Week 12 delivered an incredible Dallas Cowboys comeback, or perhaps an massive Philadelphia Eagles collapse?

Playoff Mahomes showed up to rescue the Chiefs' campaign as the Chicago Bears keep to impress while they extend their winning streak.

And did Sanders do enough on his debut professional outing to earn the starting role in Ohio?

We’ll examine at the best of the action in the NFL.

Analysis – Dallas Rally or Eagles Collapse?

The Cowboys were trailing badly at 21-0 down versus the reigning championship champions, how exactly did they produce their joint-best recovery in history?

Sentiment of a first home game after a teammate’s untimely death could have played a part, however it was a mixture of Prescott’s resolve and a defence that pounced on uncommon mistakes by the Philadelphia.

Prescott surpassed Romo’s marks for yards thrown (now thirty-four thousand three hundred seventy-eight) and game-winning drives (twenty-five) with an all-action performance – his diving touchdown embodying his energetic display.

Philadelphia wasted a lead of 21 points or more for the first time after 1999, with just their second game with several turnovers this season – the other being another bad NFC East loss at the New York.

In addition to fourteen infractions for 96 yards, the offensive malaise that affected Jalen Hurts after what – for him – was an explosive beginning was huge. He'd only passed for 200-plus yards in 4 games before the weekend, he had more than one hundred fifty in the opening two quarters by himself in Texas.

Yet from the time Philadelphia went twenty-one to zero up their offense derailed spectacularly – with four consecutive punts, a failed three-point attempt and then a turnover handing opportunity after chance to the Dallas.

The Eagles defence is excellent, it truly is, but an offence that's not eclipsed 21 points in 5 of seven games (three losses) is now a major concern, because the pieces are all there but it's simply not working.

Nick Sirianni game is all about winning the big situations, the defence keeps them in it and what offence there is manages just about sufficient – if it cannot even do that and now the composure and possession security is breaking down, there may be trouble in the future.

In Focus – Postseason Mahomes Appears Prematurely to Save Kansas City

It wasn't quite as dramatic, but the Chiefs’ 11-point comeback in the final period versus a powerful Indianapolis squad was very notable – and may have only rescued their campaign.

How big was it? Well, the league’s Next Gen Stats now assign the Chiefs a 58% chance of making the playoffs, whereas a loss on Sunday would have dropped that figure to twenty-eight percent.

It’s no surprise the postseason version of Patrick Mahomes arrived, passing for two hundred thirty-five yards in the second half alone and guiding 3 point-scoring drives in their last 4 series to seal it in extra time.

Some big throws and daring runs are typical for Mahomes in the playoffs, but currently the Kansas City are in playoff form – at 6-5 and just tenth in the conference rankings.

That was closer to the former Chiefs though, with a initial close victory of the year after dropping 5 already – they won 11 of them the previous season so, if that confidence comes back, this Kansas City faithful might not be done just yet.

Talking Point – Are Chicago Become Rulers of the Division?

You just can't ignore the Bears now. A win over the Steelers, without Rodgers, maintained them first of the division and at 8-3 – holding the same standing as the Philadelphia.

They appear threatening on both sides of the ball, with a defense that tops the NFL in interceptions and total takeaways and, in Caleb Williams, a young quarterback now used to winning tight games.

He may at times be shaky, surrendering a score after a fumble in his team’s end zone – but he additionally passed for 3 scores and, with already five final period comebacks this year, he understands how to get the job done.

The Green Bay Packers are in close pursuit in the division after dominating the Minnesota and the Lions are in contention after beating the New York in overtime with a monster game from Jahmyr Gibbs.

The Bears are strangely the most reliable with 8 victories in 9, but as they travel to the championship champs on the holiday we'll see just how strong they truly are.

Preview – Thrilling Holiday in Store

This looks among the most exciting Thanksgiving line-ups for years, with each game packed with postseason consequences.

The Lions welcome the Packers in the traditional curtain-raiser in Michigan, before a unusual trip back to Texas for the Chiefs, who started out life as the Dallas Texans long ago in the sixties before relocating to Missouri.

The weekend’s rally kings are each clinging to postseason aspirations but have very little room for mistakes – so this will have a playoff feel.

What about the Ravens? An ugly win over the New York actually has them top of the division after starting 1-5 and appearing finished.

Can Sanders Retain His Job?

Browns head coach Stefanski dismissed questions on whether Shedeur Sanders had done sufficiently in his debut professional outing to keep the first-team job when Dillon Gabriel returns.

But the issue will keep being raised as Sanders became the first Cleveland signal-caller to secure his first NFL game after Zeier in 1999 – with seventeen additional first-year signal callers unsuccessful to do so since.

It came only the Las Vegas, and with the help of an nearly feral Browns defence recording 10 tackles, but the Browns’ offense needs a director, a presence to inspire confidence.

Moreover confidence is something not missing in Sanders, who told a network {
