Thurs night & early games (00:27)
MIN 36, PIT 28 (Thurs)
Dalvin Cook wasn't even supposed to play (shoulder)
Dilemma for those with shares in him: whether to play him or not
For those who did, you were greatly rewarded with a performance for the ages
KJ Osborn steps into the Adam Thielen role nicely; a must add & must start if Thielen remains out
Big Ben with a pretty good game under a lot of duress
Najee Harris bounces back with a fine game
Is Chase Claypool the new AB in terms of attitude?
Next up: MIN visit CHI (Mon), PIT hosts TEN
CLE 24, BAL 22
Nick Chubb & the rest of the CLE run game in a bit of a slump as of late
May lead to Baker Mayfield throwing the ball more
Jarvis Landry playing well lately; a Donovan Peoples-Jones appearance
Lamar Jackson sprained his ankle; enter Tyler Huntley who did an admirable job
Mark Andrews with a monster performance regardless of QB situation; Rashod Bateman improving
Next up: CLE hosts LV (Sat), BAL hosts GB
TEN 20, JAC 0
Ryan Tannehill continues to let the run game dictate the passing game
D'Onta Foreman getting the early down looks, 3rd down timeshare between Jeremy McNichols & Dontrell Hilliard
Julio Jones (hamstring) back off of IR
Trevor Lawrence regressing mightily despite having some pretty good weapons at WR
Leads me to believe Urban Meyer is one & done as a NFL head coach
JAC run game stifled completely
Next up: TEN goes to PIT, JAC hosts HOU
KC 48, LV 9
Pat Mahomes does just enough to get his team the win
Solid contribution from the KC run game on a whole with all 3 RBs finding the endzone
Quiet game for both Travis Kelce & Tyreek Hill
KC defense playing lights out in recent weeks forcing 4 LV fumbles
LV run game ineffective
With Darren Waller out, Hunter Renfrow has been balling
Next up: KC goes to LAC (Thurs), LV visits CLE (Sat)
NO 30, NYJ 9
Taysom Hill proving to be a dual threat at QB
Alvin Kamara quieting the questions about his effectiveness with Hill at the controls
Zach Wilson slowly improving
NYJ run game not a factor; help is on the way (Michael Carter returning for Week 15)
Braxton Berrios seems to be Wilson's WR1 at this time
Next up: NO goes to TB (Sun night), NYJ travels MIA
DAL 27, WAS 20
Not the performance you wanna see from Dak Prescott
Ezekiel Elliott not taking advantage of absence of Tony Pollard (foot); do you bench Zeke?

Antonio Gibson & Terry McLaurin held in check by DAL defense
Next up: DAL visits NYG, WAS goes to PHI
ATL 29, CAR 21
Matt Ryan kind of a game manager in this one
Cordarrelle Patterson with a solid game; Mike Davis still lingering & seeing a good amount of looks
Cam Newton shuffled in & out of the lineup; can't really trust him especially in these fantasy playoffs
Chuba Hubbard appears to be the RB to own & rely upon
Robby Anderson finally shows up; a must add I guess (could do a lot worse)
Next up: ATL heads to SF, CAR goes to BUF
SEA 33, HOU 13
Russell Wilson looking like his old self again
Rashaad Penny appears to be RB1 for SEA despite presence of Alex Collins & newly acquired Adrian Peterson
Tyler Lockett on a tear; DK Metcalf in a deep slump
Davis Mills with a fine game despite the final score
HOU run game still a dumpster fire, pass catching helps their numbers though
