The Packers looked the part in a dismantling of the banged-up Niners, Detroit’s defense is rounding into form and the Chiefs barely won (again). Plus, the Giants are down bad.

With a thrilling eagle-birdie finish, Jeeno Thitikul won a record-setting $4 million first-place check on Sunday by capturing the CME Group Tour Championship, an event that featured the largest money prize in women’s golf history.

The Packers host the 49ers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. We break down what the game means for the NFL playoff picture.
The San Francisco 49ers travel to face the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 12 with a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff time. The matchup of long-time rivals will be FOX’s game of the week, with coverage across the entire country except the Seattle and Arizona markets.
The Packers are a 5.5-point favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook, with the line moving due to some critical Niners injuries. Green Bay was a 2.

The Week 12 games are impacting the standings around the NFL playoff picture.
With a the Buffalo Bills on a bye, a big Thursday Night Football game, a Sunday night contest featuring two NFC playoff hopefuls, and a Monday night game featuring two AFC playoff teams, Sunday afternoon felt a little light as far as the NFL Playoff Picture was concerned, but some entertaining games held our attention.
At the top of the NFC, the Detroit Lions continued ther winning ways, becoming the first 10-win team in the NFL in 2024.

There are two things Myles Turner takes very seriously: basketball and Star Wars.
For the team’s annual theme night, the Indiana Pacers big man rolled up to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday decked out in a full Kylo Ren costume, flanked by two Sith Troopers.
This is just par for the course for Turner, who goes above and beyond for every Pacers’ Star Wars night. And when he doesn’t bring along his unidentified sidekicks, he recruits his girlfriend Aysia Janelle to join in on the fun. 
If it wasn’t obvious, Turner is a huge fan of the film and TV franchise.

There are aspects of Baker Mayfield’s game that are certainly open to criticism. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal-caller isn’t always the most accurate passer. 
He’s a gunslinger and sometimes makes big mistakes with the football. 
But there is one thing that no one can criticize about Mayfield: his hustle. The guy is a football player, through-and-through, and clearly loves the game. 
Because of that, his teammates love him. And they’re going to really love the effort he put forth in Sunday’s blowout win over the New York Giants.

Lions running back David Montgomery is sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Fourth quarter update: Montgomery returned to the sideline and was spotted wearing his helmet early in the fourth quarter. The Lions are leading 21-6 and just got the ball back. If Montgomery is able to go back on field, it makes sense to sit him the rest of the way if this game doesn’t get too close.

The Detroit Lions are beating the Indianapolis Colts with relative ease in Week 12, but they are facing an injury concern.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has matured a lot in recent years, but he still knows how to troll his opponents.
Mayfield and the Bucs went to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants. Yes, these are the same Giants that cut ties with an overpaid Daniel Jones just days ago and are now rolling with cult legend Tommy DeVito at starting quarterback.
While life with Jones wasn’t pretty, I’m guessing Giants fans aren’t too thrilled with how the Giants have done today. If you could sum up the Giants afternoon in one play, this would be it.

Alabama and Ole Miss tumbled out of the top 10 of the Associated Press Top 25 poll, while Miami and SMU moved in following a chaotic weekend across college football.

San Francisco needs a win to stay connected in the NFC West and wild-card races. Plus, the Cardinals are trailing at the Seahawks in a key NFC West clash.
