Mackenzie Salmon breaks down NFL week 12 wildest games.
Sports Seriously
Week 12 was surprising for the Tennessee Titans (3-8) and Washington Commanders (7-5) for completely different reasons, and they’ll meet in an interconference matchup on Sunday.
Will Levis orchestrated the best win of his young career last week when he went into Houston and threw two touchdown passes against the division-leading Texans. It wasn’t a result many expected given how bad the offense has been, but it’s an encouraging sign for a quarterback hoping to remain a starter for years to come.
For weeks, the Dallas Cowboys looked like an easy victory. But the Commanders couldn’t capitalize against the struggling team and instead dropped their third-straight game. It’s concerning an amazing start to the season is looking to be wasted, but Washington gets another crack at it back at home.
The Commanders are favorites to defeat the Titans, according to the BetMGM NFL odds. Not interested in this game? Check out expert picks and best bets for every NFL game this week.

Washington has come down a little bit, though the team’s obvious talent remains. Getting steady production out of Jayden Daniels, while protecting the ball, is essential. The Titans aren’t the strongest opponent and are second-to-last in turnover differential.
The Commanders have lost three straight games, and Jayden Daniels is experiencing some mild rookie growing pains. I think Washington gets back on track this week against a bad Titans team.
Washington needs to get back on track after a head-scratching loss, and they’ll be able to when a rebuilding Tennessee squad comes to visit.
Washington won’t like to see its offense go against the best pass defense in the league in Tennessee. However, expect Jayden Daniels to play with a sense of urgency and use his legs a ton to extend drives and get his team back on the winning side.
