The Carolina Panthers defeated the Atlanta Falcons in overtime in Week 11, and wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan made a strong impression during the victory. Afterward, numerous analysts were taking note of his eight-catch, two-touchdown performance.

Analyst Damien Harris raved about McMillan after the rookie’s big breakout game.

“I do want to give some love to Tetairoa McMillan. It was a breakout game for him, but he has been playing like this all season long, like a true WR1. This is a cornerstone piece for the Carolina Panthers moving forward,” Harris said.

Quarterback Bryce Young may get the most headlines, and he deserves acclaim too. He set the franchise single-game passing yards record, despite an injured ankle.

As great as that is, it shouldn’t overshadow McMillan, who had 130 receiving yards on 12 targets. It was the third game of the season when he had double-digit targets and his second game with at least 100 receiving yards.

It was also his second game with multiple touchdowns, yet another impressive accomplishment and reason for the Panthers to be very happy with his first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

In his first 11 games, McMillan has 54 receptions on 89 targets for 748 yards and four touchdowns. He is hoping to build upon those numbers in Week 12 when the Panthers play the San Francisco 49ers.

If he keeps playing like this over the rest of the season, McMillan could win Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
