Welcome to the Week 12 grades!

If you love special teams, then this was the week for you, because this might just go down as one of the craziest special teams weeks in NFL history. Here’s a quick look at the chaos that ensued on Sunday: 

• Titans 32-27 over Texans. This game looked like it might go to overtime, but that didn’t happen after Ka’imi Fairbairn missed a game-tying 28-yard field goal attempt with 1:53 left. NFL kickers have only missed four field goal attempts this season from 28 yards or shorter, and Fairbairn has two of them. 
• Chiefs 30-27 over Panthers. The Chiefs had some serious trouble with Carolina and they didn’t seal the win until Spencer Shrader hit a 31-yard field goal on the final play. 
• Vikings 30-27 over Bears. Chicago recovered an onside kick with 22 seconds left and then Cairo Santos hit a 48-yard field goal as time expired to send the game to overtime. Minnesota’s John Parker Romo then hit a 29-yard field goal to win the game in OT. 
• Cowboys 34-26 over Commanders. KaVontae Turpin scored on a 99-yard kickoff return TD with 2:49 left, which was one of two  touchdown returns the Cowboys had in the final three minutes of the game. Juanyeh Thomas scored on a kickoff return off an onside kick with just 14 seconds left. Oh, and Austin Seibert also missed an extra point that might have sent the game to overtime. 

So what kind of grade do you get when you have TWO kickoff returns that go for a touchdown? Let’s get to the Week 12 grades, starting with the Cowboys’ wild win over the Commanders.
