Another week of the NFL is behind us, and that means it’s time to take a look at the actions.

Here are my four biggest observations from week 12.

1) The Vikings are for real.

Minnesota had no real problem getting rid of Detroit on the road for their Thanksgiving day. That’s a pretty scary thought for the NFL, considering the fact the team has gotten to a 9-2 record with Case Keenum at quarterback. Minnesota looks like it’ll runaway with the NFC North.

2) The Cowboys are not making the playoffs without Ezekiel Elliott.

Turns out Ezekiel Elliott was much more important to Dallas than people might have initially realized. They have struggled mightily without him, and got blown out by the Chargers this week. That’s not a good look at all.

3) Will the Browns ever get a win?

My bet is on a solid no. They might be lucky at this point to be leading in the second half of any game in their remaining schedule.

4) Bills win as Tyrod Taylor returns to the starting lineup.

The Buffalo coaches look dumber and dumber for their decision to bench Taylor. He’s back and they’re winning again. We can’t say we’re surprised at all. That’s one of the worst coaching decisions I’ve ever seen.
