Week 12 HighlightsThe NFL scheduled 2 games on Thanksgiving this year, the afternoon game going to Denver as they welcomed the Patriots. It was a track meet, with
Boston outlasting the Broncos 41-36. John McCormick and
John Huarte, each of them certainly below the tier of star QBs in the league but capable of putting up their own numbers, impress the national audience with over 700 passing yards between the two of them.
Jim Hunt dominates the Broncos interior line, recording 4 sacks in the game. The Broncos may need to look for a new kicker, as
Bruce Alford has another rough game with 2 missed field goal attempts that could've made the difference today.

Game Log Ends
------------------------------------------------------------
The Thanksgiving night game is happening in Houston, and it comes down to a dramatic end-of-game drive where the Oilers need a touchdown to at least tie the game, and Ravens cornerback
Al Nelson breaks up 3 consecutive pass attempts, including the 4th down, thus securing a
19-13 Birmingham win.
Fred Hill carried Birmingham's pass attack on his back, with 7 catches for 156 yards.
The
Los Angeles Rams steamroll the visiting Miami Dolphins 56-35 with an offense worthy of a reigning Super Bowl champion.
Tom Moore completed an option TD pass to
Jack Snow, and also caught 2 of his own TDs in the game.
Roman Gabriel would've liked the extra TD pass to himself but surely he's happy with the 454 yards and 5 TDs with no picks.
Irv Cross put the final nail in Miami's coffin with a 102-yard pick-six.
The Bills-Chiefs game was talked about as a potential Super Bowl preview and it delivered like one, with
Kansas City defeating Buffalo 28-25 on the road.
Fred Williamson made a key interception as Buffalo was advancing into enemy territory, and it happened to be Williamson's 50th career pick, joining Goose Gonsoulin who reached that mark earlier this season. It's also a battle of MVP candidates and
Len Dawson keeps his lead with a solid 3 TD, 0 INT game. On defense,
Buck Buchanan records 4 tackles for loss and a forced fumble in this game.
The Jets come back from a 2-touchdown 4th quarter deficit to
defeat the Raiders 29-28 on this 4th down touchdown catch by
Emerson Boozer. The Jets have now won 4 in a row and maintain their division lead despite their star QB Joe Namath still not expected back until potentially the regular season finale.
The Vikings put up a solid fight in their trip to the Southeast, including some key first down catches by former Falcons tight end
Bill Martin. However, the game is tied at the end of regulation and
Atlanta pulls out a 26-20 win over Minnesota thanks to a walk-off touchdown reception for
Vern Burke, the cherry on top of a great 9 reception, 133 yard game.

Other Week 12 ResultsCleveland Browns 31, Chicago Bears 30. The Browns come back from a 10-point 4th quarter deficit for the win, with help from 3 TD catches by
Paul Warfield. It's a busy day for Browns cornerback
Erich Barnes, who forces 2 fumbles, recovers 1, and intercepts a pass.
Pittsburgh Steelers 29, Cincinnati Bengals 28. Greg Landry continues to make a case for holding on to the starting job as the Steelers have gone from a 1-6 record to a 4-game win streak and clawed their way back into a potential playoff spot. Bengals kicker
Mike Mercer goes 7-7 on field goals, but that speaks to how well the Steelers defense did at bending but not breaking today.
Dallas Cowboys 30, St. Louis Cardinals 27. The Cardinals and
Jim Hart came back to tie the game in the 4th quarter, but unfortunately in an effort to run out the clock to get to overtime,
Bobby Duhon fumbled and Dallas recovered in prime position for the game-winning field goal.
Bob Hayes runs roughshod around the Cardinals secondary, with 13 catches for 185 yards.
Green Bay Packers 31, New Orleans Saints 27. The Saints make a valiant effort at defending their home turf but Green Bay stays atop the NFC with the close victory.
Elijah Pitts ripped off an 88-yard TD run and
Bart Starr threw for 3 TDs.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24, San Diego Chargers 21. The Chargers scored 18 points in the 4th quarter in what was close to being an epic comeback, but it falls short. Tampa's defense deserves the credit today, especially
Dave Whitsell with an interception return TD and a fumble recovery.
Washington Redskins 42, Las Vegas Panthers 28. Washington locks down the Panthers offense in the 2nd half, rendering them scoreless.
A.D. Whitfield has a gret ground game with 118 rushing yards and 3 TDs.
Orlando Jaguars 30, Baltimore Colts 17. Floyd Little has a nice game of 96 rushing yards and a TD. Jaguars cornerback
Bob Howard records his 8th interception of the season, tied for the league lead, and returns it 63 yards to the house. The Colts desperately miss Johnny Unitas as their playoff hopes are quickly dying after 4 straight losses.
San Francisco 49ers 34, Philadelphia Eagles 23. Ken Willard rushes for 120 yards, helping San Fran to control the clock and leave with the win in Philadelphia.
Tennessee Titans 23, Seattle Seahawks 12. The Seahawks' hopes of a playoff appearance take a big hit with this upset by Tennessee.
Pete Beathard throws for 2 TDs in the win.
