Week 12 of the 2023 NFL season is in the books. With all games complete, Steel Curtain Network’s survivor league is now down to single digits.

With starting a new venture, there are not as many contestants this season as in year’s past who are in the running for the Donnie Shell football. With all of league one being filled with 100 contestants, league two capped out at 64 entries. Since I am entered in both leagues in order to have access, this means 163 contestants are vying for the signed Donnie Shell Hall of Fame football.

This week there were some slight changes to the numbers as the 8 remaining contestants are now down to 5. The most common selection saw four contestants, two from each league, pick the Tennessee Titans over the Carolina Panthers. The game was never really out of hand, but the Titans never trailed and secured the victory.

The next most popular game that was chosen was by 3 contestants from League 1 selected the Minnesota Vikings over the Chicago Bears. Although the Vikings took the lead late in the game, the Bears were able to kick a field goal in the closing seconds to give the NFL it’s first win of the season where the victor did not score a touchdown.

The only other game that was chosen was the Philadelphia Eagles over the Buffalo Bills. The best game in the NFL this week, the Bills seemed to have the upper hand several times only for the Eagles to pull it out in the end.

So for those keeping track, there are three contestants in League 1 and two in League 2. There are now only two more weeks until those remaining have to make two choices each week.

For those who are still in the contest, Week 13 is open and ready for you to make your next selection. Make sure you get in there and make your choice early as the selection can be changed up until 1 PM EST on Sunday.
