Week 13 in the NFL was nothing short of spectacular, some underdogs won and some teams are still on fire. Let’s go through my three biggest takeaways from Sunday’s games and why they should or shouldn’t be worried about their season.
Vikings edge out Jets
The Minnesota Vikings beat the New York Jets 27-22 in a close fashion as the game came down to the wire, where the Vikings defense made a stop on fourth down. With the Vikings securing the NFC North, they officially made their way into the playoffs, and look to battle for the number one seed in the NFC. As Jets quarterback Mike White gave his all at the end of the day with two interceptions and a rushing touchdown, but overall came up short as receiver Braxton Berrios dropped a potential game winning touchdown on fourth and goal in the end zone.
Battle for the NFC wildcard
The NFC East is continuing to go down to the wire as the Washington commanders and the New York Giants tied with the score of 20-20 and the Giants still hold a wildcard spot in the NFC. As neither team could win the game in overtime, the Giants almost did as kicker Graham Gano missed a potential game expiring field goal. With two quarterbacks playing well this season neither made the game winning play.
Cinninati edges out the Chiefs
The Cincinnati Bengals edge out the Kansas City Chiefs in a narrow fashion 27-24 and have added to their win streak against the Chiefs 3-0. With both teams considered to be top tier Super Bowl contenders, this was considered matchup of the week and one of the better games of the year thus far. As the Chiefs still have their number one seed in the AFC, they are only one game ahead of second place and will look to bounce back next week against the division rival Denver Broncos.
