Lamarvellous snap a three-game slide
Three sides finish level on 6-7 with the cut line between them, Punt Intended take the last playoff place by 6.30 points, and Fourth and Long Shots come back from 38 down.
Week 13 Results
Mark posted the week's highest score, 154.82 points, to win the marquee matchup and snap a three-game losing run — and he did it in the unlikeliest fashion. His namesake Lamar Jackson, routed in Cincinnati on Thanksgiving, managed just 5.5 points, but a 32.0-point haul from the Seattle defence and 23.4 from Jameson Williams more than covered for him. Joe K's 140.66 would have beaten six other teams this week; here it came up 14.16 short and ended his own three-game winning run.
The tightest game of the week was also the most consequential. Rob's 6.30-point win lifted Punt Intended above The Tackle Box and into the final playoff place — three sides are now locked together on 6-7, with the cut line falling right between them. CeeDee Lamb (20.7) and Christian Watson (16.3) did the early damage over the holiday games, just enough to survive a goose egg from Amon-Ra St. Brown. Joe W drops out of the top six on points scored.
Left for dead at 10-48 after the Thanksgiving games, Owen roared back on Sunday. A 30.2-point afternoon from A.J. Brown led a deep roster that wiped out a 38-point deficit and won going away by 25.04 — even with 47.4 points left on the bench. Phil, whose holiday flyer had promised an upset, instead slips to eighth as his Sunday starters went cold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 3.3 the most costly.
The leaders' shootout that never was. Biscuit reached 53 points before Sunday but added little after, and 96.92 proved enough only because Gethin — Patrick Mahomes' 29.4 aside — mustered even less. The win moves Modest Ambitions to 10-3 and a clear game ahead at the top.
Bottom side Pete made the holiday feast last. A 63-point head start, built on 24.8 from Jordan Love, held off a Tom team that got 27.8 from Bijan Robinson and 24.4 from Rashee Rice but began Sunday too far back. The cruel twist: Pete wins and still stays last, level with Gethin on 4-9 but behind on points scored.

Waivers & Free Agents
- Mark made the week's boldest move, paying $185 FAAB for Terry McLaurin — a hefty price for a receiver no rival backed with a single dollar, and he tried to spend a further $180 on Mike Evans in the same run.
- Rob reached for the future too, handing over $134 for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough.
- Elsewhere it was mostly streaming: Joe W churned through five separate claims — defence, kicker and tight end — as he looked to respond to dropping out of the playoff places.
Looking ahead to Week 14
The run-in begins in earnest, and top spot is on the line: Modest Ambitions (10-3) host Lamarvellous (8-5) in a rematch of a Week 5 nail-biter Mark won by under ten. Win, and Biscuit all but secures the number-one seed.
The fight for the cut line is now a knot of three sides on 6-7. Hail Mary Poppins and Punt Intended meet head-to-head with a playoff place directly at stake, while The Tackle Box, just edged out of the six, needs a result to climb back in. Fourth and Long Shots, on a five-game winning run, will fancy their chances against a Bread of Heaven side on a five-game slide.
And at the bottom, Pigskin Pirates will hope last week's feast was the start of something. A fuller preview follows later in the week.
