While you were getting your holiday shopping done last weekend, Kirk Cousins led the Vikings to the biggest comeback in NFL history after trailing Indianapolis 33-0 at halftime.
Comeback Kirk: There’s still a heaping dose of skepticism about how good Minnesota actually is, but nobody up north is complaining about having 11 wins. An interesting couple of weeks ahead against the Giants and Packers, but we might not learn a ton more about Minnesota until the playoffs begin.
Streaking Lions: In Detroit, meanwhile, hopes are running high. After starting the season 1-6, Dan Campbell’s team is 6-1 and has Carolina and Chicago up next before closing the season against Green Bay. Hello. That looks like a playoff run waiting to happen. A lot of work left to do in the Motor City, but it’s there for the taking. Who would have thought that six weeks ago?
Who’s next?: San Francisco has won seven straight, clinched the NFC West and looks like a contender to win out with Washington, Las Vegas and Arizona left on the docket. There’s plenty of time to talk Super Bowl run. But here’s a question to ponder in the meantime: Who’s going to play quarterback for Kyle Shanahan next year? Trey Lance? Jimmy Garoppolo? Brock Purdy? Tom Brady, perhaps? The ripple effect from whatever decision the franchise comes to will have implications around the league.
Trevor time: In fact, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the betting and analytics favorites in the AFC South now. Wouldn’t have thought that after Week 9 in London against Denver. Since then, though, Trevor Lawrence has looked like an upper echelon quarterback. Over a 5-2 stretch, he’s thrown 14 touchdowns and one interception, rushed for a pair of scores and played to a quarterback rating of 108.2. Could be Tennessee at Jacksonville heads up for the division in Week 18.
Trap games?: There are no sure bets in the NFL, even for the gilded quarterback class in the AFC. This weekend, Josh Allen takes Buffalo to Chicago and Joe Burrow takes Cincinnati to New England. If both emerge unscathed, they’ll meet next week both still in the hunt for the conference’s No. 1 seed. The Bills can nab it if they win out, but Burrow and company have won six straight and, of course, are the defending AFC titleholder.
