The Seahawks struggled during the first half against the 49ers on Thanksgiving, but they found life early in the third quarter after coming up with a big pick-six off Brock Purdy.
Cris Collinsworth practically spoke the play into existence, as the NBC broadcaster had been saying just before the snap how Seattle’s defense needed to make a big play.
Just as the words left Collinsworth’s mouth, Purdy’s pass ended up in the hands of Jordyn Brooks, who scampered into the end zone for six points.

Someone needs to stop Iowa football.
The Hawkeyes are, once again, setting records for all the wrong reasons. In what’s become a recurring trend in the 2023 college football season, the Iowa game, this time against Nebraska, has set a record for the lowest over/under total in history.
Somehow, someway, the current gambling point total for Iowa/Nebraska is 25.5 points. 25 points, in a college football game, in the year of our Lord 2023. That now means this year’s Hawkeyes team has been responsible for the four lowest point totals in history. All in just the past five weeks.

It was supposed to be a happy Thanksgiving for the Lions.
Detroit entered Thursday at 8–2 on the season and was a heavy favorite to take down the Packers in front of the home crowd at Ford Field.
Despite playing at home on the holiday every year, the Lions had not won a Thanksgiving game since 2016, but this time, it truly felt like it could be different.
But the bookmakers and analysts counted out one fact that more astrology-oriented fans put together before kickoff—the moon was in a waxing gibbous phase, and that spelled obvious, inescapable disaster for the Lions.
Jerry Jones has been the owner of the Cowboys since 1989, winning three Super Bowl titles since then.
Yet, the 81-year-old ranked Thursday’s annual Cowboys game on Thanksgiving vs. the Commanders as one of the top moments in his career with the team thus far. It should be noted that the Cowboys dominated and won 45–10 as the Commanders never really stood a chance to beat Dallas at home.
“I don’t know that I’ve had a day like this,” Jones said after the game, via The Athletic’s Jon Machota.
The Michigan sign stealing scandal has rocked the college football world in the second half of the season, with head coach Jim Harbaugh accepting a three game suspension.
It’s up for debate how much responsibility Harbaugh bears for the elaborate scheme and Connor Stalions’ actions. But the NFL seems to have determined that it won’t amount to much if Harbaugh wants to return to coaching at the highest level.
According to Jay Glazer, his team sources are unanimous in believing that no matter what the investigation shows, he’d be welcomed back with open arms.
Mississippi State interim head coach Greg Knox led the Bulldogs onto the field while driving a four-wheeler ahead of their Egg Bowl clash against Ole Miss. Knox could be seen riding the ATV in front of his players as they made their entrance to the game on Thanksgiving Day at Davis Wade Stadium.
When asked why he led his team onto the field on a four-wheeler, Knox told ESPN’s Cole Cubelic that it was about “handling adversity.”
“This is about handling adversity. Opposition. When you face things that are tough in life, this is a life lesson.

The ongoing, yearslong feud between Chris Paul and Scott Foster took a very public turn on Wednesday when Foster ejected Paul in the first half of the Suns’ win over the Warriors. A few thoughts on one of the most bizarre player-referee rivalries in sports history …
No one really knows where this animosity began. What we do know is that Paul’s teams tend to lose in Foster officiated games. A lot. Tom Haberstroh, a veteran NBA reporter, tweeted that Paul’s teams were favored in 15 of 20 playoff games with Foster officiating.
