As a jam-packed week 13 of the NFL comes to a close, we were gifted with lots of great games, including many surprises, as well as big playoff implications for many teams.
Here are the top seven takeaways from this week's action.

Now sitting at 9-4 on the season, they are only one game behind the Bears for the top of the NFC. It seems they have been quietly banking on the wins while they wait for their best players to return from injury.
Now with Purdy and Kittle back, along with the play of Christian McCaffrey, they are becoming one of the scarier teams in the league. Coach Kyle Shanahan has his team in the spot he wants them in.
