Week 12 NFL takeaways: Playoff hopes dim for Raiders, Eagles

The Raiders were blown out by the Jets, and the Eagles couldn't get anything going against the Seahawks. The Panthers-Saints and Lions-Redskins matchups both ended with game-winning field goals, and the Bills got to eight wins and earned some cushion in the AFC playoff race.

All that and more in Week 12's biggest takeaways from NFL Nation.

The Seahawks' defense is hitting its stride at the right time. Over the past two games, that group has allowed a combined two touchdowns and four field goals, and one of the TDs was during garbage time in the win over the Eagles on Sunday.
