Week 12 nfl 2018 scores theaction8/2/2023 ![]() ![]() I think they got it back in their last game against Atlanta, though. Cleveland had a great September (by their standards) before stumbling through a few bad efforts in a row. Things haven't exactly been great for the Browns, either. Yet they were somehow clinging to a playoff spot until their loss in Baltimore last week. Except the result will be different.īrowns (3-6-1) at Bengals (5-5): Cleveland-Things haven't been going well for the Bengals over the past month or so. This game will be as awful as the one in January. I can't really say much about Jacksonville's offense, either. One of the most amazing stats to come out of the Monday night game was that the Chiefs and Rams combined for one fewer touchdown in that shootout than the Bills have scored all season in 10 games. Which seems hard to believe considering the current state of both teams. Jaguars (3-7) at Bills (3-7): Buffalo-Just 10 months ago, this was a playoff game (and that game set the NFL back about 30 years). And the Saints will breeze to their 10th straight win, as Atlanta's dwindling playoff hopes take another hit. What really bothers me about the Saints is how people are going out of their way to say anybody BUT Drew Brees is the MVP. It's a rivalry game, but it also features the team many consider to be the best in the league (I know the Saints beat them, but I still think the Rams are better). But a win, which would be their third straight, incredibly would move the Cowboys into first place.įalcons (4-6) at Saints (9-1): New Orleans-The NFL sure nailed it with this year's Thanksgiving night game, too. And they have a short week to get ready for a surging Dallas team that seemed out of it just two weeks ago. Now they have to try and stay there without him. He's a big reason why Washington's in first place. Redskins (6-4) at Cowboys (5-5): Dallas-Alex Smith's injury couldn't have happened at a worse time for the Redskins. They end up going against a first-place team anyway. (Talk about quirky scheduling!) Detroit played New England at home this year, which made the Patriots seem like a natural choice for the Lions' Thanksgiving opponent. And now they'll have a chance to make it five in a row by beating the Lions for the second time in 11 days. So, yeah, we've got a good Thanksgiving slate this year (even if the AFC is shut out of the holiday again for no good reason).īears (7-3) at Lions (4-6): Chicago-Alright, I'll admit it. And the middle game is a battle for first place in the NFC East. ![]() We've actually got three of the other six first-place teams playing on Thanksgiving, one in each game. 1 right now, but if the Saints win on Thanksgiving night, they drop to No. For the Rams, though, things are interesting. It doesn't affect their tiebreakers at all, and Pittsburgh's tie means they can't be tied with the Steelers to begin with. The loss really has very little impact on the Chiefs. ![]() 1 seed in their respective conferences right now. What's ironic about Kansas City and the Rams being the two teams with the Thanksgiving bye is that they're both the No. But the Rams and Chiefs sure need it after that sensational Monday night game. I can't even remember the last time a team had a bye this late (it was probably when there were 31 teams in the league and there had to be a bye every week). We're also usually done with byes by this point, which makes figuring out the playoff standings a lot less complicated. Thanksgiving is the traditional point where we start to see the playoff standings graphic at the end of the game every time a team in the hunt is playing. ![]()
