NFL week 12 began on Thanksgiving with the traditional Lions’ Steve Longa on the field against Minnesota. It was a good game that remained close to the bitter end when the Vikings triumphed 30-23. The difference in the game was Detroit’s inability to run the ball and their two turnovers. Longa added one tackle in the game as Detroit has fallen three games back of the Vikings in the NFC North and lost ground for the wild card as well.
Mohamed Sanu and the Falcons kept rolling to maintain their 6th seed if the NFC playoffs were to start today.
