The 2025 NFL season is nearing the home stretch with Week 12 in the books. The playoff picture is far from finalized, but it's certainly taking shape as we enter the final six weeks of the regular-season calendar.

Welcome to the Week 13 grades! If Week 13 is any indication, things could get pretty wild down the stretch in the NFL playoff race.  In the NFC, the Carolina Panthers pulled off a stunning upset over the Los Angeles Rams.
