Steelers to face Ravens for AFC North title next week after Browns upset
Panthers & Bucs also lose to set up final-day decider in NFC South
Seahawks beat Panthers to tighten grip on NFC's top seed
Sunday's results before Bears at 49ers
Arizona Cardinals 7-30 Cincinnati Bengals
Looks like a sixth win of the season coming up for Cincinnati as Chase Brown dives over the line for a six-yard touchdown run.
Brown has 130 total yards in the game so far.
Seattle Seahawks 3-3 Carolina Panthers
Sam Darnold looks for Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone, but former Seahawks defensive back Mike Johnson picks him off!
But hang on, did he stay in bounds? Johnson's right foot was very close to touching the white line at the back of the end zone.
After review, the ruling on the field stands - Panthers ball!
It'll be my super Seahawks in the Super Bowl this year. Hopefully against the Patriots as we owe them one from last time and throwing the ball instead of running it in on the 2 yard line #GoHawks

Can Sam Darnold lead the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl? He's had two stunning seasons but he's still got the big question to answer - can he do it in the play-offs?
Seattle Seahawks 3-3 Carolina Panthers
Seahawks receiver Rashid Shaheed has been ruled out of the rest of this game with a concussion.
New England Patriots 35-3 New York Jets
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's the time of year when players are closing in on performance bonus payments in their contracts - and Stefon Diggs is one of those that has cashed in already.
His touchdown catch in the first half bagged the Patriots receiver a cool $500,000 bonus! Dinner's on him tonight then....
HT: Pittsburgh Steelers 6-10 Cleveland Browns
Image source, Getty ImagesDeion Sanders is in Cleveland to see his son Shedeur face Aaron Rodgers' Pittsburgh, and so far the rookie is getting the better of the four-time MVP.
Deion could also see history in the making as Myles Garrett needs just one more sack to set the all-time record for most in a season.
Cleveland's defensive star registered one hit on Rodgers in the first half but it wasn't a sack.
HT: New Orleans Saints 10-13 Tennessee Titans
Image source, ReutersNew Orleans kicker Charlie Smyth was doubtful for today's game due to illness but has been able to play in Tennessee.
The former Gaelic footballer from County Down, whose recent form was rewarded with a three-year contract, has missed one field-goal attempt from 43 yards but made another from 56 and added the extra point after Chase Young's defensive touchdown.
HT: New England Patriots 35-3 New York Jets
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Patriots have this game in the bag at MetLife with the Jets being given a real kicking by the NFL's most accurate passer Drake Maye.
Maye has completed 17 of his 19 pass attempts for 229 yards and four touchdown throws in a totally dominant offensive display.
New England scored a touchdown on all five possessions in that first half - that's some run! They'll be able to cruise to victory in the second half.
HT: Pittsburgh Steelers 6-10 Cleveland Browns
Image source, Getty ImagesThis is why they have divisional games at the end of the season, as Cleveland have nothing much to play for, but you wouldn't know it with the effort they've put in during that first half.
Defensively the Browns have been excellent yet again, with Aaron Rodgers restricted to just those 72 passing yards and Pittsburgh just two field goals to their names.
Shedeur Sanders has been much better, with a touchdown throw and 164 passing yards - but he has thrown the one interception. And Myles Garrett is still waiting for that record-breaking sack too.
The Steelers need a win here to clinch the AFC North - if they lose though it'll be winner takes all against Baltimore next week!
New Orleans Saints 10-20 Tennessee Titans
A 50-yard pass interference call puts the Titans in the red zone, and Cam Ward makes no mistake.
On second and goal the Titans quarterback finds Elic Ayomanor wide open in the end zone with a seven-yard pass.
Jacksonville Jaguars 7-10 Indianapolis Colts
Image source, ReutersAfter successive punts in Indianapolis, the Jaguars force the Colts to go three-and-out.
But they fail to make the hosts pay as Trevor Lawrence jinks out of the pocket and fires it towards Parker Washington in the end zone, only for it to be picked off by linebacker Germaine Pratt.
That's Lawrence's first interception since week 12, and there's just 21 seconds to half-time so the Jags will trail at the interval.
New England Patriots 35-3 New York Jets
It's a demolition job at Metlife Stadium as Hunter Henry does what he does best - catch red zone touchdowns.
That's a fifth touchdown from five possessions for New England, and this one's the best of the lot with 91 yards covered in 10 plays with more surgical offence driven by Drake Maye. He has had two incompletions now though....
Pittsburgh Steelers 6-10 Cleveland Browns
Aaron Rodgers just about gets enough in the dying seconds to give Chris Boswell a shot from 40, which he nails right on the stroke of half-time.
It's been a tough half for the visitors with Rodgers having just 72 yards passing and the Steelers managing just another 73 yards rushing.
Shedeur Sanders has 179 total yards by himself for Cleveland - but the lead is just four at the break.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-17 Miami Dolphins
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to make this a one score game at half-time, but Chase McLaughlin's 55-yard field goal attempt is blocked. Before today he had made all 11 of his 50+ yard attempts.
This has been a half to forget for Tampa.
Arizona Cardinals 7-20 Cincinnati Bengals
Ja'Marr Chase snags his second touchdown of the game as Cincy increase their lead over Arizona. Joe Burrow has 176 yards and two touchdowns in this first half.
Pittsburgh Steelers 3-10 Cleveland Browns
Nothinbg doing for Pittsburgh, with Aaron Rodgers going long on a fourth down attempt but overthrowing his receiver in the end zone.
An odd call that one, they only needed a yard but opted against the run, and also sat on the Cleveland 22 it would've only been a 40-yard field goal try.
In the end they tried to be a bit too clever maybe and turned it over on downs.
New Orleans Saints 10-13 Tennessee Titans
Chase Young, that's ridiculous!
The Saints defensive end manages to strip the ball from Titans quarterback Cam Ward while sacking him, turns and runs the ball in for a 33-yard touchdown.
That's up there with the best defensive plays of 2025.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-17 Miami Dolphins
Miami quarterback Quinn Ewers finds tight end Greg Dulcich over the middle for an 11-yard touchdown!
That score caps a nine-play, 76-yard drive for a Miami offense that is purring right now. Since punting on the opening drive they have been superb.
Concern for Tampa - defeat could end their play-off hopes.
New England Patriots 28-3 New York Jets
New England pouring it on in New York, with Mike Vrabel going for it on fourth down near the goal line and so he should with the form Drake Maye has been in.
Maye makes no mistake as he throws a short pass to Stefon Diggs for the touchdown - ending an 11-play drive covering 74 yards.
Maye is now 11-for-11 for 139 yards passing and three touchdowns. Brilliant.
