Chicago Bears Austin Booker fined $11,636 for illegal hits on Packers Jordan Love, whos out with concussion. Loves absence led to Malik Williss debut, but Bears secured a win, now leading the NFC North. Booker, a rookie, has career-high stats this season.

In a surprising move, the Green Bay Packers elevate practice squad quarterback Clayton Tune to the game-day roster for his debut, as starting quarterback Jordan Love is ruled out with a concussion. Tune, who has thrown just twenty-three passes in his NFL career, will back up Malik Willis in Saturdays game. Meanwhile, the team also brings up tight end Drake Dabney from the practice squad to help at the position, as injuries sideline several key players. With an open spot on their fifty-three-man roster, more changes could be on the horizon.

The San Francisco Forty Niners have activated linebacker Eric Kendricks and tight end Brayden Willis from their practice squad, bolstering their roster ahead of this weekends game. Kendricks, who stepped up in limited action against the Colts, provides solid depth at linebacker, while Willis joins the mix at tight end due to George Kittles questionable status with an ankle issue. The Niners are playing it smart, stacking their depth chart for a crucial stretch run.

Packers and Ravens face off with backup quarterbacks, as Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson are out. Malik Willis leads the Packers, while Tyler Huntley starts for Baltimore. Both backups have shown promise, setting up an exciting game of backups under the lights.

This Sunday, the New Orleans Saints face the Tennessee Titans in a rookie showdown. Quarterbacks Cam Ward and Tyler Shough, drafted in the same class, square off for the first time. Fans are excited as these two met in college last year, resulting in a wild shootout. The game saw touchdowns flying back and forth, with Ward throwing for 319 yards and 4 TDs, and Shough answering with 342 yards and 4 TDs. This weekends NFL matchup promises even more thrills as these young stars chase glory.

The Denver Broncos secured a hard-fought 20-13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day, maintaining their division lead and playoff aspirations. Despite a short recovery period, both teams appeared rusty, particularly the Chiefs injury-plagued offense and defense. Defensive MVP D.J. Jones stood out with an impressive 83.7 grade against a top-tier center. On offense, right tackle Mike McGlinchey earned MVP honors at 81.2, excelling in run blocking and pass protection. Quarterback Bo Nix had a solid game with a 63.7 grade, though he showed some early-season nerves. The Broncos run defense and line play were bolstered by guards like Quinn Meinerz and defensive linemen Malcolm Roach and Eyioma Uwazurike. However, not all players performed well. Fullback Adam Prentice struggled with a 35.4 grade due to whiffed blocks, cornerback Patrick Surtain had a tough night at 43.7, and tight end Evan Engram continued his blocking issues at 44.8. Edge rushers like Jonathon Cooper also underperformed. This win provides the Broncos with momentum heading into their mini-bye and the regular-season finale, setting them up for a strong playoff run if they address their inconsistencies.
