NFL Week 12 Recap: Lions Injury Woes, Kickoff Rule Controversy, Texans Upset Bills in Thrilling Defensive Battle
Update: 2025-11-24
Description
Football fans want to know the latest on injuries, rule changes, team performances, and standout players. The NFL season is heating up with several key developments. Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is facing a slim chance of returning this season due to a back injury, according to NFL.com. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos have extended kicker Wil Lutz, securing their special teams for the future.
The league’s new kickoff rules, known as the Dynamic Kickoff, have sparked controversy. President Trump has been vocal in his criticism, calling the changes “demeaning” and “unromantic,” and even labeling the game “sissy” football. Kansas City Chiefs assistant head coach Dave Toub responded by saying Trump “has no idea what’s going on with the kickoff rule,” noting the rule was designed to encourage more returns and reduce injuries. The NFL reports that kick returns have more than doubled this season, and head injuries are down nearly 43 percent, though overall injuries have increased slightly.
On the field, the Houston Texans defense dominated the Buffalo Bills, smothering quarterback Josh Allen and securing a 23-19 victory. Davis Mills led the Texans to a win, while Bills fans are left wondering how their team can overcome their playoff hump. The Eagles continue to win games, but there’s growing unrest in the locker room, especially after A.J. Brown’s recent comments. The team’s morale is under scrutiny as they defend their Super Bowl title.
The Carolina Panthers and New York Jets are making headlines as the NFL trade deadline approaches, with rumors swirling about potential moves. The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a dramatic comeback, thanks to a last-play field goal by Brandon Aubrey. The Patriots and Bengals faced off in a high-stakes Week 12 matchup, with the Bengals expecting to have Ja’Marr Chase and possibly Joe Burrow back for their next game, though Tee Higgins is likely out.
Packers players are participating in the NFL’s “My Cause My Cleats” initiative, wearing customized cleats to raise awareness for causes they support. This league-wide effort highlights the personal side of the players and their commitment to making a difference.
The playoff picture is taking shape. The Baltimore Ravens have moved into the No. 4 seed in the AFC, while the Eagles lost their grip on the top spot in the NFC after a stumble in Dallas. The Chiefs and Colts are set for a crucial AFC matchup, with playoff implications on the line. The Buccaneers and Rams face off in a Sunday Night Football showdown, with Baker Mayfield returning to Los Angeles.
For fans looking ahead, the Falcons and Saints meet in a rivalry game with pride on the line, while the Vikings and Packers renew their NFC North battle. The Jaguars and Cardinals clash in Phoenix, and the Browns and Raiders face off with Shedeur Sanders making his first start.
Football fans are also following the latest on player injuries and returns. The Cowboys quarterback has surpassed Tony Romo’s career passing yards, and the Falcons are hoping to end a five-game losing streak.
