Football. Turkey. Food coma. An all time football combo. Letâs recap the games from yesterdayâŚ
Bears vs Lions: A game that was a big-time snooze fest for the first half and then some, ended with some big-time action. The Lions were up 16-0 at the half, but then all of a sudden the Bears came storming back. It was 23-20 and the Bears were in position to win or tie with under a minute left in the ball game, but some horrendous clock management by Bears head coach Matt Eberflus had other ideas. He failed to use all of his timeouts and just let the clock run, almost like he was trying to lose on purpose. All that comeback for nothing, the Bears lose and the Lions go to 11-1 for the first time in their history.
Giants vs Cowboys: The final score of 27-20 does not tell the trust story of this game. The Cowboys were in firm control of this game from pretty much the beginning. An incredible pick-six by DeMarvion Overshown gave the Cowboys an early second-quarter 13-7 lead and never really looked back. The Giants scored twice in the fourth quarter to make it a one-possession game, but never got the ball back. Ceedee Lamb was pretty much a non-factor as he was experiencing what many think was an aggravation of his AC joint injury that heâs been battling through. A breakout game for Rico Dowdle: 22 carries, 112 yards, and a tuddy, helped push the Cowboys over the top.
Dolphins vs Packers: The nightcap started out as a one-sided affair. The Packers took a 24-3 lead into halftime! Courtesy of 2 Jayden Reed TDâs and a Josh Jacobs score as well. This game on paper was supposed to be a ot more competitive, but it just shows that teams are what their records are. The Packers are 9-3 for a reason, and the Dolphins are 5-7 for a reason. Miami couldnât seem to get anything going in the cold until late in the game. Jonnu Smith has been an absolute revelation for them as he caught 10 passes for 113 yards. Anybody who got him from the waiver wire is surely smiling ear to ear. The Dolphins scored late, but this was a Green Bay clinic from coast to coast, Packers win, 30-17!
