The NFL’s first Black Friday game: The league goes big on Thanksgiving this year with three games followed by the first ever Black Friday game. While planners undoubtedly anticipated a bigger matchup between the Dolphins and Jets before Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury during the team’s first game of the 2023 season, the NFL still has high hopes that expanding coverage on Black Friday will also extend the ratings.
Hello, my name is Joshua Dobbs. If you follow the Cleveland Browns, you’ll recall that the team’s training camp backup quarterback was 28-year-old journeyman QB Joshua Dobbs. The Browns traded Dobbs to the Arizona Cardinals in August, where he was the team’s starter while franchise QB Kyler Murray recovered from injury. On October 31, Dobbs was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. Six days later, he was on the field after the Vikings starter left the game with a concussion. Dobbs led the Vikings to a victory over the Atlanta Falcons despite not practicing or learning the names of his teammates. Dobbs became the first quarterback in NFL history with consecutive three touchdown games for different teams and continues to start for the Vikings.
Good morning, Baltimore. Many hours of NFL sportscasts in recent years have been devoted to arguing the talent (or lack thereof) of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Lamar has always been a dynamic player, but pundits (and Bengals fans) like to argue that Lamar moves the ball too often. The Ravens are 8-3 coming into Week 12 and MVP chants have followed Lamar (again) every step of the way. Jackson has five rushing touchdowns this season, which has no doubt fueled the fire.
