Cowboys fans are celebrating after a dramatic 24-21 victory over the Eagles, highlighted by Dak Prescott's efficient performance and CeeDee Lamb’s clutch catches. The Steelers edged out the Bears 31-28, but controversy swirled around officiating and some late-game decisions. The Patriots pulled off a narrow win against the Bengals, 26-20, with New England’s defense making key stops and rookie running back DeMario Douglas finding the end zone. The Bills stumbled against the Texans, while the 49ers rolled over the Panthers with Christian McCaffrey scoring twice and Brock Purdy continuing his steady play.

Injury news remains front and center. The Ravens are still plagued by a depleted defense with Broderick Washington Jr. and Tavius Robinson on injured reserve. Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid, Curtis Samuel, and linebacker Terrel Bernard are all working through various ailments, with Bernard’s elbow injury possibly leading to extended time away. Mecole Hardman was added to the Bills’ IR, and Tylan Grable is progressing through concussion protocols. Carolina’s secondary took a blow as Jaycee Horn entered concussion protocol and Claudin Cherelus exited Monday’s game with a head injury. The Bears are monitoring Dominique Robinson and Ruben Hyppolite II for possible returns, while Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson remain sidelined. For fantasy football managers, adjusting lineups has been crucial as injuries alter the landscape—Dalton Kincaid's absence boosts Dawson Knox’s value, and Mecole Hardman’s IR stint increases Curtis Samuel’s upside when healthy.

Coaching turmoil continues to dominate headlines. According to CBS Sports, the Raiders are rumored to be weighing options for replacing Pete Carroll as head coach after a disastrous 2-8 start. Front office loyalty seems centered on GM John Spytek, but speculation about Carroll’s future looms large. The Browns are another franchise facing possible changes, with Kevin Stefanski’s future uncertain as Cleveland’s record nose-dives. Miami’s ownership reportedly remains behind Mike McDaniel for now, but any new general manager could make a change if late-season results falter. The Falcons’ decline under Raheem Morris is putting both him and GM Terry Fontenot on the hot seat, especially with Atlanta sliding toward a top-five draft slot. Minnesota regrets benching Sam Darnold for rookie J.J. McCarthy, whose struggles have led to whispers about another quarterback shakeup.

Off-field drama includes mounting criticism of the Steelers’ coaching staff and front office, following embarrassing breakdowns and questionable personnel moves, as noted by Yardbarker. Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders have opened Noah Brown’s practice window as they juggle injuries across their wide receiver corps. The Lions are focused on maximizing a new interim coach’s momentum with Dan Campbell’s guidance, while around the league, locker room morale is shifting as teams brace for coaching and front office moves.

Looking ahead to the Thanksgiving slate and beyond, anticipation is growing for heavyweight matchups—Packers vs. Lions could have playoff implications, and both teams are monitoring key injuries like Josh Jacobs for the Packers and Keisean Nixon’s status. As for upcoming games, the Patriots face a struggling Bengals squad, with fantasy managers eyeing Patriots RBs and Bengals WRs for potential breakout performances. The Falcons-Saints clash features two teams desperate to make up ground, and Christian McCaffrey remains a fantasy must-start for the 49ers after his multi-TD showcase.

In the wider world of professional football, injury comebacks are fueling full training returns across teams, according to AFLFootball.com, potentially reshuffling lineups and game plans as we approach the crucial final stretch of the season.
