This week the Giants go to Atlanta with a chance to do the same thing to the team that has played the best regular-season football in the NFC this year.
The madness continued in Week 14. The Chargers bombed the Steelers in Pittsburgh, the Falcons get Cam'ed in Carolina, the Pats flexed their muscles against Houston and the 9-4 Ravens fired their offensive coordinator after blowing a game in D.C.
Look out. That familiar sight is the New England Patriots romping through December, looking like a Super Bowl team.
The NFL is not a place for the patient, yet the two most successful coaches in this year's regular season have benefited from owners who take a long-term view.
It was a tough week for the Top 10, as the Niners, Giants, Ravens and Bears all lost. The Steelers, Bengals, Seahawks and Redskins are all poised and ready to crack the rankings.
Through 12 weeks, which team is the NFL's biggest surprise? How about the Andrew Luck-led Colts, who are 7-4? The biggest disappointment? That honor goes to the dysfunctional 3-8 "Dream Team" Eagles.
A top NFL executive says the rule that negated using video replay to confirm a Houston touchdown Thursday "may be too harsh" and will be re-examined immediately.
Well, you can't make this stuff up. By now you've all seen the disputed touchdown play in Texans vs. Lions game on Thanksgiving day.
Shayne Graham's 32-yard field goal with 2:21 left overtime lifted the Houston Texans to a 34-31 win over Detroit on Thursday
The TD counted and Detroit was called for unsportsmanlike conduct. A Lions spokesman said a coach is not allowed to challenge scoring plays, which are automatically reviewed.
It's my favorite time of the season -- Thanksgiving week. The byes are over, the playoff push is on with six weeks to go and Thursday boasts a stellar triple-header of holiday football.

According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, the New York Jets are working out free agent running backs Steve Slaton and Kahlil Bell.
You can look at the standings and get a pretty good read on the teams that are going to be in the playoffs at the conclusion of the year. But several of those teams still have a lot to prove.
Atlanta is still undefeated, but I'm not totally buying into them. It's all about the playoffs with this group.
Seven weeks into the season the Eagles have fired their defensive coordinator and the Panthers have fired their GM. Atlanta remains the league's only unbeaten team, and only three AFC teams have winning records.
The two-time Super Bowl MVP has been sacked a league-low five times through the first six games of the season, and he's been hit only 11 times -- total.
Six weeks into the NFL season and this is what we know: that old cliche of "any given Sunday" has never been more accurate. Parity, now more than ever.
The Jets are not going to win the division, but they can take baby steps, and that will put them in contention for an AFC Wild Card spot. It looks hopeless right now, but the schedule makers have given them a chance to rise up out of the muck.
"I wasn't trying to hurt him, obviously," Jets guard Matt Slauson said. "I must have just caught him by surprise, but unfortunately, things like that happen."
"He really is that good," Woody Johnson said of Mark Sanchez. "I wouldn't look at the numbers too seriously… A quarterback's job, ultimately, is to win games."
Rex Ryan says there's "no question" that Mark Sanchez is the Jets' starting quarterback. "We're planning on having success," he said.
They played hard and they played better, but they fell short against the Texans on Monday night at MetLife Stadium. They were fortunate that the 5-0 Texans didn't play their best game, but the Jets couldn't take advantage of the opportunities that were in front of them.
Antonio Cromartie is not Darrelle Revis. Let's just make that perfectly clear. But for the first time in his two-plus-year tenure with the Jets he appears to want to be.
