Welcome to the Week 16 grades!

This is the time of year when Santa is known for delivering, but he’s not the only one, the NFL is also delivering on Christmas Day with the league’s first-ever Monday tripleheader. 

In the first game, the Raiders pulled off the upset of the weekend by beating the Chiefs in Kansas City. The loss by the Chiefs means that they no longer have any chance of earning the top seed in the AFC, which means we could see Patrick Mahomes play the first road playoff game of his career in January if Kansas City can get out of the wild card round. 

In the second Christmas game, the Eagles held off a feisty Giants team that put a scare into Philadelphia by driving down to the Eagles’ 26-yard line in the final seconds. The Giants weren’t able to punch it in, though, and the Eagles were able to escape with a 33-25 win. 

In the final game of Christmas night, the Ravens made a statement by beating the 49ers 33-19. The win was so dominant that the Ravens will likely wake up on Tuesday as the Super Bowl favorite and Lamar Jackson will likely wake up as the MVP favorite. 

With that in mind, let’s get to all the grades for Week 16, starting with the Raiders’ Christmas shocker over the Chiefs:
