    Seattle Seahawks 17-10 Carolina Panthers

    On 2nd&3 at the Seahawks 10, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young scrambles for a touchdown.

    Remember, no QB in the NFL has led more game-winning drives in the last two seasons than Young (10).

    He's just under 14 minutes to make it 11.

  4. Pittsburgh puntpublished at 20:22 GMT 28 December 2025

    Pittsburgh Steelers 6-10 Cleveland Browns

    The Browns defence comes up big again as Pittsburgh have to punt it away and Shedeur Sanders will get the ball back, albeit backed up inside his own 10 after a penalty.

    We've got one of those rare moments now when the browns are being cheered on from big rivals Baltimore - which really is something given their history.

  5. Maye's done for the daypublished at 20:19 GMT 28 December 2025

    After six touchdowns on six drives Drake Maye is done for the day, with Mike Vrabel giving him the rest of the night off midway through the third quarter - with Josh Dobbs getting some minutes.

    And just look at Maye's stat line - 17-of-19 for 256 yards and five touchdowns - incredible stuff from the second-year quarterback.

    I'll say again, MVP stuff?

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10-20 Miami Dolphins

    Baker Mayfield looks for Mike Evans with a perfect deep pass down the middle, but unusually the Bucs star receiver can't haul it in under pressure.

    The Bucs are forced to punt.

  7. Big pick for Pittsburgh!published at 20:13 GMT 28 December 2025

    Pittsburgh Steelers 6-10 Cleveland Browns

    Could be a huge reprieve here for Pittsburgh as Kyle Dugger picks off Shedeur Sanders on the Steelers 34-yard line to give Aaron Rodgers the ball back.

    There's 12 minutes left on the clock, can Rodgers lead one of his fourth-quarter comebacks?

  8. field goal

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10-20 Miami Dolphins

    Riley Patterson nails a 31-yard field goal to give Miami a two-score lead.

    With the Carolina Panthers currently trailing to the Seattle Seahawks, this isn't a disaster for the Buccaneers.

    As things stand the race to win the NFC South will be decided next week when the Bucs face the Panthers.

  9. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bengalspublished at 20:11 GMT 28 December 2025

    Arizona Cardinals 7-37 Cincinnati Bengals

    Chase Brown scores his second touchdown of the game to put a further gloss on this emphatic victory in waiting for the Bengals.

    Joe Burrow has gone over 300 yards passing and has been dealing it out to everyone - he's even thrown a pass for 354lbs pound offensive lineman Cody Ford just for good measure!

    Hello... the Colts are back in front in Indy.

    They get into the red zone before Philip Rivers fakes a hand-off to Jonathan Taylor and lofts it over the line of scrimmage to Mo Alie-Cox at the back of the end zone, giving the tight end his first touchdown of the season.

  11. Field goal missed!published at 20:07 GMT 28 December 2025

    Aaron Rodgers goes down sacked - but it's not Myles Garrett getting the record.

    It means Chris Boswell is out again for a field goal, but he's wide right from 54 yards as Pittsburgh remain four points behind!

    That could be a huge miss in Pittsburgh's season.

  12. touchdown

    Touchdown - Seahawkspublished at 20:04 GMT 28 December 2025

    Seattle Seahawks 17-3 Carolina Panthers

    Seattle take full advantage of that Bryce Young interception as Sam Darnold finds AJ Barner to his right who runs in for a 17-yard touchdown.

    The PAT from Jason Myers is good, and the Seahawks are tightening their grip on the top seed in the NFC.

  13. Into the fourth quarter...published at 20:03 GMT 28 December 2025

    Pittsburgh Steelers 6-10 Cleveland Browns

    The third quarter ends with Jaylen Warren running for a first down and when the fourth quarter begins Aaron Rodgers has a fresh set of downs and the ball on the Cleveland 27.

    They badly need a touchdown here - Pittsburgh really don't want to go down to a final-day decider against Baltimore do they?

  14. Turnoverpublished at 20:01 GMT 28 December 2025

    Seattle Seahawks 10-3 Carolina Panthers

    This third quarter goes from bad to worse for the Carolina Panthers as Bryce Young is intercepted inside the Panthers half.

    It's beginning to unravel for the Carolina offence - two possessions, two turnovers to start the half.

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10-17 Miami Dolphins

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin shakes off that blocked field goal just before half-time by converting a 33-yard attempt. We're back to a one-score game.

    It's getting really ugly now for the Jets, as New England hang the 40-burger on them thanks to Drake Maye hitting Efton Chism III with a 10-yard touchdown pass.

    The Patriots have had the ball six times and have scored six touchdowns - Drake Maye has passed for five of those along with 256 yards and just two incompletions.

    Congratulations if he's your fantasy quarterback in the final games tonight!

    The third quarter begins with two punts before Trevor Lawrence puts the Jaguars in front for the first time.

    The former number one draft pick goes down the middle untouched to cap an 81-yard drive and claim his second rushing touchdown of the day, this time from six yards.

  18. touchdown

    The Seahawks make sure they score this time!

    On third and goal Zach Charbonnet rushes up the middle for a two-yard score. The PAT is good.

    What a wild start to the third quarter.

    The New Orleans Saints are back in this one!

    WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING?

    Having just lost the ball on a Sam Darnold interception, Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard fumbles and the Seahawks recover!

    DeMarcus Lawrence runs the ball into the end zone, but is ruled down by contact. Seattle take over at the Carolina 21.
