NFL Week 14 winners and losers: Tom Brady is still setting records. Packers continue to own the Bears.

The Week 14 slate Sunday started slowly, with blowouts and games that many expected to have drama falling flat. But a couple of overtime finishes brought the week back to life.

And in the process, the Buccaneers β€” one of the teams who won in that afternoon window β€” are reverting back to their Super Bowl form, even if their defense may be taking a slight step backward. Their success is in large part because of the continued and unparalleled success of Tom Brady.

Elsewhere in the NFC, the Cowboys had some self-inflicted mistakes late in their game against NFC East rival, the Washington Football Team, but Dallas prevailed and now has a comfortable lead in the division. Which means Washington will have to grind just to stay in the wild-card race.
