Week 12 of the NFL season continues Sunday with an action-packed 11-game slate, and we’ve got you covered with all the must-see moments from around the league.

Here are the top moments!

New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons

Olave making plays early

Chris Olave made an outstretched grab on the Saints’ opening drive for a 52-yard gain that got them into Falcons’ territory, setting them up for a field goal to take a 3-0 lead.

Bates brings it all the way back!

Jessie Bates III not only prevented the Saints from scoring on their trip to the red zone, but he also put points on the board for the Falcons. He intercepted Derek Carr and returned the interception 92 yards for a touchdown to give the Falcons a 7-3 lead.

There’s Bijan!

Bijan Robinson found the end zone for the fifth time this season in the middle of the second quarter as he followed his blockers and rushed for a 10-yard touchdown. The score gave the Falcons a 14-6 lead.

Back to Bijan!

As the Saints cut the Falcons’ lead to 14-12, Atlanta was able to create some wiggle room when Desmond Ridder lofted a pass up to Robinson for a 26-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-12.

New York Patriots at New York Giants

Mac making mistakes 

As he remained the starter following a quarterback competition in practice this week, Mac Jones ended the first quarter on a bad note. The Patriots QB tossed an interception well over the head of his intended receiver and into the arms of Giants DB Deonte Banks, who tip-toed to keep his feet inbound for the grab.

Another mistake by Mac

Jones threw a second interception as the Patriots were moving down the field, throwing the ball right to Bobby Okereke as he was getting hit. The Giants linebacker made a long return, setting his offense up in good field position. 

Tommy DeVito TD

The undrafted rookie punished the Patriots for their mistake in his first home start, tossing a touchdown pass to Isaiah Hodgins, who threw a tough stiff arm to break the tackle for the score.

Jones benched again for Bailey Zappe

The Patriots opted to bench Jones for the fourth time this season and for the second straight game after he threw two picks in the first half as they trailed, 7-0. 

Rhamondre rams it in

Zappe’s first drive was a success, completing all five of his passes to lead the Patriots down the field before Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for a 7-yard touchdown to tie the game up. 

Carolina Panthers at Tennessee Titans

Henry pushes his way in

Derrick Henry won the muscle battle against the Panthers’ front, churning his legs before falling into the end zone for a 1-yard score that gave the Titans a 1-0 lead.

Henry has his second

The Titans’ star running back broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage before running the rest of the way untouched for a 10-yard touchdown to give his team a 14-3 lead.

Chuba gets one back

Chuba Hubbard was able to find his way into the end zone on a fourth-and-2 run, moving past the Titans’ defense for a 5-yard score to make it a 17-10 game.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans

TLaw stretching out for six

Trevor Lawrence used his long frame to his advantage on the Jaguars’ first-and-goal play from the 1-yard line, jumping and stretching his arm out over the goal line for a touchdown that gave his team a 10-0 lead.

Stroud spinning and scoring

C.J. Stroud evaded the Jaguars’ pass rush, spinning out of a sack before firing a pass into the end zone to Tank Dell for a touchdown that cut the deficit to 10-7.

See ya later, Stroud!

The Jaguars initially sniffed out the Texans’ play-action involving the fullback, staying in their spots defensively. But that was no problem for Stroud, who used his legs and high-stepped his way into the end zone for the short touchdown run that gave Houston a 14-13 lead.

Jags take the lead back

The Jaguars responded to the Texans’ go-ahead touchdown with one of their own as Lawrence found Calvin Ridley in the back of the end zone for a touchdown before finding him again on the two-point conversion to give them a 21-14 lead.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals

Catch or not?

The Steelers looked like they were going to take an early lead when Kenny Pickett hit Diontae Johnson over the middle for a would-be touchdown pass. But the ball fell out of Johnson’s arms late, leading the officials to call an incomplete pass as they didn’t think he had both feet down to secure the grab. 

Jaylen Warren fumbled on the next play, leaving the game scoreless. 

Sampling a score

Jake Browning helped the Bengals get their first lead of the game in the second quarter when his play-action pass to Drew Sample resulted in a touchdown. The tight end took the dump-off pass 12 yards and gave a teammate a push as he fought his way into the end zone for a 7-3 lead.

Catching two things at once!

Ja’Marr Chase has made several impressive catches in his young career. He might’ve made his most impressive one on Sunday when he caught a pass along the sideline while holding his mouthguard in his right hand.

Harris making it happen

Najee Harris hit the outside and found his way to the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter to give the Steelers a 10-7 lead.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Indianapolis Colts

JT = Just Touchdowns

Jonathan Taylor got the game’s first touchdown in the final minute of the first quarter after he rushed for a 4-yard score. He ran for a 17-yard pickup on the play prior to help set up the score that gave the Colts a 10-3 lead.

All Minshew

Gardner Minshew decided to make a play on third-and-goal from the 3-yard line, scrambling to the outside corner and diving in for a touchdown to give the Colts a 17-3 lead.

Wide open Mike

Mike Evans slipped past the Colts’ defense in the end zone, getting wide open in the back corner as he easily hauled in a touchdown grab to make it a 17-10 game. 

Back to the Mike

Mayfield found his trustworthy receiver again for a score in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, lobbing a 24-yard touchdown pass to Evans to cut the Colts’ lead to 20-17.
