Fight breaks out after 49ers-Panthers ‘Monday Night Football’ game

The San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers played one of the ugliest games of the season on Monday Night Football and the only real fireworks came as the game was over between Jauan Jennings and Tre’von Moehrig. After the final whistle sounded and players began shaking hands at midfield, ESPN’s cameras caught Jennings, the 49ers wide receiver, having to be forcibly held back by his teammates. He was even taken to the ground at one point before he could finally be subdued. When looking at a replay, it was revealed that Jennings approached Panthers defender Moehrig and clocked him with multiple shoves to the face. Much like what we saw earlier in the season between Daron Payne and Amon-Ra St. Brown during a dust up in a Lions-Commanders game, there was definitely a reason why Jauan Jennings was so upset and the punch didn’t come from nowhere. With a tip of the cap to the MNF production crew, ESPN was able to pull up a play from earlier in the game where Moehrig certainly appears to hit Jennings with a low blow after the whistle in what would be a fairly egregious act of unsportsmanlike conduct. You would have to imagine that both players will be hearing from the league office for that one. Certainly Moehrig’s low blow will have to be met with a stiff penalty. But Jennings going at him with a punch after the game was over isn’t going to be looked upon too kindly by the NFL, either. It was a fitting conclusion to what was one of the poorest primetime games the NFL has seen in some time. The 49ers easily defeated the Panthers by a 20-9 scoreline as Brock Purdy and Bryce Young combined for five interceptions on the night in a game that truly only became interesting after the final whistle sounded.

49ers Studs and Duds: The Niners dominate while Brock Purdy implodes

The good news about ugly wins is that they count just the same in the standings. There is no column for style points in the NFL, which is fortunate, because the San Francisco 49ers wouldn’t have earned any in their Monday night victory over the Carolina Panthers. But with the 20-9 win, the Niners are sitting at 8-4. In a muddled NFC, they likely need just two more victories to punch a ticket to the postseason. That’s the math. But here is the bad news about ugly wins: They force you to stare into the abyss. They make you wonder if this team should even bother chasing those two wins, let alone book travel arrangements for January. Monday was a survival test, and I suppose the Niners did what they needed to do. It was messy. It was confusing. It was a win. Here is who kept the ship afloat, and the man who nearly sank it: 💪 STUDS Christian McCaffrey • RB Lost in the interceptfest was the fact that McCaffrey remains the most reliable bailout plan in football. His nine touches on the opening drive were so brutally effective that there wasn’t time to stop and consider that giving him that much volume that early is borderline coaching malpractice. But once Kyle Shanahan finally decided to stop flirting with disaster in the passing game and just run outside zone, the Niners put the game on ice. McCaffrey is currently on pace to become the only player in NFL history to register 1, 000 yards rushing and 1, 000 yards receiving in a single season twice. We are watching greatness mask a whole lot of mediocrity. Jauan Jennings • WR You cannot break what is already broken. On his game-opening touchdown, three Panthers defenders converged on Jennings. They hit him from the left. They hit him from the right. They hit him from behind. Most receivers fold. Jennings? He simply shrugged them off like a man brushing crumbs off jacket and walked into the end zone. It doesn’t matter what else happens on the stat sheet. A play that boss lands you on the Studs list immediately. Bryce Huff • DE Simple analysis here: Huff had the juice. He drew two penalties rushing off the edge simply because the tackles couldn’t handle his get-off. When the offense stalled, Huff made sure the Panthers couldn’t take advantage. Bryce Young will see Huff in his nightmares on Monday. Ji’Ayir Brown • S This was the finest game of Brown’s career. He didn’t just snag two massive interceptions; he was a menace all over the field. He was erasing receivers in the flat. He was stuffing the run in the C-gap like a linebacker. In the modern NFL, safety play is destiny. If Brown has leveled up alongside the equally violent Malik Mustapha, the Niners suddenly have a duo that can wreck game plans. If San Francisco makes a run, it starts with these two. George Kittle • TE Another week, another superlative performance. Catching tough passes? Check. Mauling defenders in the run game? Check. What more is there to say? He is the gold standard. 📉 DUDS Brock Purdy • 3INTQB The three interceptions were inexcusable and the single reason this game wasn’t a blowout by halftime. If you want to be charitable, you could say the third interception was a great play by Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn. But even that was only possible because Purdy lacked the field vision to see the danger before letting it fly. The first two? Those were woeful. Underthrown. Late. It looked like a guy who hadn’t taken a snap in years, not a franchise quarterback. This was Purdy’s worst outing since the Christmas Day debacle in 2023. This is untenable. You can get away with this against Carolina. You cannot make the playoffs with play like this. You cannot get away with this nonsense in the playoffs. If San Francisco wants to be more than a Wild Card exit, Purdy has to find his game. The good news? We just saw it last week.

Panthers cut 49ers lead to 7-3 after Brock Purdy’s third interception of the first half

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is having a nightmare of a first half, but his team still leads the Panthers. Purdy has thrown interceptions on three straight drives, including a pair of passes that cornerback Jaycee Horn has picked off. Horn’s second one set the Panthers up at the 49ers’ 33-yard line and Carolina picked up two first downs before a pass to running back Chuba Hubbard lost three yards on a third down from the 4-yard line. Ryan Fitzgerald came in for a field goal and the Panthers cut the 49ers’ lead to 7-3 with 2: 28 left in the first half. Horn’s first interception set the Panthers up in the red zone and they drove the ball to the 1-yard line before quarterback Bryce Young’s ill-advised throw to tight end Mitchell Evans was picked off by 49ers safety Ji’Ayir Brown.

San Jose State loses quarterback Walter Eget in 25-3 loss to first-place San Diego State

San Jose State’s 25-3 loss to San Diego State on Saturday night was mostly caused by the Spartans’ self-inflicted wounds that created too big of a deficit to battle back from at Snapdragon stadium. On top of two turnovers and a pair of missed field goals, it didn’t help that the Spartans also lost starting quarterback Walker Eget in the first quarter. “It was kind of indicative of this year. The kicking game hurt us and we had big turnovers,” said Spartans coach Ken Niumatalolo, whose team has a minus-9 turnover margin and has made just 58 percent of its field goal attempts (11-for-19). Eget suffered an apparent leg injury and was later seen on the sideline using crutches after going 4-for-8 for 32 yards and an interception. While not revealing many details, Niumatalolo struck an ominous tone when asked about Eget’s injury. “I’ll just say it didn’t look good,” Niumatalolo said. “Haven’t got anything official but we’ll find out in a little bit.” Eget’s injury forced freshman quarterback Tama Amisone to take over the offense. Amisone, a 5-foot-11, 184-pound product of Hawaii’s Kapolei High, utilized his duel-threat abilities to give the Aztecs a different look. He rushed for a team-high 75 yards on 13 runs while completing 15 of 27 passes for 104 yards and an interception. The San Diego State defense, which is ranked first in the Mountain West while allowing just 12. 5 points per game, held the Spartans to 268 yards of offense and out of the end zone. The Aztecs had seven tackles for loss, including four sacks. After electing to receive the ball at the outset, the Spartans quickly put themselves in trouble when Eget was intercepted by ex-McClymonds High of Oakland standout Dwayne McDougle on the third play of the game. The first of McDougle’s two interceptions set up the Aztecs at the Spartans’ 20-yard line. They scored six plays later on Lucky Sutton’s 1-yard touchdown run. San Jose State moved into field goal range on its next offensive drive, but kicker Denis Lynch slipped while attempting a 43-yard field goal that had no chance of success. Fellow Spartans kicker Mathias Brown, kicking from the left hash, then went 1-for-2 on his field goal attempts in the first half, making a 37-yarder and missing a 39-yarder. Despite their offensive woes, the Spartans’ defense looked much-improved in interim defensive coordinator Bojay Filimoeatu’s first game since taking over for longtime coach Derrick Odum, who was fired on Monday. San Jose State’s defense limited the Aztecs offense to just 248 yards total yards and 5-for-13 on third downs. But the SJSU offense was never able to capitalize. “If we could have just mustered up something on offense, I feel like our defense could have kept their juice,” Niumatalolo said. “I thought the defense rallied and that was a testament to Bojay.” San Jose State (3-8, 2-5 MWC) has now lost three games in a row, its longest losing streak since 2023. Meanwhile, San Diego State (9-2, 6-1 MWC) put itself in position to clinch the conference’s regular-season title with a victory next Friday night against New Mexico. With Amisone in the game and without Eget, the nation’s second-leading passer with 3, 015 yards, the Spartans emphasized the run game heavily. The Spartans’ offensive philosophy change Saturday night was by necessity, though. “We got beat up front,” Niumatalolo said. “It’s hard to throw the football when the quarterback is running for his life.” SJSU running backs Steve Chavez-Soto (51 yards, 14 carries) and Viliami Teu (23 yards, five carries) combined for 74 yards on 19 attempts for a combined 133 rushing yards for SJSU. Like Eget, Amisone had to leave the game due to an undisclosed injury. While he received medical attention on the sideline, Spartans freshman quarterback Robert McDaniel, a UCLA transfer, took over for their final drive of the game. McDaniel finished the game 1-for-3 passing for minus-1 yard. San Diego State’s offense was missing its top two wide receivers as both Jordan Napier and Jacob Bostick were ruled out of the game with injuries. The Aztecs offense struggled to get the passing game going without them as quarterback Jayden Denegal went just 4-for-8 for 16 yards until the two-minute warning. But Denegal completed a 52-yard bomb to Donovan Brown to move the ball to the SJSU 4. This set up a 1-yard TD sneak by Denegal, giving SDSU an 18-3 lead. Senegal finished 8-of-16 for 81 yards passing.. SJSU finishes the season 0-6 on the road and will close its season at home next Saturday at 7: 30 p. m. against Fresno State in the annual battle for the Valley.

Bears bold predictions for huge Week 12 game against Steelers

The Chicago Bears are in first place by themselves in the NFC North. They take a 7-3 record into their Week 12 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) in a game that gives them a new chance to earn respect around the NFL. The Bears have reeled off three consecutive wins with the rapidly improving Caleb Williams at quarterback. There is still quite a bit of room for Williams to improve his game, but he has become an elite QB1 when it comes to evading the opponent’s pass rush and turning an attempted sack into a positive running play. Williams was the most sacked quarterback in the league a year ago when he was trapped 68 times. He has been sacked just 16 times this season. Williams’ usual move is to spin away from a potential sacker’s arms and run to the outside before turning it upfield for a significant gain. There are other areas of improvement for the Bears this season, but those are the signature plays that have stood out in recent victories over the Bengals, Giants and Vikings. Williams has been a major difference maker for Bears head coach Ben Johnson. There are two significant question marks that this improving team takes into this game. None of the victories the Bears have had this season have come over winning teams. They can only play the teams on their schedule, but that is a fact that the team will have to overcome this week against the Steelers and in upcoming games against the Packers (2), 49ers and Lions. The other factor working against the Bears is Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Williams will throw for 250-plus yards and 2 TDs The Bears will go as far as Williams can take them this season, and he has been a leader who can come through when the game is on the line. That brings comfort to Johnson and Williams’ teammates. While much of it has to do with his ability to run with the ball, he also has one of the strongest arms in the league. Williams has completed 194 of 325 passes for 2, 329 yards with 13 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. While his completion percentage of 59. 7 percent is not where the quarterback would like it to be, he has shown improvement in Year 2. He can make enough big plays with his arm that the Bears’ offense has become a dangerous commodity. Second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze has been a solid target with 39 receptions for 600 yards and 6 touchdowns and he has produced 12 plays of 20 yards or more. Veteran DJ Moore is also dependable even though he has not been as productive as he has been in the past. Moore has caught 31-421-1 through the first 10 games. The X-factor could be rookie tight end Colston Loveland. He caught the game-winning TD pass against the Bengals in Week 9 and he has the hands and the route-running ability to cause big problems for the Steelers’ brutal pass defense. Pittsburgh ranks 32nd as Mike Tomlin’s team allows 261. 7 yards per game through the air. Bears will punish Rodgers or backup QB Mason Rudolph with 2 interceptions The former Packers quarterback has dominated the Bears with a 24-5 career record against them. Rodgers has bragged about owning the city of Chicago after one of his last victories with Green Bay. There is no guarantee that the 41-year-old quarterback will be in the lineup because of a fractured left (non-throwing) wrist, but the Bears have to find a way to defeat their long-time rival if he is under center.. The Bears defense has the ability to punish either Rodgers or Steelers backup Mason Rudolph. The defense is not like to dominate with the pass rush, but the Bears excel at taking the ball away from their opponents. Safety Kevin Byard leads the league with 5 interceptions and he excels at bating quarterbacks into thinking their receiver is open and ruining those plans with his quickness and decisive play. Nahshon Wright has been an upgrade at cornerback and he has 4 interceptions and 8 passes defensed. Wright has returned an interception for a touchdown. Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds has 4 interceptions in addition to leading the team with 89 tackles. Bears have significant momentum and will earn victory The Steelers got off to an excellent start and built a solid lead in the AFC North when they won 4 of their first 5 games. They have struggled in the ensuing 5 games with a 2-3 record. The defense has been vulnerable all year and they are particularly bad at stopping the passing game. The Bears are improving and know how to make key plays when the game is on the line in the 4th quarter. This has been their signature this season and it will come into play against Pittsburgh in a 24-20 triumph.

Texans Announce Devastating CJ Stroud Decision Before Bills Game

The Houston Texans host the Buffalo Bills on “Thursday Night Football” in a short-week matchup that’s starting to feel like a must-win. With the Indianapolis Colts leading the AFC South at 8-2 and the Texans sitting in third at 5-5, the odds are heavily stacked against them winning the division, meaning a Wild Card berth might be the only way to sneak into the playoffs. Unfortunately, that means they’d have to beat out teams like the Bills (7-3), Los Angeles Chargers (7-4), Jacksonville Jaguars (6-4), Kansas City Chiefs (5-5), or Baltimore Ravens (5-5), a tall task for a team that again won’t have its franchise QB. On Tuesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that C. J. Stroud has been ruled out for Thursday’s contest against Buffalo, handing the reins over to fifth-year veteran Davis Mills for the third straight week. An unfortunate development, given that many had presumed Stroud would have cleared concussion protocol by now. Read More: Raiders’ Pete Carroll Sends Strong Message to Geno Smith After Cowboys Loss Drafted No. 2 overall in 2023 out of Ohio State, Stroud won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, throwing for 4, 108 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just five interceptions with a 100. 8 passer rating. Since then, his numbers have dipped: just 3, 727 yards, 20 TDs, and 12 INTs in 2024 (87. 0 passer rating), and now 1, 702 passing yards, 11 TDs, and five INTs across eight games this season (93. 4 passer rating). Nevertheless, he remains a franchise cornerstone for a team that just two years ago made it to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Read More: Cowboys’ Brian Schottenheimer Addresses CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens Decision Stroud suffered a concussion in Week 9 after a hard hit against the Denver Broncos; he entered and has remained in the NFL concussion protocol ever since. Mills has started in Stroud’s absence and produced steady performances: in four appearances, he has 726 passing yards, three TDs, one INT, and an 82. 2 passer rating, including back-to-back 270‑yard‑plus games that resulted in Texans wins. While Mills has proven he can step in when needed, Stroud raises the Texans’ offensive ceiling significantly, which makes Thursday’s game against a top-ranked offense like Buffalo (averaging 387. 4 total yards per game) all the more worrisome. Sportsbooks currently list the Bills as 3. 5-point favorites with a 43. 5-point over/under on the road in NRG Stadium.

Hurricanes standout Keionte Scott has ‘heart-wrenching’ injury

**Miami Hurricanes May Be Without Star Defensive Back Keionte Scott for Some Time**

Miami Gardens – Transfer defensive back Keionte Scott has been a revelation for Miami’s defense this season, but the Hurricanes may have to play without him for an extended period. The senior nickelback suffered a “serious” injury, UM coach Mario Cristobal revealed after the Hurricanes’ blowout win over N.C. State on Saturday.

Scott was seen wearing a walking boot on his right foot before the game, underscoring the severity of the injury. “You miss him,” Cristobal said. “It’s a serious injury and it’s one that’s heart-wrenching, gut-wrenching, really.”

Scott, who joined Miami in the summer after last playing at Auburn, quickly became a star in the Hurricanes’ strong defense. This season, he has recorded 29 tackles, three sacks, and an interception — a pick-six against Syracuse last week. Pro Football Focus has also given Scott high marks, awarding him a 90.3 defensive grade, the best in the ACC among defensive backs entering this week’s games.

“He means so much to this team, and as good of a player as he is, he wants to win,” Cristobal said. “That’s all he cares about. He’s up for so many awards. And he’s a big part of the heart and soul of our team.”

In Scott’s absence, freshman Bryce Fitzgerald started at nickelback. Fitzgerald contributed two tackles and one pass breakup.

“I think having him on the sideline as a coach, as a leader, his enthusiasm, his voice was very impactful and powerful, and the guys that stepped in did a really good job,” Cristobal added.

Other players in the secondary also stepped up, including safety Jakobe Thomas, who notched two interceptions in the win.

“That’s a true teammate,” Thomas said of Scott. “A guy that you can lean on, on and off the field. Keionte is one of my best friends and I’ll say it every day — he’s probably the greatest teammate I’ve ever had in my life. He takes care of all those young guys. Bryce had to step in at nickel this week, and Keionte made sure that he knew every call, helped with everything. He was the most juiced on the sideline on every play. So he’s a great guy.”

As Miami looks ahead, the team will rely on the leadership and growth of players like Fitzgerald and Thomas to continue its defensive dominance while hoping for a strong recovery from Scott.

Lampasas takes down San Angelo Lake View in bi-district game, ending historic season

Early turnovers put the Lake View High School football team in an early hole during a 52-14 loss to Lampasas in the bi-district round at San Angelo Stadium on Thursday.

A fumble and goal-line interception gave the Badgers (9-2) a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, and the Chiefs (7-4) were unable to recover.

They did respond to the tough opening quarter with a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Alvizo to Cristian Esparza. However, on a promising offensive drive, Alvizo suffered an upper-body injury and was ruled out of the game midway through the second quarter. Alvizo got off the field under his own power but appeared shaken up after spending some time on the turf. After the game, coach Hector Guevara did not provide details on the nature of Alvizo’s injury.

Backup quarterback Chris Shumpert came into the game and led the Chiefs to their second scoring drive, which was capped by a 6-yard touchdown pass to freshman wideout Andrew Young.

Turnovers continued to plague the Chiefs throughout the game, finishing with four interceptions and two fumbles. Before the Chiefs could blink, the Badgers were up 42-7 after scoring on their first six drives. Lampasas had three fumbles but recovered them all.

“I think the kids played with their hearts, and our community should be proud of them for all they’ve done and continue to do,” Guevara said. “They played with a lot of class and a lot of love and a lot of effort, and they played for each other. That was the most important thing.”

Lake View’s season ended with a 7-4 record, their best since 1996. Guevara credited the senior class for this year’s historic season and the excitement surrounding the program.

“It’s been a phenomenal year,” Lake View running back Izaiah Rios said. “I have no regrets with this team. All these seniors grew up together since we were kids, and it was just awesome to be able to play four years with them and this season with them. They’re just my family. I have no regrets at all with them.”

Lampasas improved to 9-2 and will face off against No. 4 West Plains in the area round.

NFL Sends Notice About Texans’ All-Pro Playmaker Before Titans Game

The Houston Texans received another stellar performance from former first-round draft pick and starting cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stingley finished the contest with 2 total tackles and 2 pass deflections in the 36-29 comeback victory. He also made an eye-popping interception that significantly impacted the game.

### NFL Sends Message on Texans CB Derek Stingley Jr.

The Texans selected Stingley with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 draft. Since then, he has quickly established himself as one of the league’s top defensive backs, earning his first Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro honors in 2024. In March, Stingley signed a three-year, $90 million contract extension—an investment justified by plays like his recent one-handed interception.

The NFL’s official X handle acknowledged the moment, posting on November 11:
“Derek Stingley’s one-handed interception flipped the momentum for the Texans [triumphant emoji].”

So far this season, Stingley has compiled 21 total stops, 10 pass breakups, and 3 interceptions. His crucial interception came at a pivotal time, halting the Jaguars from extending their 20-10 halftime lead. Although Jacksonville scored 9 more points after that, the Texans answered on the scoreboard to stay in the game. Thanks to Stingley—whom Next Gen Stats credited with allowing only 1 reception for 9 yards on four targets— the Jaguars failed to score again.

### Derek Stingley Takes Victory Lap

Stingley, who has garnered Defensive Player of the Year attention and debuted at No. 18 on the NFL’s Top 100 list for 2025, was clearly proud of his performance during the Texans’ comeback win. He shared messages from fellow NFL players who were in awe of his interception.

“Holy F!” exclaimed “Corner Suite Podcast” host and former Texans DB Steven Nelson on X (November 9). “Sting man [checkmark emoji].”

Fellow NFL cornerback Kelvin Joseph posted a series of fire emojis tagging Stingley, signaling his admiration.

Former Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman Breiden Fehoko praised Stingley highly on X, sharing the interception clip and saying:
“There is nobody in Derek Stingley’s realm right now as a cornerback in the NFL. He has no peers.”

According to Pro Football Reference, Stingley is allowing a career-best 41.9% completion rate on 43 targets in his coverage this season. This marks the best completion percentage allowed among all defenders who have faced at least as many targets, per Stathead.

### Derek Stingley Gets Honest About Head-Turning Interception

Speaking candidly about the moment and the roaring home crowd celebration, Stingley told Brian “Big Sarge” Barefield after the game on November 9:
“I was just looking like, ‘Oh, my God!’ The stadium, going crazy. Everybody screaming. Nah, it was crazy.”

The Texans were exacting revenge for their Week 3 loss to the Jaguars, doing so without their starting quarterback C. J. Stroud. Stingley’s timely play helped keep hope alive while the Texans’ offense found its footing.

Teammate and fellow cornerback Kamari Lassiter praised Stingley’s athleticism and instincts:
“He’s one of the greatest players I ever played with. 1-of-1. Go out there, dive, undercut the route, one-hand snag it. I didn’t get to see it because I was covered on the other side. But once I saw the replay, I’m like, ‘Bro, you gotta chill out, bro. You gotta chill out.’”

Derek Stingley Jr. continues to demonstrate why he is a cornerstone of the Texans’ defense and one of the NFL’s elite cornerbacks.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin on the loss: ‘We stunk it up tonight. We’ll be back.’

There haven’t been many moments during Mike Tomlin’s tenure as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach where he appeared as irritated as he was following Sunday’s blowout loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Tomlin declined to address specifics about the loss regarding individual players, but his confidence in the team remains intact. He firmly declared that the Steelers will be back.

Speaking candidly about the offensive struggles, Tomlin highlighted key issues, including the offense not converting a single third down until the middle of the fourth quarter. Overall, Pittsburgh’s offense managed just 221 passing yards, with running back Jaylen Warren accounting for 91 of those yards — 70 rushing and 21 receiving.

When reporters pressed Tomlin for details about quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ poor performance, he refused to engage. Instead, he snapped at the media, calling out their line of questioning.

Rodgers had his worst game of the season, throwing for only 161 yards. He also threw two interceptions and was sacked in the end zone for a safety, contributing to the team’s disappointing outing.
