The NFL calendar has now fully turned to December, and Week 14 delivered another weekend packed with momentum swings, heartbreak, and playoff-shaping results as the stretch run officially arrived. Thursday night opened with a fireworks-filled shootout between the league’s two Thanksgiving staples, and this time it was Detroit answering the call, outlasting Dallas for a much-needed win to stay firmly in the NFC race. Sunday brought snow, drama, and despair, as the Bills rallied late in a wild finish to hand the Bengals yet another gut punch, while Pittsburgh reclaimed control of the AFC North by knocking off Baltimore in a physical rivalry showdown. Heartbreak struck in Jacksonville, where Daniel Jones’ promising run with the Colts came to a devastating end after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in a lopsided loss that helped the Jaguars tighten their grip on the AFC South. Later in the afternoon, the Bears-Packers rivalry once again followed a familiar script, with Green Bay taking down Chicago to regain the NFC North lead. The weekend closed with a Texans stunner in Arrowhead and a Monday night overtime classic in Inglewood, where the Chargers upset the Eagles to keep their division hopes alive.
