Nobody wanted to play defence. Rams won the shootout 56-50. Brock Purdy threw for 49ers — 26/44, 493 yards, 6 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. Matthew Stafford threw for Rams — 14/25, 350 yards, 6 TD, 2 INT. Worth noting: Ricky Pearsall, 82 overall, is 3 in the league in receiving yards. Through the air: 49ers 493, Rams 350.

Nicole Santos: "Seattle managed 15 rushing yards and 3 points—an offense that simply could not function. Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams (165 yards) made Los Angeles look like a different team entirely, and at 11-6 the Rams have earned their division." Kayla James: "Seattle's season ends not with a bang but with Antonio Gibson managing 11 rushing yards across his last three games—a running back so far removed from form that even a division winner's mercy would feel like relief."

33 points separated these two, and Rams had all of them. Matthew Stafford was steady for Rams — 22/33, 357 yards, 3 TD. Davante Adams was the target for Rams — 9 catches, 165 yards, 1 TD. A season best for Davante Adams. Total yards: Rams 486, Seahawks 227.

Giveaways decided this one. Giants 48, Rams 42. Matthew Stafford threw for Rams — 19/30, 486 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT — in a losing effort. Cam Skattebo did the work on the ground for Giants — 21 carries, 235 yards, 2 TD. Through the air: Rams 486, Giants 157.

Marcus Reyes: "Los Angeles had no margin for error and found none: Stafford's 4 interceptions against a Dallas secondary that suddenly looked awake turned a yards contest the Rams were winning into a turnover differential they couldn't survive. When you gift a team extra possessions, you don't get to complain about 56 points." Ava Collins: "This was vintage Dallas offense — Prescott and Lamb both hit career highs and looked unstoppable — but what matters is Los Angeles handed away 7 turnovers to a 6-8 team that needed the win; the Rams have been a +5.7 team all year and got exposed when they stopped taking care of the ball."

Dallas beat Los Angeles 56-42 in a game decided entirely by ball security—the Cowboys forced 7 turnovers while committing only 4, a swing that accounts for the 14-point margin. Dak Prescott threw 5 touchdown passes and 526 yards despite 4 interceptions, while CeeDee Lamb caught 10 for 248 yards and 4 scores, and the Cowboys' pass-heavy attack at 85 percent attempts overwhelmed a Rams defense that gave up 602 yards through the air. Matthew Stafford's 4 interceptions sank Los Angeles even as the team moved the ball for 591 total yards, and even Puka Nacua's 193 receiving yards could not compensate for the turnover differential that defines this outcome.

Rams did what they needed to, 34-17. Matthew Stafford did the damage for Rams — 30/39, 267 yards, 1 TD. Kyren Williams did the work on the ground for Rams — 19 carries, 88 yards. Matthew Stafford has now cleared 250 passing yards in 5 in a row. Total yards: Rams 383, Bills 252.

Marcus Reyes: "Arizona moved the ball at will—529 yards, Love ran for 175—and still lost by 1 because they couldn't stop Nacua (225 yards) or keep themselves from beating themselves with a turnover margin that sits at minus-10 on the year." Priya Sable: "Arizona just put up 55 points and still went home empty—that's not a loss you bounce back from in week 6 when you're already 3-10. The Cardinals have the firepower now, but they're running out of runway."
