On Thursday, the Jacksonville Jaguars continued their quest for the AFC South title by beating the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
The Buffalo Bills, meanwhile, captured their third straight AFC East title with a triumph over the Chicago Bears combined with a New England Patriots loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. And with a decision over the Atlanta Falcons, the Baltimore Ravens secured a playoff bid. The Minnesota Vikings won another one-score game — their NFL-record 11th of the season — and the Kansas City Chiefs proved too much for the Seattle Seahawks.
The late afternoon contests saw the Dallas Cowboys stay alive in the NFC East with a comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, and the San Francisco 49ers win their eighth straight by besting the Washington Commanders. In the Saturday night game, the Las Vegas Raiders allowed another lead to slip away, as the Pittsburgh Steelers honored the late Franco Harris with a late rally on a frigid night in the Steel City.
