Bending the NFL Recap like Beckham

WASHINGTON — Forget Kim Kardashian. Odell Beckham broke the internet —
and the format for these NFL recaps — with the greatest catch ever.

So no words…just Odell:

Ok, now for the Week 12 recap:

Chiefs 20
Raiders 24

Amazing how Oakland has gone from “Just Win Baby!” to “Please…Win Just One,
Baby.”

Redskins 13

49ers 17

Before this close game in San Francisco, DeSean Jackson said it was a close call between signing with the
49ers or the Redskins
. Given the way both quarterbacks played, DJax
probably wishes he had a Plan C.

Browns 26

Falcons 24

I know Josh Gordon’s comeback was everything he said it would be and Cleveland
won the game…but if Brian Hoyer is going to play like this down the stretch,
it might be time to see what Johnny Football can do.

Oh wait. Nevermind.

Lions 9

Patriots 34

This game highlighted a disturbing trend for Detroit: Matthew Stafford’s game
drops off considerably on the road, and now in consecutive weeks, he’s posted
two of his worst career outings. The Lions had better play better outside of
the Motor City if they have any designs on making more than a cameo in the
playoffs.

Titans 24

Eagles 43

Call me crazy…but I think Tennessee might have something in this Zach
Mettenberger kid.

Packers 24

Vikings 21

Aaron Rodgers’ swag is off the hook these days…but come playoff time, Green
Bay will only go as far as Eddie Lacy can carry them. Book it.

Jaguars 3

Colts 23

Andrew Luck missed out on tying Drew Brees’ record of nine straight 300-yard
passing games…but he’s a virtual lock to throw for 300 next week when the
beat up Redskins’ defense comes to town.

Count on T.Y. Hilton being on the receiving end of many of those throws. I
mean, if he’s not too tired from daddy duty.

Bengals 22

Texans 13

Houston native Andy Dalton didn’t really end his struggles in his
hometown…but at least he finally got a win there on his dad’s
birthday
.

Bucs 13
Bears 21

Chicago has finally found their winning formula: no interceptions from Jay
Cutler and play teams with losing records. By that logic, we’ll likely see
only two more Bears victories in 2014.

Rams 24
Chargers 27

St. Louis punter Johnny Hekker is now 5-of-6 passing in his career with five
first downs. Methinks the Rams should make another quarterback change…

Cardinals 3

Seahawks 19

Arizona has their six-game winning streak snapped and loses to an NFC team for
the first time this season — and all I can think is, “what would’ve happened
if Carson Palmer played?”

Dolphins 36

Broncos 39

Denver might think they’re better off without Matt Prater…but if Brandon
McManus misses another easy field goal in the playoffs, the
reaction will be way worse than it was Sunday
.

Cowboys 31

Giants 28

While everyone was obsessed over Beckham, Tony Romo engineered his league-best
13th game-winning drive since 2012 and kept Dallas on pace with Philly for the
division lead. The Cowboys will need that win…we know how Dallas is in
December.

Jets 3

Bills 38

What’s with all these New York-based receivers making
sick catches
all of a sudden?

Ravens 34

Saints 27

Props to Justin Forsett for another monster game, but I’m more stunned that
New Orleans is suddenly incapable of winning at home. This Saints team looks
done.
