NFL – National Football League – Week 10 Yesterday Detroit Lions 31, Chicago Bears 30 Indianapolis Colts 25, Las Vegas Raiders 20 Lions 31, Bears 30 – Lions overcome big effort by Fields, beat Bears 31-30 Jamaal Williams scored on a 1-yard run in the closing minutes, Jared Goff threw for 236 yards and a touchdown, and the Detroit Lions overcame another spectacular effort by Chicago’s Justin Fields to beat the Bears 31-30. The Lions scored 21 points in the fourth quarter on the way to their second straight win after losing five in a row. They wiped out a 14-point deficit with two quick TDs, tying it on a 20-yard interception return by Jeff Okudah. Fields then went 67 yards untouched for a TD to put Chicago back on top 30-24. Cairo Santos missed the extra point. Goff led an eight-play, 91-yard drive in the closing minutes. Williams made it 31-30 when he scored with 2:21 remaining. Fields ran for 147 yards and two scores and threw for two. According to STATS, Chicago became the first team in NFL history to score at least 29 points in three consecutive games and lose all three. The Bears have dropped six of seven overall. Colts 25, Raiders 20 – Matt Ryan, interim coach Saturday rally Colts past Raiders Matt Ryan got his job back as the Colts’ starter under TV analyst-turned-interim coach Jeff Saturday. The veteran quarterback delivered a 35-yard touchdown pass to Parris Campbell to lead Indianapolis to a 25-20 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The touchdown with 5:07 left came shortly after the 37-year-old quarterback converted a third-and-3 with a 39-yard run to the Raiders’ 36-yard line. His play helped give Saturday his first victory. It also handed the Raiders their third loss in a row and will increase the scrutiny on first-year coach Josh McDaniels.

Golf – PGA – Finau sails to 4-shot victory in Houston, 3rd win of year Tony Finau has won the Houston Open and it was never in doubt. For a guy who once had a hard time winning, this one was easy. Finau had a four-shot lead going into the final round. He led by as many as eight shots along the back nine. Finau shot a 69 and won by four shots over Tyson Alexander. Finau won for the third time this year. He now has four PGA Tour victories in his last 30 starts. He won only one time in his first 185 starts on the PGA Tour.

Korda won the Pelican Women’s Championship after a duel with Lexi Thompson. Korda pulled ahead with two late birdies and shot 64. Thompson couldn’t catch her. Korda was emotional after her round because it’s been a tough year. She missed four months with a blood clot in her left arm and has struggled to regain her form. But she won the Pelican Women’s Championship for the second straight year. And she is No. 1 again. That’s where she started the year. ECHL – ECHL Hockey League Yesterday Indy Fuel 2, Kalamazoo Wings 1 NBAGL – NBA G-League Yesterday Cleveland Charge 121, Grand Rapids Gold 106 Windy City Bulls 121, Iowa Wolves 105 MHSAA – Niles new football field finally completed Fans of the Niles football team have had a long road this season. The 2022 football season was played entirely on the road this fall as Viking Stadium was being converted from a grass playing field to artificial turf. Construction on the field didn’t start until August, which made it impossible for the Vikings to play any games at home this season. Niles had four home games scheduled, their game against Buchanan was played at Berrien Springs new Sylvester Stadium. Games against Vicksburg and Dowagiac were played at Steve Upton Field at Dickinson Stadium in St. Joe. And the Vikings homecoming game against Paw Paw was actually played at Falan Field in Paw Paw. But a week after the Vikings were eliminated from the 2022 football playoffs, Niles field is finally complete. Even though there aren’t any upcoming football games for the community to celebrate it’s unveiling. Niles is hosting a community celebration on Thursday, November 17 at 4:30 p.m. A ribbon cutting for the Niles High School Sports and Competition Field at Viking Stadium will be held at 4:30, then the field will remain open for the community to view the new field. The new field is lined for both football and soccer. It’s unknown if the Niles girls soccer team will be opening up the spring season on the new field or not. We do know that the first official football game will be on the opening week of the 2023 season against St. Joseph.
