We're breaking down all the action from Sunday's slate, including some instant classics and statement wins across the league.

Philadelphia's defense stopped the Lions on downs five times and allowed points on just two of Detroit's 12 drives, completely suffocating an offense that had scored 44 points the previous week. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense did just enough as Philadelphia continues its push for NFC supremacy. JOSH ALLEN MVP PERFORMANCE - Josh Allen put on an absolute clinic with six total touchdowns (three passing, three rushing) as the Buffalo Bills outlasted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 44-32 to improve to 7-3. Allen's historic performance solidifies his MVP candidacy as the Bills remain in contention for the AFC's top seed. BRONCOS UPSET CHIEFS IN THRILLER - The Denver Broncos extended their winning streak to eight games with a dramatic 22-19 walk-off field goal victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, taking firm control of the AFC West. Bo Nix and the Broncos defense proved they're legitimate playoff contenders with this statement win over the defending Super Bowl champions. MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL PREVIEW: RAIDERS VS COWBOYS - We preview the Week 11 finale as the 2-7 Las Vegas Raiders host the 3-5-1 Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football at 8:15 PM ET on ESPN. Dallas enters with a revamped defense after acquiring Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson at the trade deadline, while ranking fourth in both total offense and scoring. The Raiders are coming off a strong defensive performance that limited Denver to 220 yards and forced two turnovers.

NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins BT & Sal for a fiery Week 12 breakdown, immediately ripping Giants rookie Cam Skattebo for his bizarre WWE appearance while nursing a fractured ankle, calling the optics "bizarre" and "unprofessional." The conversation shifts to the Giants' deeper issues, with Baldy agreeing that the team has "no internal veteran leadership" to guide young players like Abdul Carter, whose repeated tardiness to meetings was "unacceptable" and made Coach Daboll look worse. Baldy breaks down the tape, exonerating Jameis Winston on the game-ending interception and slams Jalen Hyatt's execution. He offers a shocking take on the Giants' much-maligned offensive line, calling them "middle of the pack" and "playoff worthy." On the AFC, Baldy weighs in on the contenders, calling the Baltimore Ravens a "problem" and the Buffalo Bills "a mess" defensively. Finally, he supports the Jets' move to Tyrod Taylor to gather crucial information on their young, unproven receivers like Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor.
