Nick Hodge, publisher at Digest Publishing, is most bullish on copper and uranium in 2026, but also believes gold and silver prices have further to go despite recent gains.

‘We are in the middle of a precious metals bull market,’ he said. ‘Silver hasn’t had its day yet, so I think that’s a pretty good indicator that we’ve still got some time to go.’

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Friday (November 14) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$94,223.98, a 4 percent increase in 24 hours and its lowest valuation of the day. Its highest was US$97,203.84.

Bitcoin price performance, November 14, 2025.

Bitcoin’s drop below US$95,000 on Friday, driven by expiring derivatives, whale selling, and weak institutional and retail demand, has intensified fears of an entrenched bear market.

Analysts predict Q4 could be Bitcoin’s “worst fourth quarter on record.’

On X, analyst @follis_ notes that the Wyckoff Distribution model, a classic five phase pattern typically observed near market tops and often precursor to prolonged selling pressure, could signal a potential end to Bitcoin’s bull run.

The pattern suggests that after a buying climax near US$122,000 and a sequence of tests failing to create new highs, the price entered a markdown phase. Bitcoin could drop to US$86,000 if key support levels fail to hold.

Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) was priced at US$3,129.77, a 1.6 percent decrease in the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3,131.31, while its highest was US$3,246.27.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$139.74, down by 1.9 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$138.83, while its highest was US$143.61.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.27, down by 1.5 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.26, while its highest was US$2.33.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

Bitcoin’s bearish trajectory has pushed market sentiment into extreme fear. As of today, CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index continues to trend in extreme fear territory with the indicator sitting at 22, marking the lowest levels of investor confidence since March and signaling that traders are highly cautious about entering the market.

Derivatives data

Bitcoin and Ether futures markets saw a wave of long-side liquidations in the hours leading up to the end of the trading day, signaling trader capitulation amid continued price weakness. Roughly US$65.24 million in Bitcoin positions were liquidated over a four hour window, with the bulk coming from longs. Ether followed a similar pattern, registering US$22.13 million in liquidations, again concentrated among leveraged long positions.

The liquidations coincided with a clear contraction in open interest, suggesting that traders not only endured forced unwinds but also reduced overall exposure. Bitcoin open interest slipped 2.3 percent to US$66.05 billion, while Ether open interest saw a sharper 3.8 percent decline to US$36.31 billion.

Funding rates stayed positive — 0.007 for Bitcoin and 0.012 for Ether — indicating that the futures market remained slightly tilted toward bullish positioning despite the shakeout.

However, Bitcoin’s relative strength index sat at a notably low 27.33, entering the oversold zone and hinting that derivatives pressure may have pushed the market toward a possible short-term exhaustion point.

Taken together, the metrics point to forced deleveraging rather than a broad directional shift, though sustained weakness in open interest could temper near-term volatility once liquidation volumes normalize.

Today’s crypto news to know

Saylor denies reports of Bitcoin selloff

Strategy’s (NASDAQ:MSTR) Michael Saylor took to X on Friday to debunk reports that the company has reduced its Bitcoin holdings by roughly 47,000 BTC.

“I think the volatility comes with the territory,” he reiterated in a CNBC interview that day. “If you’re going to be a Bitcoin investor, you need a four-year time horizon and you need to be prepared to handle the volatility in this market.”

An earlier post from @Crypto Crib claims that the company had offloaded over 30,000 BTC; however, community-supplied context clarifies that 22,704 BTC were moved on October 31, and that these transfers were internal custody movements, not open-market sales.

Tether expanding commodity lending

In an interview with Bloomberg, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the company is ‘expanding its presence in commodity lending,’ noting that the focus going forward will include traditional commodity trades like agriculture and oil managed under its new Trade Finance unit, which provides short-term credit for global supply chains.

The company has lent roughly US$1.5 billion in credit to commodities traders so far.

Alibaba builds tokenized payment system

Alibaba Grou Holding (NYSE:BABA) is developing a stablecoin-like system to streamline cross-border payments for its US$35 billion e-commerce network, aiming for a year-end launch.

The tokenized platform will initially support US dollars and euros, and will include further plans to expand to additional currencies using JPMorgan’s tokenization technology.

Under the system, artificial intelligence-driven smart contracts will automate settlements, dispute resolution, and conditional fund releases to reduce friction in B2B transactions. The system will operate alongside Alibaba’s Agentic Pay rail to enhance speed and transparency.

While not a formal stablecoin, the solution acts as a fiat-backed digital token for settlement purposes.

UAE tightens crypto access

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has enacted a new central bank law that broadens licensing requirements for financial services, effectively criminalizing unlicensed crypto activity. Article 170 imposes penalties, including fines up to AED 500 million (US$136 million) and imprisonment, for offering financial products without authorization.

Self-custody tools, such as Bitcoin wallets, blockchain explorers, and market-data services, now fall under the licensing net, creating compliance challenges for providers inside and outside the UAE.

Article 61 further restricts promotion, marketing, or publication of unlicensed financial activities, affecting even online communications. Companies have a one year window to comply, subject to central bank discretion.

Uniswap introduces continuous clearing auctions

Uniswap introduced continuous clearing auctions on Thursday (November 13), a new protocol aiming to facilitate token offerings through its infrastructure. The company said that the protocol will help teams ‘bootstrap liquidity on Uniswap v4 and find the market price for new and low-liquidity tokens,’ adding that several additional tools currently under development will eventually be added to help projects launch and deepen token liquidity on the platform.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH ) (OTCQX: SYHBF ) (Frankfurt: SC1P ) (‘Skyharbour’, ‘SYH’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive repurchase agreement (the ‘Strategic Agreement’) with Denison Mines Corp. (‘Denison’ or ‘DML’) whereby Denison will acquire an initial project interest in Skyharbour’s Russell Lake Uranium Project (‘Russell’ or the ‘Project’) and the parties have agreed to enter into four separate joint venture agreements at closing on various claims making up Russell (the ‘Transaction’). The Project is strategically located in the central portion of the Eastern Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, with access to regional infrastructure, including an all-weather road and powerline.

Russell Lake Project Location Map:
http://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/2025-11-14%20SKY-RussellLake-Updated.jpg

Highlights:

  • Strategic Agreement represents combined total project consideration of up to CAD $61.5 million consisting of cash or share payments to Skyharbour totalling up to $21.5 million (including $18.0 million before year end) plus expenditures totalling up to $40.0 million for Denison to acquire between a 20% and 70% ownership interest over seven years in the claims making up Russell, with Skyharbour owning the remaining interests.
  • Denison (TSX: DML; NYSE American: DNN), a leading uranium mining company with a market capitalization of over $3 billion, is developing the Wheeler River Project (‘Wheeler River’), which shares a 55 kilometre border with Russell. Denison is an existing, large corporate shareholder of Skyharbour and now joins the Company as a strategic, active, funding partner at Russell.
  • The Project will be divided into four different joint ventures, including Russell Lake (‘RL’), Getty East, Wheeler North, and the Wheeler River Inlier Claims, of which Skyharbour will retain initial ownership interests of 80%, 70%, 51%, and 30%, respectively. Denison can then earn up to a 70% interest in the Wheeler North and Getty East properties through option agreements.
  • The technical teams of Denison and Skyharbour will work cooperatively to advance and unlock value across the joint ventures, employing top-tier exploration and development expertise in the region.
  • Denison has committed to a minimum of $4 million in exploration expenditures over the first two years at Wheeler North and Getty East combined, as well as agreeing to fund to maintain its pro-rata 20% participation interest in the RL claims through 2029 up until such time that total exploration expenditures on the property reach $10 million.
  • Skyharbour to remain operator with an 80% ownership interest at the RL claims comprising over 53,192 hectares of the original 73,314 hectare Russell Lake Project. The Company will also act as operator during the first earn-in at Getty East with Denison sole funding the exploration in order to fulfill the earn-in option criteria.
  • Skyharbour to benefit with a substantial financial commitment from Denison before year end to help fund its uranium exploration and corporate activities through 2026. The Company will also generate revenue from its operator fee at the McGowan Lake exploration camp at the Project.
  • Skyharbour will continue to directly advance its high-grade Moore Uranium project as well as the RL claims at Russell, while partner companies fund exploration at some of the Company’s other projects.

Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour, stated: ‘This is a transformative transaction for Skyharbour and our shareholders as it represents a major stamp of approval for Russell with up to $61.5 million in combined project consideration coming in. We are very pleased to expand upon our long-standing relationship with Denison and to partner with their team to advance one of the more prospective exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin proximal to existing and developing mines. Denison’s success in exploring, permitting, and developing the neighboring world-class Wheeler River Project will provide considerable insight and experience as we jointly pursue success at Russell. Further, this transaction delivers on our belief that Russell should be treated as multiple different projects due to the abundance of targets and sheer scale of the land package in one of the most prolific uranium exploration corridors in the world. The structure and terms of the Strategic Agreement allow Skyharbour to continue exploring as operator at the majority of the claims at Russell, while participating in the future success that Denison seeks as operator at the Wheeler North and Wheeler River Inlier claims. Furthermore, we will receive a significant amount of cash and Denison shares to help fund our exploration efforts and corporate activities through 2026.’

David Cates, President and CEO of Denison, further commented: ‘As Denison nears receipt of final regulatory approvals for the Phoenix In-Situ Recovery mine proposed for our flagship Wheeler River property, we are also making measured investments in our project pipeline – including our next development assets and high-potential exploration properties. Given its proximity to Wheeler River, Denison has had an interest in adding Russell to our property portfolio for much of my nearly two decades with the Company. This transaction achieves that objective by providing Denison with the opportunity to lead and participate in exploration efforts across four newly created joint ventures, which are designed to drive collaboration between Denison and Skyharbour’s technical teams. We are excited to build on our long-standing relationship with Skyharbour and accelerate the evaluation of this exceptional package of highly prospective ground.’

Reorganization of the Russell Lake Project:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Russell-Map-New.jpg

Upon closing of the Strategic Agreement, Denison will earn an initial project interest in each of the four new Russell exploration projects including a 49% interest in the Wheeler North claims, a 20% interest in the RL claims, a 30% interest in the Getty East claims, and a 70% interest in the Wheeler River Inlier claims.

  1. Wheeler North (51% SYH, 49% DML ; subject to additional earn-in options ) : The yellow claims in the map above represent 16,409 hectares over eight claims. The claims host some of the exploration targets located proximal to Wheeler River, including the Grayling and Fork Zones. Upon closing of the Transaction, Denison will have the option to increase its interest in Wheeler North to a 70% interest in these claims and Denison will become the operator of Wheeler North as described in more detail below.
  2. Russell Lake or RL (80% SYH, 20% DML) : The pink claims in the map above represent 53,192 hectares over 16 claims. These claims are located north and west of Skyharbour’s Moore Project and host numerous exploration target areas including Christie Lake, NE Russell, Blue Steel, Taylor Bay, South Russell, and Kowalchuk Lake. In order to maintain its initial interest in RL, Denison has agreed to fund its pro rata share of up to a maximum of C$10.0 million in total project expenditures. Upon the closing of the Transaction, Skyharbour will remain operator of RL.
  3. Wheeler River Inliers (30% SYH, 70% DML) . The blue claims in the map above represent 608 hectares over two claims. These are inlier claims within Denison’s Wheeler River project hosting the West Russell and C-Block exploration target areas. DML will become operator of the Wheeler River Inliers.
  4. Getty East (70% SYH, 30% DML ; subject to additional earn-in options ) . The green claim in the map above representing 3,105 hectares is host to the Little Man Lake exploration prospect. The claim borders Cameco’s Cree Zimmer property which holds its Key Lake operations to the south.  Upon the closing of the Transaction, Skyharbour will remain operator of Getty East; however, Denison will have the option to become the operator and acquire up to a 70% interest in this joint venture as described in more detail below.

Transaction Details:

The consideration payment will consist of a $2 million cash payment immediately upon execution of the Strategic Agreement (the ‘Upfront Payment’), and deferred consideration of $16 million (the ‘Deferred Consideration’) payable on or before December 31 st , 2025.

The Deferred Consideration shall be payable in two tranches, each of which may be paid in cash or shares of Denison at Denison’s election, including $8 million on or before the fifth business day prior to December 21 st , 2025, and another $8 million within 10 days of December 21 st , 2025. Closing of the transaction (‘Closing’) is expected to occur on or before December 21 st , 2025.

The current exploration camp at McGowan Lake on the Project will continue to be operated by Skyharbour and an administrative fee will be payable by Denison to Skyharbour. The claims comprising Russell are subject to various existing underlying royalties to other parties.

The Transaction is subject to customary approvals, including Skyharbour obtaining TSX Venture Exchange approval. The Transaction will be considered a Reviewable Transaction under TSX Venture Exchange policies as David Cates is a director of both Denison and Skyharbour.

Russell Lake Uranium Project Overview:

The Russell Lake Project is a large, advanced-stage uranium exploration property totalling 73,314 hectares strategically located between Cameco’s Key Lake and McArthur River Projects, and adjoining Denison’s Wheeler River Project to the west and Skyharbour’s Moore Uranium Project to the east. The northern extension of Highway 914 between Key Lake and McArthur River runs through the western extent of the property and greatly enhances accessibility, while a high-voltage powerline is situated alongside this road.

Skyharbour’s New 80% Owned RL Project:

The claims making up the RL Project constitute over seventy percent of the original Russell project area and will continue to be explored by Skyharbour as the operator and 80% owner. Denison will acquire a 20% interest and has agreed to fund to maintain its pro-rata participation interest in the RL claims through December 31 st , 2029, or until such time that total expenditures on the properties have reached $10 million.

The RL claims have numerous highly prospective targets that Skyharbour will continue to advance. The Christie Lake target area contains basement-hosted uranium mineralization with historical drilling returning 0.17% U 3 O 8 over 0.4 metres at 436.4 metres depth in hole CL-10-03, hosted within a strongly hematized breccia. A prospective clay altered basement fault system runs throughout this area.

The Blue Steel target area comprises graphitic metasediments that were last drilled in 2008. The full extent of the graphitic corridor remains unknown and completely untested. Historical geophysics indicate potential faulting along this corridor, highlighting it as a priority area for follow-up work using modern geophysical methods to refine drill targets.

The Kowalchuk area, situated within the southern Russell claims, is another prospective area on the RL claims, with multiple inferred structural trends passing through it. This area has seen only limited modern geophysical coverage to date.

In addition to the aforementioned target areas, there are many kilometres of untested EM conductors on the RL claims underlain by rocks of low magnetic intensity, suggestive of the presence of prospective graphitic meta-pelitic basement lithologies typical of Athabasca-style uranium systems. With limited modern exploration conducted over the past 12 years, the RL claims remain underexplored and highly prospective for both expanding known mineralized zones and making new discoveries.

Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB: BRWXF; ‘ BRW ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to announce inaugural drilling results from its Anatacau Main Project, located in the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region of Quebec. All drillholes were centered on the Anais showing and intercepted multiple, large spodumene-bearing pegmatites with rich lithium mineralization. The pegmatites are found along a major deformation corridor, reminiscent of the neighboring Galaxy deposit owned by Rio Tinto located 22 kilometers to the West.

Highlights include:

  • 1.66% Li2O over 47.2 meters in drill hole AN-25-05 within a larger package of continuous lithium mineralization (present within both country rock and pegmatites) of 120.7 meters at 1.31% Li2O .
  • Very high cesium values intercepted in multiple secondary sub-parallel dykes including 1.46% Cs2O over 1 meter and 0.8% Cs2O over 1 meter.
  • This latest discovery is now drill traced over 170 meters of strike length and is open in all directions.

Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: ‘Today’s exciting results underscores the opportunities across our continuously growing portfolio. We are rapidly starting to define a sizeable lithium system at Anatacau Main which, importantly, remains open in all directions. Furthermore, we are seeing mineralization constrained to the same structural corridor that is found at Rio Tinto’s Galaxy project (54.3Mt M&I at 1.30% Li2O and 55.9Mt Inferred at 1.29%, see Note ) and BRW’s Anatacau West. At Anatacau Main, we control over 18 kilometers of this highly prospective corridor which will be the focus of subsequent work in Q1 2026.

Between these strong results at Anatacau, a forthcoming maiden resource estimate for Mirage, an inaugural drill campaign in Greenland and further growth opportunities beyond the existing portfolio, Brunswick Exploration is among the most exciting companies in the lithium exploration space.’

Results Interpretation

The largest pegmatite outcrop observed at the Anais showing has now been extended to over 170 meters in strike length and to a maximum depth of 98 meters. It remains open in all direction with an apparent thickness of 47.2 meters (DDH AN-25-05) at its widest point. The main pegmatite dyke is interpreted to be dipping 85 degrees to the West. Several other, well-mineralized stacked pegmatite intervals were also intercepted in all holes, demonstrating the potential for more dyke discoveries in the vicinity of the outcrop (Figure 1). The mineralized dykes discovered at Anatacau straddle the southern side of an interpreted major deformation zone, striking northwest-southeast; a structural control that is reminiscent of the Galaxy deposit (Figure 2). The different pegmatite dykes appear to be oriented North-South to Northeast-Southwest.

The pegmatite dykes show excellent continuity in terms and mineralogy and grade, with several high-grade zones intersected to date (Table 1, Figure 3). The mineralized pegmatite dykes typically exhibit massive to coarse crystals (15+centimeters) with a mineralogy consisting of quartz, white K-feldspar, plagioclase, white spodumene, and minor amounts of muscovite, fine-grained tourmaline, and blue apatite. Spodumene crystals are inclusion-free and are consistently white unlike spodumene mineralization found at the Galaxy deposit and Anatacau West which varies from off-white to greenish. Some pegmatite intervals are under the cut-off of 0.3% Li2O but demonstrate high values of tantalum and cesium (up to 1.46% Cs2O in a 1 meter interval). This highlights the potential for other types of mineralization and by-products at the Anatacau Main project, a feature uncommon in other James Bay projects.

Host rocks consist of greywacke and amphibolite, locally deformed into schist near the deformation zone where pegmatites seem to propagate well into both units. Holmquistite, a lithium amphibole, is commonly observed in all host rocks at varying concentrations (up to 1.5% Li2O in host rock) over significant widths. This pervasive lithium alteration is potentially indicative of significant lithium bearing fluids along the deformation corridor and could be potentially used as a vectoring tool for further discoveries.

A geometallurgical study is underway at SGS using DMS (Dense Media Separation) with results expected early in 2026.

Anatacau Drilling Campaign Overview

Six (6) diamond drill holes were completed (see Figure 1 and Table 2) for a total of 750 meters. The holes were spaced by 55 to 100m, and all holes intercepted mineralized pegmatites.

The aim of the 2025 drilling campaign was to test at shallow depths (less than 150 meters vertical depth) the pegmatite dykes mapped at surface on the Anaïs showing. The drilling campaign was performed in HQ size to perform a geometallurgical study, planned according to a grant from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests of the Quebec Government.

Brunswick Exploration discovered the Anais showing in 2023, which consists of several parallel pegmatite dykes with visible spodumene mineralization. The largest dyke found to date is exposed over a 15 m wide by 100m long outcrop. Several grab samples returned high grade values ranging from1.19 to 3.83% Li2O on the outcrop itself (see press release dated July 13, 2023). The Anais lithium discovery is located 22 kilometers East and along strike from Rio Tinto’s Galaxy project and BRW’s Anatacau West project.

QAQC

All drill core samples were collected under the supervision of BRW employees and contractors. The drill core was transported by helicopter to the logging facility at camp Wabamisk. and by truck from the drill platform to the core logging Each core was then logged, photographed, tagged, and then packed to be shipped to Val-d’Or. Core splitting by diamond saw and sampling was done by BRW contractor at their Val-d’Or facility. All pegmatite intervals were sampled at approximately 1m intervals to ensure representativity, excluding all host rock material. Host rock was also sent for analysis 1m before and after each pegmatite interval. Samples were bagged, and blanks, pulp duplicates and certified reference materials for lithium were inserted at regular intervals. Groups of samples were placed in larger bags, sealed with numbered tags, in order to maintain a chain of custody. The sample bags were transported from BRW contractor facility to the Agat laboratory in Val-d’Or. All sample preparation and analytical work was performed by Agat Laboratories. Samples were crushed in order for 75% of the material to pass through a 2mm screen (method 200075), split to a sub-sample of 250g, and the split sample pulverized (200087) to obtain more than 85% of the material passing a 75µm screen. A sub-sample of the pulverized fraction was dissolved in a sodium peroxide solution, prior to lithium analysis by ICP-OES and ICP-MS according to the Agat method 201378. All results passed the QA/QC screening at the laboratory, and all inserted standard, duplicates and blanks returned results that were within acceptable limits. All reported drill intersections are calculated on the basis of a lower cutoff grade of 0.30% Li2O.

Every week for the duration of the 2025 NFL regular season, USA TODAY Sports will provide timely updates to the league’s ever-evolving playoff picture − typically starting after Sunday afternoon’s late games and then moving forward for the remainder of the week (through Monday’s and Thursday’s games or Saturday’s, if applicable. And, when the holidays roll around, we’ll be watching then, too.)

What just happened? What does it mean? What are the pertinent factors (and, perhaps, tiebreakers) prominently in play as each conference’s seven-team bracket begins to crystallize? All will be explained and analyzed up to the point when the postseason field is finalized on Sunday, Jan. 4.

Here’s where things stand with Week 11 of the 2025 season nearly complete:

NFC playoff picture

1. Philadelphia Eagles (8-2), NFC East leaders: Something catastrophic (not uncommon in Philly) would have to occur for the defending champs not to be the first back-to-back winners of this division since they last did it … 21 years ago. After Sunday night’s win over Detroit, a Week 3 escape from the Rams currently confers the No. 1 seed to Philly. Remaining schedule: at Cowboys, vs. Bears, at Chargers, vs. Raiders, at Commanders, at Bills, vs. Commanders

2. Los Angeles Rams (8-2), NFC West leaders: They beat Seattle to notch their fifth straight win while taking over first place in the division. But the Rams effectively remain a game back of Philly in the conference standings. Remaining schedule: vs. Buccaneers, at Panthers, at Cardinals, vs. Lions, at Seahawks, at Falcons, vs. Cardinals

3. Chicago Bears (7-3), NFC North leaders: They’ve won seven of eight since an 0-2 start to stunningly take over first place in the division. And now it appears they’ll draw a weakened Pittsburgh team in Week 12. Remaining schedule: vs. Steelers, at Eagles, at Packers, vs. Browns, vs. Packers, at 49ers, vs. Lions

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-4), NFC South leaders: Their divisional lead is down to a half game over Carolina, but the Bucs’ schedule will soon get quite manageable. Remaining schedule: at Rams, vs. Cardinals, vs. Saints, vs. Falcons, at Panthers, at Dolphins, vs. Panthers

5. Seattle Seahawks (7-3), wild card No. 1: Tough loss to the Rams drops them out of first place in the NFC West. All three of the ‘Hawks’ losses are against NFC opponents. Remaining schedule: at Titans, vs. Vikings, at Falcons, vs. Colts, vs. Rams, at Panthers, at 49ers

6. Green Bay Packers (6-3-1), wild card No. 2: They get awfully banged up in Sunday’s victory over the Giants yet eventually advanced one rung in the NFC seedings. Remaining schedule: vs. Vikings, at Lions, vs. Bears, at Broncos, at Bears, vs. Ravens, at Vikings

7. San Francisco 49ers (7-4), wild card No. 3: Detroit’s latest setback moves a third NFC West team into the projected seven-team NFC playoff field. And maybe the Niners can start building some momentum with QB1 Brock Purdy back in the lineup. Remaining schedule: vs. Panthers, at Browns, BYE, vs. Titans, at Colts, vs. Bears, vs. Seahawks

8. Detroit Lions (6-4), in the hunt: The offense crashed back to earth Sunday night in Philly as the Lions crashed out of the playoff picture … for now. Remaining schedule: vs. Giants, vs. Packers, vs. Cowboys, at Rams, vs. Steelers, at Vikings, at Bears

AFC playoff picture

1. Denver Broncos (9-2), AFC West leaders: Sunday’s win over Kansas City gave them a chokehold on the AFC West throne the Chiefs have sat upon since 2016. It also moved the Broncos past the Patriots for the conference’s top spot − Denver’s record in AFC games (6-2) currently a half-game better than New England’s. Remaining schedule: BYE, at Commanders, at Raiders, vs. Packers, vs. Jaguars, at Chiefs, vs. Chargers

2. New England Patriots (9-2), AFC East leaders: The first team in the league to reach nine wins Thursday night, they’re in prime position to win the division for the first time since Tom Brady led them to first place in 2019 and maybe their first No. 1 playoff seed since 2017. Remaining schedule: at Bengals, vs. Giants, BYE, vs. Bills, at Ravens, at Jets, vs. Dolphins

3. Indianapolis Colts (8-2), AFC South leaders: The schedule was Charmin soft before their bye, but you can’t control whom you play. But the second-half lineup seems much less forgiving. Remaining schedule: at Chiefs, vs. Texans, at Jaguars, at Seahawks, vs. 49ers, vs. Jaguars, at Texans

4. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4), AFC North leaders: Only one game up on Baltimore for the division lead and now facing life without QB Aaron Rodgers. Remaining schedule: at Bears, vs. Bills, at Ravens, vs. Dolphins, at Lions, at Browns, vs. Ravens

5. Buffalo Bills (7-3), wild card No. 1: QB Josh Allen’s big game Sunday moved Buffalo up one spot in the seeding but got the Bills no closer to the AFC East lead. Tough game in Houston looms Thursday night. Remaining schedule: at Texans, at Steelers, vs. Bengals, at Patriots, at Browns, vs. Eagles, vs. Jets

6. Los Angeles Chargers (7-4), wild card No. 2: The week off arrives right on time for a battered team that was bludgeoned in Duval County on Sunday. Remaining schedule: BYE, vs. Raiders, vs. Eagles, at Chiefs, at Cowboys, vs. Texans, at Broncos

7. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-4), wild card No. 3: They continue to collect potentially critical head-to-head tiebreakers, Sunday’s defeat of the Bolts added to the Jags’ wins over the Chiefs. Remaining schedule: at Cardinals, at Titans, vs. Colts, vs. Jets, at Broncos, vs. Colts, at Titans

There are a lot of unwritten rules in hockey and New York Rangers goalie Jonathan Quick thought the Detroit Red Wings violated one.

That why’s Quick lost it and precipitated a major scrum at the end of the Red Wings’ 2-1 win against the Rangers on Sunday, Nov. 16.

The issue: Detroit’s Mason Appleton put the puck into the Rangers’ empty net after the final buzzer had sounded. Quick, who had been pulled for an extra skater, came off the bench and challenged Appleton.

‘The horn goes, a couple seconds, and he shoots at the net,’ said Quick, who made 40 saves in the loss. ‘I don’t know why they were surprised. That’s usually the response when something like that happens. Boys jumped in and did the right thing.’

A lot of pushing and shoving and some punches ensued. On-ice officials pushed Quick to the side and another kept Red Wings goalie Cam Talbot away from the fray.

The only penalties that were called were unsportsmanlike conduct against Quick and a 10-minute misconduct each against Quick and Appleton.

The Philadelphia Eagles rode a dominant defensive performance to a 16-9 win over the Detroit Lions in a Week 11 ‘Sunday Night Football’ clash between the NFC contenders.

Vic Fangio’s stop unit relentlessly pressured Jared Goff throughout Sunday’s contest. They sacked the veteran quarterback just twice, but he was hit often during the game, which clearly rattled him.

Goff completed a career-low 37.8% of his passes (14 of 37) for 255 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in the loss. The 31-year-old was sped up by the frequent pressure and never looked comfortable in the pocket.

But while Philadelphia’s defense starred, its offense continued to have its share of issues. The unit was under the microscope in Week 11 after A.J. Brown called it out in an appearance on a Twitch livestream following the team’s 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo made a concerted effort to get Brown more involved. He ended up leading the Eagles in targets (11), catches (7) and receiving yards (49) during the game.

However, the overall passing game continued to look lackluster, as Jalen Hurts completed just 14 of 28 passes for 135 yards. They had just one completion of 20-plus yards and simply aren’t the same explosive unit they were at times last season.

Perhaps Eagles fans can take some solace in knowing Saquon Barkley showed signs of life. He racked up 86 rushing yards, his third-most in a game this season, and had several nifty runs late in the game, including a game-winning 8-yard tote on the team’s penultimate offensive snap.

But Sirianni and Co. still have some work to do on that side of the ball, even as they lead the NFC with an 8-2 record 11 weeks into the 2025 NFL season.

USA TODAY Sports provided live updates, highlights and more from the matchup below. All times are Eastern.

Watch ‘Sunday Night Football’ with Fubo (free trial)

Eagles vs. Lions SNF instant takeaways

  • More involvement for A.J. Brown doesn’t fix the Eagles’ offense: Brown (seven catches, 49 yards) was far more involved against the Lions than he has been in recent weeks. Even so, Philadelphia struggled to sustain and finish drives, scoring just one touchdown and benefiting greatly from Detroit gifting it great field position on numerous occasions. Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo still have some work to do to get this unit figured out as the Eagles look to make another Super Bowl run.
  • The Eagles’ improved pass rush makes them a true contender: Philadelphia’s offense may have issues, but its defense is one of the best in the league. One of the big reasons for that? Vic Fangio has done a masterful job of compensating for the offseason losses of Milton Williams and Josh Sweat to rebuild the Eagles’ pass rush. The addition of Jaelan Phillips and the development of Moro Ojomo have played a significant role in Philadelphia maintaining a top-tier defensive line. If the Eagles can pressure opposing quarterbacks like they did Jared Goff, it will be hard to beat them during the postseason.
  • Dan Campbell’s aggressiveness is a double-edged sword: When Campbell’s aggressive fourth-down decision-making pays off, it gives the Lions a big-time edge. However, it can also be a hindrance on evenings where Detroit’s offense is out of whack. That was the case against the Eagles, as the Lions went 0 for 5 on fourth-down conversion attempts. Detroit’s inability to convert helped Philadelphia win the field position battle on a windy night. That proved critical in the low-scoring battle.
  • Jahmyr Gibbs is one of the NFL’s most electric playmakers: Gibbs was just about the Lions’ only bright spot during a lackluster offensive performance. The star running back ended up leading the team in receiving yards and ripped off a couple of lengthy gains on screen passes, during which he showed off his elite speed and change-of-direction abilities. Gibbs should continue to be a focal point of Detroit’s offense, as he remains a threat to go the distance every time he touches the ball.

Eagles vs. Lions highlights

Eagles vs. Lions final score: Eagles 16, Lions 9

Saquon Barkley runs for first down to seal Eagles win

The Eagles won’t allow the Lions to get the ball back. Barkley just crossed the line to gain on a third-down carry and Philadelphia will improve to 8-2 after a hard-fought defensive battle.

Rock Ya-Sin whistled for controversial pass interference call

The Eagles decided to throw the ball on third-and-8. Ya-Sin had tight coverage on A.J. Brown but was flagged for pass interference after hand fighting between the two players.

The Lions still have one timeout left, but the Eagles will be able to bleed most of the time remaining on the clock.

Eagles vs. Lions score: Jake Bates makes 54-yard field goal as 2-minute warning arrives

The Lions weren’t able to get a first down after stopping the Eagles, but Bates came on to attempt a 54-yard field goal. The former soccer player nailed it, cutting the Eagles’ lead to 16-9 with 1:58 left in regulation.

Detroit has all three timeouts remaining, so they will have to stop Philadelphia once to get the ball back.

Eagles 16, Lions 9

Lions have life after stopping ‘Tush Push’ in field goal range

The Eagles decided to try a ‘Tush Push’ on fourth-and-inches with three minutes left in regulation. The Lions managed to stop Jalen Hurts before he made the line to gain, giving Detroit the ball on the edge of field goal range.

The Lions have 2:57 and three timeouts remaining, trailing 16-6.

Lions, facing fourth-and-10, forced to punt with 5:06 remaining

The Lions got the ball close to midfield, but they stalled again when Goff couldn’t complete a pass under pressure. Dan Campbell opted not to go for it on fourth-and-10, so Detroit’s defense will need to get a stop quickly, trailing 16-6.

Eagles punt back to Lions with 6:14 left in regulation

The Eagles were able to run nearly three minutes off the clock, but they opted to punt after a false start on a ‘Tush Push’ attempt on fourth-and-inches. The Lions are trailing 16-6 and will need to get into scoring range quickly to have any chance at making the comeback.

Lions forced to punt after three consecutive incompletions

Jahmyr Gibbs managed to get a first down after handling a carry to open Detroit’s drive. After that, Goff tossed three consecutive incompletions as his struggles continued.

The Eagles nearly muffed Jack Fox’s punt after a blocker nearly crashed into the return man, but the ball ended up bouncing harmlessly out of bounds. Philadelphia will now look to grind some clock, leading 16-6 with 9:06 left in regulation.

Eagles vs. Lions score: Jake Elliott drills 49-yard field goal to give Philly two-score lead

The Eagles only gained 25 yards on an 11-play drive following the Lions’ latest fourth-down failure. Still, it was enough to get into range for Elliott, who managed to make a 49-yarder with ease while kicking with the wind.

Philadelphia now leads Detroit 16-6 with 10:15 remaining in regulation.

Eagles 16, Lions 6

Eagles leading Lions 13-6 entering fourth quarter

Detroit is outgaining Philadelphia 286-183 on the evening, as Jahmyr Gibbs has been a force through the air with five catches for 107 yards. 

The issue? The Lions haven’t been able to finish drives. Dan Campbell has been aggressive with his play-calling, but Detroit has failed to convert any of its five fourth-down attempts while Jared Goff was also responsible for an early-game interception.

Will things change in the fourth quarter? The Eagles will open the quarter facing a second-and-18, but the Lions’ issues haven’t been on defense. They will need to get a stop, but the offense has to find a way to get into the end-zone.

Jared Goff misfires again on fourth-and-3, turns ball over on downs

The Eagles have gotten a lot of pressure on Goff throughout the night. He appears to be rattled, as he has often misfired in key passing scenarios tonight.

That includes the Lions’ most recent fourth-down conversion attempt. Goff tried to connect with Amon-Ra St. Brown, but his throw wasn’t anywhere near his top receiver.

Detroit is now 0 for 5 on fourth-down conversions, but Dan Campbell seems likely to remain aggressive on a windy night in Philadelphia.

Eagles flip field but are forced to punt

The good news for the Eagles? They managed to get the ball to midfield after starting at their own 4-yard line. They got there after a big strike to Jahan Dotson and a personal foul penalty against Brian Branch.

After that, however, Philadelphia once again stalled out, with Jalen Hurts’ third-and-15 heave to A.J. Brown sailing well past the wide-out. Braden Mann came on to punt and the Lions will get the ball back on their own 15-yard line.

Lions can’t convert fourth-and-goal, as Jared Goff tosses incompletion

The Lions have now turned the ball over on downs four times. This time, Dan Campbell’s squad went for it on a fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line in a game they were trailing 13-6.

The Eagles were able to get pressure on Jared Goff, who fired a desperation heave in the direction of Amon-Ra St. Brown that fell harmlessly to the ground. Goff appeared to have tight end Brock Wright open on the right side of the field, but it wasn’t clear whether he saw him.

Detroit’s latest turnover came at the end of a promising drive that was led by Jahmyr Gibbs. The young back had a 42-yard gain on a screen pass and some tough runs between the tackles to get the Lions into scoring range.

Eagles whistled for false start on ‘Tush Push’

The Eagles were lining up to attempt the ‘Tush Push’ on third-and-1, but Tyler Steen was whistled for a false start. It appeared to be the incorrect call, as the Lions’ defender had his hand in the neutral zone and Steen reached down to touch it, which should have created a neutral zone infraction penalty.

Philadelphia was forced to punt after an incompletion on third-and-5, giving Detroit a chance to cut into the Eagles’ 13-6 lead.

Lions log third turnover on downs as Jared Goff can’t connect with Jameson Williams

The Lions found themselves in no man’s land, facing a fourth-and-5 on their first drive of the second half. Goff had Williams streaking open over the middle of the field, but the wide-out couldn’t bring in the pass, which came in a bit low but was catchable.

Amon-Ra St. Brown also had a potential first down glance off his hands on a third-down pass.

Lane Johnson injury update

The Eagles have ruled out their starting right tackle, Lane Johnson, for the remainder of Sunday’s game with a foot injury.

Eagles leading Lions 13-6 in back-and-forth first half

Both the Eagles and Lions started the game slowly on offense amid windy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field. Each offense started to pick up the pace late in the first half, as the two traded touchdowns to close the half.

The Lions have relied on their passing game to carry them, as Jared Goff has completed 7 of 12 passes for 119 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He struggled early to complete passes in the wind but was able to lay one up perfectly to Jameson Williams (two catches, 59 yards) for the team’s lone score.

Meanwhile, the Eagles have gotten the ball in Lions territory on three of their possessions, thanks to Goff’s interceptions and two turnovers on downs. Jalen Hurts has the team’s lone score – a 1-yard ‘Tush Push’ TD – while A.J. Brown (six catches, 43 yards) has been very involved in Philadelphia’s offense.

Detroit will get the ball to start the second half.

Eagles vs. Lions score: Eagles score on ‘Tush Push’ after Saquon Barkley ruled short

The Eagles appeared to get a score on a 5-yard Barkley run, but he was just inches short of the goal-line with 32 seconds left in the first half. That didn’t bother the Eagles too much, as Jalen Hurts simply powered the ball the last foot into the end zone.

Jake Elliott made the extra point, and Philadelphia leads 13-6 with 16 seconds left in the first half.

Eagles 13, Lions 6

Eagles vs. Lions score: Jared Goff hits Jameson Williams for 40-yard touchdown

The Lions are on the board with the game’s first touchdown. Goff found Williams breaking across the middle of the field and hit the speedster, who outran the Eagles’ defense for a score.

Williams was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for his celebration after scoring. Jake Bates missed the backed-up extra point amid a strong, left-to-right wind, keeping the score tied at 6-all with 5:05 left in the second quarter.

Eagles 6, Lions 6

Eagles vs. Lions score: Jake Elliott makes 34-yard field goal to extend Philly lead

This time, the Eagles capitalized on the Lions’ turnover on downs. Jalen Hurts hit A.J. Brown for a 10-yard gain on third-and-15 to set Elliott up with a makeable field goal.

Philadelphia originally bluffed as if it was going for it on fourth-and-5 but called a timeout and brought Elliott out. He made the 34-yard kick with ease to give the Eagles a 6-0 lead with 6:02 left in the first half.

Eagles sniff out Lions fake punt, come up with key stop

The Lions looked like they were going to go three-and-out after Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown couldn’t connect on a middle-of-the-field pass. However, Dan Campbell and Co. decided to fake a punt, and snapped the ball to personal protector Grant Stuard on a fourth-and-2.

The Eagles were able to come up with the stop, as Moro Ojomo and Jalyx Hunt were credited with making the stop. Philadelphia will once again have good field position, already at the Detroit 43-yard line.

Jalen Hurts throws three incompletions as Eagles go three-and-out

The Eagles could not take advantage of the great field position gifted to them by the Lions. Hurts was unable to connect with his receivers on three downfield shots, with his final pass intended for DeVonta Smith being broken up by Amik Robertson.

Braden Mann’s punt went just 28 yards in the wind. Kalif Raymond fair caught it but a 15-yard penalty on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. of the Eagles gifted the Lions extra yardage. As a result, Philadelphia only netted 13 yards of field position from the punt.

Jahmyr Gibbs stopped short of line on fourth-and-1 carry

The Lions decided to go for it on fourth-and-1 near midfield but Gibbs was stonewalled by Eagles defensive tackle Moro Ojomo. Philadelphia now gets the ball back in excellent field position at Detroit’s 48-yard line, looking to build upon its 3-0 lead.

DeVonta Smith can’t handle third-and-8 pass, forcing punt

The Eagles continue to struggle to move the ball offensively. Jalen Hurts tried to hit Smith just short of the sticks on a third-and-8 to open the second quarter, but the top wide-out was unable to reel in the pass.

Braden Mann’s punt traveled 44 yards and Detroit will get the ball back on its 39-yard line.

Eagles leading Lions 3-0 after first quarter

Neither Philadelphia nor Detroit was able to build much rhythm on offense in the first half. Both teams appear to be adjusting to the windy conditions in Philadelphia, as the two teams combined for just 98 yards of offense.

The Eagles’ lone scoring drive was set up by a Jared Goff interception that was deflected at the line of scrimmage. Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts also appear to be making a concerted effort to get A.J. Brown the ball, as he was targeted four times on Hurts’ seven passing attempts in the opening frame.

Lions punt after stalling out beyond midfield

The Lions got near the edge of Jake Bates’ field goal range, but given the windy conditions, the team decided not to attempt the kick. Instead, Detroit bluffed going for it on a fourth-and-6 but ultimately took a delay of game and punted.

Jack Fox’s punt went 30 yards and was fair caught by the Eagles at their 15-yard line.

Lane Johnson injury update

The Eagles announced that Johnson, their starting right tackle, is ‘questionable’ to return to Sunday’s game because of a foot injury.

The NBC broadcast showed Johnson walking slowly to the Eagles’ locker room during the first quarter. Fred Johnson would likely replace Johnson at right tackle if he’s unable to return.

Eagles pass on ‘Tush Push’ opportunity, stuffed on third down

The Eagles were facing a third-and-1 on their most recent drive, and almost everyone assumed they would run their ‘Tush Push’ play. Instead, the team ran the ball up the middle with Saquon Barkley but saw him get stuffed for a 1-yard loss.

Philadelphia had to punt after losing a yard. Braden Mann’s kick once again pinned Detroit inside its own 15-yard line.

Lions go three-and-out on second possession as Jaelan Phillips gets sack

Phillips was Philadelphia’s prized trade deadline acquisition, and he is immediately making an impact for the team. He quickly got pressure on Jared Goff during the Lions’ second drive and managed to bring down the quarterback for a sack.

Goff couldn’t convert on a third-and-long pass that fell short of his intended receiver, so Detroit punted the ball back to Philadelphia.

Eagles vs. Lions score: Jake Elliott makes 27-yard field goal to open scoring

The Eagles are on the board first for ‘Sunday Night Football.’ They weren’t able to turn Jared Goff’s turnover into a touchdown, as Rock Ya-Sin had nice coverage on A.J. Brown on a third-and-8 to force the fourth-and-long, but Elliott was able to make the chip shot without a problem despite windy conditions.

Philadelphia now leads 3-0 early in the first quarter.

Eagles 3, Lions 0

Jared Goff pass deflected, intercepted by Cooper DeJean

Goff completed a couple of horizontal passes to open the game, but his third pass was deflected at the line of scrimmage. It popped into the air and into the waiting arms of DeJean, who brought it inside the red zone to set up a quality scoring chance for the Eagles.

Lions force Eagles punt after holding penalty

The Eagles got on first down on their opening drive, but they stalled out after that, thanks, in part, to a first-down holding penalty.

Braden Mann’s punt was fielded by Kalif Raymond at Detroit’s 15-yard line, which is about where Detroit will start its first offensive drive.

A.J. Brown applauded after catching first down to open game

Brown made headlines ahead of Week 11 after calling upon the Eagles’ offense to perform better. He also has been vocal about wanting to be more involved, as he is on pace for a career-worst season, so the Philly crowd gave him a rousing cheer after Jalen Hurts hit him for a first down on the Eagles’ first drive of the game.

Eagles vs. Lions prediction

The Eagles have to figure out the A.J. Brown situation, and fast. While Philadelphia has gotten to a 7-2 record without solving that equation just yet, Brown’s apparent disdain of the offense has made somewhat unwanted headlines and back pages throughout the season. The Lions will get the big-time road win and stay atop the NFC North.

  • The Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 22-19 with a last-second field goal.
  • This victory marked the Broncos’ eighth consecutive win and extended their lead in the AFC West.
  • Denver’s win was their fifth fourth-quarter comeback of the season.
  • The Chiefs, now 5-5, have lost all five of their one-score games this season.

DENVER – They’ve done it again.

This time, the Denver Broncos comeback victory came with an added layer of purpose: They slayed the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Broncos hung one on their arch AFC West rival, 22-19, winning with a 35-yard Wil Lutz field goal as time expired in a thriller at Invesco Field. The kick, Lutz’s fifth field goal, was set up by a 32-yard completion to Troy Franklin in the final minute.

Oh, my.

The result, which was Denver’s eighth consecutive win and fifth seized with a fourth-quarter comeback, gave the Broncos (9-2) a commanding lead in the division while putting the Chiefs (5-5) further in jeopardy of not making the playoffs.

And no, there was no counter-magic coming from Patrick Mahomes.

The Chiefs took a 19-16 lead early in the fourth quarter with Mahomes’ 21-yard touchdown pass to Travis Kelce, but the Broncos rode the back of their vaunted defense to give them a chance in crunch time.

Denver thwarted Kansas City’s final two drives, which sandwiched a 54-yard try from Lutz.

Broncos keep winning one-score games, once a Chiefs trademark

The ending followed what has become a familiar script. The Broncos are now 7-2 in one-score games – which used to be a Chiefs trademark.

Consider how it’s flipped, along with the prospects of Kansas City winning a 10th consecutive division crown. The Chiefs are 0-5 in one-score game this season.

Last season, in advancing to their third consecutive Super Bowl, the Chiefs were 11-0 in one-score games and set an NFL record with 17 consecutive victories in one-score games.

The latest close call, though, stings more than most – and not only because the Chiefs’ chances of rallying to repeat as division champs are slipping away.

Is it time to believe in the Broncos?

It was a legitimate question, despite the winning streak. The offense has struggled. The Broncos have been hit by key injuries. And until now, there was still the Chiefs monster.

Ironically, Lutz’s winning kick came from the same distance as the kick in Kansas City in November last year, which was blocked as time expired to preserve a KC win.

But times have changed.

And with a 3½ game lead on the Chiefs, the Broncos are forcing us to believe.

INGLEWOOD, CA — In a league dominated by offense, defense is still the recipe for success.

The 8-2 Los Angeles Rams defense had Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold playing as if he was seeing ghosts in a 21-19 win. The Rams victory gave them sole possession of first place in the NFC West, with Seattle trailing at 7-3.

“I feel like we did our thing. The D-line was able to get after him (and) our DBs was able to make the plays that came their way,” Rams outside linebacker Jared Verse said.

Darnold threw an interception on the Seahawks’ third offensive play. The pick typified the entire performance for the quarterback, as Darnold tossed four interceptions during Seattle’s loss. It marked Darnold’s third four-interception game and the first time he’d thrown four picks since the 2019 season.

“That’s our main goal, taking the ball away. Defense wins championships. I feel like we got that mentality,” Rams cornerback Cobie Durant, who had one of the team’s four interceptions, said postgame.

Even with Darnold’s interception issues, the Seahawks stayed within striking distance thanks to a solid performance from their defensive unit. Darnold and the Seahawks had an opportunity for a game-winning drive on their final possession. Seattle drove the football up to Los Angeles’ 43-yard line with one second remaining, but Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was unable to connect on a desperation 61-yard field goal.

In addition to the Rams’ four takeaways, the defensive unit held Seattle to 1-for-4 in the red zone, 7-of-16 on third downs, five field goal attempts and gave up only one touchdown despite the Seahawks possessing the football for nearly 38 minutes.  

Coming into Sunday’s contest, Seattle was averaging 30 points per game.

“I can’t say enough about what a great job our defense did to be able to get four interceptions,” Rams coach Sean McVay. “This is a resilient group. Love what I saw from our defense.”

With MVP candidate Stafford held in check, Rams bank on stops

The Rams came into Week 11 with one of the top offenses in the league. Quarterback Matthew Stafford is an MVP candidate. Yet Stafford and the Rams offense were largely contained.

Stafford passed for 130 yards and two touchdowns. One of Stafford’s touchdown passes went to wide receiver Davante Adams, who recorded his league-leading 10th touchdown reception on his 1,000th career catch. He became the fifth wide receiver in NFL history with 1,000 receptions in their first 12 seasons on the play.

But there were few highlights from a Rams offense that punted six times and went 2-11 on third downs.

“Total team effort. Our defense played outstanding. Turning the ball over a bunch of times. Great in the red zone. I thought our special teams was great,” Stafford said. “There are definitely things we can clean up here and there, but we battled … We found a way to win without playing perfect football against a really good football team.”

The victory should give the Rams a jolt of confidence. Not only are they in first place in the division, but they defeated a good Seahawks club without playing their best brand off football offensively.

Adams only had one catch. Wide receiver Puka Nacua registered seven catches for 75 yards – an average game by his standards. And Stafford was contained.

Yet, the Rams found a way to win behind a suburb defensive performance. Good teams find ways to win even if they don’t perform at their peak.

KEARNS, Utah — The scary thing is, Jordan Stolz can get better.

The American phenom won the 500 and 1,500 meters Saturday and flirted with a world record for the second time in his first three races. Stolz’s time of 1:40.48 in the 1,500 meters was just 0.31 seconds off the record set in 2019 by Kjeld Nuis of the Netherlands, who he was paired with for the race.

‘I think I can still make a lot of improvements, so that’s good,’ said Stolz, who is now 3-for-3 in this season-opening World Cup, with two more races Sunday. ‘I have a lead right now and I think that lead can get bigger. But I also expect them to get better, too. So it’s kind of a toss up.

‘But I’m happy with where it’s at.’

Erin Jackson also made the podium, finishing second in the first 500-meter race. Brittany Bowe had the lead in the 1,500 meters until the last lap before finishing sixth.

‘It’s a really good feeling going into the rest of the season. Mainly, I feel really good about the way my back feels,’ said Jackson, who has struggled with back issues since winning gold in the 500 meters at the Beijing Olympics.

‘The (time trial) last week was my first race where I didn’t have to worry about my back in three years,’ Jackson said. ‘It was an amazing feeling, so I’m really, really excited.’

That Stolz has three wins in his first three races so far isn’t a surprise. He won all three distances at the world championships in both 2023 and 2024, and was the overall winner in the 500, 1,000 and 1,500 meters last season.

He also swept all his races at five of the last seven World Cups, going back to the 2023-24 season.

Stolz will be favored to win gold at all three distances at the Milano Cortina Olympics. Should he do that, he would join Eric Heiden as the only Americans to win three or more gold medals at a single Winter Games. Heiden famously won all five of his races at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid.

Stolz also would be the first male speed skater to win three or more medals at a single games since Heiden.

But while Stolz doesn’t get caught up in the expectations on him, he does recognize he is now the skater everyone wants to beat.

Stolz had thought a world record in the 1,500 might be possible. But he’s not in peak shape yet and he’d won the 500 about an hour earlier, and he found himself trailing Nuis heading into the final lap.

‘When he was a little bit ahead of me going to the last lap, it was a little bit of a worry,’ Stolz said.

Stolz closed with a fury, however. With the crowd roaring as he came down the final straightaway, Stolz shot ahead. He wound up bettering his previous best time by 0.39 seconds.

‘I’m just pushing as hard as I possibly can,’ Stolz said of his close.

And just like in the 1,000 meters, where he just missed matching his own world record, Stolz was closer to the record than his competitors were to him. Ning Zhongyan of China was second, 0.54 seconds behind Stolz, and Germany’s Finn Sonnekalb was third.

In the 500 meters, his first race Saturday, Stolz was paired with Damien Żurek of Poland, who was second to the American in the 1,000 meters Friday night. Żurek kept the race close, but Stolz edged him at the finish line.

His time of 33.88 was just 0.02 seconds ahead of Żurek. Gao Tingyu of China was third at 33.93 seconds.

‘I was training leading up to this competition, so it’s not like I was super prepared,’ Stolz said. ‘So I’m really happy with the results I did, being the condition that I’m in right now.’
