Takeaways From Week 12 In The NFL Season

Thanksgiving is this week, so there are some teams that are thankful for where they're at this season. Others, not so much. What did this week provide in the NFL?

• Jason Garrett's Job Is As Good As Gone: When Jerry Jones finally snaps and calls out the coaching in Dallas's 13-9 loss to New England, your job is pretty much done. Questionable play calling and the inability to win meaningful games have been things for Garrett in his tenure with Dallas. If Dallas misses the playoffs, Garrett's going to be out of a job.
  
• The AFC Is A Disaster: Aside from New England and Baltimore, there isn't a Super Bowl threat in the AFC. Oakland just lost to the Jets, who are suddenly in the hunt for a wild card spot, and every other playoff contender is average. The sixth seed, Pittsburgh, has an anemic offense that can barely move down the field. All signs point to a duel between New England's elite defense and Baltimore's high-octane offense.
  
• The Lions Suck: Seriously, how do you lose to Washington? Just move the team to London or sell the team, Ford family.
