The New England Patriots (7-9) defeated the New York Jets (2-14) in the final game of an underwhelming season for both sides. Cam Newton wasn’t the successor to Tom Brady that most Patriots fans were hoping for, and Sam Darnold disappointed once again this year for the Jets. Despite it being an ugly year for New England, they continued their recent streak of dominance over New York, ending the 2020 campaign on a high note.
“The road to Tampa goes through Lambeau”
In one of the late afternoon slots in week number 16, the Los Angeles Rams traveled to Seattle to battle the Seahawks in an all-important NFC West showdown. Backed by a stellar effort from their much-improved defense, Seattle captured their 5th NFC West title under head coach Pete Carroll in a 20-9 victory. Holding the high-powered Los Angeles passing attack to just 216 yards through the air, Ken Norton Jr’s group sacked quarterback Jared Goff three times while also stopping the team at their own one-yard line to set the tone for the win.
Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers are not just very good at football, but they are historically good at football. Rodgers and Adams have made a habit of setting at least one record a week, and Week 16 was no different in their 40-14 rout of the Titans.
The Cleveland Browns needed a win yesterday to solidify their place in the 2020 NFL Playoffs. They did just that. The Browns are ever so close to ending a 17-year playoff drought and also matched their best record since 2007.
In the early window of Sunday games, Andy Dalton threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns as Dallas Cowboys cruised to a 41-33 win against the San Francisco 49ers in Arlington, Tex.
Even ugly wins qualify as wins. The Green Bay Packers pulled out an ugly 24-16 win over the Carolina Panthers on Saturday night. The Green Bay offense produced 145 rushing yards from Aaron Jones and only 143 passing yards from Aaron Rodgers, but Green Bay was able to ride a dominant first half to remain in possession of the NFC’s number one seed.
What an absolutely mind-boggling game. The Baltimore Ravens (8-5) escaped from Ohio with a win after beating the Cleveland Browns (9-4) in the game of the season.
In a game between two of the NFL’s hottest teams, the Miami Dolphins played host to the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in week 14. Up to the task on defense, the Dolphins forced Patrick Mahomes and the high powered Kansas City passing attack into four turnovers in one of their finest performances of the season.
The Green Bay Packers are officially the NFC North Champions and are in control of their own destiny. With their 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions, and losses from the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints today, the Packers are division champions and the number one seed in the NFC.
A matchup between two teams at opposite ends of the AFC playoff race, the Los Angeles Chargers traveled to Buffalo to battle the Bills on Sunday. A game that ultimately felt much closer than it was, Anthony Lynn’s team fell behind by multiple scores early and could never recover. Nearly giving the game away in the final quarter, Josh Allen and the Bills offense turned the ball over on three consecutive possessions in their sloppiest stretch of play so far this season. Securing their second winning season in a row for the first time in 20 years, here’s how the Bills defeated the Chargers.
