Five wildest moments from NFL Week 13: Browns defense outscores offense; 'Mr. Irrelevant' beats Dolphins


NFL Week 13 provided us with some incredible matchups. Deshaun Watson returned to the playing field AND returned to Houston all in the same week, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Denver Broncos without Lamar Jackson, the Green Bay Packers came back from down 13 points to beat the Chicago Bears and the Cincinnati Bengals upset the Kansas City Chiefs.

This week was all about reunions, rematches and revenge. Some got that revenge, such as A.J. Brown. Others didn’t, like Patrick Mahomes. There were plenty of “wild” moments from another amazing NFL Sunday. Which moments made our top five list? Let’s begin with the Miami Dolphins‘ incredible start against the 49ers.

5. Dolphins score on first play from scrimmage

The Dolphins’ trip to The Bay to take on the San Francisco 49ers was a bit of a revenge game. First-year head coach Mike McDaniel was game-planning against his former boss, and the duo of Jeff Wilson and Raheem Mostert were toting the rock against their former team. People forget that this was also a revenge game for wide receiver Trent Sherfield — who spent last year with the 49ers.

Sherfield is in the midst of his best NFL season, and McDaniel called his number on the first play of the game. It turned out to be a good decision. 

The Packers were down nine points to the Bears entering the final quarter, but ended up winning by nine points. One of the reasons Green Bay was able to orchestrate the comeback was because of the rookie Christian Watson. He caught three passes for 48 yards, and this touchdown in the second quarter. 

Watson has seven receiving touchdowns in the last four games — which leads the NFL in that span. Those seven touchdown receptions are tied for the second most by a rookie in a four-game span in NFL history. Randy Moss had eight in a four-game span in 1998. 

His special reception wasn’t the only touchdown Watson scored, however, as he also took a reverse 46 yards to the house to put the game on ice. 

3. Deshaun Watson offense touchdown-less

Watson’s suspension concluded this past week, and he suited up for his first regular-season game since Jan. 3, 2021 on Sunday. Against his former team in the Houston Texans, he completed 12 of 22 passes for just 131 yards and an interception. Nick Chubb also disappointed fantasy owners with just 80 yards rushing on 17 carries. Yet, the Cleveland Browns won 27-14. Where did all those points come…
