| NFL HOSTS FIFTH CAREERS IN FOOTBALL FORUM FOR HBCU STUDENTS | Career development program for Historically Black Colleges and Universities to be hosted virtually NEW YORK (December 7, 2020) – More than 150 students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities have been selected to attend the 2020 NFL HBCU Careers in Football Forum. The annual forum, held virtually this year, will take place on December 10 and 11. Since 2016, the Forum has introduced more than 300 students and entry-level athletic department administrators to career opportunities in professional football. Each year, the Forum invites participants to hear from sports industry professionals and creates networking opportunities for students to learn more about their desired career path. This year, attendees will represent 39 institutions. "An important aspect of strengthening diversity and inclusion within our league is continued development of the talent pipeline," said NFL Vice President of Football Strategy and Business Development, Natara Holloway. "One of several key programs that help introduce us to the next generation of industry leaders, the Careers in Football Forum also provides attendees an inside look at the sports industry. We look forward to our continued efforts and ever-evolving relationships with HBCUs across the country." The event will open with a panel discussion entitled "Commissioners Corner" featuring Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Commissioner Gregory Moore, Southwestern Athletic Conference Commissioner Dr. Charles McClelland, Mid-eastern Athletic Conference Associate Commissioner Sonja Stills, and Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Commissioner Jacquie McWilliams. The panelists will share insights on the roles and responsibilities of an athletic conference commissioner. On day two, attendees will engage with NFL league office and club human resources representatives, followed by a conversation with club executives featuring Washington Football Team President Jason Wright, Carolina Panthers President Tom Glick, Atlanta Falcons President and CEO Rich McKay, and Baltimore Ravens Executive Vice President and Former General Manager Ozzie Newsome. Covering football administration and careers found across the sports industry, other event panelists include representatives from Nike, the Fritz Pollard Alliance, Roc Nation, the NCAA, and other collegiate athletic office. The forum will conclude with breakout sessions where attendees can speak with professionals in their discipline of choice in areas ranging from football operations to marketing. Since the program's inception, 11 students from the Forum have gone on to secure internships or full-time opportunities with the NFL, NFL clubs, colleges and universities, and other sports entities. "The HBCU Careers in Football Forum provides an unmatched level of access to professional development advice and connection to industry professionals across multiple facets of the world of sports," said Micah Holmes, NFL Junior Rotational Program participant. "Being able to continue my work with the Football Operations team at the Careers in Football Forum allowed me to gain hands-on experience running larger events, but also see first-hand how important events like these are to HBCU students who may not traditionally have this level of access to the NFL and representatives of other large sports entities. As a member of the Junior Rotational Program and an HBCU Alum (Morehouse College), I can attest to the fact that the professional development advice, networking opportunities, and encouragement from professionals at the Forum helped propel my career forward and a mandatory experience for HBCU students looking to make their mark in the sports world in the future." This year, the league established an online talent community to serve as a source of diverse talent for current and future career opportunities accessible by the league office and NFL clubs. Through the platform, HBCU students can submit an expression of interest which outlines their professional experience, career goals and specific interest in working in professional football. Individuals can also interact with an NFL Talent Specialist to learn about league news, careers, networking opportunities and recruitment events after the Forum. | Seven From Sunday - Week 13 | A look at seven statistical highlights from games played at 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, December 6, the 13th week of the 2020 season.

He leads the league with 33 touchdown passes and a 117.6 rating. With two touchdown passes on Sunday against Philadelphia (4:25 PM ET, CBS), Rodgers can become the first player in NFL history to record five seasons with at least 35 touchdown passes. He also accomplished the feat in 2016 (40 touchdown passes), 2014 (38), 2012 (39) and 2011 (45).

Hill has recorded at least 10 receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown in each of his past two games and can become the third player to do so in three consecutive games in NFL history, joining KEENAN ALLEN (three games in 2017) and MICHAEL THOMAS (three games in 2019). -- NFL -- KELCE’S KINGDOM: Kansas City tight end TRAVIS KELCE leads all tight ends with 74 catches and 978 receiving yards this season, while tying for the lead with seven touchdown receptions. Kelce, who has had at least 80 receptions in each of the past four seasons, needs six catches against Denver on Sunday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NBC) to join Pro Football Hall of Famer TONY GONZALEZ (eight seasons) and JASON WITTEN (six) as the only tight ends with five career seasons of 80-or-more receptions. Kelce would be the first tight end with at least 80 receptions in five consecutive seasons.

NOT A PROBLEM: Jacksonville running back JAMES ROBINSON leads all rookies and ranks third in the NFL with 890 rushing yards this season. With 110 rushing yards at Minnesota on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS), Robinson can become the fourth undrafted rookie to record 1,000 rushing yards in the common-draft era.

| Notas de la NFL de la decimotercera semana | LA ESPERANZA DE TODOS CRECE CUANDO LA NFL LLEGA DICIEMBRE El miembro del Salón de la Fama VINCE LOMBARDI alguna vez dijo que hay sólo una manera detener éxito, y es dándolo todo. Y como la temporada 2020 llega a diciembre, el momento de darlo todo ha llegado. La decimotercera semana arranca con una docena de partidos el domingo, todos con implicancia de postemporada, con 14 plazas disponibles y con la historia por hacerse. Pero primero, los BALTIMORE RAVENS concluyen la duodécima semana visitando a los PITTSBURGH STEELERS (miércoles, 3:40 PM, NBC). Será el tercer partido en día miércoles en la historia de la NFL desde 1941. El 5 de septiembre de 2012, los Dallas Cowboys derrotaron 24-17 a los campeones defensores del Super Bowl del momento, los New York Giants, para inaugurar la temporada. Y, el 22 de septiembre de 1948, los Los Angeles Rams abrieron su temporada con una victoria en casa 44-7 sobre los Detroit Lions. CONTENDIENTES DE DICIEMBRE. Quince equipos de la NFL tienen marca de .500 o mejor, incluyendo a los BALTIMORE RAVENS (6-4), KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (10-1) y NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (9-2). Desde 2017, esos equipos estuvieron consistentemente entre los mejores en los últimos tramos de temporada. Los equipos con los mejores registros en temporada regular en diciembre y enero a lo largo de las últimas tres campañas: EQUIPO | G | P | E | PCT | Kansas City Chiefs | 12 | 3 | 0 | .800 | Baltimore Ravens | 12 | 3 | 0 | .800 | Philadelphia Eagles | 11 | 4 | 0 | .733 | Atlanta Falcons | 10 | 4 | 0 | .714 | New Orleans Saints | 9 | 4 | 0 | .692 |
FORTALEZA VS. FORTALEZA. En una batalla entre equipos de la AFC con marca de 8-3, los CLEVELAND BROWNS viajan para verse las caras con los TENNESSEE TITANS el domingo (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS). Los Browns están disfrutando su mejor inicio desde que también estuvieron 8-3 en 1994, mientras que los Titans tienen su mejor marca a lo largo de 11 partidos desde estuvieron 10-1 en 2008. - Cleveland, que tiene la mejor ofensiva terrestre de la liga (161.4 yardas por partido), se enfrenta a los Titans de DERRICK HENRY, que lidera la NFL con 1,257 yardas por tierra.
- En realidad, el duelo tendrá tres de los mejores acarreadores de la NFL, incluyendo a los de los Browns NICK CHUBB (719 yardas por tierra, empatado en el sexto puesto) y KAREEM HUNT (706, noveno). El dúo de Cleveland está a ritmo de convertirse en el primer par de jugadores de los de Browns en registrar cada uno 1,000 yardas por tierra en la misma temporada desde EARNEST BYNER (1,002) y KEVIN MACK (1,104) en 1985.
- Henry, que lideró a NFL con 1,540 yardas por tierra en 2019, busca convertirse en el primer jugador en encabezar la liga en yardas por tierra en temporadas consecutivas desde que el miembro del Salón de la Fama LADAINIAN TOMLINSON lo hiciera en 2006-07.
- La semana pasada, Henry acarreó 178 yardas y tres anotaciones en el triunfo de los Titans 45-26 en Indianapolis.

| RECORD NUMBER OF NFL PLAYERS RAISE AWARENESS THROUGH MY CAUSE MY CLEATS | Campaign helps bring causes to the forefront in its fifth season NEW YORK (December 1, 2020) – For the fifth-consecutive season, NFL players will raise awareness for non-profit organizations and causes on the field through the My Cause My Cleats campaign. This year a record number of more than 1000 players will participate, highlighting efforts to help make a difference in communities across the country. My Cause My Cleats launches today on Giving Tuesday. NFL clubs and players will continue to unveil cause-inspired cleats throughout the week. The player-led campaign began in 2016 and has since provided a platform to bring causes they are most passionate about to the forefront on gameday. This year's causes include topics such as tackling social injustice, supporting families in the wake of COVID-19, and bridging the digital divide. Out of the total 20.5 percent of players selected social justice causes, 17 percent selected causes related to youth and education while 14 percent of players will support health and wellness-related initiatives. Players worked with artists and cleat manufacturers to create their custom-designed cleats and will wear them during Week 13. Some NFL teams without a home game during Week 13 may also activate during Week 14. "My Cause My Cleats was created out of conversations with NFL players who wanted an opportunity to shed light on causes that mean the most to them," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "Season after season I am inspired by the growing number of NFL players that participate in My Cause My Cleats and the causes they represent. Each player has a story to tell and we are grateful for the impact they make in the communities in which they live and work, and society in general." In the coming weeks, the league will highlight players and their causes through national television spots and features.
