Philadelphia Falter in Texas & Mahomes Rescues Kansas City – Best Moments from NFL the Twelfth Week

The twelfth week delivered an epic Cowboys rally, or was it an epic Philadelphia Eagles collapse?

Postseason Mahomes arrived to rescue the Chiefs' campaign as the Chicago Bears keep to impress while they continue their winning streak.

Did Shedeur Sanders do sufficiently on his first professional start to secure the starting role in Ohio?

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

The Breakdown – Dallas Rally or Eagles Collapse?

Dallas were down and out at twenty-one to zero behind against the reigning Super Bowl winners, how exactly did they engineer their joint-best recovery ever?

The emotions of a initial home fixture after Marshawn Kneeland untimely passing may have been a factor, however it was a mixture of Dak Prescott resolve and a defensive unit that cashed in on uncommon errors by the Philadelphia.

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

Philadelphia wasted a lead of twenty-one points or more for the first time since nineteen ninety-nine, with just their second game with multiple turnovers this year – the previous being a disappointing division defeat at the Giants.

Along with fourteen penalties for 96 yards, the attacking malaise that affected Hurts after what – for him – was an explosive beginning was huge. He had only passed for 200-plus yards in 4 games prior to Sunday, he had more than one hundred fifty in the opening two quarters by himself in Dallas.

Yet from the time the Eagles went twenty-one to zero up their offense fell apart dramatically – with four straight punts, a missed field goal and then a turnover giving opportunity after opportunity to the Dallas.

The Eagles defense is brilliant, it really is, but an offense that's not surpassed 21 points in five of seven games (three losses) is now a major concern, because the pieces are all there but it's just not working.

Sirianni’s game is all about securing the key situations, the defence maintains them in it and what offense there is manages just about sufficient – if it can't even do that and now the discipline and ball protection is breaking down, there may be problems in the future.

In Focus – Playoff Patrick Appears Early to Rescue Kansas City

It wasn’t as dramatic, but Kansas City's eleven-point comeback in the final period against a powerful Colts squad was very notable – and could have just rescued their campaign.

How significant was it? Well, the league’s Next Gen Stats now give the Kansas City a fifty-eight percent chance of reaching the playoffs, when a defeat on Sunday would have dropped that figure to twenty-eight percent.

It’s no surprise the playoff version of Mahomes turned up, throwing for two hundred thirty-five yards in the latter half alone and guiding three scoring drives in their final 4 possessions to win it in overtime.

A few huge throws and swashbuckling runs are typical for Mahomes in the playoffs, but right now the Chiefs are in playoff form – at six and five and just 10th in the conference rankings.

This was more like the old Chiefs however, with a first one-score win of the season after losing 5 already – they won 11 of them the previous season so, if that belief comes back, this Kansas City faithful may not be done so soon.

Talking Point – Are Chicago Be Kings of the Division?

You just can't overlook the Chicago Bears now. A victory over the Steelers, minus Aaron Rodgers, maintained them first of the division and at eight and three – sharing the same standing as the Eagles.

They look threatening on each side of the ball, with a defence that tops the league in picks and total turnovers and, in Williams, a emerging player now used to securing tight games.

He may still be inconsistent, surrendering a score after a turnover in his own end zone – but he additionally passed for 3 touchdowns and, with already 5 fourth-quarter comebacks this season, he knows how to get the job done.

The Green Bay Packers are in close pursuit in the division after overpowering the Minnesota and Detroit are right there after overcoming the Giants in extra time with a huge game from Jahmyr Gibbs.

Chicago are strangely the most consistent with eight wins in 9, but as they visit the Super Bowl champs on Thanksgiving we'll discover exactly how strong they truly are.

Look Ahead – Exciting Holiday in Prospect

It appears one of the most exciting holiday line-ups for years, with every game packed with playoff implications.

Detroit welcome the Packers in the classic curtain-raiser in Detroit, before a rare visit return to Dallas for the Chiefs, who began life as the Dallas Texans way back in the 1960s before relocating to Missouri.

The weekend’s comeback kings are both clinging to postseason aspirations but have minimal room for error – so this will have a post-season atmosphere.

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

Can Sanders Keep His Job?

Browns head coach Stefanski dismissed questions on whether Shedeur Sanders had performed enough in his first professional start to keep the first-team job when Gabriel returns.

But the question will keep being asked as Shedeur became the first Cleveland quarterback to win his first league game since Eric Zeier in nineteen ninety-nine – with seventeen additional first-year signal callers failing to do so since.

It came just the Raiders, and with the help of an nearly aggressive Browns defence recording ten tackles, but the Browns’ offense needs a director, a figurehead to inspire confidence.

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