Week 12 of the NFL season is officially in the books. The Washington Football Team have defeated the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, and now it's time to prepare for Week 13.

Before we do that, let's take a look at the top winners and losers from Monday Night Football.

Seahawks vs. Washington Winners

Taylor Heinicke

Outside of the fact that the announcers, analysts, and commentators did nothing but sing Taylor Heinicke praises all game, the former practice squad quarterback back played quite well. He went 27-for-35 for 223 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Outside of the pick, those are extremely efficient numbers and he did enough to secure the win. Whose to say whether or not he will be the quarterback of the team next season, but he's at least doing enough to keep his career as an NFL QB.

The Two Point Play

Most people weren't as excited about this as I am, but as a football nerd, I love when this happens. It's an EXTREMELY rare play. So much so that I had people reach out to me on Twitter saying that they didn't even know that it was a rule.

Nearing the end of the first half after a Washington touchdown, the Seahawks blocked the extra point and returned it to the other end zone which is worth two points. It turned what was about to be a 10-7 lead for Washington, to a 9-9 tie. Incredible stuff.

Seahawks vs. Washington Losers

Pete Carroll

Tonight's game may have been the final nail in Pete Carroll's coffin when it comes to his time in Seattle. Either he or Russell Wilson need to be given blame for Seattle's failures this season, and the majority of people thinks it falls on Carroll's shoulders given his unimaginative play calling in recent seasons.

Unless the Seahawks win out, Carroll will likely be out as head coach of the Seahawks at the end of the current NFL season.

DK Metcalf fantasy owners

If you needed Metcalf to score some fantasy points tonight for you to win your matchup, you're probably punching the air right now. Metcalf finished with one catch for 13 yards. That's it.

Yikes. Not what you expect to see from one of the most talented young receivers in the NFL.

OVER bettors

If you bet on the OVER in this game, it never looked like it had a chance. At 47.5, over bettors had their tickets ripped in half and likely went to bed before the game reached halftime. Neither offense, especially the Seahawks, showed much life early in the game and that trend continued for the entire game.

They say an OVER is never over until the final whistle blows, but in this case, it was over by the midway point of the second quarter.
