NFL Week 16 lived up to the hype as pressure was put onto the teams looking to make the playoffs. Several games came down to the wire and a couple went into overtime.
The rookie A&M receiver finally got his first big moment on the big stage, catching a six-yard touchdown from Bears quarterback Caleb Williams with just 24 seconds left in the game to cap off a 10-point comeback in the fourth quarter by Chicago, sending the game to overtime in what ended up being a 22-16 win for the team over the Green Bay Packers.
It has been a very quiet game up in Seattle but here's a very loud play: Philip Rivers -- a 44-year-old grandfather who is fresh off his couch and coaching high-school football -- throws a touchdown pass to Josh Downs on the crossing route to extend Indianapolis' lead. Rivers started slow but is 10 of 16 for 81 yards and this score.
The Carolina Panthers will have an opportunity to clinch the NFC South’s spot in the NFL playoffs on Sunday for the first time since 2015, but only if they beat the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose to the Miami Dolphins.
On a short week for multiple NFL teams, you're going to get Bleacher Report's Week 17 picks against the spread a day earlier than usual—consider it an early present for the holiday.
On the Eagles' end, their weakness has been turnovers. Philadelphia has four games this year with two or more turnovers and the Eagles have gone 0-4 in those games. If any defense out there can take advantage of that, it's a Bills unit that has forced 20 turnovers this year, which ranks in the top eight in the NFL.
Herbert threw two scoring passes and added a rushing touchdown, guiding Los Angeles to a fourth straight victory. The Chargers improved to 11-4 and remained in position to secure a postseason berth later in the day, depending on results elsewhere.
