Taking a look at some winners and losers from NFL week 12 matchups across the league. Which players stepped up and which ones disappointed?

Week 12 of the NFL season has come and gone and made the playoff race even more exciting.

With new teams emerging and others trending down, there are plenty of winners and losers to crown from week 12 action, starting with Cleveland’s rookie phenom quarterback.

Baker Mayfield – Winner

Baker is becoming one of the most exciting young NFL players in the game. He is also proving more and more why he was the number one overall pick.

He has led his Browns to a 4-6-1 record and suddenly has the Browns in the playoff hunt. His week 12 performance was spectacular.

Baker carved apart the Bengals defense for over 250 yards and four touchdowns. He is starting to look like the real deal and the franchise quarterback the Browns have been searching for for years.
