It was yet another great week for the Patriots, yet the Seahawks will reassess things on the back of their not very impressive appearing, while the two groups that played for the NFC title last season — the Panthers and Cardinals — appearset to watchthe playoffs from home.

The Packers and Eagles will round things off on "Monday Night Football," however here's alook at the best neighborhood features from Sunday's slate.

Brady joins 200 club, Bennett joyous beyond words—The Patriots' 22-17 rebound win over the Jets checked Tom Brady's 200th of his vocation, yet that was not the concentration for tight end Martellus Bennett, who commended a far less amazing milestone."I wasn't generally pondering [Brady's 200th victory]," Bennett said. "It was a turning point for me. I've never won nine recreations in a season some time recently. I'm similar to 9-2, hellfire, better believe it! How about we go!"

"Likely the absolute most agony I've ever felt in my life"— Raiders fans had their hearts in their mouths when Derek Carr was constrained from the field in the second from last quarter against the Pantherswith what seemed, by all accounts, to be a separated pinkiefinger. However, Oakland's MVP competitor quarterback came back to lead the Raiders to a 35-32 win."It was presumably probably the most agony I've ever felt in my life," Carr said. "I had a great deal of inquiries at first. When I posed those questions and they gave me answers, there was no doubt [hewas coming back]."

Beckham follows through on LeBron promise—The Browns lost. I know, stunner. In any case, what was amazing was seeing Odell Beckham Jr. do the LeBron James chalk-toss festivity not once but rather twice. The Giants wide beneficiary saw his first festival rendered negligible as his punt return score was gotten back to, however he found the end zone again in a 27-13 win for New York and did not waver to emulate LeBron yet again in what he demands was an arranged tribute to Ohio's most loved child. "This is his city. It's simply awesome," Beckham said."I let him know, 'I have something for you on the off chance that I get an opportunity to score.'"

Snead gives mother early Christmas present—The Saints poured it on the Rams, and the simplicity of their triumph was represented when wide collector Willie Snead tossed a touchdown pass on a trap play to Tim Hightower. A highschool quarterback, Sneadpresented the ball he hurled to Hightower to the personwho trusted he could make it as a NFL flag caller:his mother, Sofia. "She's the person who let me know not to lose my tossing arm," Snead said.

Houston saw Denver pulverization coming—Justin Houston missed the Chiefs'first eight recreations as he recouped from ACL surgery, butin his second appearancethe Kansas City linebacker went off for three sacks, 10 handles, a constrained fumble,a tipped pass and three quarterback hits. It was a dazzling execution, yet not one that shocked the man himself "I've been so hungry,"Houston said. "it was a long procedure and through the procedure I developed profoundly. I saw this coming months back. I buckled down and I had confidence and I accepted."

Seahawks can't keep the insane—The Seahawks hostile line was desolated, giving upsix sacks in the misfortune to the Bucs. Handle Bradley Sowell was at a misfortune to clarify the hostile battles of one of the NFC's best groups. "We drive down there two or three circumstances, I felt like we at last made them go, swinging at the diversion and afterward we turn it over, get a punishment, something happens," Sowell said."Just one of those peculiar evenings, just couldn't make them go out there. Exactly when I thought we were, throughout the day something insane would happen."

Arians indications Cards can run the table—The Cardinals wereon the less than desirable end of a shellacking, going down 38-19 to the Falcons, leaving Arizona4-6-1and in a frantic position in the playoff chase. Mentor Bruce Arians, in any case, apparently has certainty the Cards can run the table down the stretch."We require one win. One win," Arians said. "There's no one remaining on our timetable we can't beat." Of the Cardinals' last five adversaries, just the Rams have a losing record, so Arians is maybebeing only a bit idealistic.
