Cowboys In The NFL: Week 12

STILLWATER – Last week marked the twelfth week of NFL action in 2025, with several former Cowboys making an impact.

Pittsburgh Steelers teammates and fellow Pro Pokes Mason Rudolph and Jaylen Warren shared the backfield in the team's Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears, with each turning in respectable performances.

Rudolph performed well in his first start of the season, completing 24 of his 31 passes for 171 yards. The former NCAA All-American added one touchdown and one interception to his stat line. Warren rushed 18 times for 68 yards, punching in a touchdown on the ground as well. The duo's efforts came up just short, as the Steelers narrowly fell 31-28 to the Bears. Now 6-5 on the season, Rudolph, Warren and the Steelers look to bounce back next Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, with kickoff set for 3:25 p.m. CDT.

Two-time Oklahoma State team captain and Chicago Bears fifth-year linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga played a huge part in the team's victory over the Steelers, recording a whopping 14 tackles. This shattered Ogbongbemiga's previous career high of 8 tackles, which he set in 2021. The Bears have won four straight games and look to continue the streak this Friday against the Philadelphia Eagles, with kickoff set for 2 p.m. CDT.

Three-time All-Big 12 honoree Malcolm Rodriguez made his season debut Sunday, helping his Detroit Lions to a 34-27 overtime victory over former OSU teammate Korie Black and the New York Giants. Rodriguez secured 2 tackles, while Black made 6 of his own. Rodriguez and the Lions will make a quick turnaround this week, as they are set to take on their NFC North rival Green Bay Packers at noon CDT on Thanksgiving. Black and the Giants will return to action in next week's edition of Monday Night Football, squaring off against the New England Patriots at 7:15 p.m. CDT.

San Francisco 49ers rookie linebacker Nick Martin recorded the first forced fumble of his young career on Monday, stripping Carolina Panthers running back Trevor Etienne. A dominant showing from Martin and the San Francisco defense led the team to a 20-9 primetime victory to improve to 8-4 on the year. The 49ers return to action next Sunday at noon CDT as they take on fellow Pro Poke Teven Jenkins and the Cleveland Browns.
