Week 13 saw plenty of drama in the NFL, with the 49ers thumping the Eagles in an NFC Championship rematch, the Chiefs visiting the Packers in prime time and … Joe Flacco (!) starting for the Browns (and playing pretty well in a loss).

Derek Carr (Saints) threatened to lead a comeback against the Lions after falling behind 21-0 early, but he was carted to the locker room about halfway through the fourth quarter after absorbing a hard hit.
