Week Fourteen brings to an end the 11-2 Dallas Cowboys 11-game winning streak as the 9-4 New York Giants beat them for the second time this season being the only team that the Cowboys have lost to. “I like being able to say that they’re the best team in the league but they lost twice to us,” Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas said of the Cowboys, who were held to just 260 yards.
And in a surprise move, just a little more than a week after acknowledging that Coach Jeff Fisher’s contract was extended through 2018, the Los Angeles Rams changed their minds and fired him on Monday. The decision came one day after a 42-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which ensured that the Rams would have a losing record for the 10th consecutive season, and three days before a prime-time matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday.
“Making a decision such as this, especially during the season, is one of the most difficult in sports,” team owner Stan Kroenke said in a statement. “I have great respect for Jeff as a coach, person, father and friend.”
The Rams also announced that John Fassel, the current special teams coordinator, has been named interim head coach. Here are the rest of the week’s results:
