During his nearly two decades as an NFL owner, Bob McNair left a lasting mark on his city and our league. His leadership and determination brought the NFL back to Houston, built a magnificent stadium that hosted two Super Bowls, and his beloved Texans are in the midst of another successful season and are again contending for a place in the postseason. Off the field, Bob served with distinction as the chairman of the Finance Committee and was recognized in his native South Carolina, his adopted home of Houston, and elsewhere for his extraordinary philanthropic and community development work. He cared deeply about the league and was generous with his time and willingness to share his insights as an exceptional businessman. But above all, Bob was a family man. I extend my heartfelt condolences to Janice, their family, the Texans, and the entire Houston community.

| Notas de la NFL del Día de Acción de Gracias |
Para generaciones de estadounidenses, la tradición del Día de Acción de Gracias y el fútbol americano de la NFL están históricamente ligados.
En Acción de Gracias de 1925, una multitud de 36,000 personas –entonces las más numerosa en la historia del fútbol americano profesional– observaron a los Chicago Bears jugar contra los Chicago Cardinals en lo que fue un empate en cero en un encuentro celebrado en Wrigley Field. En 1934, los Detroit Lions y los campeones mundiales defensores Bears se vieron las caras en Acción de Gracias en lo que fue el primer partido de la NFL transmitido a todo el país a través de NBC radio. Este año, los tres juegos del feriado se celebrarán en estadios con una capacidad combinada superior a 215,000 y serán transmitidos a lo ancho del país y alrededor del mundo.
La jornada del fútbol americano de Día de Acción de Gracias 2018 tendrá un triplete por 13ª temporada consecutiva. Por apenas la segunda vez desde 1970 (2014), el feriado tendrá exclusivamente enfrentamientos divisionales.
El primer partido será una batalla entre rivales de la NFC Norte, ya que los Chicago Bears viajan hasta Detroit para enfrentar a los Lions (12:30 PM, hora de New York, CBS). El juego de la tarde marca el 41º duelo consecutivo en Día de Acción de Gracias celebrado en Dallas, cuando los Cowboys les den la bienvenida a los Washington Redskins en el estadio AT&T (4:30 PM, hora de New York, FOX). El feriado concluye en el Superdomo Mercedes-Benz, donde los Atlanta Falcons se las verán con los New Orleans Saints en el 99º encuentro de temporada regular entre estos rivales de la NFC Sur (8:20 PM, hora de New York, NBC).

| 2018 Thanksgiving Day Preview and Capsules |
For generations of Americans, the tradition of Thanksgiving Day and NFL football are historically intertwined.
On Thanksgiving in 1925, a crowd of 36,000 – then the largest in professional football history – watched the Chicago Bears play the Chicago Cardinals to a scoreless tie at Wrigley Field. In 1934, the Detroit Lions and the defending world champion Bears squared off on Thanksgiving in the first NFL game nationally broadcast, with NBC radio on the call. This year, the three holiday games will be played inside stadiums with a combined capacity of over 215,000 and will be aired to millions across the country and around the world.
The 2018 installment of Thanksgiving Day football will feature a tripleheader for the 13th consecutive season. For only the second time since 1970 (2014), the holiday will feature exclusively divisional matchups.
The first game showcases a battle of NFC North rivals as the Chicago Bears travel to Detroit to face the Lions (12:30 PM ET, CBS). The late afternoon game marks the 41st consecutive Thanksgiving Day contest hosted in Dallas as the Cowboys welcome the Washington Redskins to AT&T Stadium (4:30 PM ET, FOX). The holiday concludes at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as the Atlanta Falcons take on the New Orleans Saints in the 99th regular-season meeting between the NFC South rivals (8:20 PM ET, NBC).

CHICAGO (7-3) at DETROIT (4-6): Thursday’s matchup marks the 17th Thanksgiving Day meeting between the Bears and the Lions, dating back to November 29, 1934. Pro Football Hall of Famer BRONKO NAGURKSI threw a two-yard touchdown pass to BILL HEWITT for Chicago to secure a 19-16 victory over Detroit in the first holiday meeting between the two teams. In their last Thanksgiving Day matchup, Lions quarterback MATTHEW STAFFORD completed 34 of 45 attempts (75.6 percent) for 390 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 116.0 passer rating in the Lions’ 34-17 victory on November 27, 2014.
Chicago sits atop the NFC North with a 7-3 record and has won four consecutive games. Bears quarterback MITCHELL TRUBISKY leads all NFL quarterbacks with 363 rushing yards this season and is averaging 7.1 yards per carry, the highest average in the league (minimum 50 attempts). Chicago’s defense, led by linebacker KHALIL MACK’s eight sacks and five forced fumbles, leads the NFL with 18 interceptions, ranks first in the NFC with 16 forced fumbles and ties for fourth in the league with 32 sacks.
Detroit enters Week 12 following a 20-19 victory over Carolina last week. Lions wide receiver KENNY GOLLADAY had eight catches for 113 yards, including the go-ahead 19-yard touchdown catch with 5:13 remaining in the fourth quarter, and rookie running back KERRYON JOHNSON added a rushing score in the win. Linebacker JARRAD DAVIS, who leads the team with 63 tackles, is one of four NFL players with at least 60 tackles (63) and four sacks (four) in 2018.
The Lions have won four of its past five Thanksgiving Day games. In eight career games on Thanksgiving, Stafford has 2,469 passing yards (308.6 per game), the most on the holiday in league annals, and 17 touchdown passes, the second-most by a quarterback on Thanksgiving Day behind only TONY ROMO (18 touchdown passes).

WASHINGTON (6-4) at DALLAS (5-5): The Redskins and Cowboys meet for the 118th time in series history (including the postseason), with Dallas holding a 70-45-2 advantage. Thursday marks the ninth Thanksgiving Day meeting between the two teams, with the Cowboys leading the holiday series 7-1.
The first meeting between the two teams on Thanksgiving was played at the Cotton Bowl on November 28, 1968. Cowboys running backs DON PERKINS and CRAIG BAYNHAM each rushed for a score and rookie defensive lineman LARRY COLE had a five-yard interception-return touchdown in Dallas’ 29-20 victory.
Last week, Washington running back ADRIAN PETERSON rushed for two touchdowns and safety HA HA CLINTON-DIX tied a career high with 13 tackles and recorded a forced fumble in the Redskins’ loss to Houston. Peterson has 105 career rushing touchdowns and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer JOHN RIGGINS (104) for the sixth-most rushing touchdowns in NFL history. The five players with more career rushing touchdowns are all enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: EMMITT SMITH (164), LA DAINIAN TOMLINSON (145), MARCUS ALLEN (123), WALTER PAYTON (110) and JIM BROWN(106).
Washington will make its 11th appearance on Thanksgiving Day and will play on the holiday for the third-consecutive season. Last year, wide receiver JAMISON CROWDER had 141 receiving yards with a touchdown and linebacker RYAN KERRIGAN recorded two sacks in the Redskins’ 20-10 victory over the New York Giants.
In Week 11, Dallas running back EZEKIEL ELLIOTT totaled 201 scrimmage yards (122 rushing, 79 receiving) and a rushing touchdown and kicker BRETT MAHER converted the game-winning 42-yard field goal as time expired in the Cowboys’ 22-19 victory over Atlanta. Elliott, who has 4,540 scrimmage yards and 32 touchdowns in 35 career games, joined Pro Football Hall of Famer ERIC DICKERSON (4,731 scrimmage yards, 38 touchdowns) and EDGERRIN JAMES (4,842 scrimmage yards, 38 touchdowns) as the only players in NFL history with at least 4,500 scrimmage yards and 30 touchdowns in their first 35 career games in NFL history.
In the last Thanksgiving Day meeting between the teams, Elliott rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns, quarterback DAK PRESCOTT both passed and rushed for a touchdown and linebacker SEAN LEE recorded 14 tackles and one tackle for loss in Dallas’ 31-26 victory in 2016.
ATLANTA (4-6) at NEW ORLEANS (9-1): The Falcons and Saints close out an all-day spread of Thanksgiving football with a meeting of two NFC South rivals. Thursday marks the 100th overall meeting between the two teams (including the postseason), with Atlanta leading the series 52-47. The Falcons will make their third appearance on Thanksgiving and first since 2007, while the Saints will be playing in their second game on the holiday with their only previous appearance coming in 2010.
In Week 3, New Orleans quarterback DREW BREES completed 39 of 49 passes (79.6 percent) for 396 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions and rushed for two scores, including a game-tying seven-yard touchdown with 1:15 remaining in the fourth quarter and the game-winning one-yard touchdown in overtime, in the Saints’ 43-37 overtime victory at Atlanta. Falcons quarterback MATT RYAN threw five touchdown passes, including three to rookie wide receiver CALVIN RIDLEY, in the loss.
Atlanta looks to rebound following a Week 11 loss to Dallas. Falcons wide receiver JULIO JONES had six catches for 118 yards and a touchdown last week. Jones leads the NFL with 1,158 receiving yards this season and has 46 career games with 100+ receiving yards, the most by a player in his first eight seasons in NFL history. Ryan is averaging 330.6 passing yards per game this season, the highest mark in the NFL, and is the only player in the league averaging 300+ passing yards and completing at least 70 percent of his passes (71.1 percent).
Last week, Brees threw for 363 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 153.2 passer rating in the Saints’ 48-7 victory over Philadelphia. Brees has 23 career games with at least four touchdown passes and zero interceptions, including two this season, surpassing New England's TOM BRADY (22) for the most such games by a quarterback in NFL history. New Orleans, which has won nine consecutive games and sits atop the NFC South with a 9-1 record, has scored at least 40 points in six games this season, the most by a team in its first 10 games of a season in NFL history.

A look at seven statistical highlights from games played at 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 18, the 11th week of the 2018 season.
- Baltimore rookie quarterback LAMAR JACKSON, who was selected with the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, made his first-career start on Sunday and is the fifth rookie quarterback selected in the first round of the 2018 Draft to start a game this season, joining Arizona’s JOSH ROSEN, Buffalo’s JOSH ALLEN, Cleveland’s BAKER MAYFIELD and the New York Jets’ SAM DARNOLD.
This is the first season in NFL history in which five rookie quarterbacks selected in the first round of the same NFL Draft have started at least one game.
- New Orleans quarterback DREW BREES completed 22 of 30 passes (73.3 percent) for 363 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 153.2 passer rating in the Saints’ 48-7 victory over Philadelphia.

- The HOUSTON TEXANS, led by rookie safety JUSTIN REID’s 101-yard interception-return touchdown in the second quarter, defeated Washington, 23-21, at FedExField.
The Texans are the first team since 1970 to win seven consecutive games immediately following an 0-3 start to a season.
Reid’s 101-yard interception-return touchdown is tied for the second-longest interception-return touchdown by a rookie in NFL history, trailing only PETE BARNUM’s 103-yard return for the Columbus Tigers in the team’s victory over the Canton Bulldogs on September 26, 1926.
Reid is the third player in franchise history with a 100+ yard touchdown, joining ANDRE DAVIS (104-yard kickoff-return touchdown vs. Jacksonville on December 30, 2007) and MARCUS COLEMAN (102-yard interception-return touchdown at Kansas City on September 26, 2004).

Barkley has 1,268 scrimmage yards (728 rushing, 540 receiving) and 10 touchdowns (seven rushing, three receiving) in his first 10 career games. Barkley is the sixth player in NFL history to record at least 1,200 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns in their first 10 games, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers ERIC DICKERSON and MARSHALL FAULK and EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, ADRIAN PETERSON and BILLY SIMS.

Luck has thrown at least three touchdown passes in seven consecutive games, the third-longest streak in a single season in NFL history. Only TOM BRADY (10 consecutive games in 2007) and PEYTON MANNING (eight consecutive games in 2004) have longer such streaks in a single season. Both Brady and Manning were named Associated Press Most Valuable Players in those seasons.
Luck has 161 touchdown passes in 80 career games and joined Pro Football Hall of Famer DAN MARINO (182 touchdown passes) and AARON RODGERS (160) as the only players in league history with at least 160 touchdown passes in their first 80 career games.
- Baltimore rookie quarterback LAMAR JACKSON recorded 267 total yards (150 passing, 117 rushing) in his first-career start and rookie running back GUS EDWARDS rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens’ 24-21 victory over Cincinnati.
Jackson and Edwards, who each recorded their first-career games with 100+ rushing yards, are the first pair of rookie quarterback and rookie running back teammates to rush for at least 100 yards each in a single game in NFL history.
On the team’s opening drive, Baltimore rushed 11 times without attempting a pass, punctuated by a seven-yard touchdown run by running back ALEX COLLINS. The Ravens became the third team since 1999 to score a touchdown on an opening drive that featured at least 10 rushing plays without a pass attempt, joining the ST. LOUIS RAMS (December 27, 2004 vs. Philadelphia) and the OAKLAND RAIDERS (November 9, 2003 vs. New York Jets).
- Other notable performances from Sunday include:
- Washington running back ADRIAN PETERSON rushed for two touchdowns in the Redskins’ loss to Houston.
Peterson has 105 career rushing touchdowns and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer JOHN RIGGINS (104) for the sixth-most rushing touchdowns in NFL history.

- Los Angeles Chargers quarterback PHILIP RIVERS passed for 401 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for a 91.3 passer rating in the Chargers’ loss against Denver.
Rivers has thrown at least two touchdown passes in each of the Chargers' first 10 games of the season and is the sixth quarterback in league history with two or more touchdown passes in each of his team’s first 10 games to start a season, joining AARON RODGERS (13 consecutive games in 2011), PEYTON MANNING (13 in 2004), Pro Football Hall of Famer JOHNNY UNITAS (12 in 1959), TOM BRADY (10 in 2007) and Pro Football Hall of Famer DAN MARINO (10 in 1984).

EL PANORAMA DE LA POSTEMPORADA SE ENCIENDE CUANDO LA NFL LLEGA A LA UNDÉCIMA SEMANA
La NFL ingresó en la segunda mitad de la temporada y la emoción va creciendo al tiempo que la carrera por alcanzar la postemporada se tensa.
Diecisiete equipos están actualmente clasificando o bien a un partido de alcanzar la postemporada, incluyendo nueve equipos que en 2017 no pasaron el corte. Desde que el formato de postemporada de 12 equipos comenzó en 1990, al menos cuatro equipos han clasificado a la postemporada sin haberlo logrado el año anterior. Pero un arranque lento no significa que un equipo deba ser descartado. Desde 1990, 27 equipos han clasificado a la postemporada con marca perdedora a lo largo de nueve partidos.
Cinco equipos están actualmente disfrutando de rachas ganadoras de al menos cuatro partidos, liderados por los New Orleans Saints, que ganaron ocho juegos consecutivos. Los Houston Texans y los Los Angeles Chargers han ganado seis partidos consecutivos, mientras que Pittsburgh y Kansas City ganaron cinco y cuatro juegos en línea, respectivamente. Los Texans, que arrancaron la temporada 0-3, son el segundo equipo desde 1970 en ganar seis partidos seguidos inmediatamente después de un inicio 0-3, uniéndose a los New York Giants de 1970.
La semana pasada, 19 de los 28 mariscales de campo titulares de la liga (el 67.9 por ciento) registraron un índice de pasador de 100 o más alto (mínimo de 15 intentos), la mayor cantidad en una sola semana en la historia de la NFL, superando el pico anterior, de 17, establecido en la segunda semana de la temporada 2018. Cuatro mariscales de campo –el de Pittsburgh BEN ROETHLISBERGER (158.3), el de Cleveland BAKER MAYFIELD (151.2), el de New Orleans DREW BREES (150.4) y el de Chicago MITCHELL TRUBISKY (148.6)- registraron un índice de pasador de al menos 145 (mínimo de 20 intentos) en la décima semana. Los cuatro mariscales de campo con índice de pasador de 145 o más (mínimo de 20 intentos) la semana pasada fueron la mayor cantidad en una sola semana en la historia de la NFL, superando el pico anterior, de tres, que sucedió cuatro veces diferentes, siendo la más reciente en la tercera semana de la temporada 2017.
Uno de los más anticipados duelos de la temporada tendrá lugar el lunes en la noche por ESPN, en el clásico Monday Night Football (8:15 PM, hora de New York), cuando los Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) se verán las caras con los Los Angeles Rams (9-1) en el Coliseo Los Angeles Memorial en una batalla de dos de los mejores equipos de la liga. Este es el quinto encuentro entre equipos con una o menos derrotas en la undécima semana, o más tarde, desde 1970, y el primero desde el 17 de noviembre de 2013 (Denver, 8-1; contra Kansas City, 9-0).
El mariscal de campo de los Chiefs PATRICK MAHOMES (3,150 yardas aéreas, índice de pasador de 117.4) y el mariscal de campo de los Rams JARED GOFF (3,134 yardas aéreas, índice de pasador de 113.0) se ubican primero y segundo, respectivamente, en la NFL en yardas aéreas y son dos de apenas ocho mariscales de campo en la historia de la liga con al menos 3,000 yardas aéreas y un índice de pasador de 110 o más en los primeros 10 partidos de su equipo en una temporada. Cada uno de los anteriores seis mariscales de campo en lograr tal hazaña se lazaron con el premio de Jugador más valioso (MVP, por sus siglas en inglés) de Associated Press en sus respectivas temporadas.
Los que siguen son los destacados del calendario de la undécima semana:
La undécima semana arranca el jueves por la noche, cuando los Green Bay Packers viajan a Seattle para batallar contra los Seahawks en el estadio CenturyLink Field (8:20 PM, hora de New York, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon Prime). El corredor de los Packers AARON JONES acarreó 145 yardas en 15 acarreos (9.7 de promedio), incluyendo dos acarreos anotadores, en la victoria de Green Bay 31-12 sobre Miami en la décima semana. Jones es el segundo corredor en la historia de la franquicia en acarrear al menos 140 yardas y dos anotaciones en 15 o menos acarreos, uniéndose a AHMAN GREEN (24 de octubre de 2004 contra Dallas). El mariscal de campo de los Seahawks RUSSELL WILSON lanzó al menos tres pases anotadores y registró un índice de pasador de 120 o más alto en cuatro de sus últimos cinco partidos.
Los Houston Texans y los Washington Redskins se enfrentan en una batalla entre equipos punteros en el FedExField (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS). El receptor de los Texans DE ANDRE HOPKINS tuvo 10 recepciones para 105 yardas y una anotación en la victoria de Houston de la novena semana en Denver. Desde 2017, Hopkins tiene cuatro partidos con al menos 10 recepciones, 100 yardas recibiendo y alguna recepción anotadora, la mayor cantidad en la NFL en ese lapso. El el ala defensiva de Houston J.J. WATT iguala el tercer puesto en la liga con nueve capturas esta temporada y es uno de los tres jugadores con al menos ocho capturas y 10 tacleadas para pérdida de yardas (11), uniéndose al de los Rams AARON DONALD (12.5 capturas, 16 tacleadas para pérdida de yardas) y el de los Vikings DANIELLE HUNTER (11.5 capturas, 13 tacleadas para pérdida). Washington, liderado por el ala defensiva MATT IOANNIDIS (7.5 capturas) y por el profundo D.J. SWEARINGER (cuatro intercepciones), están empatados en el segundo puesto de la NFC al permitir 19.4 puntos por partido.
Los Indianapolis Colts reciben a los Tennessee Titans en el estadio Lucas Oil en un enfrentamiento clave de la AFC Sur (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS). El mariscal de campo de los Titans MARCUS MARIOTA lanzó 228 yardas, con dos anotaciones, acarreó 21 yardas, y tuvo una recepción de 21 yardas en el triunfo de Tennessee de la décima semana sobre New England. Mariota se convirtió en tercer mariscal de campo en la historia de la liga con al menos 200 yardas aéreas, 20 yardas por tierra y 20 yardas recibiendo en un mismo partido, uniéndose al de Carolina CAM NEWTON (4 de diciembre de 2011) y al de Chicago JIM MC MAHON (21 de octubre de 1984). El mariscal de campo de Indianapolis ANDREW LUCK lanzó tres pases anotadores en la victoria de los Colts 29-26 contra Jacksonville de la semana pasada y es uno de los tres mariscales de campo en la historia de la NFL en registrar al menos seis partidos consecutivos con tres o más pases anotadores en una sola temporada, uniéndose a TOM BRADY (10 juegos seguidos en 2007) y a PEYTON MANNING (ocho en 2004). Tanto Brady como Manning fueron nombrados Jugador más valioso (MVP, por sus siglas en inglés) de Associated Press en sus respectivas temporadas.
En la tarde del domingo, los Philadelphia Eagles viajan al Superdomo Mercedes-Benz para chocar con los New Orleans Saints (4:25 PM, hora de New York, FOX) en un duelo entre dos equipos presentes en la postemporada de la NFC en 2017. El mariscal de campo de Philadelphia CARSON WENTZ es uno de los dos jugadores de la NFL (junto al de Atlanta MATT RYAN) en promediar al menos 300 yardas aéreas por partido (306.9) a la vez completar al menos el 70 por ciento de su pases (71.0) esta temporada. El mariscal de campo de los Saints DREW BREES lidera la liga con un porcentaje de pases completos de 77.3, índice que está a ritmo de superar la marca de la NFL, de 72.0 por ciento y establecida por Brees la temporada pasada, por 5.3 puntos porcentuales.
El enfrentamiento de la noche del domingo es una batalla por el primer puesto de la NFC Norte entre los Minnesota Vikings y los Chicago Bears en el Soldier Field (8:20 PM, hora de New York, NBC). El receptor de Minnesota ADAM THIELEN tiene 78 recepciones esta temporada, empatando con el de New Orleans MICHAEL THOMAS (78) para la mayor cantidad en la NFL. Thielen y Thomas, junto con el de Philadelphia ZACH ERTZ (75), se unen a JULIO JONES (80 recepciones en 2015), y al miembro del Salón de la Fama MARVIN HARRISON (75 en 2002) como los únicos jugadores en la historia de la NFL con al menos 75 recepciones en los primeros nueve juegos de su equipo en una temporada. El mariscal de campo de Chicago MITCHELL TRUBISKY registró un índice de pasador de 148.6 en la victoria de los Bears de la décima semana sobre Detroit y es uno de los dos mariscales de campo de la NFL (CAM NEWTON) esta temporada con un índice de pasador de 100 o más (101.6), al menos 300 yardas por tierra (320) y tres acarreos anotadores (tres).

32 PLAYER NOMINEES FOR
2018 ART ROONEY SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD ANNOUNCED
-- WINNER TO BE REVEALED AT NFL HONORS BEFORE SUPER BOWL LIII --
The 32 player nominees for the fifth annual ART ROONEY SPORTSMANSHIP AWARDhave been finalized, the NFL announced today. Each NFL team nominated one of its players for the award, which recognizes players around the league who exemplify outstanding sportsmanship on the field.
The award was created in 2014 in honor of the late founding owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pro Football Hall of Famer ART ROONEY, SR.
A panel of former players from the NFL Legends Community will select eight finalists (four in the AFC and four in the NFC) from the 32 nominees. The eight finalists will be listed on the Pro Bowl ballot under the NFL Sportsmanship Award category when players vote on Friday, December 14.
The winner of the NFL Sportsmanship Award is determined by a vote of current NFL players. From the eight finalists, each team’s players will submit a consensus vote of their choice for the winner. As in Pro Bowl voting, a team cannot vote for its own player.
The award is presented each year to an NFL player who best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition.

| PARTIDO CHIEFS-RAMS SE MUDARÁ DE CIUDAD DE MÉXICO A LOS ANGELES DADAS LAS CONDICIONES DEL CAMPO |
PARTIDO CHIEFS-RAMS SE MUDARÁ DE CIUDAD DE MÉXICO A LOS ANGELES DADAS LAS CONDICIONES DEL CAMPO
La NFL anunció hoy que el juego del lunes 19 de Noviembre entre Kansas City Chiefs y Los Angeles Rams, originalmente programado para jugarse en el Estadio Azteca en la Ciudad de México, se jugará en Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum en Los Ángeles.
La decisión fue basada tras la determinación después de consultar con la NFLPA y tras una inspección esta tarde entre la NFL, expertos de los equipos, así como expertos locales e independientes, de que el campo del Estadio Azteca no cumple los estándares de la NFL para el juego ni la consistencia necesaria, y los estándares necesarios no podrían ser cumplidos a tiempo para el próximo lunes.
"Hemos trabajado extensamente con nuestros socios en el Estadio Azteca por meses en preparación para este partido", dijo el ejecutivo de la NFL, Mark Waller, Vicepresidente de Internacional. "Hasta hace poco, no teníamos ninguna preocupación mayor, pero la combinación de una temporada de lluvias difícil y una agenda de muchos eventos en el estadio, han ocasionado daño significativo al campo que presenta un riesgo innecesario para la seguridad de los jugadores y lo hace inadecuado para albergar un juego de NFL. Como resultado, hemos determinado que cambiar el juego de sede es la decisión correcta, y una que debemos anunciar ahora para permitir que los equipos y aficionados realicen cambios de planes".
Los detalles dell reembolso sobre los boletos será anunciado en los próximos días.
Todos los equipos de la NFL que ceden un partido de local para jugar internacionalmente requieren tener su estadio disponible por cualquier contingencia, y los Rams estarán anunciando la información sobre los boletos y detalles de logística para el partido de lunes por la noche en el LA Coliseum lo más pronto posible.
PLAYOFF PICTURE HEATS UP AS NFL ENTERS WEEK 11
The NFL has entered the second half of the season and the excitement is building as playoff races tighten.
Seventeen teams are currently in or within one game of playoff position, including nine teams that did not advance to the postseason in 2017. Since the 12-team playoff format began in 1990, at least four teams have qualified for the playoffs in every season that were not in the postseason the year before. But a slow start does not mean a team can be counted out. Since 1990, 27 teams have qualified for the playoffs with a losing record through nine games.
Five teams are currently riding win steaks of at least four games, led by the New Orleans Saints, which have won eight consecutive games. The Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers have both won six straight games, while Pittsburgh and Kansas City have won five and four consecutive games, respectively. The Texans, which began the season 0-3, are the second team since 1970 to win six consecutive games immediately following an 0-3 start, joining the 1970 New York Giants.
Last week, 19 of the league’s 28 starting quarterbacks (67.9 percent) recorded a passer rating of 100 or higher (minimum 15 attempts), the most in a single week in NFL history, surpassing the previous high of 17 set in Week 2 of the 2018 season. Four quarterbacks - Pittsburgh's BEN ROETHLISBERGER(158.3), Cleveland's BAKER MAYFIELD (151.2), New Orleans' DREW BREES (150.4) and Chicago's MITCHELL TRUBISKY (148.6) - recorded a passer rating of at least 145 (minimum 20 attempts) in Week 10. The four quarterbacks with a 145+ passer rating (minimum 20 attempts) last week were the most in a single week in NFL history, surpassing the previous high of three which occurred four different times, most recently in Week 3 of the 2017 season.
One of the season’s most anticipated matchups takes place on ESPN’s Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET), as the Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) take on the Los Angeles Rams (9-1) at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a battle of two of the league’s top contenders. This is the fifth meeting between teams with one or fewer losses in Week 11 or later since 1970 and the first since November 17, 2013 (Denver (8-1) vs. Kansas City (9-0)).
Chiefs quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES (3,150 passing yards, 117.4 passer rating) and Rams quarterback JARED GOFF (3,134 passing yards, 113.0 passer rating) rank first and second, respectively, in the NFL in passing yards and are two of only eight quarterbacks in league history with at least 3,000 passing yards and a 110+ passer rating in their team’s first 10 games of a season. Each of the previous six quarterbacks to accomplish the feat captured Associated Press Most Valuable Player honors in their respective seasons.
Below are highlights of the Week 11 schedule:
Week 11 kicks off on Thursday night as the Green Bay Packers travel to Seattle to battle the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field (8:20 PM ET, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon Prime). Packers running back AARON JONES rushed for 145 yards on 15 carries (9.7 average), including two rushing touchdowns, in Green Bay’s 31-12 victory over Miami in Week 10. Jones is the second running back in franchise history to rush for at least 140 yards and two touchdowns on 15 or fewer carries, joining AHMAN GREEN (October 24, 2004 vs. Dallas). Seahawks quarterback RUSSELL WILSON has thrown at least three touchdown passes and recorded a passer rating of 120 or higher in four of his past five games.
The Houston Texans and Washington Redskins square off in a battle of first-place teams at FedExField (1:00 PM ET, CBS). Texans wide receiver DE ANDRE HOPKINS had 10 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s Week 9 win at Denver. Since 2017, Hopkins has four games with at least 10 catches, 100 receiving yards and a touchdown reception, the most in the NFL over the span. Houston defensive end J.J. WATT ties for third in the league with nine sacks this season and is one of three players with at least eight sacks and 10 tackles for loss (11), joining the Rams’ AARON DONALD (12.5 sacks, 16 tackles for loss) and the Vikings’ DANIELLE HUNTER (11.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss). Washington, led by defensive end MATT IOANNIDIS (7.5 sacks) and safety D.J. SWEARINGER (four interceptions), is tied for second in the NFC allowing 19.4 points per game.
The Indianapolis Colts welcome the Tennessee Titans to Lucas Oil Stadium in a key AFC South contest (1:00 PM ET, CBS). Titans quarterback MARCUS MARIOTA passed for 228 yards with two touchdowns, rushed for 21 yards and had a 21-yard reception in Tennessee’s Week 10 win over New England. Mariota became the third quarterback in league history with at least 200 passing yards, 20 rushing yards and 20 receiving yards in a single game, joining Carolina’s CAM NEWTON (December 4, 2011) and Chicago’s JIM MC MAHON (October 21, 1984). Indianapolis quarterback ANDREW LUCK threw three touchdown passes in the Colts’ 29-26 victory against Jacksonville last week and is one of three quarterbacks in NFL history to record at least six consecutive games with three or more touchdown passes in a single season, joining TOM BRADY (10 consecutive games in 2007) and PEYTON MANNING (eight in 2004). Brady and Manning were each named Associated Press Most Valuable Player in those respective seasons.
On Sunday afternoon, the Philadelphia Eagles travel to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to take on the New Orleans Saints (4:25 PM ET, FOX) in a showdown of 2017 NFC playoff teams. Philadelphia quarterback CARSON WENTZ is one of two players in the NFL (Atlanta’s MATT RYAN) to average at least 300 passing yards per game (306.9) while completing at least 70 percent of his passes (71.0) this season. Saints quarterback DREW BREES leads the league with a 77.3 completion percentage which is on pace to surpass the NFL record of 72.0 percent, which was set by Brees last season, by 5.3 percentage points.
Sunday’s nightcap is a battle for first place in the NFC North between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears at Soldier Field (8:20 PM ET, NBC). Minnesota wide receiver ADAM THIELEN has 78 catches this season, tied with New Orleans’ MICHAEL THOMAS (78) for the most in the NFL. Thielen and Thomas, along with Philadelphia’s ZACH ERTZ (75), join JULIO JONES (80 catches in 2015), and Pro Football Hall of Famer MARVIN HARRISON (75 in 2002) as the only players in NFL history with at least 75 catches in their team’s first nine games of a season. Chicago quarterback MITCHELL TRUBISKY recorded a 148.6 passer rating in the Bears’ Week 10 win over Detroit and is one of two NFL quarterbacks (CAM NEWTON) this season with a 100+ passer rating (101.6), at least 300 rushing yards (320) and three rushing touchdowns (three).

| Chiefs-Rams Game To Move From Mexico City to Los Angeles Due to Field Conditions |
CHIEFS-RAMS GAME TO MOVE FROM MEXICO CITY TO LOS ANGELES DUE TO FIELD CONDITIONS
The NFL announced today that it will move the Monday, November 19, Kansas City Chiefs-Los Angeles Rams game originally scheduled for Estadio Azteca in Mexico City to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.
The decision is based on the determination – in consultation with the NFLPA and following a meeting and field inspection this afternoon by NFL and club field experts as well as local and independent outside experts – that the playing field at Estadio Azteca does not meet NFL standards for playability and consistency and will not meet those standards by next Monday.
"We have worked extensively with our partners at Estadio Azteca for months in preparation for this game," said NFL Executive Vice President of International Mark Waller. "Until very recently, we had no major concerns. But, the combination of a difficult rainy season and a heavy multi-event calendar of events at the stadium, have resulted in significant damage to the field that presents unnecessary risks to player safety and makes it unsuitable to host an NFL game. As a result, we have determined that moving the game is the right decision, and one that we needed to announce now in order to allow our teams and fans to make alternate arrangements."
Details on ticket reimbursement procedures will be announced in the days ahead.
All NFL teams that forgo a home game to play internationally are required to keep their home stadium available as a contingency, and the Rams will be announcing ticket information and other logistical details for Monday night's game at the LA Coliseum as soon as possible.

'Mike Holmgren: A Football Life' Premieres Friday, November 16 at 8:00 PM ET
"I know without a hint of doubt that I would not be here if it were not for him." – Brett Favre

The one-hour show produced by NFL Films features sitdown interviews with Holmgren, as well as the four quarterbacks who played as instrumental a part in his career as he played in theirs: Joe Montana, Steve Young, Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck.
Each episode of A Football Life – as well as all NFL Network programming – can be streamed live through the NFL app and via Watch NFL Network on smartphones, tablets, PCs and connected TV devices (Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, PlayStation 4 and Roku). Access is available for NFL Network subscribers of participating TV providers. For more information, go to NFL.com/watch.
Among the topics discussed in Mike Holmgren: A Football Life are:
- Playing quarterback in high school but not being able to start a game while at USC
- Joining the San Francisco 49ers in 1986 as quarterbacks coach
- The role he played in Joe Montana remaining as the 49ers' starting quarterback during the 1988 Super Bowl-winning season
- The relationship he formed with Steve Young at BYU and with the 49ers
- Becoming the head coach of the Green Bay Packers in 1992 and his relationship with Brett Favre

Emmy-nominated actor Josh Charles narrates.
Mike Holmgren: A Football Life includes interviews with the following people and more:
Mike Holmgren
Kathy Holmgren – Wife
Joe Montana – Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback
Steve Young – Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback
Brett Favre – Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback
Matt Hasselbeck – Former NFL quarterback, 1998-2015
Provided below are some select quotes from Mike Holmgren: A Football Life:
- "The guys I had the good fortune of being around were special. It was the position I played – I know I didn't get to play as long as I would like to play – and it gave me a chance to stay at that position and watch them do those things that I wanted to do at one time and never did. I was very fortunate." – Mike Holmgren
- "For me personally, Mike Holmgren made all of the difference. Who he was as a coach, as a teacher." – Matt Hasselbeck
- "I know without a hint of doubt that I would not be here if it were not for him." – Brett Favre
- "Joe Montana gave me the freedom early on by what he said to me: 'Coach me hard.' And if Joe Montana can tell me that, you have to do that with everybody." – Mike Holmgren
- "There are certain things he demanded you to study. He was a perfectionist at the position. That's what made a difference in him is he wanted it to be perfect and he wanted you to be perfect." – Joe Montana
- "Mike for me was perfect. It was a great relationship, somebody to push me and I think that's probably why it worked so well." – Steve Young
- "I was so naïve…I thought we would be together forever. I felt like I was really good but I also felt like I was really good for a reason, and that was because of coaching." – Brett Favre
- "When you're a coach, you're a teacher. The good coaches are teachers. It didn't matter what I knew or the assistant coach. I would tell [the assistant coaches] it doesn't matter if you're the smartest guy in the room, you have to teach him to do it. I never left teaching. That's what you do as a coach." – Mike Holmgren
This year, the 11-episode season of the highly-acclaimed series A Football Life airs Friday at 8:00 PM ET. The next episode of A Football Life features former NFL wide receiver and current NBC Sports analyst Cris Collinsworth on Friday, November 23.

THURSDAY NIGHT PREVIEW:
GREEN BAY PACKERS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
November 15, 2018
Week 11 kicks off on Thursday, November 15 (8:20 PM ET, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon Prime) with the Green Bay Packers travelling to Seattle to take on the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. Thursday marks the 22nd meeting between the teams (including the playoffs), with Green Bay leading the all-time series, 13-8. In their last game, Packers quarterback AARON RODGERS passed for 311 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay’s 17-9 home win on September 10, 2017.
In Week 10, Packers running back AARON JONES recorded a career-high 172 scrimmage yards (145 rushing, 27 receiving) and two rushing touchdowns in the team’s 31-12 victory against Miami. Rodgers connected with wide receiver DAVANTE ADAMS, who leads the NFC with nine touchdown catches this season, for two scores in the contest and linebacker BLAKE MARTINEZ, whose 221 tackles since 2017 are the most by any player in the NFL, led the team with nine tackles.
Last week, Seattle quarterback RUSSELL WILSON threw three touchdown passes and no interceptions for a 123.2 passer rating and added 92 rushing yards while rookie running back RASHAAD PENNY, the Seahawks’ 2018 first-round pick, rushed for a career-high 108 yards and his first-career touchdown in the Seahawks’ loss at the Los Angeles Rams. The Seahawks are the only team in the NFL to have three different players rush for at least 100 yards in a game this season: Penny, running back CHRIS CARSON and running back MIKE DAVIS. Seattle linebacker BOBBY WAGNER, who led the team with 13 tackles in Week 10, has 365 tackles since 2016, the most in the league over that span.
SEVEN FROM SUNDAY – WEEK 10
A look at seven statistical highlights from games played at 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 11, the 10th week of the 2018 season.
- Four quarterbacks – Pittsburgh’s BEN ROETHLISBERGER (158.3), Cleveland’s BAKER MAYFIELD (151.2), New Orleans’ DREW BREES (150.4) and Chicago’s MITCHELL TRUBISKY (148.6) – have recorded a passer rating of at least 145 (minimum 20 attempts) through Sunday afternoon.
The four quarterbacks with a 145+ passer rating (minimum 20 attempts) in Week 10 are the most in a single week in NFL history, surpassing the previous high of three which occurred four different times, most recently in Week 3 of the 2017 season.
- The NEW ORLEANS SAINTS defeated Cincinnati, 51-14, at Paul Brown Stadium, marking the team’s eighth consecutive win. The Saints have scored at least 40 points in five games this season and joined the 2013 Denver Broncos and 2000 St. Louis Rams as the only teams in NFL history to score 40 or more points in five of its first nine games of a season.
Saints quarterback DREW BREES completed 22 of 25 (88 percent) for 265 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 150.4 passer rating and added a rushing touchdown in the win. Brees, who has 509 career touchdown passes, surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer BRETT FAVRE (508) for the second-most passing touchdowns in league annals. Only PEYTON MANNING (539) has more career touchdown passes.
New Orleans running back ALVIN KAMARA had 102 scrimmage yards (56 rushing, 46 receiving) and two rushing touchdowns in the Saints’ win. Kamara, who played in his 25th career game on Sunday, recorded his ninth game with at least two touchdowns since entering the league in 2017. Only Pro Football Hall of Famers CURTIS MARTIN (10) and STEVE VAN BUREN (10) and EDGERRIN JAMES (10) have more multi-touchdown games in their first 25 career games in league history.
Saints wide receiver MICHAEL THOMAS had eight catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. Thomas has 274 catches in 40 career games and surpassed ODELL BECKHAM, JR. (266) for the most receptions by a player in his first 40 career games in NFL history.
Thomas (78) is tied with Minnesota’s ADAM THIELEN (78) for the league lead in catches this season. Thomas and Thielen joined JULIO JONES (80 catches in 2015) and Pro Football Hall of Famer MARVIN HARRISON (75 in 2002) as the only players in NFL history with at least 75 catches in their team’s first nine games of a season.
- Kansas City quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES completed 21 of 28 passes (75 percent) for 249 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 125.4 passer rating in the Chiefs’ 26-14 victory over Arizona.
Mahomes, who leads the NFL with 31 touchdown passes this season, surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer LEN DAWSON (30 touchdown passes in 1964) for the most touchdown passes in a single season in franchise history.
- Indianapolis quarterback ANDREW LUCK completed 21 of 29 passes (72.4 percent) for 285 yards with three touchdowns and one interception for a 123.5 passer rating in the Colts’ 29-26 victory against Jacksonville.
Luck has thrown at least three touchdown passes in each of his past six games and is one of three quarterbacks in NFL history to record at least six consecutive games with three or more touchdown passes in a single season, joining TOM BRADY (10 consecutive games in 2007) and PEYTON MANNING (eight in 2004). Brady and Manning were each named Associated Press Most Valuable Player in those respective seasons.
Colts tight end ERIC EBRON had three catches for 69 yards and two touchdowns and added a rushing touchdown in the victory. Ebron joined New England’s ROB GRONKOWSKI (two receiving, one rushing on December 4, 2011 vs. Indianapolis) as the only tight ends in NFL history to record at least two touchdown catches and one rushing touchdown in a single game.
- Cleveland rookie quarterback BAKER MAYFIELD threw three touchdown passes and rookie running back NICK CHUBB had 209 scrimmage yards (176 rushing, 33 receiving) with two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving) in the Browns’ 28-16 win over Atlanta.
Mayfield completed 17 of 20 passes (85 percent), including his first 13 pass attempts of the game, for 216 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 151.2 passer rating in the win. Mayfield is the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to record a passer rating of at least 150 on 20 or more pass attempts in a single game.
Chubb scored on a 92-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, the longest rushing touchdown in franchise history and the second-longest touchdown run by a rookie in NFL history. Only the Steelers’ BOBBY GAGE (97 yards in 1949) has a longer touchdown run as a rookie.
- Buffalo running back LE SEAN MC COY rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills’ 41-10 victory at the New York Jets.

Bills quarterback MATT BARKLEY passed for 232 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 117.4 passer rating in his Buffalo debut.
Barkley’s 117.4 passer rating is the second-highest by a Bills quarterback making his team debut behind only Pro Football Hall of Famer JIM KELLY’s 119.8 rating on September 7, 1986 (minimum 20 attempts).
- Other notable performances from Sunday include:
- Arizona wide receiver LARRY FITZGERALD had six catches for 50 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 10 loss at Kansas City.
Fitzgerald has 15,952 career receiving yards and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer TERRELL OWENS (15,934) for the second-most receiving yards in NFL history. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer JERRY RICE (22,895) has more career receiving yards.
- New England quarterback TOM BRADY passed for 254 yards in the Patriots’ loss at Tennessee.

- Los Angeles Rams running back TODD GURLEY had 160 scrimmage yards (120 rushing, 40 receiving) and a rushing touchdown in the Rams’ 36-31 win against Seattle.
Gurley has scored at least one touchdown in each of the Rams’ first 10 games this season and joins Pro Football Hall of Famers O.J. SIMPSON (14 games in 1975), LENNY MOORE (14 in 1964) and ELROY “CRAZY LEGS” HIRSCH (10 in 1951) as the only players in league annals to score a touchdown in each of their team’s first 10 games of a season.
- Atlanta wide receiver JULIO JONES had seven receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons’ loss at Cleveland.
Jones, who has 10,094 career receiving yards, reached 10,000 receiving yards in his 104th career game, surpassing CALVIN JOHNSON (115) for the fewest games in NFL history to reach the milestone.

LA CARRERA POR LLEGAR A LA POSTEMPORADA SE INTENSIFICA
EN LA SEGUNDA MITAD DE LA NFL
La segunda mitad de la temporada de la NFL ya llegó y la carrera por clasificar a la postemporada está a pleno.
Tres equipos –los KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (8-1), los LOS ANGELES RAMS (8-1) y los NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (7-2)– tienen marca de 7-2 o mejor al llegar a la décima semana y los NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (7-1), que tuvieron fecha de descanso en la sexta semana, alcanzarán registro de 8-1 o 7-2 tras la acción de esta semana. En la era del Super Bowl, 216 equipos han comenzado la temporada con marca de 8-1 o 7-2 a lo largo de nueve partidos y 194 de esos equipos clasificaron a la postemporada (el 89.8 por ciento). Sesentaiún de los 216 equipos alcanzaron el Super Bowl en sus respectivas temporadas.
Al tiempo que la temporada se adentra en su segunda mitad, hay montones de fútbol americano por jugarse y nada todavía ha sido decidido. Desde 2000, 45 equipos alcanzaron el punto medio de sus temporadas con un porcentaje de triunfos de .500 o peor y así y todo clasificaron a la postemporada, incluyendo al menos uno en cada campaña. El año pasado, los ATLANTA FALCONS arrancaron la temporada con registro de 4-4 antes de terminar clasificando a la postemporada con marca de 10-6.
Cuatro equipos actualmente están disfrutando de racha ganadoras de al menos cinco partidos: New Orleans (siete juegos consecutivos), Houston (seis), New England (seis) y los Los Angeles Chargers (cinco). Los Texans, que arrancaron la temporada 0-3, son el segundo equipo desde 1970 en ganar seis partidos consecutivos inmediatamente después de un inicio de 0-3, uniéndose a los New York Giants de 1970.
Cuando el calendario llega a la décima semana, la historia está en el horizonte tanto para mariscales de campo veteranos como para jóvenes. El mariscal de campo de New England TOM BRADY jugará el 300º partido de su carrera (incluyendo postemporada) el domingo en Tennessee (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS), sumándose al miembro del Salón de la Fama BRETT FAVRE (326) como los únicos mariscales de campo en aparecer en 300 partidos en su carrera tanto de temporada regular como de postemporada. Brady, que lanzó 576 pases anotadores a lo largo de 299 juegos en su carrera (incluyendo postemporada), puede superar a PEYTON MANNING (579) para la mayor cantidad de pases anotadores por un mariscal de campo en la historia de la NFL.
Brady (505 pases anotadores en temporada regular) y el mariscal de campo de New Orleans DREW BREES (506), que el domingo juega en Cincinnati (1:00 PM, hora de New York, FOX), llega a la décima semana teniendo a Favre (508) a su alcance para el segundo puesto en la historia de la NFL en la tabla de pases anotadores. Solamente Manning (539) tiene más pases anotadores en temporada regular en su carrera.
El mariscal de campo de Kansas City PATRICK MAHOMES tiene 29 pases anotadores y 3,185 yardas aéreas en 10 los partidos de su carrera, ambas cifras las mayores cantidades por un mariscal de campo en sus primeros 10 juegos en la historia de la NFL. Mahomes, que lanzó al menos 300 yardas y tres anotaciones en cada uno de los últimos cuatro partidos de los Chiefs, puede sumarse al miembro del Salón de la Fama STEVE YOUNG (1998) como los únicos jugadores en la historia de la NFL con al menos 300 yardas aéreas y tres pases anotadores en cinco partidos consecutivos.
Debajo, destacados del cronograma de la décima semana:
La décima semana arranca el jueves por la noche, cuando los CAROLINA PANTHERS visiten a los PITTSBURGH STEELERS en el Heinz Field (8:20 PM, hora de New York, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon Prime). Pittsburgh llega al duelo del jueves como ganador de cuatro partidos consecutivos, mientras que Carolina ganó tres juegos consecutivos. El corredor de los Steelers JAMES CONNER acarreó al menos 100 yardas en cada uno de sus últimos cuatro partidos y puede sumarse a los miembros del Salón de la Fama FRANCO HARRIS (seis juegos consecutivos en 1972) y JEROME BETTIS (cinco en 1996) como los únicos jugadores en la historia de la franquicia con 100 o más yardas terrestres en cinco compromisos consecutivos. El mariscal de campo de los Panthers CAM NEWTON lanzó al menos dos pases anotadores en siete partidos consecutivos, empatando con STEVE BEUERLEIN para la racha más larga en la historia de la franquicia, y busca su cuarto juego en línea con dos pases anotadores, sin intercepciones y un índice de pasador de 100 o más.
Los NEW ORLEANS SAINTS, ganadores de siete partidos consecutivos, viajan al estadio Paul Brown para enfrentarse contra los CINCINNATI BENGALS en la tarde del domingo (1:00 PM, hora de New York, FOX). El corredor de los Saints ALVIN KAMARA, que tiene 1,218 yardas por tierra y 1,253 yardas recibiendo en los 24 juegos de su carrera, puede sumarse a HERSCHEL WALKER (1,339 acarreando, 1,394 recibiendo) como los únicos jugadores en la historia de la NFL con al menos 1,300 yardas acarreando y recibiendo en los primeros 25 partidos de su carrera. El safety novato de los Bengals JESSIE BATES lidera a Cincinnati con 60 tacleadas y es uno de dos jugadores en la NFL (KIKO ALONSO) con al menos 60 tacleadas y tres intercepciones (tres) en 2018.
RUSSELL WILSON y los Seahawks visitan a TODD GURLEY y sus Rams en el Coliseo Memorial de Los Angeles (4:25 PM, hora de New York, CBS). Desde la quinta semana, Wilson se ubica segundo en la NFL con índice de pasador de 126.4 y tercero en la liga con 11 pases anotadores. Gurley lidera la NFL con 16 anotaciones (12 acarreando, cuatro recibiendo) y registró alguna anotación en cada uno de los nueve juegos de los Rams en 2018. Con alguna anotación el domingo, Gurley puede convertirse en el cuarto jugador en los anales de la liga en producir al menos una anotación en cada uno de los primeros 10 partidos de su equipo en una temporada.
RACE TO PLAYOFFS INTENSIFIES IN NFL’S SECOND HALF
The second half of the NFL season is here and the race to the playoffs is in full swing.
Three teams – the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (8-1), LOS ANGELES RAMS (8-1) and NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (7-2) – have a record of 7-2 or better entering Week 10 and the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (7-1), which had its bye in Week 6, will reach either 8-1 or 7-2 following this week’s action. In the Super Bowl era, 216 teams have begun the season either 8-1 or 7-2 through nine games and 194 of those teams advanced to the postseason (89.8 percent). Sixty-one of the 216 teams reached the Super Bowl in their respective seasons.
As the season moves into the second half, there is plenty of football left to play and nothing has been decided. Since 2000, 45 teams have reached the halfway point of their season with a .500 or below winning percentage and advanced to the playoffs, including at least one in each season. Last year, the ATLANTA FALCONS began the season at 4-4 before advancing to the postseason with a 10-6 record.
Four teams are currently riding winning streaks of at least five games – New Orleans (seven consecutive games), Houston (six), New England (six) and the Los Angeles Chargers (five). The Texans, which began the season 0-3, are the second team since 1970 to win six consecutive games immediately following an 0-3 start, joining the 1970 New York Giants.
As the schedule turns to Week 10, history is on the horizon for veteran and young quarterbacks alike. New England quarterback TOM BRADY will play in his 300th career game (including the postseason) on Sunday at Tennessee (1:00 PM ET, CBS), joining Pro Football Hall of Famer BRETT FAVRE (326) as the only quarterbacks to appear in 300 career games across the regular season and playoffs. Brady, who has thrown 576 touchdown passes through 299 career games (including the postseason), can surpass PEYTON MANNING (579) for the most touchdown passes by a quarterback in NFL history.
Brady (505 regular-season touchdown passes) and New Orleans quarterback DREW BREES (506), who plays at Cincinnati on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX), enter Week 10 within reach of Favre (508) for second place on the NFL’s all-time passing touchdown leaderboard. Only Manning (539) has more career touchdown passes in the regular season.
Kansas City quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES has 29 touchdown passes and 3,185 passing yards in 10 career games, both the most by a quarterback in his first 10 games in NFL history. Mahomes, who has passed for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in each of the Chiefs’ past four games, can join Pro Football Hall of Famer STEVE YOUNG (1998) as the only players in NFL history with at least 300 passing yards and three touchdown passes in five consecutive games.
Below are highlights of the Week 10 schedule:
Week 10 kicks off on Thursday night as the CAROLINA PANTHERS visit the PITTSBURGH STEELERS at Heinz Field (8:20 PM ET, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon Prime). Pittsburgh enters Thursday’s contest as the winner of four consecutive games, while Carolina has won three straight games. Steelers running back JAMES CONNER has rushed for at least 100 yards in each of his past four games and can join Pro Football Hall of Famers FRANCO HARRIS (six consecutive games in 1972) and JEROME BETTIS (five in 1996) as the only players in franchise history with 100+ rushing yards in five consecutive games. Panthers quarterback CAM NEWTON has thrown at least two touchdown passes in seven consecutive games, tied with STEVE BEUERLEIN for the longest streak in franchise history, and aims for his fourth game in a row with two touchdown passes, no interceptions and a 100+ passer rating.
The NEW ORLEANS SAINTS, winners of seven consecutive games, travel to Paul Brown Stadium to take on the CINCINNATI BENGALS on Sunday afternoon (1:00 PM ET, FOX). Saints running back ALVIN KAMARA, who has 1,218 rushing yards and 1,253 receiving yards in 24 career games, can join HERSCHEL WALKER (1,339 rushing, 1,394 receiving) as the only players in NFL history with at least 1,300 rushing and receiving yards in his first 25 career games. Bengals rookie safety JESSIE BATES leads Cincinnati with 60 tackles and is one of two players in the NFL (KIKO ALONSO) with at least 60 tackles and three interceptions (three) in 2018.
RUSSELL WILSON and the Seahawks visit TODD GURLEY and the Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (4:25 PM ET, CBS). Since Week 5, Wilson ranks second in the NFL with a 126.4 passer rating and third in the league with 11 touchdown passes. Gurley leads the NFL with 16 touchdowns (12 rushing, four receiving) and has scored a touchdown in each of the Rams’ nine games in 2018. With a touchdown on Sunday, Gurley can become the fourth player in league annals to score at least one touchdown in each of his team’s first 10 games of a season.

| Super Bowl-Winning Head Coach Bill Cowher Featured on NFL Network's 'A Football Life' |
'Bill Cowher: A Football Life' Premieres Friday, November 9 at 8:00 PM ET
"I love football, but my football life has been as much about family as it's been about football." – Bill Cowher
The eighth season of NFL Network's Emmy-nominated series A Football Life continues Friday, November 9 at 8:00 PM ET with a profile of former Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers and current CBS Sports analyst Bill Cowher. The one-hour show produced by NFL Films features sitdown interviews with Cowher, former Steelers players such as Jerome Bettis, Rod Woodson and Joey Porter, current Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and others, as well as three sitdown interviews with his daughters Meagan, Lauren and Lindsay filmed over the course of 20 years.
Each episode of A Football Life – as well as all NFL Network programming – can be streamed live through the NFL app and via Watch NFL Network on smartphones, tablets, PCs and connected TV devices (Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, PlayStation 4 and Roku). Access is available for NFL Network subscribers of participating TV providers. For more information, go to NFL.com/watch.
Among the topics discussed in Bill Cowher: A Football Life are:
- The importance he placed on family and the close bond the Cowher family had
- Making an impression upon Marty Schottenheimer while playing for the Cleveland Browns and how that influenced his coaching career
- The relationship he formed with Bill Belichick
- Being named the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1992
- Winning Super Bowl XL and stepping away from coaching after the 2006 NFL season
- The passing of his wife Kaye Cowher
- His current broadcasting career as an analyst for CBS Sports
Emmy-nominated actor Josh Charles narrates.
Bill Cowher: A Football Life includes interviews with the following people and more:
Bill Cowher
Meagan Cowher Westgarth – Daughter
Lauren Cowher – Daughter
Lindsay Cowher Kelly – Daughter
Rod Woodson – Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback
Jerome Bettis – Pro Football Hall of Fame running back
Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Joey Porter – Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker
Bill Belichick – New England Patriots head coach
Tony Dungy – Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach
Provided below are some select quotes from Bill Cowher: A Football Life:
- "I love football, but my football life has been as much about family as it's been about football." – Bill Cowher
- "Some coaches do certain things for the camera – none of that he did for the camera. Everything he did was authentic as it gets." – Joey Porter
- "That chin, that scowl, that spit coming out of his mouth, his accent – all of those things are Pittsburgh through and through." – Ben Roethlisberger
- "Would I ever go back? I doubt it. But I always said, and I will still continue to say, why shut a door that you never have to shut? I don't know how I'll feel two or three years from now. I've seen other people get too much of an itch, they want to come back." – Bill Cowher on his coaching future
- "He was like a psychologist in terms of understanding who he needed to push, who he needed to put his arm around, who he needed to get in their face. He was honest. He told you where you stood. That's all you ever wanted from a coach." – Jerome Bettis
- "There was validation…To bring that back to the city of Pittsburgh that many years later, a place where I grew up, it was pretty surreal." – Bill Cowher on winning Super Bowl XL
- "I think Bill got the best of both worlds. He got his fire and energy, and Marty [Schottenheimer's] preparation. When the two came together, you saw the results. You just could sense that here's a guy that people will follow, and you knew it was just a matter of time before some organization was going to take advantage of that." – Tony Dungy
- "For a nine-year old to say, 'Win or lose, Dad you'll still be my hero,' I'm like wow. It really to me encapsulates what our family is about. The very deepest, worst loss you can experience but all of a sudden there is your family. That was my strength. It was family that gets you through those tough times." – Bill Cowher
This year, the 11-episode season of the highly-acclaimed series A Football Life airs Friday at 8:00 PM ET. Below is a broadcast schedule for upcoming episodes of A Football Life:
