The Super Bowl champion Eagles' upset loss to the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon shook up the state of the NFC playoff race, among several results that affected both the AFC and NFC playoff scenarios.

In Houston, the Texans pulled off the shocker of Week 12 in a 23-19 win over the Bills on Thursday night. Although C.J. Stroud was out, the Texans came away with the upset thanks in large part to a defense that sacked Josh Allen eight times.

Plenty of eyes are likely to be on the Cleveland Browns in Week 12, as rookie Shedeur Sanders makes his first career start against the Las Vegas Raiders in place of Dillon Gabriel. Gabriel was ruled out with a concussion in Week 11's loss to the Ravens, with Sanders completing just 25% of passes for 47 yards and an interception in his NFL debut.
