It was another exciting week of NFL action. Week 14 of the schedule featured some fantastic finishes and surprising upsets. That included the Chicago Bears getting a win over the L.A. Rams on Sunday night (December 9) and the Miami Dolphins with a final sequence full of lateral passes to take down the Patriots. Below are five stars who stood out in the Week 14 wins.
Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs
The odds-on-favorite to win NFL MVP is still Patrick Mahomes. On Sunday, the Chiefs' sophomore sensation threw for 377 yards and two touchdowns, as Kansas City edged Baltimore, 27-24 in overtime.

Amari Cooper - Dallas Cowboys

Saquon Barkley - New York Giants
Just like Mahomes is odds-on-favorite to win MVP, one has to think that's the case for Barkley and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Sunday's Giants' win over the Redskins further illustrated that. Barkley had 14 carries for 170 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He also racked up 27 yards receiving in the 40-16 win.

Derek Carr - Oakland Raiders
It's been a mostly disappointing season for fans of the black and silver, but Sunday's game showed some life. Derek Carr led the Raiders to a comeback win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Carr threw for 322 yards and two touchdowns on 25-of-34 passing.
What a throw by Derek Carr!
