Trailing early and having lost their last two games, the Green Bay Packers could have been in real trouble when quarterback Jordan Love took a big hit to his left shoulder and jogged inside for further evaluation.

Love returned from the injury to throw two touchdown passes, Malik Willis had one of his own while filling in and the Packers ended their skid by defeating the New York Giants 27-20 on Sunday.

Love provided some heroics on the go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter, finding Christian Watson in the end zone with 4:02 left to take the lead. Love completed 13 of 24 passes for 173 yards.

The defense that had been a strength in recent weeks allowed a first-quarter touchdown for the first time this season and could not stop Jameis Winston and the Giants from going on a 15-play, 85-yard scoring drive to go up 20-19.

With Winston making his first start in 11 months and Mike Kafka debuting as interim coach after the firing of Brian Daboll, the Giants (2-9) lost their fifth game in a row despite two touchdown runs from Devin Singletary and a QB sneak touchdown by Winston. The Giant QB was 19 of 29 for 201 yards and lost a fumble on the final play.

It’s the end of an error in New Jersey. The New York Football Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll, after yet another inexcusable loss — this time to the Chicago Bears. 

What were the odds of losing games in which the Giants had leads against the Cowboys, Saints, Broncos, and Bears? It proved to be Daboll’s undoing Monday.

After the Giants loss to Denver — in which the team blew a lead in the closing minutes — reports swirled that team owner John Mara wanted to fire Daboll then. But reportedly cooler heads prevailed at that time, and the coach’s job was spared. Yet another loss of that same variety was too much and Daboll was sent packing.

The New York Giants looked ready to snap their three-game losing streak in snowy conditions at Soldier Field on Sunday, but a fourth-quarter rally from the Chicago Bears turned a promising afternoon into another heartbreak. The Bears scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes to defeat the Giants, 24–20.

The Giants led 17-7 late in the third quarter and 17-10 entering the fourth quarter but could not hang on.

Veteran Russell Wilson took over but couldn’t sustain the offense, and Chicago took advantage. Caleb Williams led back-to-back touchdown drives late in the fourth, including a 2-yard pass to Rome Odunze and a 17-yard scramble to the end zone that gave the Bears their first lead since the opening quarter.

The Giants’ final drive stalled near midfield, sealing their fourth straight loss and dropping them to 2–8 on the season. The Bears are 6-3.

The New York Jets got touchdowns on a kickoff return and a punt return in the same game for the first time in franchise history, Breece Hall took a screen pass from Justin Fields 42 yards for the go-ahead score and the Jets held on to defeat the Cleveland Browns 27-20 on a rainy Sunday.

Five days after trading cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams in stunning moves, the Jets (2-7) came off their bye-week break to win their second game in a row.

Kene Nwangwu returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and moments later, Isaiah Williams brought back a punt 74 yards for a score. 

With the Jets leading 27-20, Fields scrambled on third-and-16 and Devin Bush was called for holding, giving New York a first down with 1:50 left at its 44.

Hall ran three times and the Jets lined up on fourth down to let the play clock run down before planning to call a timeout and punt, but Cleveland’s Cameron Thomas jumped — and New York had a fresh set of downs and the victory.

QB Fields, who started again after seeming to have a tenuous hold on the job, was only 6 of 11 for 54 yards with the TD to Hall and his first interception of the season.

The San Francisco 49ers fought their way to another victory, beating the New York Giants 34-24 on the road to improve to 6-3 and remain firmly in the NFC West race.

San Francisco came in with depth concerns along the defensive line and without Brock Purdy once again. And things looked on edge early, as the Giants had an early 10-play, 64-yard touchdown drive. That marked the second straight game the 49ers defense gave up an opening drive touchdown after not having one for the entire season before that.

But, the 49ers recovered after that with a strong start from Mac Jones, taking a 17-7 halftime lead before cruising in the second half en route to a blowout victory.

Christian McCaffrey eclipsed 100 yards rushing for the second time this season, while totaling over 170 yards and two touchdowns on the day.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champions.

The Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-4, in extra innings during Game 7 of the 2025 World Series at Rogers Centre. Catcher Will Smith hit a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to break a 4-4 tie.

Yoshibobu Yamamoto earned the win in relief, pitching 2.2 innings and recording one strikeout, forcing a double play to end the game. Yamamoto earned wins in three of the Dodgers’ four World Series victories, having started Games 2 and 6 and pitched a total of 17.2 innings with two earned runs, 15 strikeouts and 10 hits allowed to earn the 2026 World Series Most Valuable Player award.

The Dodgers rallied back from a 4-1 deficit in the eighth inning to score three unanswered runs, with Max Muncy homering in the eighth to cut the deficit to 4-3 and Miguel Rojas tying the game with a solo home run in the top of the ninth. The Dodgers became the first back-to-back World Series champions since the New York Yankees won their third consecutive title in 2000.

Los Angeles entered the World Series with one postseason loss, which came in the National League Divisional Series, having swept the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series last month. The Dodgers finished the 2025 regular season with a 93-69 record, having won their fourth consecutive National League West Division title and fifth in six years.

The New York Giants’ defense stumbled, as the Philadelphia Eagles rolled to a 38-20 win on Sunday afternoon.

— It was a scary scene in the second quarter, when Giants rookie sensation Cam Skattebo was carted off the field after suffering a gruesome ankle injury. He was later officially ruled out with an ankle injury, casting a major blow to the Giants’ offense.

— A pivotal moment came in the second quarter. With the game tied 7-7, the Eagles deployed their patented Tush Push to pick up the first down. As Jalen Hurts extended the ball forward, Kayvon Thibodeaux ripped it out for what should have been a Giants fumble recovery. However,forward progress was called, stopping the play and making the fumble not challenge-able. 

— Dart didn’t have a spectacular game, but he didn’t make any costly mistakes either. The Eagles defense got to him for 5.0 sacks, and Dart ended up throwing for 193 yards and a touchdown, while adding another touchdown on the ground.
