Just like on Week 11, on NFL Week 12, fans witnessed some thrilling games and unexpected outcomes. The Minnesota Vikings continued their impressive run on grass surfaces, securing a 30-27 victory against the Chicago Bears. The Bears, struggling with a four-game losing streak, couldn’t find their rhythm offensively.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions extended their winning streak to eight games by defeating the Indianapolis Colts 24-6. The Lions’ high-powered offense proved too much for the Colts, who struggled with time of possession.

The New England Patriots faced off against the Miami Dolphins in a game that highlighted the Patriots’ defensive struggles. Despite their efforts, the Patriots’ defense has forced only one turnover in five games. The Dolphins, on the other hand, showcased some attacking verve missing in the early weeks of the season to record a 34-15 win.

In a must-win game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they faced the New York Giants. The Giants, starting Tommy DeVito at quarterback after benching then releasing Daniel Jones, couldn’t keep up with the Bucs’ determined play with the Bucs winning 30-7.

The Dallas Cowboys managed to avoid a six-game losing streak by defeating the Washington Commanders 34-26. The Commanders struggled with their run game, which hindered their offensive potential.

The Kansas City Chiefs showcased their excellent run defense against the Carolina Panthers. Despite the challenge posed by the Panthers’ Chuba Hubbard, the Chiefs emerged victorious 30-27. The Tennessee Titans faced the Houston Texans, with Texans’ QB C.J. Stroud having a rare day of struggle as the Titans recorded a surprising 32-27 win over their AFC South rivals.

In a thrilling matchup, the Denver Broncos sought their first win in Las Vegas against the Raiders. The Raiders, dealing with injuries among their top backs, struggled with their running game and the Broncos were easy winners 29-19. The San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers both dealt with injuries, but the Packers excel against teams with .500 or worse records, and secured a 38-10 win.

Newsflash! NFL Week 12 Big News

This week, the NFL saw some significant news and trades. The New York Giants made headlines by benching their starting quarterback, Daniel Jones, in favor of rookie Tommy DeVito. This decision came after a series of disappointing performances from Jones. The Giants hope DeVito can bring a fresh perspective to their offense.

It got worse for Jones as he was released from his contract with the Giants and is now a free agent.
