Steelers 29, Lions 24

Jaylen Warren ran for 143 yards and two touchdowns, while Kenneth Gainwell delivered the play of the game—an acrobatic, high-arching catch turned 45-yard touchdown with two seconds left in the first half—to help Pittsburgh escape Detroit. Aaron Rodgers went 27-of-41 for 266 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers improved to 9-6 and won their third straight, extending their streak of avoiding a regular-season losing record (dating to 2004).

Jared Goff threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns for Detroit (8-7), hitting Isaac TeSlaa, Kalif Raymond, and Jahmyr Gibbs for scores. The ending turned chaotic when Amon-Ra St. Brown was called for offensive pass interference, negating what would’ve been a winning touchdown as time expired after a lengthy officials’ huddle.

Jaguars 34, Broncos 20

Trevor Lawrence accounted for four touchdowns (three passing, one rushing) as Jacksonville (11-4) won its sixth straight and ended Denver’s 11-game winning streak. Lawrence finished 23-of-36 for 279 yards. Parker Washington erupted for a career-high 145 receiving yards and a TD, while Brenton Strong and Travis Etienne Jr. also caught scoring passes.

Bo Nix threw for a career-high 352 yards and a touchdown for Denver (12-3). Courtland Sutton caught a TD and finished with 86 yards, while RJ Harvey added a rushing score.

Panthers 23, Buccaneers 20

Ryan Fitzgerald drilled a 48-yard field goal with 2:20 left, and Lathan Ransom intercepted a pass on the next possession to seal a critical NFC South win for Carolina. Bryce Young threw for two touchdowns and 191 yards. Baker Mayfield threw for 145 yards and a TD, but Tampa Bay dropped its sixth game in the last seven.

Carolina (8-7) now leads the Bucs (7-8) by one game with two to play, and the teams meet again in two weeks to end the season. If you’re tracking division-clinch scenarios and pricing volatility, keep the NFL odds and scores page open because late-week movement can be brutal once injury statuses lock.

Patriots 28, Ravens 24

Drake Maye threw for 380 yards and two touchdowns as New England (12-3) stayed perfect on the road (7-0) with a comeback win in Baltimore. Rhamondre Stevenson’s 21-yard TD run put the Pats ahead late, and a recovered Ravens fumble on the next drive let New England run out the clock.

Derrick Henry ran for 128 yards and two scores for Baltimore (7-8), which played most of the night without Lamar Jackson after he left with a back injury late in the first half.

Chargers 34, Cowboys 17

Justin Herbert threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns and added a rushing score as the Chargers (11-4) won for the seventh time in eight games. Quentin Johnston (104 yards, TD) and Ladd McConkey (TD) led the receiving damage, while Omarion Hampton ran for 85 yards and a TD.

Dak Prescott threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns for Dallas (6-8-1), already eliminated the day before.

Bills 23, Browns 20

James Cook ran for 117 yards and two touchdowns as Buffalo (11-4) won its fourth straight and moved closer to clinching its seventh consecutive playoff berth. Josh Allen returned after a first-half leg scare and finished 12-of-19 for 130 yards. Ty Johnson added a tie-breaking 2-yard TD run.

Harold Fannin Jr. scored twice for Cleveland (3-12). Shedeur Sanders threw for 157 yards and a TD but was picked off twice as the Browns lost their fourth straight.

Texans 23, Raiders 21

Dalton Schultz caught the go-ahead TD and set Houston’s single-season record for receptions by a tight end as the Texans (10-5) stayed in the AFC South race despite modest production (270 yards, 16 first downs). Schultz’s 1-yard catch from C.J. Stroud made it 23-14 with 7:41 left.

Las Vegas (2-13) nearly stole it behind Ashton Jeanty’s 188 yards from scrimmage, including 128 rushing yards and a 51-yard TD run late, but Houston bled the clock out.

Bengals 45, Dolphins 21

Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes with no interceptions (309 yards) as Cincinnati steamrolled Miami. Chase Brown scored three touchdowns, and the Bengals (5-10) snapped a two-game skid while winning for just the second time in eight games.

Rookie Quinn Ewers made his first NFL start for Miami (6-9) after the team benched Tua Tagovailoa. Ewers threw for 260 yards but tossed two picks as the Dolphins faded after halftime.

Titans 26, Chiefs 9

Cam Ward threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns as Tennessee snapped an 11-game home losing streak dating to last season. Tony Pollard ran for 102 yards, and the Titans dominated time of possession (38:01).

Kansas City (6-9) was shredded by injuries: already without Patrick Mahomes and Rashee Rice, the Chiefs lost Gardner Minshew early to a knee injury, forcing Chris Oladokun into action (11-of-16, 111 yards).

Saints 29, Jets 6

Charlie Smyth tied a franchise record with five field goals, and Chris Olave caught two TDs from two different quarterbacks as New Orleans won without allowing a touchdown. Tyler Shough threw for 308 yards and a TD, and the Saints improved to 4-3 since he became the starter.

Rookie Brady Cook completed 22-of-35 for 188 yards but was sacked eight times as the Jets fell to 3-12.

Falcons 26, Cardinals 19

Kirk Cousins threw for 197 yards and two touchdowns and added a rushing score as Atlanta won in Arizona for the first time since 2001. Bijan Robinson totaled 168 yards from scrimmage and a TD (76 rushing; 92 receiving), and Tyler Allgeier added 79 rushing.

Jacoby Brissett threw for 203 yards with a TD and an interception as Arizona lost its seventh straight.

Vikings 16, Giants 13

Backup Max Brosmer led a go-ahead scoring drive late as Minnesota (7-8) won its third straight and outgained New York 240-141. Brosmer went 7-of-9 for 52 yards after replacing an injured J.J. McCarthy, who also rushed for a TD before hurting his right hand.

Jaxson Dart threw for 33 yards and an interception as the Giants (2-13) lost their ninth straight.
