Top Stories of the week
Hair-raising The Ravens had no answer for Clay Matthews in the Packers' critical win Monday night. But, our 5 keys say he had lots of help in strengthening Green Bay's playoff push. Full Story...
Total recall Andy Reid says a full team effort lifted his Eagles over Atlanta. See how the other NFL bosses recalled Week 13 in Coaches Corner.
Tough 'Skins Though they couldn't derail the Saints Express, the Redskins have stepped up their play, NFL on FOX's Howie Long says.
'Tis the season Another December, another loss. Looks like the ghosts of winters past are back to haunt the 'Boys once again, Alex Marvez says.
Games of the week
VS.
Saints 33, Redskins 30 (OT)
The Skinny: It takes a little luck to put together a 12-game unbeaten streak, and the Saints certainly got their share in this game. When a lousy punt bounces off the other guys and into your hands, you know you're having a good day.
VS.
Giants 31, Cowboys 24
The Skinny: Oh-oh... another December loss for Tony Romo and the Cowboys. This one sets up a tight NFC East stretch run with Dallas, the Eagles (both 8-4) and the Giants (7-5).
VS.
Dolphins 22, Patriots 21
The Skinny: The Pats take a 21-10 lead early in the third quarter and can't close the deal. Chad Henne had 335 yards passing for the Dolphins, and it's not like he's throwing to Clayton and Duper.

Hot
QB D. Brees, NO (419 yards, 2 TDs)
RB J. Stewart, CAR (120 yards, 1 TD)

Quote of the week

It's extra special against Dallas. That's absolutely a team I can't stand. I've been hating Dallas ever since I knew anything about football.
