The nonbelievers will shrug, even though the Cowboys pummeled the Eagles on Sunday night.
The critics will laugh about the possibility of Dak Prescott being the MVP, even though he’s been the best quarterback in the league the past two months.
Some might leave the room or the group chat if Mike McCarthy’s name is mentioned for Coach of the Year.
Well, I’m here to say McCarthy certainly deserves consideration, and Prescott is a top two candidate for MVP and … well, I’m not sure if he’s first because of what Tyreek Hill has done in Miami.

Diving into the playoff picture as Week 14 draws to a close
Chaos reigns in the NFL
As Week 14 winds down, with only three games left on the schedule, we can take a look at how things stand in the current playoff picture. Thanks to results during Sunday afternoon’s slate of games, things have gotten very chaotic in both the NFC, and the AFC.
Ahead of the remaining games, we can take a look at the current playoff picture.
On Sunday, we saw a shift in the NFC.
In the NFC South, the battle to win the division and reach .500 continues to rage on. As a result of the Buccaneers beating the Falcons, and the Saints handling the Panthers, there’s a three-way tie atop the division, with Tampa Bay (6–7) holding the tenuous tiebreaker.
Meanwhile, the NFC East saw a shakeup with the Cowboys earning a season split against the Eagles, putting them atop the division with four games remaining.
Dak Prescott, Brandon Aubrey and the Dallas defense were way too much for reeling Philadelphia to handle as those teams finished the night tied with the 49ers at 10-3.
Patrick Mahomes, his wife Brittany, and Andy Reid merged to become a three-headed rage monster against the officiating crew of the Chiefs-Bills game.
A tense battle between two AFC heavyweights saw a moment of magic late in the fourth quarter. Mahomes lobbed a pass downfield to Travis Kelce, who – in a brilliant moment of improvisation – lateralled the ball back to Kadarius Toney. With the defense completely caught off guard, Toney waltzed into the endzone to keep give the Chiefs a three-point lead.
Mitch Wishnowsky admittedly “winged” his fake punt in the 49ers’ win over the Seattle Seahawks.
The Cowboys QB threw his 27th and 28th touchdown passes of the season.
While the Eagles’ offense struggled, their defense came up with the team’s first touchdown of the night against the Dallas Cowboys.
