Week 12 in the NFL began with two blowout wins on Thanksgiving. On Sunday, the Falcons followed suit by routing the Raiders in a 37-point victory. The Giants got win No. 4 to move into first in the NFC East, the Titans made a statement in the AFC South and the Patriots kept their dim playoff hopes alive with a last-second field goal. Elsewhere, the Browns escaped an upset scare and the Vikings pulled off a game-winning drive to get by the Panthers.
In the afternoon slate, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs bested Tom Brady and the Buccaneers and the 49ers earned a division win against the Rams.
