Thursday, December 12th, 2019
Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams have the momentum Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys crave going into a rematch of a divisional playoff game from last season. Despite their second three-game losing streak of the season, the Cowboys have something the Rams want even more but will need help getting even if the defending NFC champions keep winning: control of their playoff chances.

Rising Rams, slipping Cowboys square off
Thursday, December 12th, 2019Playoff foes just one year ago, the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys are in scramble mode just to reach the postseason again. Their Sunday meeting at Arlington, Texas, will take on a playoff feel as the Cowboys attempt to emerge from a three-game losing streak while the Rams try to make a push toward a wild-card spot that seemed unlikely just two weeks ago.

Vikings can’t afford misstep vs. Chargers
Thursday, December 12th, 2019But Minnesota is just one game ahead of the Los Angeles Rams and two in front of the charging Chicago Bears.

Mitchell Trubisky rides Bears’ win streak into Pack rematch
Wednesday, December 11th, 2019
Confidence has placed Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago Bears offense in a far better situation than at midseason. Trubisky is riding high during a three-game winning streak and no longer feels he's operating an offense mired at the bottom of the NFL rankings — even if that's where the Bears are. "I just feel like we have a newfound identity of what we want to do, and everybody is really locked into what they have to do within their job description on the offense," Trubisky said Wednesday at Halas Hall.
