Regular Season Week 12
Have you ever had one of those weeks that blindsided you. I’ve had one of those weeks. What day is it? No worries, I’m ok. We’re ok. I just didn’t have the time I usually do to put into this report, so it’ll be on the brief side.
I bounced back somewhat in fantasy, winning in one league, losing in the other. Current ranking (3rd) CMC Ya Next Season 7-4, (7th) Cursed 4-7.
Also, I went 13-2 in picks.
Let’s jump into the recap!
Jets @ Patriots 14-27 (8:20pm NBC)
The Jets opened the game with a long, early touchdown drive, but the Patriots offense, led by Drake Maye and RB TreVeyon Henderson, quickly took control and pulled away.
Fun Fact: Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson scored three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving), joining Rob Gronkowski as the only two rookies in Patriots franchise history to achieve this in a single game.
Commanders @ Dolphins 13-16 OT
The Dolphins defeated the Commanders in overtime in the NFL's first ever regular season game played in Spain. The defensive-minded game saw Washington force multiple goal-line stops, but Miami cornerback Jack Jones sealed the victory with an interception on the very first play of overtime, setting up the game-winning field goal.
Fun Fact: This game was played at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, Spain, making it the first time an NFL regular-season game was ever held in that country.
Bengals @ Steelers 12-34
Things didn’t really get exciting until the second half. The game shifted dramatically in the third quarter when Steelers safety Kyle Dugger intercepted a Joe Flacco pass and returned it 73 yards for a touchdown. After starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers left the game with a wrist injury, backup Mason Rudolph efficiently managed the offense to secure the divisional win.
Fun Fact: The Steelers defense scored two touchdowns, a pick-six by Kyle Dugger and a fumble recovery by James Pierre, making it the first time the team had multiple defensive touchdowns in a game since 2018.
Chargers @ Jaguars 6-35
The Jaguars dominated the Chargers ending LA's three-game winning streak. The Jaguars success was built on a punishing run game that put up 192 yards and four touchdowns, completely controlling the clock and tempo. The lopsided loss was so decisive that the Chargers pulled quarterback Justin Herbert from the game in the fourth quarter.
Fun Fact: The Jaguars defense was exceptional, allowing the Chargers a total of only 42 rushing yards, marking the second time this season they held an opponent under 50 yards rushing.
Buccaneers @ Bills 32-44
The Bills defeated the Buccaneers in a wild, back and worth game that featured an incredible nine lead changes. Bills QB Josh Allen accounted for all six of Buffalo's touchdowns (three passing, three rushing) to overcome a strong 202 yard rushing effort by the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay managed to turn three Bills turnovers into only three points, allowing Buffalo to pull away in the fourth quarter for the decisive home victory.
Fun Fact: Josh Allen's performance made him the first player in NFL history to have two separate games with at least three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns.
Bears @ Vikings 19-17
The Bears blew a 16-3 fourth-quarter lead, allowing the Vikings to score two late touchdowns to take a one-point lead with 50 seconds left. A 56 yard kickoff return by Devin Duvernay immediately set up the game-winning drive for kicker Cairo Santos.
Fun Fact: The Chicago Bears defense forced two interceptions on Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, making them the first NFL team since the 2011 Green Bay Packers to have three different players with at least four interceptions in their first 10 games of a season.
Texans @ Titans 16-13
Filling in for the injured C.J. Stroud, QB Davis Mills engineered a crucial final drive, capped off by Matthew Wright's 35 yard field goal as time expired. Houston's defense was stout, holding the Titans to only 229 total yards, though they did allow a late 95 yard touchdown drive that briefly tied the game.
Fun Fact: This victory marked the Texans fifth consecutive win in Nashville against the Titans, sweeping the season series for the 2025 season.
Panthers @ Falcons 30-27 OT
The Panthers overcame a 21-7 deficit to defeat the Falcons in a thrilling overtime divisional matchup. Panthers QB Bryce Young put on a phenomenal performance, orchestrating the furious rally and setting up the game winning field goal in OT. The loss was especially tough for the Falcons, who saw quarterback Michael Penix Jr. leave the game with a knee injury in the third quarter.
Fun Fact: Bryce Young set a Panthers franchise record for most passing yards in a single game with 448 yards in this dramatic victory over their NFC South rivals.
Packers @ NY Giants 27-20
I don’t have anything to say about the Giants. The Packers snapped a two game losing streak despite injuries to quarterback Jordan Love and running back Josh Jacobs. Love returned from a shoulder injury to throw the go ahead touchdown pass to Christian Watson with four minutes left in the fourth quarter. The victory was secured by safety Evan Williams, who intercepted a pass in the end zone with 36 seconds remaining to stop the Giants final drive.
Fun Fact: Despite winning the game, the Packers had a massive 11:52 time of possession deficit (24:04 to the Giants 35:56), the largest gap they'd overcome all season.
Seahawks @ Rams 19-21
The Rams defense was the decisive factor, intercepting Sam Darnold four times, with two picks leading directly to Rams touchdowns. Although Seattle mounted a late comeback, kicker Jason Myers missed a 61 yard field goal attempt as time expired, sealing the victory for Los Angeles.
Fun Fact: The Rams victory was only the second win of the Sean McVay era where Los Angeles had less than 23 minutes of possession time, showcasing the sheer impact of their four takeaways.
49ers @ Cardinals 41-22
Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes, while running back Christian McCaffrey scored three total touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving). The Cardinals were severely hampered by three turnovers and a staggering 17 penalties for 130 yards, allowing the 49ers to maintain control throughout the game.
Fun Fact: 49ers tight end George Kittle's two touchdown receptions gave him 50 career receiving touchdowns, making him and Brock Purdy the 49ers franchise leaders for most quarterback-to-tight end touchdowns.
Ravens @ Browns 23-16
Trailing most of the game, Baltimore took the lead late in the fourth quarter when tight end Mark Andrews executed a trick play, running 35 yards for a go ahead rushing touchdown. Despite the Browns defense recording three turnovers and star Myles Garrett racking up four sacks, the Ravens run game and a late defensive stand sealed the victory.
Fun Fact: Mark Andrews' game-winning play, which was a fake "tush push" where he lined up under center and ran the ball, was the first rushing touchdown of his entire NFL career.
Chiefs @ Broncos 19-22
The Broncos won another one with a field goal as time expired. Kansas City's struggles continued, as they were undone by an inability to finish drives, including a crucial blocked extra point and two late three-and-outs.
Fun Fact: Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce broke the franchise record for career total touchdowns with his 84th score, surpassing former Chiefs running back Priest Holmes.
Lions @ Eagles 9-16
The Eagles defense held the Lions to their lowest point total of the season and made five crucial stops on fourth down, repeatedly turning back scoring threats. Offensively, Jalen Hurts scored the Eagles only touchdown via the tush push, which proved to be the difference in the low-scoring outing.
Fun Fact: The Eagles defense held the Lions, who entered the game averaging 31.4 points per game, to just nine points; this marked the first time all season that Detroit failed to convert a single fourth-down attempt (going 0-for-5).
Cowboys @ Raiders 33-16
Dak Prescott had four touchdown passes and the Cowboys defense shut down the Raiders offense, holding them to just 27 rushing yards and forcing a safety.
Fun Fact: Dak Prescott's four-touchdown performance was his 41st career game with at least three passing touchdowns, breaking a tie with Tony Romo for the most in Cowboys franchise history.

Sunday, November 23rd

The Chiefs have only lost one home game this season. It’s hard to pick against them at home. Therefore, I guess I’m picking the Chiefs to win this game.
Steelers (6-4) @ Bears (7-3) (1pm CBS)
The Bears have done really well as of late and the Steelers may be without Aaron Rodgers, who has a broken wrist on his non throwing arm. Regardless, I’m picking the Bears to win this game.
Patriots (9-2) @ Bengals (3-7) (1pm CBS)
The only hope the Bengals had of winning this game was with Ja’mar Chase and he’s on a one game suspension for spitting on another player. I’m picking the Patriots to win this game.

It doesn’t matter who is quarterbacking the Jets, I’m picking the Ravens to win this game.
