It's no secret the NFL is a league of copycats. If one team finds success with a new wrinkle, you can bet other teams will attempt to duplicate it.

As parents, many of us struggle with the decision to let our kids play football. After all, it is a very physical sport, and none of us wants to see Junior get hurt.

Week 13 was a bit of a historical weekend in the NFL. Here's a look at some of the biggest highlights:

• With the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints winning Sunday, the NFL has two teams sitting at 12-0 for the first time ever.
• With their win, the Colts also tied the New England Patriots' record of 21 consecutive regular-season wins.
• Quarterback Brett Favre surpassed Vikings legend Jim Marshall for the longest consecutive game streak in NFL history by a non-kicker/punter with his 283rd consecutive regular-season game.
• Peyton Manning became the first player all-time to pass for at least 3,500 yards in 12 consecutive seasons. He's also the first player in NFL history to throw at least 25 touchdown passes in 12 seasons in a row.
• San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson scored his 150th touchdown Sunday in what was his 137th career game, making him the fastest player in NFL history to reach 150 total touchdowns. He also joined Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith as the only players to score 150 career touchdowns.
