In Week 13 of the NFL, fans saw the teams with the better records, establish that fact in emphatic style, in marked contrast to the shocks in Week 12. In a top game the Philadelphia Eagles showed their class to devour the Baltimore Ravens 24-19, a result which saw two of the best running backs in the league, Derrick Henry (Ravens) and Saquon Barkley (Eagles) face off.

The Los Angeles Chargers faced off against the Atlanta Falcons, where the Chargers managed to secure a 17-13 win despite QB Justin Herbert’s struggles in the second half.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers took on the Cincinnati Bengals, with the Steelers eventually landing the win in a high scoring 44-38 victory over their divisional rivals. That win puts the Steelers in a strong position in the AFC North, especially with the Ravens losing to the Eagles.

The Arizona Cardinals clashed with the Minnesota Vikings, and the Vikings’ top-ranked defense proved too much for the Cardinals to handle as the Vikings eked out a 23-22 win.

There were big wins for the Buffalo Bills who beat the 49ers 35-10 in snowy conditions in Buffalo. The Washington Commanders thrashed the Tennessee Titans 42-19 and the Green Bay Packers were winners in the late Thanksgiving game, defeating Miami 30-17.

In the earlier Thanksgiving Day games, the Detroit Lions hung on to defeat the Chicago Bears 23-20, while the Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Giants 27-20 in the game following.

NFL Gameday 14 – Fixtures

NFL Gameday 14 is the final week of the season that sees teams on a Bye week. Six teams have their bye week at this point, five of whom have genuine playoff hopes. That includes the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts.

The big game this week takes place on Thursday evening/early hours Friday morning and it is a huge AFC North clash between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions. With the Minnesota Vikings 10-2, it is likely we could see all three of these teams qualifying from the playoffs from that division.

The Vikings are one of Sunday’s big games as they host the Falcons, while other key games see the Seahawks take on the Cardinals, while the in-form Buffalo Bills face the Los Angeles Rams. The late game will be intriguing as the Kansas City Chiefs host divisional rivals the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Eagles will look to take full control of the NFC East as they take on the Carolina Panthers.
