Philly Stumble in Texas & Mahomes Rescues Chiefs – Top Moments from NFL the Twelfth Week

Week 12 delivered an incredible Dallas Cowboys comeback, or perhaps an massive Eagles implosion?

Postseason Mahomes showed up to salvage the Chiefs' season as the Chicago Bears continue to impress while they continue their winning run.

Did Shedeur Sanders do sufficiently on his debut NFL outing to earn the starting role in Ohio?

Let's take a look at the pick of the action in the NFL.

The Breakdown – Cowboys Comeback or Eagles Collapse?

Dallas found themselves down and out at twenty-one to zero down against the reigning championship winners, how exactly did they produce their equal-largest recovery ever?

Sentiment of a first home fixture since a teammate’s untimely passing could have played a part, but technically it was a mixture of Prescott’s determination and a defence that cashed in on uncommon mistakes by the Philadelphia.

Dak surpassed Romo’s records for yards thrown (now thirty-four thousand three hundred seventy-eight) and game-winning drives (25) with an all-action performance – his plunging touchdown personifying his energetic showing.

Philadelphia squandered a lead of 21 points or more for the first time after nineteen ninety-nine, with just their second game with several giveaways this year – the other being another bad division loss at the Giants.

In addition to 14 penalties for ninety-six yards, the offensive struggles that affected Hurts after what – for him – was an fast beginning was huge. He'd only passed for 200-plus yards in four games before the weekend, he had over one hundred fifty in the opening two quarters by himself in Texas.

However from the time the Eagles went 21-0 up their offence fell apart spectacularly – with four straight punts, a missed field goal and then a turnover giving opportunity after opportunity to the Cowboys.

Philadelphia’s defence is brilliant, it truly is, but an offense that's not surpassed twenty-one points in 5 of seven games (three losses) is now a huge concern, because the pieces are all there but it's just not clicking.

Nick Sirianni approach is all about securing the key situations, the defense maintains them in it and what offense there is manages barely sufficient – if it cannot even do that and now the composure and possession security is breaking down, there may be problems in the future.

In Focus – Postseason Mahomes Shows Up Prematurely to Save Kansas City

It wasn't as dramatic, but the Chiefs’ 11-point comeback in the final period versus a powerful Colts team was very impressive – and could have just saved their campaign.

How big was it? Well, the league’s advanced analytics now give the Kansas City a fifty-eight percent chance of reaching the postseason, whereas a loss on Sunday would have reduced that number to twenty-eight percent.

It’s no surprise the postseason form of Mahomes arrived, passing for two hundred thirty-five yards in the second half by itself and guiding three scoring drives in their last 4 possessions to seal it in extra time.

A few huge passes and daring runs are commonplace for Mahomes in the postseason, but right now the Chiefs are in playoff mode – at 6-5 and just 10th in the conference standings.

That was more like the former Kansas City however, with a first close win of the year after dropping five previously – they won 11 of them last year so, if that confidence returns, this Chiefs Kingdom might not be finished so soon.

Discussion – Are Chicago Be Rulers of the Division?

You can no longer overlook the Chicago Bears any longer. A win over the Steelers, minus Rodgers, maintained them top of the NFC North and at eight and three – sharing the identical standing as the Philadelphia.

They appear dangerous on both sides of the ball, with a defense that tops the NFL in picks and total turnovers and, in Caleb Williams, a young quarterback now accustomed to winning close games.

He may still be shaky, surrendering a touchdown after a turnover in his own goal area – but he additionally passed for three touchdowns and, with already five final period rallies this year, he understands how to get the job done.

The Green Bay Packers are in hot pursuit in the NFC North after dominating the Minnesota and Detroit are in contention after overcoming the Giants in overtime with a huge game from Gibbs.

The Bears are interestingly the most consistent with eight wins in nine, but as they travel to the Super Bowl winners on the holiday we'll discover just how good they really are.

Preview – Thrilling Holiday in Store

It appears among the best holiday line-ups for years, with each game loaded with playoff implications.

Detroit welcome the Green Bay in the traditional curtain-raiser in Michigan, before a rare visit return to Dallas for the Chiefs, who started out life as the Texans way back in the 1960s before moving to Missouri.

Sunday's rally kings are each holding on to playoff hopes but have minimal margin for error – so this will have a playoff atmosphere.

What about the Ravens? An ugly victory over the New York actually has them leading of the division after beginning 1-5 and looking finished.

Can Sanders Retain His Starting Role?

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski dismissed inquiries on whether Sanders had done enough in his debut professional start to maintain the starting position when Gabriel comes back.

But the issue will continue to be asked as Sanders became the first Browns signal-caller to win his first NFL game since Eric Zeier in 1999 – with seventeen additional first-year quarterbacks failing to do so since.

It was only the Raiders, and with the assistance of an nearly aggressive Cleveland defence getting ten tackles, but Cleveland's offense needs a leader, a figurehead to build belief.

Moreover confidence is one thing not lacking in Sanders, who informed a CBS {
