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.

  Mallory  Pugh scored the go-ahead goal in the 56th minute and the U.S. women avoided a  fourth straight loss with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Germany on  Sunday.

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.

Golf  – LPGA – Nelly Korda rallies to win Pelican and returns to No. 1

  Nelly  Korda’s first LPGA Tour victory of the year is taking her back to No. 1 in the  world. 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.

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.
