Week 13 is the first of the NFL ’s two My Cause My Cleats weekends, during which players can wear custom footwear designed to highlight a charity. For Robinson, it will be his own charity, the Bijan Reads initiative that is part of his Bijan Robinson Foundation.

Kirk Cousins has completed 68.1 percent of his pass attempts for 2,807 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Since they have the head-to-head tiebreaker, the Falcons are essentially two games up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for tops in the NFC South.

Left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and rusher Nick Bosa (hip/oblique), who also did not play in Week 12, were also absent from Thursday's practice. A knee sprain knocked him out of Monday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and now the injury will force running back J.K. Dobbins to miss time for the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Lions and Packers bolstered their playoff positions, while the Giants became the first NFL team mathematically eliminated, on Thanksgiving.

As the Atlanta Falcons prepare for their game against the Los Angeles Chargers, they now have to keep another player in mind.

From 2021 to 2023, the Falcons used multiple first-round picks on offensive weapons, drafting Kyle Pitts, Drake London and Bijan Robinson in consecutive years. Cousins has helped the team utilize these young playmakers in a way that Marcus Mariota, Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder could not.

One fascinating matchup to watch for is wideout Courtland Sutton against cornerback Denzel Ward. The latter leads football with 17 passes deflected. And Sutton is enjoying his best season since his 2019 Pro Bowl campaign. He’s capable of acrobatic, catch-of-the-year grabs on any drive.
