Week 13 in the NFL was one for the books.
The 49ers got a dominant win in Philadelphia, the Packers defeated the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football as big underdogs, and the Chargers covered a game with six total points. Then the Bengals — with Jake Browning at QB — finished the week by winning in Jacksonville.
