Welcome to the Week 13 grades!

The Denver Broncos (10-2) briefly overtook the top spot in the AFC playoff race after beating the Washington Commanders on Sunday night, but that didn’t last for long. The New England Patriots (11-2) have reclaimed the No. 1 overall seed after coasting to an easy 33-15 win over the New York Giants on Monday night. With the win, the Patriots are now the first team since the 1999 Colts to have a 10-game winning streak just one year after a season where they lost 13 games.

The Patriots were up 17-0 before the end of the first quarter, and the game was basically over after that. After a week of action where we saw multiple upsets, including three on Thanksgiving, the Giants didn’t come close to pulling one off at Gillette Stadium.

With that in mind, we’ve got grades for all 32 teams, so let’s get to them, starting with New England’s dominant win.
