The twelfth week delivered an epic Cowboys rally, or was it an epic Philadelphia Eagles implosion?

Postseason Mahomes arrived to salvage the Chiefs' season as the Bears continue to impress as they continue their victorious run.

And did Sanders perform enough on his debut professional start to secure the full-time role in Ohio?

Let's take a look at the best of the action in the NFL.

Analysis – Cowboys Comeback or Philly Fail?

Dallas found themselves down and out at 21-0 behind versus the defending championship champions, how exactly did they engineer their equal-largest recovery in history?

Sentiment of a first home fixture since a teammate’s untimely death may have played a part, but technically it was a mixture of Prescott’s resolve and a defence that pounced on rare mistakes by the Philadelphia.

Dak eclipsed Tony Romo records for passing yards (now 34,378) and game-winning possessions (25) with an dynamic display – his diving touchdown embodying his all-action showing.

Philly squandered a advantage of twenty-one points or more for the initial time since 1999, with just their second game with several giveaways this season – the other being a disappointing NFC East loss at the New York.

In addition to 14 penalties for 96 yards, the offensive struggles that hit Hurts after what – for him – was an fast start was significant. He'd only thrown for 200-plus yards in four games before Sunday, he had more than 150 in the first half by himself in Dallas.

Yet from the time the Eagles went twenty-one to zero up their offense derailed dramatically – with four straight kicks, a failed field goal and then a turnover handing opportunity after chance to the Cowboys.

Philadelphia’s defence is brilliant, it really is, but an offense that's not eclipsed 21 points in 5 of 7 games (3 losses) is now a major concern, because the components are all there but it's simply not clicking.

Sirianni’s game is all about winning the big moments, the defence maintains them in it and what offence there is does barely sufficient – if it cannot even do that and now the discipline and ball protection is failing, there may be problems in the future.

In Focus – Playoff Patrick Shows Up Prematurely to Save Kansas City

It wasn’t quite as extreme, but Kansas City's 11-point comeback in the fourth quarter against a strong Indianapolis squad was hugely impressive – and may have just saved their campaign.

How big was it? Well, the NFL's advanced analytics now assign the Chiefs a 58% probability of making the playoffs, when a loss on Sunday would have dropped that number to twenty-eight percent.

No wonder the postseason form of Mahomes arrived, passing for 235 yards in the second half alone and guiding 3 point-scoring possessions in their last 4 possessions to seal it in overtime.

Some big throws and daring scrambles are commonplace for Patrick in the playoffs, but currently the Kansas City are in playoff mode – at 6-5 and only tenth in the AFC standings.

That was closer to the former Kansas City though, with a first one-score win of the year after losing 5 previously – they won eleven of them last year so, if that belief returns, this Chiefs Kingdom may not be done just yet.

Talking Point – Are Chicago Be Rulers of the North?

You can no longer overlook the Chicago Bears any longer. A win over the Steelers, minus Aaron Rodgers, maintained them first of the division and at eight and three – holding the identical record as the Eagles.

They appear dangerous on each side of the field, with a defence that leads the NFL in interceptions and total takeaways and, in Caleb Williams, a young player now accustomed to securing tight games.

He may at times be inconsistent, surrendering a touchdown after a turnover in his team’s end zone – but he also passed for three touchdowns and, with already 5 final period rallies this year, he understands how to finish the game.

Green Bay are in close pursuit in the NFC North after dominating the Minnesota and Detroit are in contention after overcoming the New York in extra time with a huge game from Jahmyr Gibbs.

Chicago are strangely the most consistent with eight wins in nine, but as they travel to the Super Bowl champs on the holiday we'll see just how good they really are.

Look Ahead – Thrilling Holiday in Prospect

It appears among the most exciting Thanksgiving schedules for a long time, with each game loaded with playoff consequences.

Detroit host the Packers in the traditional opener in Michigan, before a unusual trip back to Texas for the Kansas City, who began life as the Dallas Texans way back in the 1960s before relocating to Missouri.

The weekend’s rally kings are both holding on to postseason aspirations but have minimal room for error – so this will have a post-season atmosphere.

And how about the Ravens? An ugly victory over the New York in fact has them leading of the AFC North after beginning one and five and looking finished.

Will Shedeur Sanders Keep His Starting Role?

Cleveland Browns head coach Stefanski batted away questions on whether Sanders had performed sufficiently in his debut professional start to maintain the starting job when Dillon Gabriel comes back.

Yet the issue will keep being raised as Sanders became the first Cleveland signal-caller to secure his debut NFL game since Zeier in 1999 – with 17 additional first-year signal callers failing to do so afterward.

It was only the Las Vegas, and with the help of an almost aggressive Cleveland defence getting ten sacks, but Cleveland's offence requires a director, a figurehead to build confidence.

And confidence is something not lacking in Shedeur, who told a network {
