The NFC West is as unpredictable as ever, with the Seattle Seahawks taking over the division lead thanks to their win over the Arizona Cardinals.

With a the Buffalo Bills on a bye, a big Thursday Night Football game, a Sunday night contest featuring two NFC playoff hopefuls, and a Monday night game featuring two AFC playoff teams, Sunday afternoon felt a little light as far as the NFL Playoff Picture was concerned,

The Chiefs barely squeaked out a win over the Panthers, the Cowboys upset the Commanders, and John won the Harbowl. More from a thrilling NFL Week 12.

After the early games in the NFL in Week 12, there were no changes in the NFC playoff race standings, but things did tighten a little bit. Here is what the NFC conference standings looked entering the week.
