NFL Week 13: Complete Scores And Highlights From Sunday’s Action

Yep, just mindin’ m’own business, makin’ sure the home audience gets all th’ dang sound o’ this here football game. Better not -- HEY A BALL

Almost had it, gol’ dang it.

If the Cowboys can pull this game out of the fire, they will still have some hope to make the playoffs as a wild-card team. For Philadelphia, it’s all about respect at this point.

Meet the Dallas Cowboys

Same story, different year for Dallas. Once again, the Cowboys were touted as a team to watch in the offseason, only to come out and be exactly who they have been for years.

The NFL playoff picture is becoming clearer with each passing week with several spots still open with four weeks to play.

Here’s what went down in Week 13:

Except he didn’t. Bailey’s field goal didn’t count because Garrett ICED HIS OWN KICKER. Seriously, this is a thing that happened. The clock was already stopped, and Garrett called a timeout at the last moment. He even looked like he was going to ice an opponent’s kicker.

We all know what happens next. Bailey missed the second attempt and the score remained tied. The chance to win it in regulation was gone, all thanks to whatever was going through Garrett’s mind at that moment.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kyle Williams showed the world just how fast he is. Williams caught a short pass from quarterback Alex Smith, who beat a Rams blitz on the play. With the ball in hand, Williams turned up the field, hitting the afterburners for a stunning 48 yards after the catch and a 56-yard touchdown.

The 49ers have scored two touchdowns today, both coming on highlight plays of more than 50 yards. Williams’ touchdown gave them a 26-0 lead over the Rams.

Nicks hung onto the ball for the score, cutting into Green Bay’s lead. Prior to his touchdown catch demonstration, Nicks also showed the folks at home the proper way to celebrate a first down catch, or at least one of them.

Was Nicks doing his own version of “All the single receivers?”

Calling it a catch is generous, very generous. Jennings never looked like he had possession of it, certainly not control of it. See for yourself in the video.

Outside of the Packer partisans, you can search far and wide and will not find many who agree with the call.

No lead is safe against the Green Bay Packers. The New York Giants were reminded of that simple truth today. After Eli Manning connected with tight end Travis Beckum to give the Giants a lead, Green Bay answered with a touchdown of their own.

Aaron Rodgers hit Donald Driver for a 13-yard touchdown with 1:17 left in the first half. Check out Driver’s touchdown right here.

The St. Louis Rams have few bright spots in their disappointing season. However, it hasn’t been completely devoid of notable performances. Defensive end Chris Long is in the midst of a career year. He has two sacks in the game so far, giving him 12 for the season.

Here is a video of his 12th sack on Alex Smith to end the second quarter of today’s game against the 49ers.

Green Bay Packers running back James Starks was taken off the field on a cart in today’s game against the New York Giants. Starks has an ankle injury. It is being reported that his return to the game is questionable.

Describing his return as questionable is probably a bit charitable considering he was removed from the field on a cart and taken to the Green Bay locker room.

San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore is now in the history books for his team. Early in today’s game against the St. Louis Rams, Gore broke the franchise record for rushing yards, passing the legendary Joe Perry as the team’s all-time leading rusher.

Here is the video of Gore’s record-breaking efforts happening today.

The New York Giants drew first blood in a big game against the undefeated Green Bay Packers. On the first possession of the game, quarterback Eli Manning hit tight end Travis Beckum for a 67-yard touchdown. That made it 7-0 in favor of the Giants, but Green Bay would add a touchdown of their own a little later in the quarter.

Here is the video of Beckum’s touchdown catch.

Yates had a solid game in his first career start, completing 12-25 passes for 188 yards and 1 TD while using his athleticism to buy time in the pocket.

The only mistake he made, a pick-six in the fourth quarter, was called back because of a penalty on Atlanta in the secondary.

The Browns announced that McCoy’s return to the game is probable (via Twitter).

Cleveland Plain-Dealer’s Mary Kay Cabot reports from the game: “Trainers working on Browns Colt McCoy on bench, looks like right leg, possibly high ankle. no official word yet.” After he was treated, McCoy then up and begun throwing a ball on the sideline.

Miami led 34-0 in the third quarter before the Raiders saved face with a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter, by which point the result had long been decided. The loss ended a three-game win streak for Oakland and dropped the Raiders to 7-5.

Interestingly enough, Newton’s other statistics were not particularly eye popping. The No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft rushed for 54 yards and was 12 of 21 for 204 yards passing. But it was plenty in this game, as the Panthers defense did a good job of putting the offense in strong position. The Panthers scored on all five of their red-zone possessions.

After their star WR was forced out of the game with a hamstring injury, the Texans marched down the field with a 19-play 85-yard drive that took 10:41 off the clock.

The drive was almost over before it began, when the Falcons returned a Yates interception for a TD, only to have it overturned by a defensive holding call in the secondary, the second Atlanta defensive touchdown that’s been called back today.
