“A game like this is all about trust in the team and solidarity,” said Prescott after the successful comeback and thought of the deceased former teammate Marshawn Kneeland, who apparently took his own life at the beginning of November. “The victory was also for him,” emphasized Prescott.
LA Rams extend series
The Los Angeles Rams (9:2) are racing from win to win in the NFC West and consolidated first place with their sixth win in a row with a 34:7 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay, Super Bowl winner 2021 with Tom Brady, is still the leader in the NFC South, but lost a better starting position after its third defeat in a row.
After a 9:20 deficit against the Indianapolis Colts, the Kansas City Chiefs won 23:20 after overtime and can still dream of participating in the playoffs. In the event of a defeat, the chances of reaching the knockout round would have decreased significantly. With 6:5 victories, Patrick Mahomes and Co. are only third behind leaders Denver Broncos (9:2) and the Los Angeles Chargers (7:4).
According to the available articles, the Dallas Cowboys failed to turn a 0:21 deficit into a win in their duel with the Philadelphia Eagles. According to Article 2, the Eagles led 21-20 at halftime, and after a field goal in the third quarter, the game ended 24-20 for Philadelphia. The Cowboys still had chances in the final period, but couldn’t take advantage of them, so the Eagles won the game.
