Pro Merch’s NFL Thanksgiving Thrillers and a Black Friday Showdown Headline a Massive Holiday Weekend in Football

The holiday season delivered peak NFL drama this year, and Pro Merch is breaking down every moment from Thanksgiving Day’s slate of close-call finishes to today’s marquee Black Friday matchup. Fans across the country spent the holiday surrounded by food, family, and football—and with rivalry energy running sky-high, all three Thanksgiving games came down to one-score margins. As we roll into Black Friday, the action is far from over, and for fans gearing up for the playoff push, it’s the perfect moment to explore the latest officially licensed NFL gear available through Pro Merch’s NFL collection.

Thanksgiving Recap: Three Games, Three Nail-Biters

The Packers opened the day by delivering a statement win at Ford Field, knocking off the division-leading Lions 31–24 in a game that showcased Green Bay’s growing offensive rhythm. Detroit fought hard but couldn’t slow a late Packers surge, giving the NFC North race a jolt heading into December.

In the nationally spotlighted afternoon matchup, the Dallas Cowboys held off the Kansas City Chiefs 31–28. The game felt like a preview of postseason intensity—explosive drives, quick momentum swings, and defensive stands that turned the tide in the closing minutes. With Dallas protecting home turf on Thanksgiving once again, the Cowboys continued to strengthen their grip as one of the NFC’s most dangerous contenders.

The night game delivered the biggest surprise of the day. The Cincinnati Bengals exploded for 32 points and stunned the Baltimore Ravens 32–14. Cincinnati’s defensive unit controlled the game from start to finish, while the Bengals’ offense found its stride against one of the AFC’s top defenses. For Baltimore, the loss raises new questions in an otherwise strong season, while Cincinnati walks away with huge momentum at exactly the right time of year.

Black Friday Spotlight: Bears vs. Eagles in a High-Stakes NFC Clash

The NFL’s newest holiday tradition—its third annual Black Friday game—continues this afternoon with a heavyweight NFC matchup at Lincoln Financial Field. The Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles, both entering the day at 8–3 and sitting atop their divisions, are battling not just for a win, but for positioning in the race for the No. 1 seed.

As of 5:13 p.m. EST, the game is deep into the third quarter with Chicago holding a narrow 10–9 lead. With both offenses showing respect for each other’s defensive firepower, the game has become a gritty, tightly contested chess match. One score could swing playoff implications across the conference, and fans tuning in on Amazon Prime Video are witnessing the kind of tension and postseason-caliber strategy typically reserved for January.

Philadelphia’s home crowd has been electric, but Chicago’s defense has stepped up in key moments, keeping the Eagles’ offense in check. With the game still very much undecided, every possession in the fourth quarter will matter—and it could set the tone for the final month of the NFC playoff chase.

Gear Up for the Stretch Run with Pro Merch

This Pro Merch Report highlights the biggest headlines and upcoming action across sports today. From high-stakes NBA Cup games to historic winning streaks and Hall of Fame updates, there’s never been a better time to be a sports fan—and to gear up with Pro Merch.

The NBA Cup is back, entering its third thrilling year as the league’s in-season tournament that injects early-season intensity and stakes into the regular NBA calendar. Formerly called the In-Season Tournament, the NBA Cup now offers teams not only bragging rights but also prize money, giving players extra motivation to shine before the All-Star break. For fans, it’s a new way to watch familiar matchups with higher stakes—and for collectors, Pro Merch has all the official NBA Cup gear to show your team pride.

How the NBA Cup Works

The NBA Cup is structured to seamlessly integrate with the regular season while adding its own competitive layer. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Group Stage

All 30 NBA teams are sorted into six groups of five, based on their performance in the previous season. Each team plays four “Cup Nights” games against the other members of their group. These matchups are not just for the tournament—they also count toward the team’s regular-season record. The group stage sets the stage for which squads will move on to the high-stakes knockout rounds.

2. Knockout Rounds

Eight teams advance from the group stage into single-elimination play. This includes the winners of each group plus two wild-card teams, one from each conference, that posted the best records among non-group winners. Every game in this phase is do-or-die, creating some of the most intense moments of the early NBA season.

3. Semifinals and Championship

The final four teams meet in Las Vegas for the semifinals and championship game. Only one team will hoist the NBA Cup trophy, and all players on teams reaching the knockout stage earn prize money—adding both glory and financial incentive.

2025 NBA Cup Groups

The NBA determined this year’s groups by ranking teams into pots based on their 2024–25 records and then randomly drawing them into six five-team groups. Here’s the lineup:

Eastern Conference

  • East Group A: Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards
  • East Group B: Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers
  • East Group C: Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks

Western Conference

  • West Group A: Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Utah Jazz
  • West Group B: Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans
  • West Group C: Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs

The groups for the 2025 NBA Cup were determined by placing all 30 teams into five pots based on their record from the 2024–25 season and then randomly drawing them into six five-team groups.

Pro Merch Report: Giants Make a Major Coaching Move as Eagles Take Command of the NFC

It’s been another headline-heavy week across the NFL as midseason turbulence shakes up the playoff picture — and team rosters — in dramatic fashion.

From the New York Giants’ decision to part ways with head coach Brian Daboll to the Philadelphia Eagles tightening their grip on the NFC’s top seed, Week 10 brought plenty of storylines for fans, analysts, and merch collectors alike.

As teams battle through injuries, weather conditions, and crucial matchups, Pro Merch has the ultimate lineup of official NFL team apparel and gear for every fan to represent their team through the highs and lows of the season. Whether you’re loyal to the Giants, Eagles, Jaguars, or any other squad, you can find your team’s latest official merchandise here: Shop Official NFL Gear at Pro Merch.


Giants Fire Brian Daboll After Disappointing Start

The biggest news of the week came out of East Rutherford, where the New York Giants officially fired head coach Brian Daboll following the team’s 24–20 loss to the Chicago Bears. With a 2–8 record through 10 weeks, the Giants have struggled to find consistency on either side of the ball, leading ownership to make a midseason move that signals a total reset.

Daboll, who led the team to a playoff berth in 2022 and was named NFL Coach of the Year that season, couldn’t replicate that early success amid mounting injuries and offensive challenges. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale is expected to serve as interim head coach while the Giants begin their search for a long-term replacement.

Giants fans looking to stand by their team through this rebuilding phase can show their loyalty with official New York Giants hoodies, hats, and sideline apparel now available at Pro Merch’s NFL Collection.


Travis Hunter Sidelined After Season-Ending Surgery

In Jacksonville, rookie standout Travis Hunter suffered a major setback after undergoing season-ending knee surgery to repair a torn LCL. Hunter, who has been playing both wide receiver and cornerback for the Jaguars, was one of the most versatile and talked-about rookies of the season.

Team officials confirmed that the surgery was successful and that Hunter is expected to make a full recovery in time for the 2026 NFL season. His absence, however, leaves a major gap for the Jaguars as they fight to remain competitive in the AFC South.

Fans can still gear up for the remainder of the Jaguars’ season — and Hunter’s comeback story — with Jacksonville merchandise and collectibles from Pro Merch’s official NFL store.


Eagles Defeat Packers on Monday Night Football

The Philadelphia Eagles continued their dominance in prime time, edging out the Green Bay Packers with a hard-fought 10–7 victory on Monday Night Football. In a defensive battle that highlighted both teams’ resilience, the Eagles improved to 7–2, maintaining their position as the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni have kept the team focused and balanced despite key injuries. With strong play from the defense and clutch performances from the offensive line, Philadelphia looks poised for another deep playoff run.

Fans can join in the celebration by repping the NFC leaders with official Eagles jerseys, sideline jackets, and fan gear — available now through Pro Merch’s NFL Collection.

Pro Merch Report as the Jaguars and Rams Set for Showdown in London as 2025 NFL International Series Closes

The 2025 NFL International Series wraps up in grand fashion this Sunday, October 19, as the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Los Angeles Rams at Wembley Stadium in London. Both teams enter the matchup with identical 4-2 records, making this more than just an overseas spectacle — it’s a pivotal game with playoff implications for both sides.

Game Info
📅 Date: Sunday, October 19, 2025
🕤 Time: 9:30 a.m. ET
🏟️ Venue: Wembley Stadium, London, England
📺 Broadcast: NFL Network
💻 Streaming: NFL+, Fubo, DirecTV, and other major platforms

As the NFL’s global presence continues to grow, fans can celebrate the league’s reach — and their favorite teams — with officially licensed gear and memorabilia from Pro Merch’s NFL collection, featuring exclusive jerseys, apparel, and fan gear for both the Jaguars and the Rams.


Two Teams, One Goal: Stay in the Playoff Race

For Jacksonville, this marks their 14th game in the United Kingdom, solidifying the team’s role as London’s unofficial home franchise. With a 4-2 record, the Jaguars enter this matchup with confidence but face mounting pressure to keep pace in the AFC South, where the Indianapolis Colts (5-1) currently hold the top spot.

A win would move Jacksonville to 5-2, narrowing the gap and giving them momentum before their Week 8 bye. A loss, however, could complicate their playoff aspirations, especially with tight competition for AFC Wild Card positions.

The Rams, on the other hand, are chasing a division crown in the NFC West, one of football’s most competitive divisions. Tied with the 49ers and Seahawks at 4-2, Los Angeles is looking to seize the upper hand heading into their bye. A victory in London would not only push them to 5-2 but also send them home with renewed confidence ahead of a grueling second-half schedule.


Storylines to Watch at Wembley

1. Rams Offense Faces a Test Without Puka Nacua

Los Angeles’ offensive rhythm has revolved around Puka Nacua, the dynamic third-year wideout who currently leads the league in receptions (54) and ranks second in receiving yards (616). However, Nacua’s ankle injury sidelines him for Sunday’s contest, leaving Matthew Stafford to rely on veteran Davante Adams to shoulder the load.

Adams, one of the league’s most accomplished receivers, has the perfect opportunity to bounce back against a Jacksonville defense ranked near the bottom in pass coverage. The Jaguars have struggled since trading cornerback Tyson Campbell to Cleveland, and with linebacker Devin Lloyd out due to a calf injury, the middle of the field could be ripe for exploitation.

The Rams’ ability to adapt without their star wideout may define this matchup — and their season moving forward.


2. Jaguars Must Eliminate Costly Mistakes

Last week’s loss to Seattle was a showcase of what can go wrong for the Jaguars when discipline slips. Jacksonville committed 10 penalties, allowed seven sacks on Trevor Lawrence, and missed two kicks. Despite leading the NFL in takeaways (14), the Jags have struggled with consistency and composure.

Head coach Liam Coen, once a protégé of Rams’ coach Sean McVay, emphasized that his team needs to “play clean football.” Protecting Lawrence from the Rams’ formidable front — led by Byron Young, who ranks second in the NFL with 7.5 sacks — will be critical if Jacksonville hopes to reclaim its offensive rhythm.


3. Travis Hunter Needs to Step Into the Spotlight

Jaguars’ two-way phenom Travis Hunter has yet to deliver a breakout performance on the pro stage. Though he’s been a workhorse on both sides of the ball, his offensive production remains modest — just 20 receptions for 197 yards through six games.

Coach Coen hinted that this week’s game plan would involve “scheming Hunter open” more frequently. Given the Rams’ opportunistic secondary, Jacksonville will need Hunter’s speed and creativity to stretch the field and keep Los Angeles’ defense honest.


Injury Updates

Rams:

  • Puka Nacua (ankle)Out
  • Rob Havenstein (ankle)Out
  • Blake Corum (ankle) – Limited, expected to play
  • Tutu Atwell (hamstring) – Full participant, likely active

Jaguars:

  • Devin Lloyd (calf)Out
  • Quintin Morris (groin)Out
  • Robert Hainsey (hamstring) – Full participant, expected to start
  • Travon Walker (wrist) – Cleared to play

Coaching Connection and Strategic Chess Match

Sunday’s showdown carries an added narrative twist — the teacher versus the student. Rams coach Sean McVay has established himself as one of the brightest offensive minds in football, and Jaguars head coach Liam Coen once served under him in Los Angeles.

Now, Coen faces his former mentor with a chance to prove that Jacksonville’s recent success is no fluke. Expect a high-tempo chess match featuring creative offensive wrinkles and plenty of mid-game adjustments.


London’s Growing Football Legacy

This will mark the final international game of the 2025 season, capping another successful run for the NFL’s global outreach. Wembley Stadium has become a centerpiece for football fans abroad, and this matchup — featuring two winning teams — highlights how the league’s investment in international growth continues to pay off.

Fans attending the game — and those watching from home — can grab official Jaguars and Rams gear from Pro Merch’s NFL section. From custom jerseys to limited-edition hoodies, Pro Merch continues to be the go-to destination for diehard NFL supporters who want to rep their team on game day and beyond.


What’s at Stake

Both teams need this win to keep their playoff momentum intact. For Jacksonville, it’s about proving that their London success can translate into postseason stability. For the Rams, it’s a chance to reinforce their identity as one of the NFC’s most resilient teams.

When the Jaguars and Rams clash at Wembley, expect a physical, high-energy contest that not only showcases two playoff-caliber squads but also underscores just how far the NFL’s international footprint has come.

London gets the curtain call for the 2025 International Series — and with these two teams on deck, it’s shaping up to be one of the best games of the season.

Pro Merch Report: NFL Week 6 Delivers Upsets, Breakouts, and Brutal Injuries as the Season Heats Up By Pro Merch Sports Desk


Explore official NFL gear and team merch now at Pro Merch. The NFL’s Week 6 slate was a thriller from start to finish — a weekend that reminded fans why autumn Sundays (and Mondays) belong to football. From shocking upsets to heartbreaking injuries, powerhouse performances to season-defining losses, the league is starting to take shape — and so are the playoff races.

As we move deeper into October, contenders are emerging, dark horses are fighting to stay in the mix, and some early favorites are starting to show cracks. Here’s a full breakdown of everything that went down in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season, streaming across networks and powering passionate fans everywhere through Pro Merch’s official NFL collection.


🏈 Undefeated Titans Fall: Eagles and Bills Suffer First Losses

It finally happened — both the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills fell for the first time this season.

  • The Eagles dropped a tight one to the Denver Broncos, whose defense stepped up in spectacular fashion to hand Jalen Hurts and company their first L of 2025.
  • Meanwhile, the New England Patriots stunned the Bills in Foxborough, pulling off a narrow, gritty win that might mark a turning point in their rebuilding season.

For Philadelphia and Buffalo, it’s not panic time yet — but both teams will need to reset fast as midseason approaches.


🚨 Buccaneers Make a Statement in San Francisco

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made sure the football world remembered their name this weekend. Despite being down several key starters — including Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Jr., and rookie Bucky Irving — the Bucs took down the heavily favored San Francisco 49ers in a stunning 30-19 upset.

It was a tough day for San Francisco fans, as defensive anchors Nick Bosa and Fred Warner both went down with season-ending injuries. Add in injuries to Ricky Pearsall, George Kittle, and Emeka Egbuka, and the Niners are suddenly facing an uphill battle just to stay afloat in the NFC playoff picture.


⚔️ AFC West Heats Up: Chiefs Back in Business, Broncos Rise

The Kansas City Chiefs reminded everyone why you can never count them out, earning a crucial 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions to climb back to .500 at 3-3. Patrick Mahomes looked sharp, connecting with Rashee Rice for two scores as Kansas City salvaged what could’ve been a spiraling season.

On the other hand, the Denver Broncos — yes, those Broncos — are suddenly legitimate contenders in the AFC West. With back-to-back wins and a defense that’s locking down elite offenses, Denver’s resurgence is one of the most unexpected storylines of the year.


🏆 Steelers Surge to the Top of the AFC North

The Pittsburgh Steelers are quietly taking command of the AFC North. After a convincing 23-9 win over the Cleveland Browns, and with the Baltimore Ravens suffering another stumble, the division now runs through Pittsburgh.

Mike Tomlin’s squad continues to win the way Steelers football has always been played — defense, discipline, and just enough offensive spark when it counts.


🐎 Colts Keep Rolling Behind Jonathan Taylor

Few teams have been more consistent in 2025 than the Indianapolis Colts. Now 5-1 after a thrilling 31-27 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, Indy’s confidence is sky-high. Running back Jonathan Taylor sealed the deal late with a 16-yard touchdown burst, proving once again why he’s among the league’s elite.

At this pace, the Colts look every bit like an AFC playoff lock — and maybe even a sleeper Super Bowl threat.


🐦 Seahawks Soar Past Jaguars

The Seattle Seahawks continued their midseason push, improving to 4-2 with a 20-12 road win over Jacksonville. Geno Smith has been steady, the defense opportunistic, and Pete Carroll’s energy has the Pacific Northwest buzzing again.


🚫 Jets Still Searching for Answers

For the New York Jets, it’s becoming a long season. After a 13-11 loss to Denver, they remain the NFL’s only winless team. The offense continues to sputter, and while the defense has held strong, frustration is clearly mounting in the locker room.

🩹 Injury Rundown: Major Names Down

Week 6 wasn’t kind to some of the league’s top stars. Notable injuries include:

  • Fred Warner (49ers) – Dislocated ankle (out for season)
  • Nick Bosa (49ers) – Torn ACL (out for season)
  • Ricky Pearsall (49ers) – Knee injury
  • George Kittle (49ers) – Undisclosed
  • Emeka Egbuka (49ers) – Hamstring
  • Mike Evans (Buccaneers) – Hamstring
  • Chris Godwin Jr. (Buccaneers) – Fibula
  • Bucky Irving (Buccaneers) – Foot/shoulder
  • Terry McLaurin (Commanders) – Quad
  • Noah Brown (Commanders) – Knee/groin

The injury bug hit hard this week — especially for the 49ers and Buccaneers — but depth and resilience will determine who survives the grind of the 18-week season.


⚡ Monday Night Football Doubleheader

Week 6 wraps up with two marquee matchups:

  • Buffalo Bills (4-1) at Atlanta Falcons (2-2) — ESPN
  • Chicago Bears (2-2) at Washington Commanders (3-2) — ABC

With playoff positioning already taking shape, both games carry big implications — particularly for Buffalo, who will look to rebound after their first loss.


🏆 Looking Ahead: Playoff Races Begin to Take Form

With six weeks in the books, the NFL standings are tightening fast. Teams like Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, and Pittsburgh are asserting themselves, while others are scrambling to stay relevant. Every game from here on out matters — and Week 7 promises even more drama.

Pro Merch International Game Report Vikings vs. Steelers Set to Make NFL History in Ireland

On Sunday, September 28, 2025, the Minnesota Vikings will meet the Pittsburgh Steelers at Croke Park in a Week 4 showdown that doubles as history in the making.
