Impressive Jaguars end Denver’s winning run
The Jacksonville Jaguars pulled off a huge result to win on the road at the Denver Broncos and remain firmly atop the AFC South.
The Broncos had won 11 on the spin before tonight, but were largely second best in a hugely impressive, and surprising, performance by the Jaguars – who looked the real deal and ready for a deep play-off run.
Chaotic finish as Steelers stun Lions
The Pittsburgh Steelers held on for a massive win on the road at the Detroit Lions in one of the craziest endings you are likely to see.
An offensive pass interference call ended the game after a long discussion between officials. Certainly one of those you need to see to believe.
The result tightens the grip on the AFC North for the Steelers while the Lions’ hopes of making the play-offs have taken a huge hit after defeat.

The Carolina Panthers egded out Tampa Bay to replace the Buccaneers on top of the NFC South with a 8-7 record, while the visitors dropped to 7-8.
The Panthers have not made the play-offs since 2017 and not won the NFC South since 2015, but could have a final-day decider against the Bucs when they meet again in two weeks’ time.
Bills hang on to close AFC East gap
The Buffalo Bills kept the pressure on divisional rivals New England by holding on for a 23-20 win at the Cleveland Browns.
Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett registered a half-sack so one more during the last two games of the regular season would take him past the single-season record of 22.5.
