Thanksgiving Weekend in the NFL is now complete. Here are the top five headlines from Week 12 of the week that was.

5) 29-12 final for first time ever.

For the first time ever we saw a 29-12 final score in the National Football League. That was the final score at Mile High Stadium on Sunday as the Denver Broncos beat the Cleveland Browns. The Broncos had control of the game early thanks to short touchdown runs by quarterback Russell Wilson of Cincinnati, Ohio and Samaje Perine of Jackson, Alabama.

4) Jaguars win thanks to a doink.

The Jacksonville Jaguars continue to lead the AFC South thanks to a game-ending doink. Texans kicker Matt Ammendola missed a 58-yard field goal on the final play of regulation when the football hit the crossbar and bounced out. As a result, the Jaguars won 24-21 and improved their record to eight wins and three losses.

3) Jake Elliott makes dramatic 59-yard field goal.

Jake Elliott of La Grange, Illinois made a dramatic 59-yard field goal on Sunday in a 37-34 Philadelphia Eagles overtime win over the Buffalo Bills. The field goal tied the game with 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The 59-yard field goal was not a career high for Elliott. He actually has made two field goals from 61 yards. With the win, the Eagles improve to 10-1.

2) Andy Reid becomes Chiefs’s winningest coach.

Andy Reid made Kansas City Chiefs history on Sunday. In the Chiefs’s 31-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, Reid won his 125th game as the coach of Kansas City. He passes Hank Stram (who had 124 wins) as the winningest coach ever in Kansas City. Reid also is the Philadelphia Eagles’ all-time leader in wins with 130. He is the only NFL coach to lead two teams in wins all-time.

1) Panthers make coaching change.

On Monday, after Carolina lost 17-10 to the Tennessee Titans, the Panthers made a coaching change. Out is Frank Reich and in is interim head coach Chris Tabor. The Panthers were 1-10 this season, and were outscored 292-173 in 11 games. Tabor had been the special teams coordinator for Carolina.
