49ers 34, Jaguars 3
What a good way for the 49ers to respond after losing 3 straight games. They went on to destroy the Jags who coming in were one of the hottest teams in the league. 49ers defense played a big role only allowing the Jags to put 3 points on the board.
Browns 33, Ravens 31
In the last few minutes of the game this looked just about over. The score was 31-17 with just 4 minutes left in the game. The Browns scored, got an interception, and then scored again in a matter of just a couple minutes. Then they ended the game with a game winning field goal.
Cardinals 25, Falcons 23

This game was insanely fun to watch and was obviously a very high scoring one. Lions finish the game with the game winning field goal to put them up by 3 and secure the win. Are the Lions super bowl contenders?
Cowboys 49, Giants 17
Yeah no Daniel Jones, we kind of all saw this coming. Honestly surprised they even scored 17.

Fantasy Players of The Week
Jahmyr Gibbs - 26.20 points
Gibbs carried the ball 14 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns and caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.
Dak Prescott - 38.86 points
Dak Prescott completed 26-of-35 passes for 404 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Cowboys' 49-17 win over the Giants. He also added 17 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Amon-Ra St. Brown - 30.50 points
Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 8-of-9 targets for 156 yards and one touchdown in the Lions’ 41-38 win over the Chargers. St. Brown scored in the third quarter on a 20-yard touchdown reception to give Detroit the lead in a see-saw battle with the Chargers. His 46-yard reception was the longest passing play of the day for the Lions. Fantasy managers can leave St. Brown as a locked in starter heading into Week 11.
Noah Brown - 24.20 points
Noah Brown caught seven of eight targets for 172 yards during the Texans' 30-27 win over the Bengals in Week 10. This was a career effort from Brown, who has been one of the Texans' top receivers with 325 yards over his last two games. Although Brown seems to have emerged out of nowhere, he has vaulted himself into WR3/FLEX consideration for Week 11.
Tyrese Maxey Goes For 50 Against The Pacers
Tyrese Maxey delivered an outstanding performance with a personal best of 50 points, while Joel Embiid contributed 37 points, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to their eighth consecutive win. The team's record improved to 8-1 after defeating the Indiana Pacers 137-126 on Sunday night.
Maxey, who was remarkably efficient with a 20-for-32 shooting, also added seven rebounds, five assists, and three blocks. This game marked a new career-high for him, surpassing his previous record of 44 points set against Toronto on October 28, 2022. At 23 years old, Maxey now shares a record with Sixers icon Allen Iverson as one of the youngest in the franchise to score 50 or more points.
A highlight of the game was Maxey's 32-foot step-back three-pointer, assisted by Embiid, who has previously nicknamed Maxey “The Franchise.” Maxey appreciated the support, saying, “Joel wanted me to get 50 more than I did. He passed me the ball and said, ‘You are going to shoot this basketball.’ That’s why I appreciate my teammates, my coaches, and the fans. It was a great night, and most importantly, we won.”
Embiid also had a strong game with 13 rebounds in 33 minutes. The 76ers are experiencing their best start since the 2000-01 season, which led them to the NBA Finals.
Embiid commented on the team's performance, saying, “We are playing together and trusting each other. It might seem like we didn’t play defense tonight, but Indiana plays at such a fast pace. They are bound to score a lot, but we competed well. We let our guard down briefly, but thankfully, we had Tyrese to help us finish strong.”
Ja Morant Is Working Hard To Return
The Memphis Grizzlies, currently at an NBA-worst 1-8, are feeling the absence of star guard Ja Morant, who is serving a 25-game suspension and is set to return mid-December. Morant's suspension, resulting from two incidents involving gun display on social media, has left the team without one of its key players. Coach Taylor Jenkins noted that Morant remains engaged with the team through practices and team activities.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has stipulated that Morant must complete a league-mandated program addressing his behavior before returning to play. Despite practicing with the team's secondary units, Morant's role upon return, whether as a starter or off the bench, is still undecided.
The Grizzlies' struggle this season is compounded by injuries to key players like Derrick Rose and Steven Adams. Coach Jenkins and Morant have been in continuous dialogue, focusing on both basketball and personal growth.
