The 13th week of the 2022 NFL season have just reached its end, and it looks like there were a lot of revenge games taking place during the week, which makes all the results all the more exciting.
It was fun to see that the meeting between the Giants and Commanders, which was supposed to be quite an interesting match, ended being a draw with both teams showing their hot streaks were there for a reason.
Every week in the NFL we get exciting matches, but we just have to point out how those revenge matches made things a lot more enjoyable this time around during Week 13.
Also, we have to point out that the Monday Night Football match between the Buccaneers and Saints ended as close as it did.
NFL Week 13 – Results – Dallas Cowboys vs. Indianapolis Colts
When:
Sunday, December 04 at 08:20 pm ET
Moneyline odds:
Dallas Cowboys -355
Indianapolis Colts +450
There were revenge games aplenty on Sunday, but it’s safe to mention that many slept on the Malik Hooker revenge game!
Quietly putting together an excellent season in Dallas, Hooker came up huge to turn away his former squad.
The safety hauled in a first-half interception that he returned 26 yards and followed with a 38-yard fumble return in the second half for his first career touchdown.
Hooker led a takeaway feast for the Cowboys’ defense, which forced five turnovers on Sunday, including four in a 33-point fourth quarter.
The Colts hung tough for a while, though, before the Cowboys turned in an avalanche of turnovers down the stretch to turn it into the lopsided result prognosticated by many.
Hooker, an unheralded member of the defense, got things going in a big way against the franchise that made him a first-rounder back in 2017.
In a game in which Indy started with a 3-0 lead, the Colts suffered their most lopsided loss of the season, falling by 35 points.
Result: Dallas Cowboys (54) – (19) Indianapolis Colts
NFL Week 13 – Results – Las Vegas Raiders vs. Los Angeles Chargers
When:
Sunday, December 04 at 04:25 pm ET
Moneyline odds:
Las Vegas Raiders -134
Los Angeles Chargers +129
The Raiders took a strange approach to the opening of Sunday’s game, opting not to target their best wide receiver in the first 18-plus minutes.
That spanned four drives, which unsurprisingly ended in a punt, fumble, interception, and punt.
Once the Las Vegas coaches did a little sideline self-scouting, they realized their error.
And once the Raiders started feeding Adams, they flipped a 10-0 deficit on its head and dominated the game from that point on.
Adams caught eight passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns, giving Asante Samuel Jr. the business most of the game.
On Adams’ first TD early in the third quarter, he ripped off a beautiful double move to shake free of Samuel and give the Raiders the lead. Adams scored again fewer than four minutes later, completely tilting the game to the Raiders.
The Chargers got smoked in the trenches, but especially their offensive line versus the Raiders’ front.
Granted, this is a unit without Trey Pipkins and Corey Linsley, so it’s far from peak form.
But if the Chargers want to get serious and maximize the special QB talent they have — especially while he’s on his rookie deal — they need to get better talent and depth up front.
Result: Las Vegas Raiders (27) – (20) Los Angeles Chargers
NFL Week 12 – Results – Washington Commanders vs. New York Giants
When:
Sunday, December 27 at 01:00 pm ET
Moneyline odds:
New York Giants +120
New York has spent much of the last month struggling to regain its identity with football, but on Sunday, the Giants started to figure it out.
The biggest difference showed in Daniel Jones’ running ability, which saw the quarterback gain the most rushing yards in a game (71 on 12 attempts) since Week 7 and pick up five-plus first downs on the ground.
The biggest issue, though, came down to New York’s inability to convert in important situations.
The Giants finished 4-of-13 on third down and failed to get into field goal range twice in overtime, which they only reached because they couldn’t put away the game when holding a one-touchdown lead in the fourth.
–
Considering where New York was in the last four weeks, Sunday stood as a positive sign, but if the Giants want to reach the postseason, it needs to be a stepping stone, not a plateau.
Washington had won six of its last seven entering Sunday in just about every fashion imaginable and enters every week with a belief it can come away victorious once again.
The Commanders had plenty of reasons to believe their streak might finally come to an end Sunday, especially after the Giants proved they could get after Taylor Heinicke.
And yet, Heinicke worked his magic once again, finding rookie receiver Jahan Dotson over the middle and letting him do the rest of the work on a game-tying 28-yard touchdown reception with 1:45 left to play.
From there, the responsibility fell on the shoulders of Washington’s defense, which allowed New York to flirt with a field goal but played just well enough to prevent the Giants from regaining the lead.
Two teams that win games in similarly unconventional fashion fought to the end, so perhaps a tie was the perfect result — even if it wasn’t satisfying.
