Week 13 of the NFL season continued Sunday with a stacked 11-game slate, and we've got you covered with all the biggest plays, best catches and jaw-dropping drives from around the league.

Here are the highlights!

Green Bay Packers 27, Kansas City Chiefs 19

Packers take the lead

Green Bay got things going in a hurry, as Jordan Love & Co. went 75 yards in 13 plays to take a 7-0 lead. Ben Sims found the end zone for the first time to cap the drive.

Keep the legs churning

Isiah Pacheco is one of the hardest runners in the league, but his vision is incredibly underrated. He showed why on this spurt, putting the Chiefs in position for a field goal to inch closer on the scoreboard.

Double Love

Love was scorching hot to start, completing his first eight passes and finding Christian Watson in the back of the end zone to push G.B. ahead 14-3.

Lambeau leap!

The first Lambeau leap of the second half came from an unexpected source: Pacheco, who hopped into the stands after punching in a 1-yard score to bring K.C. within two. The play was set up by this nifty pitch-and-catch from Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Let it fly

On fourth-and-1 near midfield, Green Bay elected to go for it and converted in a huge way, as Love heaved this sailing lob to Romeo Doubs for a 33-yard gain.

Love lofted another high pass to Watson on the ensuing play, fitting the ball into a window where only Watson could get it for the WR's second TD of the night. Green Bay went up 21-12 with just under five minutes to play in the third quarter.

Push the pile

Pacheco would not stop moving as he fought for extra yardage to put the Chiefs in the red zone early in the fourth quarter, setting up a short slant from Mahomes to Noah Gray. The TD brought the score to 21-19.

Nixon says no!

With five minutes to play, Keisean Nixon made the play of the night for the defense, and he stretched out to haul in a huge interception off Mahomes.

Go Pack go!

A clutch sack from Kansas City's Chris Jones kept G.B. to a field goal, allowing Mahomes to guide his troupe to midfield for one last shot at the end zone. That throw was knocked down by the Packers' defense, though, and it solidified a massive potential postseason win.

San Francisco 49ers 42, Philadelphia Eagles 19

Big pass play

On Philadelphia's second possession, QB Jalen Hurts hit WR A.J. Brown, who took off for a 38-yard gain. The Eagles finished off the drive with a field goal.

There goes George

49ers QB Brock Purdy found a wide-open George Kittle, and the tight end proceeded to pick up 32 yards.

Shortly after the big pickup by Kittle, Purdy hit WR Brandon Aiyuk for a 2-yard touchdown. The 49ers led 7-6.

Another long TD drive

After putting together an 11-play touchdown drive, San Francisco strung together a 10-play touchdown drive, ending with Christian McCaffrey running in a 2-yard score. The 49ers led 14-6 at halftime.

Deebo around the horn

The 49ers picked up right where they left off to open the second half. On the seventh play of the drive, WR Deebo Samuel took the handoff 12 yards into the end zone.

Hurts powered his way into the end zone, getting the Eagles to within one score.

Later, guys!

Jalen Hurts to locker room

Philadelphia's quarterback jogged off to the locker room shortly after taking a hit and was being evaluated for a concussion. Marcus Mariota briefly came in at quarterback before Hurts returned.

Get off me!

WR Jauan Jennings picked up a first down, but then he ripped his defender to the ground and ran into the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown.

Head for the exits

The Eagles scored a touchdown but failed the two-point attempt on the ensuing possession. San Francisco then recovered Philadelphia's onside kick attempt. Two plays later, Samuel ran through Philadelphia's defense for a 46-yard receiving touchdown.
