In an action-packed Week 12 of the NFL, several players showcased their skills and made a significant impact on the field. PFF's grades and data highlighted notable performances that stood out among the Sunday games. Let's delve into some of the key storylines and players who left their mark in Week 12.

One player who stole the spotlight was Rams' running back Kyren Williams. Returning to the lineup for the first time since Week 6, Williams showed remarkable resilience and effectiveness against the Cardinals. He accumulated an impressive 143 rushing yards, with 104 of those yards coming after contact. Williams demonstrated his versatility by also contributing in the passing game, catching all six targets thrown his way for 61 yards and two touchdowns. His performance showcased the impact he can have on the Rams' offense.

Josh Allen, the talented quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, may have been on the losing side against the Eagles, but he displayed his prowess and determination throughout the game. Allen completed 29 of his 51 attempts for 339 yards, showcasing his arm strength and accuracy. Despite the loss, Allen's performance included six big-time throws and only one turnover-worthy play. He also rejuvenated his rushing game, amassing a season-high 91 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Allen's exceptional performance highlighted why he is considered one of the premier quarterbacks in the league.

The Pittsburgh Steelers saw a standout performance from tight end Pat Freiermuth in their first game since the firing of former offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Freiermuth emerged as the top target in the Steelers' passing game, securing nine receptions for 120 yards. His ability to gain yards after the catch and his impressive average of 4.80 yards per route run made him a formidable presence on the field. With his performance, Freiermuth showcased his potential as a valuable weapon for the Steelers' offense going forward.

Defensive excellence was on display as well in Week 12. Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen led an outstanding defensive effort in a hard-fought battle against the Los Angeles Chargers. Queen's contributions included a crucial pass breakup and a forced fumble. While allowing six receptions on seven targets, the yards gained by the Chargers' receivers amounted to just 13 yards combined. Queen's performance was instrumental in securing a victory for the Ravens and highlighted his impact as a playmaker on the defensive end.

Another name that emerged with a standout performance was Atlanta Falcons safety Jessie Bates III. His impact was particularly evident in the Falcons' win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Bates forced a fumble and showcased his playmaking abilities by returning a Derek Carr interception a remarkable 92 yards for a touchdown. Bates' contributions ignited the Falcons' offense and provided a much-needed boost in their victory over their division rival.
