Packers 24
Redskins 42 During their 4-game losing streak, Green Bay has given up 153 points and turned the ball over six times. Somehow, I doubt the Packers front office will agree with Mike McCarthy’s self-assessment. And if Aaron Rodgers is Gandalf the White, then Kirk Cousins is Sauron. If Captain Kirk outplays Dak Prescott to beam up a ‘Skins upset win in Dallas on Thanksgiving, he’s definitely getting $100 million. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

Ravens 17
Cowboys 27 Before Sunday, Baltimore owned Dallas: The Ravens were 4-0 against the Cowboys all-time, winning by an average margin of two touchdowns. This time? Dak happened. Thus, the Ravens’ No. 1 defense was right not to treat Dak Prescott like a rookie and Joe Flacco was wrong to think the streak should continue. (AP Photo/Michael Ainsworth)

Steelers 24
Browns 9 That settles it: The Browns Curse trumps the Trump Curse. Of course, what do you expect from a team disinterested in winning? (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)

Jaguars 19
Lions 26 Apparently, the moniker “Cardiac Cats” applies to both of these teams: Detroit is the first team in NFL history to feature six fourth-quarter comebacks in their first 10 games, while Jacksonville is inducing cardiac arrest for their 12 fans by consistently finding new and depressing ways to lose.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - NOVEMBER 20:  T.Y. Hilton #13 of the Indianapolis Colts catches a pass while being guarded by Perrish Cox #20 of the Tennessee Titans during the fourth quarter of the game at Lucas Oil Stadium on November 20, 2016 in Indianapolis, Indiana.  (Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)
Titans 17
Colts 24 Remember the Titans’ last win in Indy? Me neither. On the day that Indianapolis commemorated the 10th anniversary of their Super Bowl XLI victory, they beat Tennessee for the 11th straight time — which means the Titans’ last victory came when the Colts were defending that title. Indy may not be good at football this year, but they sure know how to pick the right homecoming opponent. (Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)
Buffalo Bills defensive back Jonathan Dowling (31) runs the ball past Cincinnati Bengals outside linebacker Vontaze Burfict (55) in the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 20, 2016, in Cincinnati. The Bills won 16-12. (AP Photo/Frank Victores)
Bills 16
Bengals 12 Considering this is Cincinnati’s sixth game this season scoring under 20 points, perhaps Vontaze Burfict should direct his ire toward his team’s offense, rather than the long-suffering fans … (AP Photo/Frank Victores)
KANSAS CITY, MO - NOVEMBER 20: Kicker Roberto Aguayo #19 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicks his third field goal of the game from the hold of Bryan Anger #9 against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium during the first quarter of the game on November 20, 2016 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Bucs 19
Chiefs 17 In a stat typical of this crazy 2016 season, maligned rookie kicker Roberto Aguayo was perfect on a day when an NFL-record 12 extra points were missed in the other 12 Sunday games. Go figure. (Photo by Peter Aiken/Getty Images)
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - NOVEMBER 20: Jay Cutler #6 of the Chicago Bears is sacked by Jason Pierre-Paul #90 of the New York Giants during their game at MetLife Stadium on November 20, 2016 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)
Bears 16
Giants 22 Perhaps Pernell McPhee was talking big because he thought he was going to play against his own offense: Chicago hasn’t scored 24 points in a game all season and their 13 giveaways are in the bottom half of the league. These Bears have no claws. (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - NOVEMBER 20: Larry Fitzgerald #11 of the Arizona Cardinals takes the field in the second of the game on November 20, 2016 at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)
Cardinals 24
Vikings 30 I feel bad for Larry Fitzgerald. Not only has the former Vikings ball boy never won and never scored against his hometown team in five career games, but he’s also been held to just 32 catches for 437 yards. Fitz doesn’t deserve to see his final season circle the drain like this. Meanwhile, Minnesota needed 100-yard touchdowns from their defense and special teams to overcome their putrid offense. If only the Vikings’ running game were as strong as their trolling game. (Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)

Dolphins 14
Rams 10 Los Angeles didn’t scale back the offense for Jared Goff’s debut, but maybe they should have. QBs picked No. 1 overall have now lost 10 straight when making their first start. The Rams simply aren’t good. The jury’s still out in Miami, though. The Dolphins are the first team since the 2011 Broncos to win four straight games when trailing in the fourth quarter. It’s never a good thing when you’re compared to a team quarterbacked by Tim Tebow. (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill)
New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount (29) and quarterback Tom Brady (12) celebrate after the Patriots beat the San Francisco 49ers in an NFL football game in Santa Clara, Calif., Sunday, Nov. 20, 2016. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez)
Patriots 30
49ers 17 Tom Brady threw for four TDs in his first game in his childhood team’s stadium, and LeGarrette Blount ran wild against his old coach. New England’s revenge tour rolls on. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez)
SEATTLE, WA - NOVEMBER 20:  Quarterback Russell Wilson #3 of the Seattle Seahawks scores a touchdown reception against the Philadelphia Eagles at CenturyLink Field on November 20, 2016 in Seattle, Washington.  (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)
Eagles 15
Seahawks 26 So Russell Wilson can run, pass, and catch touchdowns? This triple threat has more than earned his Twitter handle. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)

Saints 20
Panthers 23 New Orleans has lost two straight games because they can’t stop getting kicks blocked. How can a team with two special teams coaches (and a third on the way??) be so bad on special teams? (AP Photo/Mike McCarn)
