The St Louis Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals will clash at the Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio on Sunday as Week 12 of the NFL 2015 regular season continues. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the Fox network, or online through live stream via the link below.
Three straight losses have badly undermined the Rams push for the Playoffs. They have fallen to 4-6 and another loss today would see their chances of making the postseason be all but extinguished.
They face a Bengals team that was having an extraordinary season, but has now slipped to two straight defeats, and a third loss today would drop them to 8-3 and would start to threaten their division title hopes - something unthinkable at the start of November.
Cincinnati had a four game advantage over the Pittsburgh Steelers just weeks ago in the AFC North, but after the Bengals downturn in form, and with the Steelers moving to 6-4, there is a real chance that Pittsburgh could catch the Bengals, especially with the pair facing off on December 13.
Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson said, "The best football starts getting played now in November and December and January. You have to get hot. You have to catch your groove back again so that you can be one of those teams that can be hitting the stride at the right time."
Earlier this week, Thanksgiving Day saw three big games take place on Thursday. The first game was between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions, although in essence only one of the teams seemed to turn up as the Lions routed the Eagles 45-14.
Michael Stafford managed to claim a career high five touchdown passes, with three of them going to Calvin Johnson, as the Lions claimed their third straight win.
Oppositely, the Eagles fell to a third straight loss, and the result left both teams on 4-7 and with little chance of either making the postseason.
In the second of three games to take place on Thursday, the Carolina Panthers continued to make their case that they could potentially end the regular season with a perfect record, with a 33-14 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Apart from the result, the big news from Arlington, Texas on Thursday was that Tony Romo is now likely out for the rest of the season with the same injury that had kept him out for seven straight games this season.
Romo has tried his best to make an impact, insisting on coming back earlier than some may have advised, however, on Thursday he gave up three interceptions with two of them being returned for touchdowns.
Later, the Cowboys' star quarterback injured the same left collarbone that had kept him out for seven games, and the latest loss leaves the Cowboys on 3-8 and all but out of the reckoning for the Playoff spots.
Meanwhile, the Panthers became just the 16th NFL team ever to start the season 11-0 on their Thanksgiving debut.
The final game of the day say the Chicago Bears pull off a stunning upset to defeat the Green Bay Packers 17-13. Jay Cutler threw for 200 yards and a touchdown to help his team over the line.
The game went right down to the wire with the Packers on fourth and goal from the eight yard line with just 22 seconds to go. However, they were unable to convert and that left the Bears celebrating a memorable victory.
The result means the Bears have won three of their last four games to move them to 5-6, and if they can continue this good run of form they may still be able to sneak a Playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Packers fall to 7-4 with their second straight loss at Lambeau, and their downturn in form will continue to worry those in Green Bay.
