Thursday Night: Steelers 18 - Patriots 21
Let's take a look into the NFL's Week 14 Thursday Night and Sunday early window matchups. Starting with our Thursday night showdown between the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Pats stole a win from the Steelers making their playoff push a little more difficult.
Falcons 25 - Buccaneers 29
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Atlanta Falcons to take the lead of the lowly NFC South Division.

Bears 28 - Lions 13
The Chicago Bears pulled off a shocking upset to the NFC North Division leading Detroit Lions. The Bears were led by the dynamic duo of Justin Fields and DJ Moore, while the other quarterback wide receiver duo of Jared Goff and Amon Ra St. Brown had a lackluster outing.
Bengals 34 - Colts 14

Joe Flacco finds the fountain of youth as he throws for over 300 yards, 3 touchdowns, and a lone interception, On the other side, hobbled Trevor Lawrence plays through an ankle sprain but still struggled a bit early on as he finished the game with 3 of both touchdowns and interceptions.
Saints 28 - Panthers 6

Jets 30 - Texans 6
The New York Jets find their footing in a dominant win over the Houston Texans. Rookie quarterback sensation C.J. Stroud struggles heavily against the physical Jets Defense.

Ravens 37 - Rams 31
