Detailed Recap:

The week's top story is the weekly following of the undefeated Los Angeles Rams. Week 13 was no different that the other 12 weeks as the Rams win their 13th straight game after beating the Cleveland Browns, 34 to 17.

As for teams we have been keeping an eye on and following, the Buffalo Bills fall from grace continues as they fell to 5-8 on the season after 31 to 17 loss to the New York Giants. The Bills can at best finish 8-8, their winning record hopes have officially been killed. Sorry Buffalo!

Next up we had a very exciting game between the visiting Philadelphia Eagles and the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals looked like they had the game won with a 3 point lead over Philadelphia, but their defense must have gotten a little too relaxed. The Eagles managed to kick a field goal on the last play of the game to win 20 to 19 over St. Louis.

The final story for this week is the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings game. This was the Vikings chance to tie the Packers record and start making their push for the NFC Central Division title. This, however, was not the case as the Packers got a little more breathing room on their divisional rivals after a 23 to 13 win over Minnesota.

The AFC division seems to be taking a more permanent shape as each week goes by, but the NFC division is still highly up in the air as a lot of teams are neck and neck. I hope to see everyone here on Tuesday for Week 14's breakdown.
