Week 16 of the NFL season continues Sunday with a slew of can’t-miss matchups.
In the early slate, the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were among those to earn big victories.
In the afternoon slate, the Chicago Bears are taking on the Seattle Seahawks on an unusually cold Seattle day.
Elsewhere, the Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Denver Broncos battle the Las Vegas Raiders.
In Sunday’s finale, the Washington Football Team is in Dallas to take on the Cowboys (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC).
Here are the top moments from Week 16.
Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks
Snow problem
Just because it was snowing in Seattle didn’t mean the Seahawks couldn’t air it out. Russell Wilson connected on a 41-yard bomb with DK Metcalf to get the scoring started.
Ground game
While the Seahawks found the end zone through the air, the Bears decided to try their luck on the ground, tying the game with a David Montgomery rushing touchdown.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs
Just keep pushing
Two Steelers hit Clyde Edwards-Helaire, neither brought him down, and the result was a touchdown for the Chiefs.
Streaking defense
For the 10th consecutive game, the Chiefs recorded an interception, this one coming from Charvarius Ward.
Two for one
The Chiefs added a second touchdown in the first quarter to take a 14-0 lead behind a hookup between Patrick Mahomes and Byron Pringle.
Contested catches
The Steelers were down big early, but Chase Claypool was doing his part to try and get them back into the game with consecutive tough catches to move the chains in the second quarter.
The route is on
Mecole Hardman joined in on the fun for the Chiefs in the second quarter, scoring a red zone touchdown to extend their lead to 23-0 over the Steelers.
Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders
Patience is key
There weren’t any point scored between the Broncos and Raiders in the first quarter, but there were signs of life in the second.
Derek Carr connected with Hunter Renfrow to give the Raiders a 7-0 lead in the second quarter.
Buffalo Bills 33, New England Patriots 21
4th & Go
Teams are going for it on fourth own more and more in this age’s analytics-driven game. The Bills opted for the numbers on their first drive into the red zone, striking first with this Josh Allen dime to Isaiah McKenzie.
Turbocharged
Damien Harris hit an extra gear to plow his way into the end zone to tie it at 7-7 for the Pats.
Multifaceted
The best part of Josh Allen’s game differs depending on who you ask. On this play, he showed why some folks think it’s his running ability.
Right place, right time
That’s exactly what Micah Hyde was on this critical pick late in the second.
I can Digg it
Boy is it hard to stop Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs.
Double-dose!
Welcome back to the end zone, Damien Harris.
1 … 2 …
Guess who for New England?
Never a question
On Buffalo’s next drive, it opted to go for it on another 4th down. Sean McDermott put the ball in Josh Allen’s hands … And he delivered.
This would be the finishing touch on a 33-21 win for the Bills to put them in first-place in the AFC East.
Los Angeles Rams 30, Minnesota Vikings 23
Spin cycle!
LA’s Sony Michel made something from nothing to find the end zone on this whirlwind play.
Never a bad time
Any time a defense can get a takeaway, it’s a good thing. Despite allowing the Vikes to push their way into the red zone, L.A. thwarted their scoring attempt with a clutch interception from Travin Howard.
Barred!
“Don’t try it, Matthew Stafford” — Anthony Barr, probably.
Double-barred
Barr had Stafford in lockdown:
Minnesota followed the INT up with an Alexander Mattison TD:
He’s got blockers …
Brandon Powell Injected the Rams with life on this big punt return TD.
Get griddy with it!
Normally when you see the “griddy” dance, it’s Justin Jefferson who’s doing the celebration. This time, Odell Beckham Jr. got in on the party after hauling in TD grab for L.A.
Big play Kirk
Cousins looked like a consummate captain on Minnesota’s next drive. He found K.J. Osborn at the goal line to bring the Vikes within a score.
The Rams would eventually hold on to win 30-23 and clinch their spot in the NFC playoffs while also moving into first place in the NFC West.
Cincinnati Bengals 41, Baltimore Ravens 21
Flock to the end zone
Hey, Josh Johnson, welcome back to the starting lineup!
Touchdown machine
Joe Mixon sniffed his way past the pylon, using his hyper end-zone-sensing capabilities on this play for Cincy:
Deuces!
Goodbye, Tyler Boyd!
Mixon ’em up
Make that two for Mixon.
Tee it up!
Joe Burrow on this throw: “Tee’s down there somewhere.”
It was only right that Higgins pulled in the ensuing TD grab.
Keepin’ it consistent
Another Sunday, another Mark Andrews TD. It’s like clockwork.
Ochocinco
Higgins looked like another great Bengals WR on this play.
The impressive win over the Ravens placed the Bengals alone atop the AFC North standings.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 32, Carolina Panthers 6
Stepping up … and out
The Bucs are missing a laundry list of receivers. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t capable at the position. Enter Ke’Shawn Vaughn.
Bounce back
After a rough go last week, Tom Brady seemed to be back on track in the first half against Carolina.
Philadelphia Eagles 34, New York Giants 10
Fly high
Boston Scott broke through the plane for Philly’s first TD of the day.
Deep shot!
After struggling in the first half, Jalen Hurts stepped into form. This heave to Quez Watkins was good for a 39-yard completion.
Staying in bounds
DeVonta Smith won the Heisman for a reason. He showed off his playmaking skills on this scoring grab to put the birds up 20-3.
Skill player
There aren’t a lot of things linemen can’t do. Hurts rewarded Lane Johnson’s protective efforts with a holiday TD care package.
Soaring
Philly stamped home its victory with a defensive TD from Alex Singleton.
Despite being short-handed on the day, the Buccaneers were able to secure a win and in the process locked up the NFC South.
Atlanta Falcons 20, Detroit Lions 16
Familiar visitor
This guy’s name and the word “touchdown” have gone together a lot this season.
Made ya look!
Falcons punter Jack Fox showed off the arm strength on this fake punt.
Making an impression
Amon-Ra St. Brown is certainly making his presence felt during his rookie season. He got rid of the defense to score a TD for the second straight week!
Matty ice
Matt Ryan put the Falcons ahead 20-13 on this cold-blooded TD toss to Hayden Hurst.
Houston Texans 41, Los Angeles Chargers 29
Rumble young man
Rex Burkhead can still do this:
Bolting past ’em
Justin Jackson showed off the speed as he darted his way into the end zone on this play.
Incorrect address
This isn’t who Justin Herbert intended this pass for.
Over the top!
Davis Mills uncorked a perfect throw to put Houston ahead, 17-12 at the half.
The Jackson two
That’s two trips to the end zone for Justin Jackson.
Upset alert!
Mills broke into the scoring column again with another late TD toss.
Nail in the coffin
Moment later, Tavierre Thomas secured the W with this massive pick-six.
New York Jets 26, Jacksonville Jaguars 21
Did anyone know Zach Wilson could do this?
Not how they drew it up
We’ve got a lineman TD! This wasn’t by design, but it still counts the same.
Length of the field
Take a breather, Braxton Berrios. You deserve it after this 103-yard game breaker.
Go up and get it!
The Jets extended their lead on this Zach Wilson dime to Conor McDermott.
Not over till it’s over
Jacksonville climbed within two on this resounding TD punch.
