San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers rolled on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles, blowing them out. Brock Purdy 314 passing yards and four touchdown passes. Christian McCaffrey had 133 total yards from scrimmage and a touchdown.
The way they are playing, they look unbeatable.
Los Angeles Rams
This was a close game that got out of hand in the final couple of minutes. The Rams beat the Browns at home 36-19.
Matthew Stafford threw three touchdown passes, including a three-yard scoring throw to Cooper Kupp to give the Rams an eight-point lead with 3:48 left.
The Browns turned the ball over on downs, which led to a Kyren Williams touchdown run and they added a safety after that to turn it into a blowout.
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks played a heck of a game in Dallas, where the Cowboys had won all their previous games by at least 20 points.
Geno Smith threw three touchdown passes in the loss, but after taking a 35-27 lead early in the fourth quarter, they turned the ball over on downs on three consecutive drives.
Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals did not turn the ball over, had a defensive takeaway and turned that turnover and a turnover on downs at the goalline into two touchdown drives. James Conner rushed for 105 yards and two scores in his return to Pittsburgh and the Cardinals won there for the first time since 1969 and picked up their third win of the year.
Coming up in Week 14
- The Cardinals have their bye week, finally
- The Rams will be on the road to face the 9-3 Baltimore Ravens.
- The Seahawks will be on the road to face the 49ers.
