Welcome to Year 13 Week!
If Week 13 is any indication, things could get pretty wild in the NFL playoff race.
- In the NFC, the Carolina Panthers defeated the Los Angeles Rams. The 31-28 win leaves the Panthers just a half game out of first place in the NFC South. With this loss, the Rams lost control of the No. 1 seed in the NFC. They dropped to second place, with the Bears taking first place.
- In the AFC, the Texans turned the AFC South race on its head by defeating the Colts 20–16. The win puts the Texans just one game out of the division lead. With the loss, the Colts are no longer in first place, and that's because the Jaguars took over after beating the Titans 25-3.
- The AFC North race is also heating up. The Steelers' 26–7 loss to the Bills means Pittsburgh is now tied for first place in the division with the Ravens at 6–6, but loses the tiebreaker, meaning they are currently out of playoff contention. And let's not forget about Joe Burrow and the Bengals, who suddenly showed up after beating Baltimore on Thanksgiving.
The most unpredictable NFL season in recent memory has somehow become even more unpredictable.
Anyway, let's get to the grades for this week, starting with the Texans' big win over Indianapolis. If you want to see the scores for Black Friday or the three Thanksgiving games, you I can check it here.
