Week 12 of the NFL season kicked off on Thursday with the Houston Texans knocking off the Buffalo Bills. The international games are done, so there is no Sunday morning game. Four teams are on their bye week, so there are 13 games left on the schedule.

The NFL, MLB and a revitalized broadcast schedule fueled Disney, Fox, Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery’s gains in Nielsen’s Media Distributor Gauge for the month of October. But it was not enough to topple YouTube.

Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season kicked off Thursday with the Houston Texans defeating the Buffalo Bills. But there's still plenty of action to come this weekend.

Before the NBC Sunday matchup between the Rams and Buccaneers, and Monday night's game between the Panthers and 49ers, there will be plenty of Sunday action and festivities on CBS and FOX as the 12th week of the 2025 regular season gets underway.

The San Francisco 49ers improved to 8-4 on the season after a 20-9 Week 12 win over the Carolina Panthers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
