2023 NFL Week 13 winners and losers: Tyreek Hill, Shane Steichen steal the show, while Jets, Steelers flop

The NFL’s Week 13 slate has already provided lots of juicy storylines: The Falcons forced the Jets into their fourth quarterback of the year, the Lions survived a Saints comeback attempt, and the Dolphins exploded to boost a few players’ potential MVP chances.

Which coaches, players and teams were the biggest winners (or losers) of Week 13? Here’s a roundup:

Only quarterbacks win this award, blah, blah, blah. If anyone in Miami deserves another look, it’s “Cheetah,” who torched the Commanders to make 157 yards and two deep scores look easy. Anytime Tua Tagovailoa shines, this man paves the way.

Anyone who tuned in should’ve expected this. But man, even the Brandon Staley critics couldn’t have predicted a total of six (6) points between the two sides. Yes, the Chargers got the win, but did they really? And is Bill Belichick already applying to other jobs?

Winner: Shane Steichen’s Coach of the Year odds

Not many people have paid the Colts any mind since Anthony Richardson was lost for the year, but how about Steichen’s trickery — and Gardner Minshew’s clutch delivery — to propel a tight win over the Titans without Jonathan Taylor? This team has won four in a row and is 7-5!

Loser: The entire Jets franchise

So, let’s recap: Aaron Rodgers probably isn’t coming back this year, Tim Boyle was benched for Trevor Siemian, and the Jets scored eight points against the Falcons to lose their fifth straight. And that was just Sunday. What a disaster of a season.

Winner: The Lions’ schedule

Dan Campbell deserves credit for his late-game aggressiveness to seal a win over the Saints, but Detroit’s “D” should be thankful it got to go up against Derek Carr and Jameis Winston. The 9-3 record isn’t an accident, but the playoffs will bring next-level tests.

Loser: Mike Tomlin

The Steelers lost by multiple scores to a Cardinals team that entered with two wins in 12 games. They lost Kenny Pickett along the way,…
