Thursday Night: Steelers 18 - Patriots 21
Let's take a look into the NFL's Week 14 Thursday Night and Sunday early window matchups. Starting with our Thursday night showdown between the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bears 28 - Lions 13
The Chicago Bears pulled off a shocking upset to the NFC North Division leading Detroit Lions. The Bears were led by the dynamic duo of Justin Fields and DJ Moore, while the other quarterback wide receiver duo of Jared Goff and Amon Ra St. Brown had a lackluster outing.
Bengals 34 - Colts 14

Ravens 37 - Rams 31
