Five things you may have missed from Week 12: Exciting endings, an overtime win, Saquon’s MVP case and more

Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season is nearly behind us and we are getting into the games that will really make or break teams’ playoff chances and seeding order. We’re starting to see who is for real and whose early-season success may have been a fluke.
