NFL Scoreboard 2013: Week 12 Sunday Football Scores, Live Results, Schedule, Games to Watch

We're getting to crunch time in the 2013 NFL season. Week 12 of the season is here and the race for the division titles and final wild card spots are heating up in both conferences. There are a number of big games Sunday that fans need to watch. On "Thursday Night Football" the NFC South leading New Orleans Saints defeated the lowly Atlanta Falcons in a surprisingly close game. Meanwhile, "Sunday Night Football" will feature the top matchup of the week when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots host Peyton Manning in a Denver Broncos uniform.

Not only is Sunday night's game another matchup between Brady and Manning, but it has big time playoff implications as the Broncos are tied atop the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Patriots try to hold off the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins in the AFC East.

Believe it or not at 4-6 the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are still both very much in the hunt for the second wild card spot in the AFC. This is why their game today will be a big one. Other games that will have AFC wild-card implications are the Jets and Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans against the Oakland Raiders.

Another game to watch this week will be the 5-5 Dallas Cowboys against the 4-6 New York Giants. Both teams aren't far behind the NFC East leading Philadelphia Eagles who are 6-5. Believe it or not the Giants, who started the season at 0-6, are back in the playoff chase and every time the Cowboys and Giants face off it's a great matchup.

The best way to keep up with the action from all the games is by watching the RedZone channel. However, not everyone has the RedZone channel so you can track all the games and scores online. NFL.com's Game Center feature is a good way to follow the scores. You can also use SI.com, ESPN.com, and FoxSports.com's scoreboard features.
