The Lions erupted for their highest point total of the season and registered their sixth victory in the last seven games while the Bears were suffering their fifth straight loss. Detroit, which lost its first four games but climbed to within one game of the Central Division lead after 11 games, lost quarterback Bill Munson, who suffered a right shoulder separation and was replaced by Greg Landry, recently recovered from a left shoulder fracture sustained in the preseason. Dick Jauron's 103 yards in punt returns for the Lions moved him into the NFC top spot in that category.

Rookie Eric Torkelson raced 29 yards to score a touchdown with a fumble recovery and Ken Ellis scored on a 38-yard interception return as the Packers captured their third straight victory since John Hadl became the starting quarterback. The Green Bay defense continued its improved play which permitted only 10 points during the winning streak and helped move the Packers into a second-place tie in the NFC Central Division.

The Cowboys ended the Oilers' four-game win streak and limited their state rival to 81 yards to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Dallas' Doomsday Defense sacked quarterback Dan Pastorini seven times for 75 yards. Doug Dennison's one-yard touchdown leap and a 25-yard field goal by Efren Herrera took care of the scoring in the defensive struggle played before a sellout crowd. Houston's David Beverly recorded the AFC's longest punt in 1974 with a 69-yarder.

Trailing 17-6 entering the final period, the Rams rallied for a pair of touchdowns for the victory, which combined with New Orleans' loss gave Los Angeles its second straight NFC Western Division title. Quarterback James Harris, who completed his final 10 passes, hit 3 in a 43-yard drive which ended with Harris scoring from the 1 with nine minutes left. Then the Rams, down 17-13, took possession with 3:53 remaining and Harris directed the winning touchdown drive during which he completed six passes, the final one for eight yards to Jack Snow for the decisive touchdown with 1:14 to play.

After the Giants had taken a 21-20 lead on a Craig Morton-to-Walker Gillette 17-yard touchdown pass with 1:16 left, the Cardinals moved from New York's 46-yard line, following a short kickoff, to the Giants' 18 and Jim Bakken kicked a 36-yard field goal with three seconds remaining for the St. Louis victory which maintained the Big Red's one-game lead in the NFC East. The two previous weeks, the Giants lost 26-20 in overtime to the Jets and 20-19 to the Lions with two seconds to go.

After the Eagles had pulled to within 13-7 of the Redskins early in the third period, rookie return specialist Larry Jones took the ensuing kickoff and raced 102 yards for a touchdown. It was the longest return in Washington history as well as the longest in the NFL in 1974, and helped send the Redskins toward their fourth straight victory and sixth in seven games to keep them one game behind St. Louis in the NFC Eastern Division race. Duane Thomas, subbing for the injured Larry Brown, paced the Washington running attack with 65 yards and a three-yard touchdown in 20 attempts.
