What To Look For - Week 13

​CLINCHING TIME: For the first time this season, there are teams that can clinch a spot in the 2022 postseason. The MINNESOTA VIKINGS (9-2) can secure their first NFC North title since 2017, while the PHILADELPHIA EAGLES can clinch a postseason berth for the second-consecutive season and the fifth time in the past six seasons. For the full Week 13 playoff scenarios for each club, click here. -- NFL -- CHIEFS KINGDOM: The KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (9-2) have won five consecutive games and are closing in on their eighth consecutive postseason berth, the longest active streak in the NFL. Since taking over as Kansas City’s head coach in 2013, ANDY REID has guided the franchise to at least nine wins in each season and their 112 regular-season wins over that span are the most in the league. With a win at Cincinnati on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, CBS), Reid can become the third head coach in NFL history to record at least 10 regular-season wins in eight consecutive seasons, joining BILL BELICHICK (17 consecutive seasons from 2003-19) and GEORGE SEIFERT (eight consecutive seasons from 1989-96). Additionally, Reid – who also had eight 10-win seasons with Philadelphia – can surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer TOM LANDRY (16 seasons) for the third-most 10-win seasons by a head coach in NFL history. Only Belichick (20 seasons) and Pro Football Hall of Famer DON SHULA (20) have more.

In six road games this season, Henry has totaled 662 rushing yards (110.3 per game) with nine rushing touchdowns and has scored a rushing touchdown in each game. With a rushing touchdown in Philadelphia on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX), Henry will become the third player ever to record a rushing touchdown in each of his first seven road games of a season, joining DALTON HILLIARD (1989) and Pro Football Hall of Famer JOHN RIGGINS (1983).

NOTAS DE LA NFL DE LA DECIMOTERCERA SEMANA Los 11 titulares – La NFL se sumerge en diciembre con tres partidos entre equipos en el primer puesto   Es la decisión más valiente en todos los deportes. Con poco o nada de tiempo en el reloj del cuarto periodo, tras una anotación que reduce tu desventaja a un punto, ¿pateas para igualar el partido y juegas por el triunfo en la prórroga? ¿O vas por dos? Después de que JUSTIN HERBERT la semana pasada en Arizona lanzara un pase de anotación a AUSTIN EKELER con 15 segundos en el reloj, acercando a Chargers 24-23, el entrenador en jefe BRANDON STALEY tomó la decisión. Y el subproducto de la fe y confianza de Staley en sus jugadores fue su fe y confianza en él. "Simplemente demuestra cuánto cree realmente en nosotros, el coraje que tiene", dijo el ala cerrada GERALD EVERETT, quien atrapó el pase de Herbert para convertir una jugada de dos puntos y darle a los Chargers una victoria de 25-24. "Hemos estado esperando tanto tiempo para tener ese momento, para ser agresivos. Partidos apretados como este contra buenos equipos. ¿Qué mejor manera de terminar en un partido apretado que ir por dos y que ese sea el factor decisivo? También fue el factor decisivo en Jacksonville. Después de que TREVOR LAWRENCE orquestó una serie anotadora de 10 jugadas y 75 yardas para reducir la ventaja de Baltimore a 27-26 con 14 segundos en el reloj, el entrenador en jefe, DOUG PEDERSON, tomó la misma decisión y ZAY JONES atrapó el pase ganador del partido de Lawrence para superar a Ravens 28-27. En tres ocasiones este año, más de cualquier temporada desde que la NFL introdujo la conversión de dos puntos, en 1994, un entrenador en jefe "ha ido por dos" para ganar un partido y terminó ganando. La semana pasada sucedió dos veces el domingo, más de cualquier día en los anales de la liga. En la primera semana, el entrenador en jefe de Giants, BRIAN DABOLL, pidió una jugada para anotar los dos puntos ganadores del partido con poco más de un minuto restante en lo que a la postre fue triunfo 21-20 en Tennessee. Tampoco lo llames coincidencia. El catalizador de esas tres victorias es la abundancia de remontadas y partidos cerrados de la NFL en 2022. Esta temporada, 57 partidos han sido ganados o empatados por equipos que iban perdiendo en el último cuarto, y 79 se han sido definidos por seis puntos o menos, ambas mayores cantidades de partidos respectivamente a lo largo de 12 semanas en cualquier temporada de la NFL. Esta semana, NEW YORK GIANTS (7-4) recibe a WASHINGTON COMMANDERS (7-5) (domingo, 1:00 PM, hora de New York, FOX). En partidos decididos por seis puntos o menos, Giants está 5-0 y Commanders está 5-2. Otro par de equipos que se han destacado en esos partidos –NEW YORK JETS (7-4) y MINNESOTA VIKINGS (9-2)– se enfrentan en U.S. Bank Stadium domingo (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS). Vikings está 4-0 en partidos decididos por seis puntos o menos mientras que Jets está 3-1. Por lo tanto, no abandone su asiento, no importa el resultado. En la NFL, el drama al final del partido está asegurado; la cuestión es cuándo suceda. Los 11 titulares llegando a la semana 13… 1.     LA CLASE DE 2020 HA SIDO EXCEPCIONAL DESPUÉS DEL 1 DE DICIEMBRE. Los mariscales de campo JUSTIN HERBERT y TUA TAGOVAILOA, productos de la clase 2020 del draft de mariscales de campo, tienen cada uno siete victorias en su carrera en titularidades de temporada regular a partir del 1 de diciembre. JOE BURROW, primerísima selección global de esa clase, ganó tres titularidades consecutivas al final de la temporada, mientras que la selección global No. 53 en 2020, JALEN HURTS, también llevó a su equipo a tres victorias consecutivas después del cambio de calendario a Diciembre La última vez que cuatro mariscales de campo de la misma clase del draft titularizaron en los playoffs fue en 2005, cuando REX GROSSMAN, BYRON LEFTWICH, CARSON PALMER y CHRIS SIMMS, todos reclutados en 2003, llevaron a sus equipos a la postemporada. 2.     NÚMERO DE LA SEMANA – 3. El número de partidos en el calendario de la semana 13 que emparejan equipos en primer lugar. Dos de esos tres, TENNESSEE (7-4) en PHILADELFIA (10-1) el domingo (1:00 p. m. ET, FOX) y MIAMI (8-3) en SAN FRANCISCO (7-4) el domingo (4:05 PM ET, FOX), son candidatos potenciales del Super Bowl LVII. El otro –KANSAS CITY (9-2) en CINCINNATI (7-4) el domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, CBS)– involucra a equipos que participaron en dos de los partidos más emocionantes de la temporada 2021, un infartante duelo en la semana 17 y también el Juego de Campeonato de la AFC, ambos ganados por Bengals. Cincinnati ingresa a semana 13 en la cima, empatado con Baltimore, de la AFC Norte. 3.     BOLTS, RAIDERS REACTIVAN LOS RECUERDOS DE LA FINAL DE 2021. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (6-5) y LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (4-7) se enfrentan el domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, CBS) en Allegiant Stadium, sede del final de la temporada regular de la NFL 2021. En ese clásico, Raiders obtuvo el último lugar en los playoffs de la liga con un triunfo de 35-32, cuando DANIEL CARLSON conectó un gol de campo de 47 yardas cuando el tiempo expiraba en el reloj de la prórroga. El mariscal de campo de Chargers, JUSTIN HERBERT, tiene 88 pases anotadores y 12,354 yardas aéreas en su carrera. En la historia de la NFL, a lo largo de las primeras tres temporadas de un jugador, sólo el miembro del Salón de la Fama DAN MARINO (98) tuvo más pases anotadores y nada más que ANDREW LUCK (12,957) tuvo más yardas aéreas. El corredor de Raiders JOSH JACOBS, que lidera la NFL esta temporada con 1,159 yardas por tierra, aspira en convertirse en el primer jugador de Raiders que lidera la liga en yardas terrestres desde que el miembro del Salón de la Fama MARCUS ALLEN lo hiciera en 1985. La semana pasada Jacobs registró una marca de la franquicia en un mismo partido con 303 yardas desde la línea de golpeo (229 acarreando, 74 recibiendo) junto con dos acarreos anotadores, incluyendo el acarreo anotador ganador del partido de 86 yardas en la prórroga. 4.      BAJO LOS REFLECTORES – ENFRENTAMIENTO INDIVIDUAL. MINNESOTA (9-2) puede asegurarse su primera corona de la división desde 2017 con una victoria y una derrota de Detroit esta semana. Eso no es todo lo que entrará en la conversación el domingo, cuando Vikings reciba a NEW YORK JETS (7-4) en U.S. Bank Stadium (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS). El esquinero novato de los Jets SAUCE GARDNER lidera la NFL con 14 pases defendidos. Esperen que Gardner se alinee para varias jugadas frente al receptor JUSTIN JEFFERSON, quien la semana pasada alcanzó 4,248 yardas recibidas en su carrera, superando al miembro del Salón de la Fama RANDY MOSS (4,163) y a ODELL BECKHAM JR. (4,122) para la mayor cantidad en las primeras tres temporadas de un jugador en la historia de la NFL. 5.      BAJO LOS REFLECTORES – ENFRENTAMIENTO DE EQUIPOS. El excoordinador ofensivo de San Francisco y entrenador en jefe de Miami, MIKE MCDANIEL, debe atravesar todo el país con sus Dolphins para enfrentarse con los 49ers el domingo (4:05 p. m., hora del este, FOX). La ofensiva de McDaniel en Miami cuenta con el pasador líder de la liga, TUA TAGOVAILOA (rating de 115.7), y TYREEK HILL, quien lidera la NFL tanto en recepciones (87) como en yardas recibiendo (1,233). Cuando Dolphins tenga el balón, enfrentará quizás su prueba más dura de la temporada. Dirigido por el coordinador DEMECO RYANS, San Francisco lidera la NFL tanto en menos puntos permitidos (15.7 por juego) como en defensiva total (281.7 yardas permitidas por juego). 49ers blanqueó a a sus oponentes en los últimos seis cuartos jugados. 6.     RACHAS QUE HABLAN. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (4-8) se enfrenta a TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (5-6) en el clásico de lunes en la noche Monday Night Football (8:15 p. m. ET, ESPN). New Orleans ha ganado cuatro partidos seguidos en el estadio Raymond James. Durante los últimos nueve cuartos del equipo en esa sede, los Saints han superado a los Buccaneers 54-3. 7.     ¿LO SABÍAS? Si la temporada terminase hoy, los cuatro equipos de la NFC Este estarían en la postemporada. En la historia de la NFL, una división individual nunca ha clasificado a todos sus equipos para la postemporada. 8.     HISTORIA BAJO EL RADAR. Esta semana, la NFL inicia la "Unboxing Week", cuando los jugadores de toda la liga exhiben los zapatos personalizados #MyCauseMyCleats que usarán para reconocer las diversas causas que apoyan. Una de esas causas aparecerá en el calzado de tres jugadores en el Lincoln Financial Field, cuando TENNESSEE (7-4) visite a PHILADELPHIA (10-1) el domingo (1:00 p. m., hora del este, FOX). El liniero defensivo de Titans LARRELL MURCHISON, así como dos miembros de Eagles, el apoyador SHAUN BRADLEY y el pateador JAKE ELLIOTT, son tres de los 10 jugadores de la liga que usan botines para apoyar a Everytown, una organización que trabaja para reducir la violencia armada (www.everytown.org). El mariscal de campo de Philadelfia, JALEN HURTS, que usa botines para apoyar tanto a OneMindSet Foundation como a Eagles Autism Foundation, jugó uno de los partidos ofensivos más completos de la historia en la victoria de la semana pasada. Hurts se convirtió en el primer jugador en la historia de la NFL en alcanzar las 150 yardas terrestres, 150 yardas aéreas y dos pases anotadores en el mismo partido. Uno de esos pases anotadores fue para el receptor abierto A.J. BROWN, que juega esta semana con su exequipo. Brown está apoyando la Open Door Abuse Awareness & Prevention (Concientización y Prevención del Abuso de Puertas Abiertas, ODAAP). 9.     TENDENCIA. La selección global No. 12 en el Draft de la NFL 2021, el apoyador MICAH PARSONS, y DALLAS COWBOYS (8-3) reciben a INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (4-7-1) en el clásico de domingo en la noche Sunday Night Football (8:20 p. m. ET, NBC). Parsons, quien tiene 12 capturas esta temporada, posee nueve partidos de múltiples capturas en su carrera, empatado con ALDON SMITH en la mayor cantidad de juegos con dos o más capturas en las dos primeras temporadas de un jugador desde 1982, cuando la captura individual se convirtió en una estadística oficial. Parsons también es apenas el tercer jugador con 12 o más capturas en cada una de sus dos primeras temporadas en la NFL desde 1982, uniéndose a Smith y al miembro del Salón de la Fama REGGIE WHITE. 10.  ESTA SEMANA EN LA HISTORIA DE LA NFL. 7 de diciembre de 1997 (hace 25 años) – KORDELL STEWART y Steelers borran una desventaja de dos anotaciones en una victoria 35-24 sobre Denver en Three Rivers Stadium. Stewart lanza 303 yardas y tres anotaciones, y acarrea otras dos anotaciones en la victoria. Tres semanas después, Denver ingresa en los playoffs como equipo comodín y gana tres partidos consecutivos, incluido el triunfo 24-21 en Pittsburgh en el partido de Campeonato de la AFC, en camino a una victoria en el Super Bowl XXXII sobre Green Bay. 11.  Y POR ÚLTIMO, PERO NO MENOS IMPORTANTE. GREEN BAY PACKERS (4-8) y CHICAGO BEARS (3-9) lucharán por algo más que orgullo el domingo en Soldier Field (1:00 p. m. ET, FOX). Cada equipo tiene 786 victorias de franquicia en temporada regular, empatando la mayor cantidad en la historia de la NFL. La última vez que la franquicia de Bears no lideró la NFL en victorias de temporada regular de todos los tiempos fue el diciembre de 1921. …El entrenador en jefe de Packers, MATT LAFLEUR, tiene tirunfos en cada uno de sus primeros siete partidos contra Chicago.   Para más acerca de NFL Communications, visite NFLCommunications.com y siga @NFL345.
