​LAS LUCHAS POR CLASIFICAR SE CALIENTAN CUANDO LA TEMPORADA DE LA NFL INGRESA EN DICIEMBRE
Cuando el calendario da una vuelta la página hacia diciembre, el panorama para la postemporada de la NFL está empezando a tomar forma. Con cinco semanas por jugarse en la temporada regular, hay actualmente 24 equipos dentro o a dos partidos de conseguir una plaza en la postemporada.
A lo largo de las últimas cinco temporadas, los Carolina Panthers (19-5, .792) y los Seattle Seahawks (19-5, .792) ostentan la mejor marca en el mes final, que también incluye juegos de temporada regular disputados en enero. Los New England Patriots (18-6, .750) lideran la AFC.

“Los juegos de diciembre son los más importantes de la temporada regular por lejos”, dice el analista de NFL Network y ex entrenador en jefe de la NFL STEVE MARIUCCI. “Es extremadamente importante ganar en diciembre y hacerse un camino hacia la postemporada.”
Cuando la temporada de la NFL ingresa a su último mes, cuatro equipos están en plena carrera hacia la línea de meta con sendas rachas ganadoras de al menos cinco partidos: Dallas (10), Miami (seis), los New York Giants (seis) y Oakland (cinco).
“El ímpetu es real para nosotros ahora mismo”, dice el ala cerrada de los Cowboys JASON WITTEN. “Nuestro equipo de fútbol americano es muy divertido. Es grandioso ser parte de esto y liderar un gran grupo de muchachos. Diez victorias son buena, pero no son garantía de nada tras 11 juegos. Tenemos que continuar construyendo mientras vamos hacia el tramo crítico.”
Ese tramo crítico comienza el jueves por la noche, cuando Dallas visite a Minnesota (8:25 PM, hora de New York, NBC/NFLN/Twitter). Los Cowboys llegan a diciembre con la mejor marca de la liga (10-1) y con una ventaja de dos juegos sobre los Giants en la NFC Este. Minnesota (6-5) comienza el último mes de la temporada regular apenas un partido detrás de Detroit (7-4), en el primer puesto de la NFC Norte.
La semana concluye con un par de duelos en horario central con implicancias de postemporada. El domingo por la noche (8:30 PM, hora de New York, NBC), los Seahawks recibirán a los Panthers en un duelo entre equipos que representaron a la NFC en cada uno de los últimos tres Super Bowls. Seattle (7-3-1) ingresa a el duelo con una ventaja de tres partidos en la NFC Oeste, mientras que Carolina (4-7) busca permanecer con vida en la lucha por alcanzar la postemporada en la NFC. El lunes por la noche (8:30 PM, hora de New York, ESPN), los Indianapolis Colts visitarán a los New York Jets. Los Colts (5-6) están apenas un juego detrás de los líderes de la AFC Sur, los Houston Texans (6-5), en la puja divisional.

Algunos de los duelos clave de la decimotercera semana:
DALLAS COWBOYS (10-1) en MINNESOTA VIKINGS (6-5) (Jueves, NBC/NFLN/Twitter, 8:25 PM, hora de New York)
  • Los Cowboys ganaron 10 juegos en línea, incluyendo un triunfo 31-26 sobre Washington en Acción de Gracias. El mariscal de campo novato DAK PRESCOTT registró un índice de pasador de 100 o más en nueve de las 10 victorias del equipo y el corredor novatoEZEKIEL ELLIOTT lidera la NFL con 1,199 yardas por tierra.
  • Los Vikings se ubican segundos en la NFL –y lideran la NFC– con un diferencial de intercambios de balón de 12 o más. El esquinero XAVIER RHODES tiene cuatro intercepciones, empatando la segunda mayor cantidad en la conferencia. En la undécima semana contra Arizona, Rhodes tuvo dos intercepciones, incluyendo una anotación mediante retorno de intercepción de 100 yardas, una marca de franquicia.

    KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (8-3) en ATLANTA FALCONS (7-4) (Domingo, CBS, 1:00 PM, hora de New York)
  • Los Chiefs mejoraron a 8-3 con un triunfo 30-27 en la prórroga en Denver el domingo por la noche. El receptor novato TYREEK HILL tuvo una anotación mediante retorno de patada inicial, un acarreo anotador y una recepción anotadora en el juego, convirtiéndose en el primer jugador en lograr tal hazaña desde el miembro del Salón de la Fama GALE SAYERS en 1965.  
  • Los Falcons mantuvieron su liderazgo en la NFC Sur con una victoria 38-19 sobre Arizona. El mariscal de campo MATT RYAN lanzó 269 yardas y dos anotaciones –ambas al receptor TAYLOR GABRIEL– y se convirtió en el primer jugador en la historia de la NFL en superar al menos las 200 yardas aéreas en 50 juegos consecutivos. 

MIAMI DOLPHINS (7-4) en BALTIMORE RAVENS (6-5) (Domingo, CBS, 1:00 PM, hora de New York)
  • Los Dolphins, liderados por el entrenador en jefe novato ADAM GASE, ganaron seis juegos consecutivos, la racha actual más larga en la AFC. La semana pasada, el mariscal de campo RYAN TANNEHILL lanzó 285 yardas y tres anotaciones en el triunfo de Miami 31-24 sobre San Francisco.
  • Los Ravens llegan a diciembre empatados con Pittsburgh en la cima de la AFC Norte. En la duodécima semana, Baltimore derrotó a Cincinnati 19-14 gracias en gran parte a los cuatro goles de campo de JUSTIN TUCKER. Tucker convirtió tres goles de campo de al menos 50 yardas en la primera mitad y es el único jugador en la historia de la liga en lograr tal hazaña.  

DETROIT LIONS (7-4) en NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (5-6) (Domingo, FOX, 1:00 PM, hora de New York)
  • Los Lions ganaron tres juegos en línea y tomaron posesión en solitario del primer puesto de la NFC Norte con el triunfo 16-13 sobre Minnesota en Acción de Gracias. El esquinero DARIUS SLAY tuvo una intercepción clave en el cuarto periodo con 38 segundos por jugarse para establecer el gol de campo definitorio de MATT PRATERcuando el reloj expiraba. Detroit es el primer equipo en la historia de la NFL en tener cada uno de sus primeros 11 juegos decididos por siete puntos o menos.
  • Los Saints derrotaron a Los Angeles 49-21 la semana pasada en un partido en el que el mariscal de campo DREW BREES lanzó 310 yardas, con cuatro anotaciones, y acarreó otra. Brees tiene tres juegos en su carrera con al menos cuatro pases anotadores y un acarreo anotador, la mayor cantidad en la historia de la NFL. Esta temporada, Brees tiene 30 pases anotadores y extendió su racha a nueve temporadas consecutivas con al menos 30 pases anotadores, una marca de la NFL. Tiene nueve temporadas en su carrera con al menos 30 pases anotadores, empatando con el miembro del Salón de la Fama BRETT FAVRE y PEYTON MANNING en la mayor cantidad en la historia de la NFL. 

    BUFFALO BILLS (6-5) en OAKLAND RAIDERS (9-2) (Domingo, CBS, 4:05 PM, hora de New York)
  • Los Bills buscan su tercera victoria consecutiva tras la victoria 28-21 de la semana pasada versus Jacksonville. El corredor LE SEAN MC COY acarreó 103 yardas y dos anotaciones, incluyendo un acarreo anotador de 75 yardas en la primera jugada desde la línea de golpeo en la segunda mitad. McCoy tiene nueve acarreos anotadores esta temporada, empatando la segunda mayor cantidad en la AFC.
  • Los Raiders ganaron cinco juegos en línea, incluyendo el triunfo 35-32 de la semana pasada sobre Carolina. Después de que los Panthers anotaran 25 puntos sin respuesta y tomar una ventaja de ocho puntos en el marcador en el último período, el mariscal de campo DEREK CARR guió a los Raiders hacia los últimos 11 puntos del partido. El ala defensiva KHALIL MACK devolvió una intercepción hasta la anotación y tuvo una captura, un balón suelto forzado y un recobro de balón suelto contra los Panthers. Es el primer jugador en tener una anotación mediante retorno de intercepción, una captura, un balón suelto forzado y un recobro de balón suelto en el mismo juego desde CHARLES WOODSON en 2009.

NEW YORK GIANTS (8-3) en PITTSBURGH STEELERS (6-5) (Domingo, FOX, 4:25 PM, hora de New York)
  • Los Giants, liderados por el entrenador en jefe novato BEN MC ADOO, ganaron seis juegos consecutivos y tienen la segunda mejor marca en la NFC en 8-3. La semana pasada, los Giants derrotaron a los Browns 27-13 en Cleveland. El ala defensiva JASON PIERRE-PAUL tuvo tres capturas, un pico de carrera, un balón suelto forzado y una anotación mediante retorno de balón suelto recuperado de 43 yardas en el triunfo. Es el primer jugador con al menos tres capturas y una anotación mediante retorno de balón suelto recuperado de 40 o más yardas en el mismo juego desde 1982, el primer año en el que las capturas individuales se convirtieron en estadística oficial.
  • Los Steelers derrotaron a Indianapolis 28-7 en la noche de Acción de Gracias en parte debido a que el mariscal de campo BEN ROETHLISBERGER lanzó tres pases anotadores al receptor ANTONIO BROWN. Brown lidera la NFL con 82 recepciones esta temporada y está empatando el liderazgo de la liga con 10 recepciones anotadoras. 

    ​​​​CAROLINA PANTHERS (4-7) en SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (7-3-1) (Domingo, NBC, 8:30 PM, hora de New York)
  • A lo largo de las últimas cinco temporadas, los Panthers y los Seahawks están empatados con la mejor marca de la liga en partidos de temporada regular en diciembre/enero (19-5, .792). Los equipos se combinaron para representar a la NFC en cada uno de los últimos tres Super Bowls: Seattle (XLVIII y XLIX) y Carolina (50). Los clubes participaron de la vuelta Divisional en cada una de las últimas dos temporadas con los equipos repartiéndose esos dos encuentros. 
  • Los Panthers ganaron 16 de sus últimos 18 juegos de temporada regular disputados en diciembre/enero, aventajando a sus oponentes por un marcador unificado de 509-307. La temporada pasada, el mariscal de campo CAM NEWTON tuvo 15 pases anotadores con una intercepción y un índice de pasador de 119.4, y acarreó tres anotaciones en el último mes (cinco partidos).

PLAYOFF RACES HEAT UP AS NFL SEASON ENTERS DECEMBER
As the calendar turns to December, the NFL playoff picture is starting to take shape. With five weeks remaining in the regular season, there are currently 24 teams either in or within two games of a playoff spot.
Over the past five seasons, the Carolina Panthers (19-5, .792) and Seattle Seahawks (19-5, .792) own the best record in the final month, which also includes regular-season games played in January. The New England Patriots (18-6, .750) lead the AFC.

“The games in December are the most important regular-season games by far,” says NFL Network analyst and former NFL head coach STEVE MARIUCCI. “It’s extremely important to win in December and to make a run at the playoffs.”
As the NFL season enters the final month, four teams are racing towards the finish line with winning streaks of at least five games – Dallas (10), Miami (six), the New York Giants (six) and Oakland (five).
“The momentum is real for us right now,” says Cowboys tight end JASON WITTEN. “Our football team is a lot of fun. It’s neat to be a part of this and lead a great group of guys. Ten wins is good but they don’t hang any banners after 11 games. We have to continue to build here going into a critical stretch.”
That critical stretch begins on Thursday night when Dallas visits Minnesota (8:25 PM ET, NBC/NFLN/Twitter). The Cowboys enter December with the league’s best record (10-1) and a two-game lead over the Giants in the NFC East. Minnesota (6-5) begins the final month of the regular season just one game behind Detroit (7-4) for first place in the NFC North.
The week concludes with a pair of primetime contests with playoff implications. On Sunday night (8:30 PM ET, NBC), the Seahawks will host the Panthers in a matchup between teams that represented the NFC in each of the past three Super Bowls. Seattle (7-3-1) enters the contest with a three-game lead in the NFC West while Carolina (4-7) looks to stay alive in the NFC playoff hunt. On Monday night (8:30 PM ET, ESPN), the Indianapolis Colts will visit the New York Jets. The Colts (5-6) sit just one game behind the AFC South leading Houston Texans (6-5) in the division race. Some of the key contests in Week 13:

NFL PLAYERS' CAUSES TAKE THE FIELD WITH
MY CAUSE, MY CLEATS CAMPAIGN

Players across league to wear custom cleats reflecting their commitment to charitable causes during Week 13 games

Causes promoted in collaboration with The Players’ Tribune

NFL players will have the chance to share the causes that are important to them during all Week 13 games, as part of the NFL’s My Cause, My Cleats campaign. The initiative is a culmination of 18 months of collaborative work between the NFL and players across the league, and it includes an online storytelling platform, in partnership with The Players’ Tribune. Throughout the season, participating players have worked with The Players’ Tribune to tell the stories behind their cleats via long-form features and profile cards. ​
More than 500 players are planning to showcase their causes on-field during games, and many have worked directly with Nike, Under Armour and adidas to design their cleats, which will arrive in locker rooms this week, and will be worn on-field for all Week 13 games. Some teams, including the New York Giants and Houston Texans, worked with an independent customizer to design cleats for players on the team who opted to participate in the campaign.
Every cleat tells a story. Panthers tight end GREG OLSEN’S cleat will tell the story of his son, T.J., who survived a heart defect in his infancy, and will raise awareness for congenital heart defects and the HEARTest Yard initiative. Chiefs safety ERIC BERRY, 2016 Comeback Player of the Year, will use his cleat to tell the story of his battle with cancer and help raise awareness for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (see photo above). Cowboys tight end JASON WITTENwill use his cleats to raise awareness about healthy relationships and mentoring, as part of his SCORE Foundation. Cardinals running back DAVID JOHNSON’S cleats will tell the story of his being bullied as a child and his work with STOMP Out Bullying to help other kids going through the same experience. Many players have opted to join forces in support of causes they care about, including five players who will wear cleats that tell the stories of communities in East Africa that receive desperately-needed clean water through the Waterboys initiative, spearheaded by New England Patriots defensive end CHRIS LONG.  Ten players across the league, including Cardinals safety TYRANN MATHIEU and Buccaneers wide receiver MIKE EVANS will wear gold cleats (see photo at right) that tell the story of treating all people with respect and dignity and sidelining racism through the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality (RISE) nonprofit organization. These are just a few examples of the causes important to players and the ways they’ll express their commitment. Beginning this week, players will start sharing images of their cleats and the stories behind them on social media, using the hashtag#mycausemycleats.
“One of the great NFL traditions is how our players passionately support important causes in their communities and around the globe every year,” said NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL.  “They are incredibly creative by nature so we are not surprised how they are seizing the opportunity this week with inspiring expressions of their charitable commitments on their cleats, online and through social media.”
In addition, players will have the opportunity to raise funds for the cause of their choosing by auctioning their cleats off at NFL Auction; 100% of funds raised will be donated to charities selected by players—all designated charities must have 501c3 status.  Players including Panthers linebacker THOMAS DAVIS are planning to use NFL Auction to raise funds for their causes. Davis will raise funds for the Thomas Davis Defending Dreams Foundation.
A special My Cause, My Cleats themed television spot started airing during yesterday’s games and will continue airing this week. The spot, which features Jets wide receiver BRANDON MARSHALL designing his cleats with kids from his Project 375 foundation, which focuses on promoting awareness of mental health, can be viewed here.

  • New England quarterback TOM BRADY passed for 286 yards and two touchdowns – including the game-winner with 1:56 remaining in the fourth quarter – in the Patriots’ 22-17 win at the New York Jets. Including the postseason, Brady has 200 career victories, tied with PEYTON MANNING for the most in NFL history
    Brady has 60,229 career passing yards and became the fifth player in NFL history to reach 60,000 passing yards, joining PEYTON MANNING (71,940), BRETT FAVRE (71,838), DREW BREES (64,490) and DAN MARINO (61,361). 
  • New Orleans quarterback DREW BREES passed for 310 yards with four touchdowns (139.6 passer rating) and rushed for a touchdown in the Saints’ 49-21 win over Los Angeles. Brees, who extended his NFL-record streak to 60 consecutive home games with a touchdown pass, has three career games with at least four touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown, the most in NFL history. Brees (30) is also the second quarterback in NFL history to reach 30 career games with at least four touchdown passes(PEYTON MANNING, 35).
