Jones replaced the injured Jamaal Williams late in the first half and ran for 34 yards on 12 carries. It was big for him and big for us.”The Saints' defense did the rest, holding Panthers rookie Bryce Young to 153 yards passing in his home debut. New Orleans limited Carolina (0-2) to 239 yards and sacked Young, the top overall pick in the draft, four times. In the third quarter, the Panthers brought in Young's backup, Andy Dalton, presumably to run a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-inches.

Whether it be draft position or playoff seedings, each game means something to each team as Week 14 of the NFL season kicks off in earnest on Sunday. And, as a result, the Jets’ season has metamorphosed from shoots of optimism to playoff hopes. Sunday will see Tom Brady face off against seventh-round rookie Brock Purdy as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel west to face the San Francisco 49ers. Despite playing his first meaningful action and with his team’s season possibly on the line, Purdy never looked fazed, leading the 49ers to an important victory.

CNN —When his team trails in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady is almost inevitable. Down 13 points against the New Orleans Saints in the closing minutes, Brady steered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to an improbable 17-16 win on Monday Night Football. The win was extraordinary even by Brady’s standards, marking the largest regular-season fourth-quarter comeback in his career, according to ESPN. That brought Tampa Bay within six points before Brady orchestrated an 11-play, game-winning drive and found Rachaad White for the touchdown with three seconds remaining. New Orleans have a bye this weekend and next face the Atlanta Falcons on December 18, while Tampa Bay play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

CNN —Tom Brady has become well-accustomed at making history over his long and illustrious NFL career. Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-16 at the Allianz Arena in Germany, the NFL’s first regular season game in the country. With the victory, Brady became the first quarterback to win an NFL game in three different countries outside of the US. And now, he can add Germany to the list as the NFL’s most decorated player adds another accolade to his ever-expanding collection. “It felt like a pretty hyped up game when we came out for warm-ups.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) will face the Seattle Seahawks (6-3) in front of nearly 75,000 spectators at Allianz Arena in Munich. With a start on Sunday, Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will become the first quarterback to start a game in three different countries (outside of the US).

CNN —The Carolina Panthers’ dominance in their running game proved enough to hold off a late Atlanta Falcons comeback attempt on a rainy Thursday Night Football. Carolina quarterback PJ Walker finished with 108 passing yards and – after being benched last week with two interceptions – a flawless evening on that front. Lance King/Getty ImagesBut this time around, in rainy conditions in North Carolina, Pineiro successfully made four field goals as the Panthers claimed an important victory. Foreman, a free agent signing in the offseason, has thrived in the starting role since Christian McCaffrey was traded in October. I know how much these guys want to win this game,” he said.

CNN —Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson may be 20 years apart in age, but both quarterbacks have a special bond. But this Thursday, the two will be on opposing teams as Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens travel to face Brady and the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jackson and Brady talk after the Ravens defeated the New England Patriots at M&T Bank Stadium on November 3, 2019 in Baltimore. I’m always playing against the defense not the quarterback, so I’m going into every game the same way, same mentality. You have to go earn everything and I think that’s the competitive nature of it.
