NFL roundup: Down 21-0, Cowboys rally to beat Eagles on final play

Field Level Media

Brandon Aubrey converted a 42-yard field goal as time expired and the Dallas Cowboys rallied from a 21-0 second-quarter deficit to beat the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 on Sunday.

Aubrey's kick, the second game-winner of his career, capped a nine-play, 49-yard drive in the final 1:35. The big play was Dak Prescott's 24-yard completion to George Pickens that got Dallas (5-5-1) to the Philadelphia 22 with 35 seconds left, forcing the Eagles to use their final timeouts and setting up the clutch field goal.

Prescott hit on 23 of 36 passes for 354 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. His 8-yard scramble with 11:40 left, complete with a somersault into the end zone, tied the game at 21. Pickens grabbed nine passes for 146 yards and a touchdown, while CeeDee Lamb had four receptions for 75 yards.

Jalen Hurts completed 27 of 39 throws for 289 yards and a touchdown while also running for two scores for the Eagles (8-3). A.J. Brown hauled in a season-best eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Saquon Barkley was held to a season-low 22 yards on 10 carries.

Chiefs 23, Colts 20 (OT)

Harrison Butker kicked five field goals, including the decisive 27-yarder with 1:57 left in overtime, to give host Kansas City a victory over Indianapolis.

Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards and one interception as Kansas City (6-5) prevailed in a one-score game for the first time in six opportunities this season. Last season, the Chiefs went 12-0, including a postseason victory, in such situations. Kareem Hunt rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries and Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 141 yards for Kansas City, which overcame an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit to end a two-game losing streak.

Daniel Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts (8-3). Michael Pittman Jr. and Drew Ogletree caught touchdown passes and Laiatu Latu had an interception. Indianapolis star Jonathan Taylor was held to 58 yards on 16 carries, with 27 yards coming on one handoff.

Packers 23, Vikings 6

Injury replacement Emanuel Wilson ran for a career-high 107 yards and two touchdowns to pace host Green Bay to a victory over Minnesota in an NFC North matchup.

Wilson, filling in for injured starter Josh Jacobs, was the first 100-yard rusher this season for the Packers. Green Bay (7-3-1) remains a half-game behind division-leading Chicago and a half-game ahead of defending division champion Detroit. The game against the Vikings was the first of five against division rivals in a seven-game span.

Minnesota (4-7) managed just 145 yards of total offense in its fifth loss over the last six games. J.J. McCarthy, making his sixth career start, completed 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions with a passer rating of 34.2. McCarthy was under near-constant pressure and sacked five times.

Lions 34, Giants 27 (OT)

Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 264 yards and three touchdowns, including a 69-yard TD run in overtime, as host Detroit turned aside New York's upset attempt.

Gibbs also had a 49-yard scoring run and a 3-yard touchdown reception for the Lions (7-4). Jared Goff passed for 279 yards and two scores, while Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes -- including his 500th career reception -- for 149 yards and a touchdown.

Detroit kicker Jake Bates' 59-yard field goal in the final minute sent the game to OT. Jameis Winston threw for 366 yards and two scores and also caught a TD pass for the Giants (2-10), who have lost six straight. Wan'Dale Robinson caught nine passes for 156 yards and a score.

Ravens 23, Jets 10

Derrick Henry ran for two third-quarter touchdowns and Baltimore posted its fifth straight win, stopping visiting New York.

Baltimore (6-5) moved into a tie with Pittsburgh for first place in the AFC North, after the Steelers fell to the Bears in Chicago. New York (2-9) suffered its second straight loss.

Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards for the Ravens, while Tyrod Taylor was 17 of 28 for 222 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Jets. New York running back Breece Hall accounted for 119 yards from scrimmage, although he was held to 44 yards on 16 rushes.

Patriots 26, Bengals 20

Drake Maye completed 22 of 35 passes for 294 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and New England held on for a win over host Cincinnati.

Hunter Henry caught seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots (10-2), who won their ninth game in a row. Andy Borregales made four field goals.

Joe Flacco completed 19 of 37 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Bengals (3-8). Chase Brown had 19 carries for 107 yards.

Jaguars 27, Cardinals 24 (OT)

Trevor Lawrence passed for 256 yards and three touchdowns while overcoming three interceptions and four turnovers, and Cam Little's 52-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime gave Jacksonville a victory over Arizona in Phoenix.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who threw for 317 yards and a touchdown, advanced the Cardinals to the Jaguars' 42-yard line on their final drive before throwing two incompletions. Michael Wilson had 10 receptions for 118 yards and Trey McBride had nine for 79 yards for Arizona (3-8).

Travis Etienne had 86 yards rushing and scored on a 15-yard pass on the Jaguars' first drive of the game, which covered 97 yards. Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers also caught touchdowns for Jacksonville (7-4).

Browns 24, Raiders 10

In his first career NFL start, highly publicized rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders did just enough to push Cleveland to its first road win of the season with a victory over Las Vegas.

Sanders mostly stayed out of trouble in his debut, completing 11 of 20 for 209 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Browns (3-8). The 23-year-old threw his first career touchdown pass with 8:18 remaining in the fourth quarter, connecting with running back Dylan Sampson on a screen pass that Sampson promptly ran 66 yards into the end zone.

The star of the show, however, was Cleveland's defensive front. The Browns tallied 10 sacks, completely stifling the Raiders (2-9). Las Vegas quarterback Geno Smith completed 30 of 44 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown toss to rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, who gained just 50 yards on 17 carries for an average of 2.9 yards per carry.

Bears 31, Steelers 28

Caleb Williams passed for 239 yards and three touchdowns and Kyle Monangai rushed for a score to lift surging Chicago past visiting Pittsburgh.

The NFC North-leading Bears (8-3) stretched their winning streak to four, with each victory coming by one score. D.J. Moore led the team with five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Monangai rushed 12 times for 48 yards.

Chicago withstood a late rally from the Steelers (6-5), who fell into a tie with Baltimore atop the AFC North. Mason Rudolph started in place of Aaron Rodgers, who was unable to play with a left wrist fracture that forced him from last week's win against Cincinnati. Rudolph finished 24 of 31 for 171 yards with a touchdown and interception. Kenneth Gainwell gained 92 yards on 10 carries, and Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf rushed for scores.

Falcons 24, Saints 10

Kirk Cousins passed for two touchdowns and visiting Atlanta ended a five-game losing streak by defeating New Orleans.

Cousins completed 16 of 23 passes for 199 yards for the Falcons (4-7) as he filled in for Michael Penix Jr., who suffered a season-ending knee injury a week earlier. Star running back Bijan Robinson had 107 total yards on 16 touches for Atlanta.

Tyler Shough passed for 243 of the 293 total yards for the Saints (2-9), who did not score an offensive touchdown. Running back Alvin Kamara left the game after injuring a knee in the first quarter and did not return. Chris Olave led New Orleans with 70 yards on nine receptions.

Seahawks 30, Titans 24

Sam Darnold threw a pair of touchdown passes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle defeated Tennessee in Nashville.

Smith-Njigba, the NFL's leading receiver, had eight catches for 167 yards for the Seahawks (8-3). Darnold, who threw four interceptions in a 21-19 loss last week to the Los Angeles Rams, was 16 of 26 for 244 yards. Kenneth Walker III rushed for a game-high 71 yards on 11 carries.

Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in this spring's draft, was 28 of 42 for 256 passing yards and a touchdown and rushed for a team-high 37 yards and a score for the Titans (1-10), who suffered their sixth straight defeat. Ward threw a 1-yard TD pass to Chimere Dike with 43 seconds remaining, but the ensuing onside kick didn't go 10 yards and Seattle ran out the clock.

Value Picks: Week 12

Player Notes
Quinshon Judkins Nov 23 9:50pm CT
Quinshon Judkins

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins averaged a paltry 2.9 yards per carry and had 47 rushing yards on 16 carries in the 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but he saved his day for fantasy managers by scoring twice on the ground in the first half in Week 12. The 22-year-old was not targeted in the passing game and has not caught a pass in the last two games. Judkins also suffered a head injury in the fourth quarter and was sent to the medical tent, but he was cleared before the end of the contest. The Ohio State product's head injury allowed Dylan Sampson to get some run late in the contest, and he took advantage of it by ripping off a 66-yard touchdown catch. Judkins hasn't been very efficient on the ground in the last three games, but as long as he's healthy enough to play in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, where he'll remain an RB2 play in fantasy football.

Michael Wilson Nov 23 9:40pm CT
Michael Wilson

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has immediately become a legitimate contributor for the Cardinals and fantasy managers in the last two games with Marvin Harrison Jr. out following an appendectomy. For the second straight week, Wilson had double-digit receptions (10) and over 100 yards (118) on a team-15 targets in the team's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Week 12. Last week, the 25-year-old caught 15 of his 18 targets for 185 yards. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has latched onto Wilson as his top target with Harrison sidelined, making him a popular waiver-wire pickup last week. If Wilson is still available in your league, he needs to be scooped up immediately. It's unclear if Harrison will be ready to return in Week 13 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but even if he does come back, Wilson should remain involved in a fantastic matchup against a Bucs defense that has given up tons of yardage the last few weeks through the air.

Alvin Kamara Nov 23 9:40pm CT
Alvin Kamara

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara's (knee) MRI exam showed an MCL sprain, a source told Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football. Kamara avoided a major injury in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12, but it's unclear if he'll be forced to miss time. It's possible that the 30-year-old misses time, but he is not dealing with a long-term injury. Fantasy managers should expect Kamara to miss at least one game, which means that rookie Devin Neal would be in line for lead-back duties in a strong matchup in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. Kamara has been a major disappointment for fantasy managers in 2025 in a struggling Saints offense. He had only three carries for 11 yards and caught both his targets for four yards on Sunday before leaving early. Neal finished with seven carries for 18 yards and caught five of seven targets for 43 yards through the air. Taysom Hill had a team-high 10 carries for 17 yards and will also be much more involved in the backfield for the Saints if Kamara misses time going forward.

Darnell Mooney Nov 23 9:20pm CT
Darnell Mooney

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney made an immediate impact with Drake London (knee) out in the team's Week 12 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Although Mooney only had three targets in the 24-10 victory on the road, he made his three receptions count, leading the team with 74 receiving yards and finding the end zone for the first time in 2025. The 28-year-old's 74 yards were also a season high. Efficiency could be a problem going forward with quarterback Kirk Cousins taking over for the injured Michael Penix Jr. (knee) for the rest of the year, but Mooney could have more opportunities as Atlanta's WR1 with London dealing with a PCL sprain. London is considered week-to-week and could miss the team's Week 13 contest against the New York Jets. Coming into Sunday's game, Mooney had exactly one catch in three of the last four contests. However, he'll be in play again next week as a WR4/flex in fantasy if London misses a second straight game.

Baker Mayfield Nov 23 9:20pm CT
Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday night's contest against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium due to a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Mayfield injured his left shoulder near the end of the first half of Week 12 and is unlikely to return in the second half. The 30-year-old veteran went 9-for-19 passing for 41 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the first half, adding 19 rushing yards on four carries. Mayfield's second interception came on a Hail Mary attempt with time expiring in the second quarter. The Bucs were trailing 31-7 going into the second half, which could play into Tampa's decision to sit Mayfield for the entire second half. Teddy Bridgewater will take over the rest of the way. As of now, it's unclear if Mayfield's shoulder injury is serious enough to put him in danger of missing the Week 13 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Kenneth Gainwell Nov 23 9:10pm CT
Kenneth Gainwell

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell had his second straight big game in his team's 31-28 Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, recording 10 carries for 92 yards and six receptions for 30 yards on six targets. The 26-year-old has emerged as a featured player in the Pittsburgh passing game in recent weeks, recording 13 receptions on 14 targets over the last two games. Notably, fellow Steelers running back Jaylen Warren did not earn a target in Week 12. Gainwell also out-gained Warren 92 yards to 68 yards on the ground, despite logging eight fewer carries. While Pittsburgh is likely to continue featuring both backs, Gainwell may be eating into Warren's playing time with his recent performance. For the season, Gainwell is now averaging over five yards per touch. He's worthy of flex consideration for fantasy managers heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Dylan Sampson Nov 23 8:50pm CT
Dylan Sampson

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson recorded 81 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on nine touches in his team's 24-10 Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 21-year-old delivered one of the biggest plays of the game in the fourth quarter when he took a short completion from Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders and turned it into a 66-yard catch-and-run touchdown. Sampson has provided the majority of his production this season in the passing game. Across 11 games, he's recorded 23 catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns on 27 targets. Fellow Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins remains the early-down rushing workhorse in Cleveland, limiting Sampson's upside. However, he's flashed upside as a pass-catching back that could keep him on deep-league radars down the stretch of the fantasy season. Cleveland will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

Jacoby Brissett Nov 23 8:40pm CT
Jacoby Brissett

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 33 of 49 pass attempts for 317 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions in his team's 27-24 overtime Week 12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Since taking over as the Cardinals' starting QB for the injured Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6, Brissett has led one of the league's highest-volume passing attacks. Over his last three games alone, the 32-year-old has attempted a whopping 150 passes. The consistently high volume of throws has helped Brissett put up some impressive counting stats. Across eight games (six starts) in 2025, he's thrown for 1,867 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions. As long as the Cardinals continue to turn to the air at a high rate, Brissett warrants starting consideration from fantasy managers, even in single-QB formats. Arizona will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 13.

Ashton Jeanty Nov 23 8:30pm CT
Ashton Jeanty

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had an underwhelming day on the ground in his team's Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns, recording just 50 rushing yards on 17 carries. However, the 21-year-old saved his fantasy production with a monster day as a receiver, recording eight catches for 58 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. With the Raiders' depleted offensive line struggling to open up holes in the ground game, receiving work has become an increasingly important part of Jeanty's repertoire in recent weeks. Across his last four games, Jeanty has hauled in 22 receptions for 135 yards and two touchdowns on 26 targets. He's been targeted eight times in each of the last two weeks. The Raiders' overall inability to consistently move the ball limits Jeanty's ceiling, but he still profiles as a high-volume fantasy RB2 heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

A.J. Brown Nov 23 8:20pm CT
A.J. Brown

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown delivered a vintage performance in his team's 24-21 Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, hauling in eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. The 28-year-old has spent most of the 2025 season publicly agitated by his role in Philadelphia's underwhelming pass game. However, Brown has now seen double-digit targets in each of the last two weeks. Across 10 games for the season, he's recorded 46 catches for 567 yards and four touchdowns on 75 targets. Brown's increased involvement in recent games could be a sign that he is getting back on the same page with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. While Brown hasn't provided the consistent production fantasy managers were hoping for before the start of the season, he remains a starting fantasy wide receiver heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

David Njoku Nov 23 8:13pm CT
David Njoku

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku went without a catch or target in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has been forced to reserve status in the Cleveland offense, as rookie Harold Fannin Jr. seems to have been the preferred tight end ever since training camp. For now, Njoku should be cut loose, as he has gone from fantasy TE1 to non-existent in less than a calendar year.

Jacoby Brissett

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 33 of his 49 pass attempts for 317 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 20 yards on three carries in a 27-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12.

Fantasy Spin: Brissett has now topped 300 passing yards in three of his six starts this season, and he has yet to throw for fewer than 250 yards as the starter. On the flip side, he did fail to throw multiple touchdowns for the first time since taking over under center, but Brissett is locked in as a high-end QB2 with QB1 upside.

Dameon Pierce Nov 23 8:10pm CT
Dameon Pierce

The Kansas City Chiefs are signing former Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce to their practice squad, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. He was recently cut loose by the Texans. Once a promising, young running back, Pierce endured a fall from grace and eventually became the odd man out in Houston's backfield. He went from having over 1,100 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie in 2022 to just 26 yards on 10 carries through four games this year. Although he's no longer an impact name in the NFL or fantasy football, the Chiefs hope they can tap into some of his potential, starting by getting him reps on the practice squad. Kansas City needed running back depth with Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined and Elijah Mitchell (healthy scratch) losing relevance. It's unlikely that Pierce will have any sort of short-term fantasy value in Kansas City, but the fresh start is promising nonetheless.

Travis Etienne Nov 23 8:00pm CT
Travis Etienne

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed for 86 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught three of his four targets for 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. After a bit of a lull earlier in the season, Etienne has bounced back as a highly effective RB1 in fantasy football ever since his bye week. In four games since the bye, he has 301 rushing yards, 80 receiving yards, and four touchdowns while ranking as the overall RB6 in PPR leagues during that span. Unlike last week, Etienne was able to fend off a strong game from backfield-mate Bhayshul Tuten this Sunday. It appears as though Etienne still has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Jacksonville, keeping him in the top-10 range for next week's matchup against a struggling Tennessee Titans run defense.

Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 23 of 36 pass attempts for 354 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also had nine rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The Cowboys were held scoreless until the final seconds of the first half, when Dallas finally started to chip into its 21-0 deficit. From there, Prescott led three touchdown drives and ultimately got the Cowboys in position to kick a game-winning field goal in overtime. The 32-year-old has seven total touchdowns over his last two games and ranks as the overall QB5 in fantasy scoring so far. He should continue to be started in all leagues ahead of an intriguing showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13.

George Pickens

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens caught all nine of his targets for 146 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old has drastically exceeded expectations in his first season with Dallas; not only does he have higher stats than superstar teammate CeeDee Lamb, but he's also been more productive than nearly every receiver in the league. He currently ranks as the overall WR3 in PPR leagues this season, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Pickens' next chance of producing will come in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. He continues to be a must-start WR1 in all fantasy leagues despite Kansas City allowing the second-fewest points to wide receivers this year.

Alvin Kamara

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) will undergo an MRI as the team continues to evaluate his status, according to Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football. Kamara exited during the first half of Sunday's loss against the Atlanta Falcons and was quickly ruled out. He finished the game with just five touches and 15 scrimmage yards. New Orleans can't exactly afford another long-term running back injury, as Kendre Miller (knee) is already on injured reserve. If Kamara misses extended time, the Saints will be forced to proceed with rookie Devin Neal as their lead back. Neal has intriguing draft capital as a sixth-round pick, but he had just 17 total touches prior to this week. Kamara will have seven days to get healthy before the Saints return to action against the Miami Dolphins next Sunday.

New York Giants QB Jameis Winston completed 18 of his 36 passes for 366 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 34-27 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 12. He also ran four times for 13 yards and caught a 33-yard touchdown pass.

Fantasy Spin: Winston was making his second start in place of Jaxson Dart, and he certainly put on a show. Winston has never been afraid to push the ball down the field, but his playing style has often led to better fantasy results than results for his actual team. If Dart misses more time, Winston can be viewed as a high-risk, high-reward QB2.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff was 28-of-42 for 279 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in a Week 12 OT win over the New York Giants.

Fantasy Spin: Goff topped 250 yards passing for the fourth straight week and threw for multiple touchdowns in his seventh game. He has 23 touchdowns and five interceptions this season. His '25 numbers are solid but not as good as '24 and because he's not a running threat, he's not a certain QB1 in most fantasy formats. However, you know what you're getting with Goff if you put him in the lineup.
