  Chargers are rolling with a head of steam into the playoffs

  This’ll be a third-straight win for the Chargers to close the season, and they’re scoring at will after a couple of uninspired performances on offense. 108 points for the Chargers over their last three games and just 51 points in the three games before that. This win will send the Chargers to Houston, and they’ll avoid another Harbaugh Bowl in the first round.

  This was a Rodgers to Adams classic

  The scrambling, the stopping Adams, the TD. Packers fans know this well. This is the 83rd time these two have connected for a touchdown.

  Herbert to Quentin Johnston

  This is equal parts outrageous throw and outrageous catch. The chargers are going to be fun to watch in the playoffs. This throw put Herbert over 300 yards for the game — just his second 300+ yard passing game of the season.

  Dolphins draw closer to the Jets

  BIG field goal for the Rams to go ahead of the Seahawks

  It bears repeating, a Rams win means they avoid the Vikings-Lions loser (or Vikings, in the event of a Sunday Night Football tie) in the first round of the playoffs. Not that Washington is a slouch, but the NFC has two 14-win teams and one of them will be on the road for at least the first two weekends of the playoffs.

  The rout has been on in Denver, and the Broncos are just adding to the work for the scoreboard operator

  This’ll be just Denver’s second win over Kansas City in their last 19 meetings. Also, if the goose egg for the Chiefs holds, it’ll be the first Denver shutout of Kansas City since 1984.

  Josh Dobbs finds Kyle Juszczyk for a 49ers score

  He’s really a Toofer … because you get a fullback and a Harvard guy. Oh, and a pretty great offensive weapon to compliment the cache of weapons the 49ers have on offense. Oh what could have been if the injury bug didn’t bite so much this year in San Francisco.

  Justin Herbert picks up 41 to get the Chargers into scoring position

  Herbert has career highs in rushing yards and attempts this season, and this one will be on his rushing highlight reel for the 2024-25 season.

  The tight end position is in GOOD hands for the future of the NFL

  Seeing him at Georgia, you kinda thought Brock Bowers might be a guy like this in the NFL. He’s delivered, and then some, in his record-setting rookie season.

• Mon, January 6, 2025 at 12:27 AM GMT+1

  That’s two scores for Marvin Mims Jr.

  The Broncos have one foot on the plane to Buffalo for next weekend. Kansas City has found some ways to win this season, but this one looks like it’s all but over at the end of the third quarter with the Broncos ahead 31-0.

• Mon, January 6, 2025 at 12:22 AM GMT+1

  Calais Campbell picks up a sack and a nice bonus

  $300,000 for Campbell for his 5th sack of the season. Not bad for the 38-year-old, six-time Pro Bowl defensive end.

  Chargers take 17-10 lead in Las Vegas

  With a win, the Chargers will lock in the No. 5 seed and book a trip to Houston for their playoff opener.

  Jets pick off Huntley again

  The Broncos are way ahead of the Chiefs, but the Dolphins are having all kinds of trouble on offense. This is the second interception he’s thrown in the game, and he’s also lost a fumble.

  It’s just a rough first half for the Dolphins, who are without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa due to a hip injury to close the regular season.
