NFL scores, live updates: Commanders look to get back on track vs. Cowboys; Chiefs, Lions go for 10th win

On By Littum

The Washington Commanders had a mini-bye following Week 11’s Thursday Night Football loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, which handed control of the NFC East to the Eagles, at least for the time being. The Commanders will get a chance to shake off any lingering frustration from that loss at the Dallas Cowboys, who limp into their Week 12 trip to Washington after losing five straight. Their home woes are well-documented, but the 3-7 Cowboys are actually 3-2 on the road and were at least competitive in road losses to the 49ers and Falcons — which can’t be said for any of their home games this season.

Also in the early Sunday window, the 9-1 Lions (at Colts) and 9-1 Chiefs (at Panthers) are favored to both reach 10 wins this week. The last two teams to reach double-digit wins this early was in 2019, when New England and San Francisco were both 10-1 after Week 12. The 49ers ended up in the Super Bowl that season, losing to the Chiefs, while the Patriots stumbled a bit down the stretch in Tom Brady’s last season with the club and lost in the wild card round.
