Week 12 provided an incredible Dallas Cowboys comeback, or was it an epic Philadelphia Eagles implosion?

Postseason Mahomes arrived to rescue the Kansas City's season as the Bears keep to impress as they extend their victorious streak.

And did Sanders perform enough on his debut professional start to secure the full-time role in Cleveland?

Let's take a look at the best of the action in the league.

Analysis – Dallas Rally or Philly Fail?

Dallas were trailing badly at 21-0 down versus the reigning championship champions, so how on earth did they engineer their joint-best comeback ever?

The emotions of a first home game after Marshawn Kneeland untimely passing may have played a part, but technically it was a mixture of Dak Prescott resolve and a defensive unit that cashed in on uncommon errors by the Philadelphia.

Dak eclipsed Romo’s records for passing yards (now 34,378) and game-winning drives (twenty-five) with an dynamic display – his diving score embodying his all-action showing.

Philly wasted a lead of 21 points or more for the first time since nineteen ninety-nine, with only their second game with several turnovers this season – the other being another bad NFC East loss at the Giants.

In addition to fourteen penalties for ninety-six yards, the attacking struggles that hit Hurts after what – for him – was an explosive beginning was huge. He had only thrown for 200-plus yards in 4 games prior to the weekend, he had more than 150 in the first half alone in Texas.

However from the time the Eagles went twenty-one to zero up their offense fell apart spectacularly – with four consecutive punts, a failed three-point attempt and then a turnover handing opportunity after opportunity to the Dallas.

Philadelphia’s defence is excellent, it truly is, but an offence that's not surpassed twenty-one points in 5 of 7 games (3 losses) is now a major concern, as the pieces are all there but it's simply not clicking.

Sirianni’s approach is all about securing the key moments, the defense keeps them in it and what offence there is does just about sufficient – if it cannot even do that and now the discipline and possession security is breaking down, there could be problems in the future.

In Focus – Playoff Patrick Appears Early to Rescue Chiefs

It wasn't quite as extreme, but Kansas City's eleven-point recovery in the final period versus a powerful Colts squad was very impressive – and may have just saved their campaign.

How big was it? Well, the NFL's Next Gen Stats now give the Kansas City a 58% probability of reaching the postseason, when a loss on the weekend would have dropped that number to twenty-eight percent.

It’s no surprise the playoff version of Patrick Mahomes arrived, passing for 235 yards in the latter half by itself and leading three scoring drives in their last 4 possessions to seal it in extra time.

A few huge throws and daring runs are commonplace for Patrick in the postseason, but currently the Chiefs are in post-season form – at six and five and only tenth in the conference standings.

This was more like the old Kansas City though, with a initial close win of the season after dropping 5 already – they secured eleven of them the previous season so, if that belief comes back, this Chiefs Kingdom may not be finished so soon.

Discussion – Can Bears Become Rulers of the Division?

You can no longer overlook the Chicago Bears any longer. A victory over the Steelers, without Aaron Rodgers, kept them top of the division and at eight and three – holding the same standing as the Eagles.

They appear threatening on both sides of the field, with a defence that leads the league in picks and total turnovers and, in Caleb Williams, a young player now used to securing close games.

He may still be shaky, surrendering a score after a turnover in his own end zone – but he also threw three touchdowns and, with already five final period comebacks this year, he knows how to finish the game.

Green Bay are in hot chase in the NFC North after overpowering the Minnesota and the Lions are right there after beating the New York in extra time with a monster game from Gibbs.

The Bears are interestingly the most reliable with 8 victories in nine, but as they travel to the Super Bowl winners on Thanksgiving we'll see exactly how good they truly are.

Look Ahead – Exciting Holiday in Prospect

It appears among the most exciting holiday line-ups for a long time, with every game loaded with playoff consequences.

Detroit welcome the Green Bay in the traditional curtain-raiser in Detroit, prior to a rare visit back to Dallas for the Kansas City, who started out life as the Dallas Texans way back in the sixties before moving to Missouri.

Sunday's comeback teams are both clinging to playoff hopes but have minimal margin for error – so this will have a playoff feel.

What about the Baltimore Ravens? An ugly win over the New York in fact has them top of the division after starting one and five and looking dead and buried.

Can Sanders Keep His Starting Role?

Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski batted away inquiries on whether Sanders had performed enough in his debut NFL outing to keep the starting job when Dillon Gabriel returns.

But the issue will continue to be raised as Sanders became the first Browns quarterback to win his debut NFL start after Eric Zeier in 1999 – with seventeen additional first-year quarterbacks unsuccessful to do so since.

It came just the Raiders, and with the assistance of an almost aggressive Cleveland defense recording 10 sacks, but Cleveland's offense needs a leader, a figurehead to build belief.
