On Sunday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs will hit the field on the road against the Denver Broncos, looking to push their record to 6-4 on the 2025 NFL season and stay alive in the AFC West divisional race. The Chiefs are coming off of a bye week on the heels of their recent loss to the Buffalo Bills, and Patrick Mahomes and company would certainly like to turn things around after that poor performance. Overall, it’s been an up and down year for the Chiefs thus far, and recently, FS1 sports media personality Colin Cowherd took to the airwaves to describe why he thinks Kansas City’s dynastic years may be behind them. “Andy Reid and Mahomes may win another Super Bowl. But going to the AFC Championship every year, going to the Super Bowl every year, that’s done,” said Cowherd, via Herd w/Colin Cowherd on X, formerly Twitter. Reid and Mahomes have made it to at least the AFC Championship Game in every year since Mahomes took over as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback all the way back in 2018, and they’ve won three Super Bowls in that span, making it to five in total. This year has been the most inconsistent in terms of regular season play on the field thus far of the Mahomes era, but the Chiefs have still shown an ability over the years to turn things up when they absolutely need to and overwhelm opponents in the biggest moments. They’ll be looking to do just that this weekend against a Broncos team that sits at 8-2 but has many doubting their legitimacy, considering the way they’ve struggled to beat bad teams so far this year. In any case, the Chiefs and Broncos are slated to kick things off on Sunday at 4:25 PM ET from Denver.

The Los Angeles Rams have a big matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11, as the winner will take the lead in the NFC West standings. Leading up to the contest, there have been some injury concerns regarding L.A.’s wide receiver Davante Adams and defensive tackle Kobie Turner. On Friday, the organization got some clarity on both players. Reports indicate that both Adams and Turner are questionable for the game against the Seahawks. However, head coach Sean McVay claims that he expects them to be available come Sunday, according to Adam Grosbard of L.A. Daily News. “Rams WR Davante Adams and DT Kobie Turner will be listed as questionable for Sunday, but Sean McVay says he expects both to play. Both will be limited in practice today. McVay said Turner’s back issue is about managing soreness.” Adams, who is 32 years old, is dealing with an oblique injury that the Rams’ star suffered in the 42-26 Week 10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He did not participate in Wednesday’s practice, but was a limited participant on Thursday. From the sounds of it, he should be good to go in Week 11. The 12-year pro has recorded 42 receptions for 568 yards and nine touchdowns (leads NFL) in the 2025-26 campaign. As for Turner, the 26-year-old defensive lineman is dealing with a back injury that he allegedly sustained in the game against the 49ers. He has not participated in any practices. But McVay’s claim that Kobie Turner is simply managing soreness indicates the issue is not serious and that he should be available to play. Turner has accumulated 21 combined tackles (nine solo), six quarterback hits, 1.5 sacks, and a pass deflection this season. Overall, this is great news for a Rams team aiming to advance to an 8-2 record. The game against the Seahawks will be the ultimate test, as Seattle has played lights out as of late.

Despite losing its last two games, Miami (Ohio) still has a chance at capturing a MAC championship this season. Unfortunately, that ailing pursuit will take place without Dequan Finn under center. The starting quarterback will forgo the rest of his redshirt senior campaign and focus on preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft, per On3’s Pete Nakos. RedHawks head coach Chuck Martin revealed the news on Friday, bringing disappointment to a fan base that is hoping the team can find a way into its third straight conference title game. Perhaps that goal will still be attainable with Henry Hesson manning QB duties moving forward. Veering off course in favor of NFL aspirations is an aspect of collegiate athletics that most people accept, or at least tolerate, but Finn’s decision to step away is surprising. While it is important to stay healthy ahead of the NFL Draft process, the Toledo and Baylor transfer could have potentially benefited by leading Miami (OH) to a strong finish. He concludes his RedHawks tenure with rather lackluster numbers that include a 58.6 completion percentage, 1,451 passing yards, 13 total touchdowns and six interceptions in eight games. Finn hopes his mobility, which is reflected through the 395 rushing yards he accumulated in 2025, can launch him into the NFL. He boasts plenty of experience, having logged 56 FBS games during his career. The 6-foot-2 QB also has some credentials, winning MAC MVP honors after leading Toledo to the conference championship matchup in 2023. After throwing for 8,841 yards and 75 TDs, and also racking up 2,302 yards and 31 TDs on the ground, Dequan Finn is determined to force his way into the NFL. He will get himself ready for the crucial months that lie ahead. The post Miami Ohio quarterback cuts season short for NFL Draft preparation appeared first on ClutchPoints.

As the Los Angeles Lakers continue their five-game road trip, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin delivered the most encouraging update yet on LeBron James’ recovery from a sciatica injury that has sidelined him since training camp. With the Lakers (8-4) set to face the New Orleans Pelicans (2-9) on Friday as part of their NBA Cup schedule, signs point toward James nearing his long-awaited season debut. McMenamin reported Friday on NBA Today that James has reached a significant milestone in his rehab progression. “As big as the news was on Wednesday that LeBron played five-on-five for the first time in nearly six months since the playoffs against Minnesota,” McMenamin said, “Thursday was even bigger because he was able to get through the practice. I’m told by multiple sources he was a full participant. They did five-on-five drills, and he was able to move without any lingering pain in his lower back or his right side.” According to McMenamin, the Lakers are now monitoring how James responds to the increased workload over the coming days. With the team returning from its road trip early next week, James could be in position to take part in a full practice with the main roster on Monday. From there, the possibility of an in-season return becomes more realistic. “We’re in the timing now where we can be looking at the schedule next week and say, ‘Hey, that could be the game where we see LeBron James making his season debut.'”@mcten shares an update with @malika_andrews on LeBron’s potential regular season start with the Lakers. pic.twitter.com/YdCQCm3ZkS — NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) November 14, 2025 “If he continues to have this progression,” McMenamin said, “there’s a game on Tuesday… we’re in the timing now where we could be looking at the schedule next week and say hey, that could be the game where we see LeBron James making his season debut.” LeBron James nears historic 23rd-season debut as Lakers monitor his progress Jason Parkhurst-Imagn Images If James does return next week, he will immediately make league history as the first NBA player ever to appear in a 23rd season. James has been out since early October with nerve irritation stemming from a sciatica issue, an injury that delayed his start to what would have been his record-setting season. Even in his 22nd year last season, the 40-year-old remained one of the league’s most productive players. He averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and one steal per game while shooting 51.3 percent from the field and 37.6 percent from beyond the arc across 70 appearances. His eventual return would give the Lakers a major boost alongside stars Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, who have kept Los Angeles in the upper tier of the Western Conference standings despite James’ absence. The Lakers enter Friday’s matchup with the Pelicans at 8-4, riding a strong start powered by Doncic’s MVP-level production and Reaves’ breakout scoring stretch. Los Angeles continues its road trip Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET before returning home next week — a stretch that may finally feature the long-awaited return of one of the game’s greatest players.
