall Faulk (12,279) on Sunday.
Jim Brown is next at 12,312.

Yankee Aaron Judge Wins Another MVP Award


Aaron Judge added another chapter to his Yankee legacy, becoming just the fourth player in franchise history to win a third American League MVP with the franchise.
He joined Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle on the list after another season in which he dominated opposing teams, despite playing through a flexor strain in his right elbow for much of the second half of the year.

And unlike the previous two years Judge won the award — in 2022 and last season — there was more drama involved this time around, as Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh was seen as a legitimate contender following his 60-homer season, setting the record for a catcher, as well as a switch-hitter.

But it still wasn’t enough to unseat Judge in the BBWAA voting.
Judge won the first batting title of his career (hitting a career-best .331) and also topped the majors in on-base percentage (.457), slugging percentage (.688) and OPS (1.144) by a wide margin.

Packers Hold Off Giants 27-20


Trailing early and having lost their last two games, the Green Bay Packers could have been in real trouble when quarterback Jordan Love took a big hit to his left shoulder and jogged inside for further evaluation.

Love returned from the injury to throw two touchdown passes, Malik Willis had one of his own while filling in and the Packers ended their skid by defeating the New York Giants 27-20 on Sunday.

Love provided some heroics on the go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter, finding Christian Watson in the end zone with 4:02 left to take the lead. Love completed 13 of 24 passes for 173 yards.
The defense that had been a strength in recent weeks allowed a first-quarter touchdown for the first time this season and could not stop Jameis Winston and the Giants from going on a 15-play, 85-yard scoring drive to go up 20-19.

With Winston making his first start in 11 months and Mike Kafka debuting as interim coach after the firing of Brian Daboll, the Giants (2-9) lost their fifth game in a row despite two touchdown runs from Devin Singletary and a QB sneak touchdown by Winston. The Giant QB was 19 of 29 for 201 yards and lost a fumble on the final play.

Barry Bonds Says Making Baseball’s HOF Not A Concern


Barry Bonds is at peace with his MLB legacy.
The longtime Giants slugger and the league’s all-time home run leader no longer is eligible to be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame after falling short of the required vote threshold for 10 consecutive years from 2013-2022.
However, Bonds is the newest member of the Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame after he, former manager Jim Leyland and catcher Manny Sanguillen were enshrined in a ceremony at PNC Park.

In speaking to reporters after the ceremony, Bonds admitted he finally is at peace with his Baseball Hall of Fame fate after his latest honor.
“I don’t have to worry about those things no more in my life,” Bonds said. Those hopes of making the Hall of Fame, I don’t have them anymore.”
This is a different tone from Bonds, who has criticized Hall of Fame voters numerous times in the past for his exclusion from Cooperstown.
And while the latest honor is not the highest that Bonds is deserving of, the Home Run King is content settling for immortalization in both the Pirates and Giants franchises.

New York Giants Fire Head Coach Brian Daboll


It’s the end of an error in New Jersey. The New York Football Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll, after yet another inexcusable loss — this time to the Chicago Bears.

What were the odds of losing games in which the Giants had leads against the Cowboys, Saints, Broncos, and Bears? It proved to be Daboll’s undoing Monday.
After the Giants loss to Denver — in which the team blew a lead in the closing minutes — reports swirled that team owner John Mara wanted to fire Daboll then. But reportedly cooler heads prevailed at that time, and the coach’s job was spared. Yet another loss of that same variety was too much and Daboll was sent packing.

Chicago Bears Beat New York Giants 24-20


The New York Giants looked ready to snap their three-game losing streak in snowy conditions at Soldier Field on Sunday, but a fourth-quarter rally from the Chicago Bears turned a promising afternoon into another heartbreak. The Bears scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes to defeat the Giants, 24–20.

The Giants led 17-7 late in the third quarter and 17-10 entering the fourth quarter but could not hang on.

Veteran Russell Wilson took over but couldn’t sustain the offense, and Chicago took advantage. Caleb Williams led back-to-back touchdown drives late in the fourth, including a 2-yard pass to Rome Odunze and a 17-yard scramble to the end zone that gave the Bears their first lead since the opening quarter.

The Giants’ final drive stalled near midfield, sealing their fourth straight loss and dropping them to 2–8 on the season. The Bears are 6-3.
