Welcome to the Week 15 grades!

The NFL playoff race is in full swing, and there are several big games on the Week 15 schedule that will have huge playoff implications. One of those games took place in Houston, where the Miami Dolphins wilted under the pressure of playing in a must-win game with a 20-12 loss to the Texans. 

After throwing zero interceptions in his past four games, Tua Tagovailoa had a meltdown with three picks against the Texans. The Dolphins are now 1-11 since the start of the 2023 season against teams that are over .500. 

In Detroit, Josh Allen made an MVP statement by throwing for 362 yards and two touchdowns in a 48-42 win over the Lions. Allen has now led the Bills to at least 42 points in back-to-back games. 

The Eagles also made a statement Sunday that they might be able to steal the top seed in the NFC from the Lions. Detroit’s loss combined with Philadelphia’s win over the Steelers means the Eagles and Lions are now tied atop the NFC at 12-2. The Vikings joined them at 12-2 on Monday night with their comfortable win over the Chicago Bears. 

With that in mind, let’s get to the Week 15 grades.
