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.

3The Cowboys have a serious chance to make the playoffs 

The Dallas Cowboys have now won three games in a row and are putting themselves in the running for a late-season playoff push.

In their last four games to finish the year, the Cowboys face the Vikings, the Chargers at home and then the Commanders and the Giants away. All four games are winnable with their offensive power.

This would put them at a record of 10-5-1, which gives them either a chance to win the division or sneak into the wildcard position.
