Mike Tomlin deserves Coach of the Year, and what else we're learning in Week 14

FOX Sports' NFL experts provide the biggest takeaways from every Sunday game in Week 14 and what they mean for each team going forward.

Falcons: This is a full-fledged collapse, seeing the Falcons go from ostensibly a three-game lead atop the NFC South standings to now falling back into second place behind the Bucs. It's taken four straight losses from Atlanta and three straight wins from Tampa Bay, but now it's the Bucs who control their destiny for a division title. Atlanta's defense struggled Sunday, allowing Sam Darnold to pick them apart for five touchdowns and pull away from a close game. The Falcons' schedule gets much easier — Raiders, Giants and Panthers in the final four weeks — but can they end the skid and salvage at least a wild card at 9-8? Atlanta was the team to beat in the division by the oddsmakers, and the Falcons have beaten themselves in the past month. 

Vikings: With the old quarterback back in town with his new team, Sam Darnold had a near-perfect game Sunday: 22-for-28 for 347 yards and five touchdowns. Minnesota made a big investment in J.J. McCarthy, so Darnold is likely a one-year wonder for the Vikings, but it's hard to imagine him doing more to help his stock and re-establish himself as an NFL starter. He's up to 28 touchdown passes on the season — a number you'd expect more from Kirk Cousins — and quickly moving up the ranks of 2025's biggest free agents. And with another win against tough competition, the Vikings keep pressure on the Lions leading up to their rematch in Detroit in Week 18. —Greg Auman 

Saints: If Alvin Kamara stays healthy, he's going to have the first 1,000-yard rushing season of his career, but he was still shockingly ineffective against the Giants. He carried 17 times
