Despite the Falcons’ loss, they will stay in first place in the NFC South. They swept the season series against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and own the tiebreaker if both teams finish the week at 6-6. The NFC West continues to stay close as the Arizona Cardinals lost to fall to 6-6 and stay a game back in the division and Wild Card.

The NFC West has one of the closest divisional races in the NFL this year. Here's where things stand in Week 13.

Sitting at 5-7, the Cowboys will need to continue winning and hope for some luck from other wild card contenders to get back into the playoff race. According to RJ Ochoa on X, Cowboys fans should be rooting for the following outcomes during the Week 13 Sunday slate.

Mayfield left the game briefly after getting his foot stepped on following a sack in the third quarter, but returned and hit some huge passes late in the fourth down and again in overtime to get the win. He was helped by rookie running back Bucky Irving, who had a breakout performance with 152 yards rushing.

Chase McLaughlin kicked a 30-yard field goal in overtime, Baker Mayfield overcame an ankle injury to lead four scoring drives in the fourth quarter and the extra period, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Carolina Panthers 26-23.

Carolina (3-8) is well out of the postseason hunt but has been playing better lately. The Panthers won back-to-back games before falling to the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs last week on a walk-off field goal.
