The NFL contenders are starting to separate from the pretenders.
The Green Bay Packers (8-3) easily took care of business against the San Francisco 49ers (5-6) on Sunday and the Detroit Lions (10-1) dominated the Indianapolis Colts (5-7).
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs (10-1) barely squeaked by the Carolina Panthers (3-8), the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) lost to the Cleveland Browns (3-8), the Houston Texans (7-5) fell to the Tennessee Titans (3-8) and the Washington Commanders (7-5) lost to the Dallas Cowboys (4-7).
So, where does that leave us going into Thanksgiving Week?
The top and bottom teams in the league have been well-established. How the middle-of-the-pack clubs stack up is still up for debate. Here's a look at our updated NFL power rankings going into Week 13.
