NFL Week 12 Highlights

Chicago had another tough day as the Vikings edged out the Bears 29-26 in overtime. Quarterback Sam Darnold stepped up big, completing 22 of 34 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns. This was his second consecutive week in which he’s led his team to victory when it needed him most. Despite making some big plays, the Bears just couldn’t seal the deal, losing their fifth straight game.

In Indianapolis, the Colts struggled to find their rhythm against the Lions, ultimately losing 24-6. Rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson faced too much pressure, leading to a sloppy performance, and the Colts need to make better use of running back Jonathan Taylor to aid their offense moving forward.

The Chiefs managed to get a narrow win against the Panthers, 20-19, but it wasn’t a smooth ride. Half of their wins this season have been by just a single score, raising concerns in the locker room. Patrick Mahomes did his part, making key plays, but the team has to find a way to wrap up games more convincingly.

The Packers enjoyed a strong showing, proving their worth against the 49ers with a solid 17-7 lead at halftime, capitalizing on missed opportunities by the 49ers due to injuries to key players. Meanwhile, Josh Jacobs shined, racking up three rushing touchdowns and demonstrating why he is a vital part of the Green Bay offense.

On the defensive side, the Seahawks have found their stride recently, completely shutting down the Cardinals’ offense and securing a decisive victory. Leonard Williams played a standout role with 2.5 sacks, showcasing the talent the team hoped to add with his recent trade.

As the season heads into the home stretch, teams continue to jockey for position, and every win counts as the playoffs loom on the horizon. With the Thanksgiving games approaching, fans are eager to see how their beloved teams will perform after this thrilling NFL Week 12.
