Legacies cemented, an eight-point homecoming and a lot of ice cream highlight the NFL Week 13 Recap.
Colts 41
Jets 10
Two players have caught 3 TDs in the first half of a Monday Night game: Dwayne Allen and Jerry Rice. You know the Jets are bad when New Jersey State Troopers are playing better defense .

Redskins 23
Cardinals 31
The Redskins offense continued to rack up yards but not enough points to keep up with David Johnson (12 straight games with 100-plus yards from scrimmage) and Larry Fitzgerald (moved into third in all-time receptions and 10th in receiving yardage). This loss will haunt the ‘Skins.

Dolphins 6
Ravens 38
If Baltimore keeps winning, Eric Weddle’s postgame indulgence might necessitate a position change from safety to nose tackle.
And is it me, or is The Mike Wallace Revenge Tour the NFL’s most under the radar (and least deserved)?

Eagles 14
Bengals 32
Cleveland passing on Carson Wentz suddenly isn’t so laughable…

Chiefs 29
Falcons 28
Eric Berry’s eight-point homecoming to help Kansas City win their league-best 19th game in their last 22 is the best thing I saw all week.

Lions 28
Saints 13
Saints’ sins or Detroit’s D? Drew Brees’ NFL-record 60 straight games with a TD pass came to an ugly end and New Orleans committed multiple turnovers in a game for the sixth time this season. Either way, these two teams appear headed in very different directions.

Rams 10
Patriots 26
Tom Brady cements his status as the greatest of all time , New England clinches their 14th straight 10-win season and Los Angeles is in NSFW disbelief that they’re saddled with the league’s most overrated coach for two more years. Basically, everything went as expected.

49ers 6
Bears 26
Last week, Colin Kaepernick became the first player in NFL history to top 295 passing and 110 rushing in the same game. This week, he gets benched for becoming the first player in 40 years to get sacked five times and attempt only five passes in a game. This seems apropos for the most polarizing player in pro football.

Broncos 20
Jaguars 10
Remember when Jim Zorn said he was the worst coach in America ? That title now belongs to Gus Bradley .
Jacksonville’s quarterback doesn’t seem much better; Blake Bortles’s 11 Pick 6s are the most by a QB in his first three seasons and outnumber his career victories (10). I’ll be stunned if the Jags don’t clean house.

Texans 13
Packers 21
Green Bay’s defense has given up just 26 points in the last two games combined and Julius Peppers — now fifth on the all-time sack list—has a sack in three straight games. This is no coincidence.

Bills 24
Raiders 38
Oakland has outscored opponents 39-0 in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter this season. This week, they started much earlier, rolling off 29 points in just under a 12-minute span bridging the third and fourth quarters. The new Raiders slogan should be directed toward their defense: “Just don’t blow it, baby.”

Giants 14
Steelers 24
Pittsburgh might be sick of Antonio Brown’s dancing , but they’re happy to see their defense playing better; the Steelers have given up just 10 points per game during this three-game win streak and need to keep this up if they’re going to steal the AFC North from Baltimore.

Bucs 28
Chargers 21
Don’t look now, but Tampa Bay has won four straight games to slide into the driver’s seat for the final NFC wild card spot and a first place tie with Atlanta. The Bucs’ hot streak and manageable remaining schedule (New Orleans twice, at Dallas, Carolina) have just put a lot of pressure on the Falcons to win out.

Panthers 7
Seahawks 40
If Carolina’s offensive line is a catastrophe , then what do we call Cam’s wardrobe and the Panthers’ defense?

Cowboys 17
Vikings 15
Dallas has won 11 straight and clinched their division only 3/4 of the way through the season. Don’t pay attention to other admissions …Dak Prescott is indeed the daddy.
