Eagles Hang 40 Points & Franchise Rushing Record (363 yards) Against Packers on SNF; Week 12 Features 10 Games Decided by 1 Score

Week 12 in the NFL was anything but boring. After a trio of thrilling games were all decided by one score on Thanksgiving Day, seven of Sunday’s 12 matchups also came down to a one-possession finish. Two games went to overtime and another two games were decided by one point via two-point conversions in the final minutes. To top things off, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles hung 40 points on the Packers on Sunday Night Football thanks to a franchise record 363 rushing yards, including 300 combined from Hurts and RB Miles Sanders. Philly is the first team to 10 wins, but a number of teams are hitting their strides as the calendar nears December. Here are the top performers and all the scores and highlights from Week 12.
