Week 13 of the 2015 NFL season is officially a wrap following a wild Monday Night Football game. The game was pretty horrific for 90 percent of the time. The final two minutes however saw a fumbled punt return, two touchdowns, and a game-winning field goal as the Dallas Cowboys edged out Washington in what became a pretty fun finish. Dallas improved to 4-8, while Washington slipped to 5-7. There is now a three-way tie atop the NFC East, and Dallas is only a game back of all three teams.
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Chicago Bears 26-20 in a wild overtime affair at Soldier Field. The 49ers improved to 4-8, while the Bears dropped to 5-7. The 49ers are tied with six other teams at 4-8, but obviously not all 4-8 teams are created equal. I have the Detroit Lions at the top of list of 4-8 teams in spite of their loss to the Green Bay Packers. They lost on a Hail Mary, but otherwise have played some strong football lately. On the other hand, the Jacksonville Jaguars are pretty awful lately. And while the St. Louis Rams do have a win over the 49ers, they playing some awful football lately, and have just fired their offensive coordinator.
