Keaton Mitchell suffered a torn ACL on Sunday night. Mitchell was the change-of-pace back to Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill was primarily in for two-minute drills and pass-blocking situations. Hill should fill Mitchell’s role for the rest of the season.
For the second consecutive Thursday, there are two backup quarterbacks squaring up for a divisional showdown.
Multiple quarterbacks across the league suffered injuries or struggled to play through an injury, like Trevor Lawrence. Browning plays the Vikings this week, who shut out the Raiders last week. The Bengals have more talent and should be able to move the ball against this defense.
The Patriots currently own the second overall pick in next year’s draft, and the Steelers just suffered a loss to their offense. Both teams are battling adversity, but their defenses have remained steady. It will feature a matchup between two great defensive coaches, however.
Moore was the biggest beneficiary, with Flacco as the starter. He also benefitted from Amari Cooper leaving with a concussion and could be the number one target this week if Cooper cannot play. Moore caught four of his 12 targets for 83 yards.
The Dallas Cowboys are undefeated at home this season as they welcome the Seattle Seahawks to town on Thursday night. It should be an exciting game between two teams in second place in their division.
Pickett did not throw for a touchdown, but he did not throw an interception and finished with 278 passing yards. He now faces the Cardinals, who allow 26.8 points and 377.9 total yards per game.
The third and final game on Thanksgiving is in Seattle as the 49ers travel north to take on the Seahawks. The Seahawks are one game back from the 49ers for the NFC West division, so they should be highly motivated this Thursday. They have some injuries to overcome, but they will have the “12th man” behind them.
Baker Mayfield struggled a little bit last week against the 49ers, but he was not awful. He plays the Colts this week, which should be an easier matchup.
