Week 13 NFL Playoff Picture 2024-25: Standings, Bracket Scenarios After Thanksgiving

The Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers will enjoy their Thanksgiving turkey just a little bit more, as they all won their respective games Thursday.

Detroit survived a late charge from the Chicago Bears in part because of clock mismanagement by the visitors, while the Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Giants behind a strong defensive performance against Drew Lock.

With the loss, New York became the first team to be mathematically eliminated from the postseason race.

Green Bay also defended home-field advantage in the cold weather against the Miami Dolphins with relative ease.
