Week 12 of the NFL is now just one game away from being over.
Games on Thursday and Sunday were filled with action and heartbreak. Here are some of the best moments you may have missed below.
The Chicago Bears are looking great, and with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky back, they really could be contenders:
After missing the Thanksgiving game vs. the Lions, Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky is hopeful to play next Sunday vs. Giants but it is not certain he will and missing one more game is possible, per source. If he were to miss that one, he would be expected to return the following week.

Can anyone in NFC beat the Saints?

The Saints can clinch the NFC South with a win and a Panthers loss next week.

With Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens actually look pretty good:
Here come the Ravens with Lamar J at QB. I’ll say it again: They should’ve started him from the start of the season. As Michael Vick said last week on Undisputed, Lamar is straight-line faster than he was in his Atlanta days.

Ravens LB Matt Judon became the first player to record a sack on three straight plays since Cullen Jenkins did it for the Packers in Week 15 of 2006.

The #49ers are releasing LB Reuben Foster, their former first round pick who is still in jail on another domestic violence charge. He goes on waivers.

Hue Jackson never being able to win with the Browns and then switching sides in the season after getting fired and getting destroyed by the Browns is one of the most devastating NFL coaching turns ever. Not sure how you come back from that.
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) November 25, 2018
Believe it or not, the Browns and Packers have the same record (4-6-1).
