Preamble
Jacksonville won the AFC South!!!
Final score: Titans 7-41 Jaguars
The Jags remain in contention for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. If the Patriots and Broncos lose later, the bye week is theirs.
CHOOSE! Saints 10-16 Falcons 3:09, 4th quarter
Oh no! Tyler Shaw is intercepted in the red zone and Dee Alford rushes from Atlanta to the New Orleans 30-yard line. Panthers fans will be dreaming of the playoffs with just three minutes left before they clinch the NFC South with a win over the Falcons.
Saints 10–16 Falcons 3:29, 4th quarter
New Orleans is in the red zone on 2nd and 7, Shaw circles long, but Ronnie Bell has just been dethroned. So close.
Final score: Packers – Vikings 3-16.
Clayton Thune, Green Bay's third-string QB, finished 6/11 for 34 yards while being sacked four times. Oh. It's clear that all the backups for the Packers' roster were already reserved for the seventh seed in the NFC.
TOUCHDOWN! Cowboys 17-34 Giants 5:48 4th quarter
The Giants are now attacking their opponents. What a finish after a difficult season.
Colts 27-29 Texans 11:15 4th quarter
The kicker battle continues as the Texans regain the lead for the third time.
TOUCHDOWN! Browns 17-18 Bengals 1:29, 4th quarter
Go Cincinnati! Good news for the Browns' draft hopes: a loss would move them up to the fifth pick if the Giants win.
Saints 10–16 Falcons 6:42, 4th quarter
Chase Young continues his dominance, retrieving the ball off a pass to Bijan Robinson.
Saints 10–16 Falcons 8:11, 4th quarter
Atlanta is back in possession after a Saints punt. Kyle Pitts moves the chains with a beautiful, stuttering stride and stiff arm. The tight end gains 13 yards, but on the next play Kirk Cousins SHOCKS Chase Young for an eight-yard loss. 2nd and 18 is coming.

TOUCHDOWN! Titans 7-41 Jaguars 7:28, 4th quarter
This is good! Colts 26-27 Texans 3:00 p.m., 4th quarter
Indy takes back the lead! Nail robber.
This is good! Saints 10–16 Falcons 10:43, 4th quarter
Atlanta fumbles on second, third, and long after that Drake London almost makes an incredible catch that could have been a touchdown.
Myles Garrett breaks NFL sack record
The Cleveland pass rusher has the most sacks in a single season after beating Joe Burrow for his 23rd takedown of the year. Congratulations to the big man who is one of the best to ever do it.
Saints 10–13 Falcons 12:55, 4th quarter
Atlanta punts first on third down with 10 yards left. Darnell Mooney used a toe drag to move the chains 30 yards for a touchdown.
TOUCHDOWN! Cowboys 17-24 Giants 14:57, 4th quarter
In other advertising news, Tom Brady is shocking all time with his Pizza Hut commercial. His “rough passer” line is as wooden as it gets after being sacked by an octogenarian. Unfortunately, this ad is not yet on YouTube, so Donald Trump seems like a natural progression.
This is good! Colts 24-26 Texans 6:53 3rd quarter
The Texans take back the lead in this rocking thriller, which unfortunately lost its edge after the Jaguars crushed the Titans.
NO TOUCHDOWN! Saints 10–13 Falcons 2:15, 3rd quarter
Tyler Shaw throws it out on first and goal after the Falcons sniff the screen and turn it off. On second down, Audric Estim fell short of the end zone. There's one yard left, but they fail again! Now on 4th down, they score on a short pass, but Dante Pettis is stopped for offensive pass interference. There were 11 yards left on 4th down and they went all the way.
Colts 24-23 Texans 10:19 3rd quarter
Houston wisely mothballed C.J. Stroud and Jacksonville led 34-7. Davis Mills plays quarterback, trying to regain the lead.
Philadelphia fans are preparing for a date with Washington in a while. I'm not saying anything…
Okay, I just saw the trailer for a show called “Best Medicine” on the Atlanta Falcons. It screamed Doc Martin was a rip off and it turned out to be an official remake! “Critics are raving about this show of the year,” says our commentary team. Enjoy!
This is good! Saints 7–13 Falcons 8:51, 3rd quarter
The Saints chase Kirk Cousins on third, who has to throw the ball away.
Saints 7-10 Falcons 9:04, 3rd quarter
Kirk Cousins still got it. The veteran throws a perfect arc to Drake London, who reaches for the top shelf and falls, tackling him on the sideline. A nice 37-yard gain leaves 33 yards to go for the score.
TOUCHDOWN! Colts 24-23 Texans 1:05 p.m., 3rd quarter.
The newcomer becomes unsettled and collapses. A quick score to go along with his two passing touchdowns. Are there any Indy fans at home? Should Riley Leonard have started the last three games? Philip Rivers did it and lost? Obviously this tiny sample size is too small to really answer, but it's still very impressive against a tough Texans defense.
TOUCHDOWN! Cowboys 10-24 Giants 9:48 3rd quarter
The Giants will move on from the second overall pick in next year's draft and select seven as they stand. They go for two after the penalty in Dallas and capitalize on it.
Saints 7-10 Falcons 11:20, 3rd quarter
Atlanta's defense got aggressive and sacked Tyler Shaw on consecutive plays to force a punt.
Saints 7-10 Falcons 14:11, 3rd quarter
With the AFC South concluded, let's shed some light on the LOL bowl between the Saints and Falcons. The winner of which seals the NFC South for either the Panthers or Buccaneers. The Falcons send the Panthers into the playoffs with a win, and the Saints send the Bucs ahead with a W.
Jaguars seriously train muscles reaching the playoffs. It was a fantastic finish for them after a rocky start to the season where they were 5-4 and would be 13-4 after two quarters. It's hard not to look at Trevor Lawrence's miraculous and slightly fluke touchdown that dethroned the Chiefs back in October as a key moment in cementing their status as contenders.

Houston is still on the field with seconds left in field goal range… while as it stands, the Jaguars will win the AFC South and remain in the race for the No. 1 seed, while the Panthers will simply win the NFC South while the Falcons beat the Saints.
TOUCHDOWN! Colts 17-20 Texans 1:25 2nd quarter
Indy may be kicking himself for not giving the rookie a chance instead of Philip Rivers. Probably not, but Leonard bounces off a strip bag for Alec Pierce's second goal.
This is good! Titans 7-31 Jaguars 0:00, 2nd quarter
WHAT!? Second longest field goal in NFL History, and there's still a lot of length to it! The Jaguars are playing with their food, and it's only halftime. Ridiculous.
TOUCHDOWN! Cowboys 10-16 Giants 0:20, 2nd quarter
The G-men are taking on a perhaps unwanted advantage that could take them from the second overall pick in the draft to five or six. Jackson Dart barely escapes the sack and sneaks the ball to Bellinger for the receiver to run home. Completely off-script, no less effective mind.
TOUCHDOWN! Browns 14-12 Bengals 0:18, 2nd quarter
