    It was really remarkable for Kenneth Gainwell to hang on to the ball, have the foresight, have the wherewithal to scoot into the end zone. He knew that if he'd have stayed down, the clock would have run out and he wouldn't have had time to get down there.

    Brilliant start to the second half for Denver as RJ Harvey breaks off on a long 38-yard rush ending with a dive into the end zone to tie this game up at 17-17.

    The Jaguars did well to limit the Broncos in the opening 30 minutes but they missed some tackles there as Harvey drags Denver level.

    The Houston Texans lead the Las Vegas Raiders by six points at the break but it has been far from a vintage performance from the hosts.

    They are yet to score an offensive touchdown against a gritty Raiders defence and their only six has come courtesy of Derek Stingley Jr's first NFL pick six.

    Brock Bowers got into the endzone for the seventh time this season to keep this one interesting going into the second half.

    What a play! Kenneth Gainwell has just scored one of those crazy touchdowns that are becoming the norm in the NFL recently.

    Gainwell stumbles as he looks to catch a deep ball from Aaron Rodgers at the end of the half, but while on the floor he still manages to gather the ball without it touching the ground.

    The defender doesn't notice so Gainwell is able to just get up and walk into the end zone and tie the game at half-time.

    Incredible!

  5. HT: Impressive Jags came to playpublished at 22:50 GMT 21 December 2025

    Go on, admit it, you didn't expect this display from the Jaguars in Denver did you? Nobody did really but they've been mightily impressive in the first half.

    Trevor Lawrence has been sacked three times but he's weathered the onslaught and thrown two touchdowns and 130 yards - while the defence has limited Denver to the one touchdown so far.

    Jacksonville are showing that they're the real deal and if they pull off the win here the NFL better sit up and take notice.

    There is no separating the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals at the break with the two playing out a fun first half of football.

    Michael Wilson opened the touchdown scoring on the day for the Cardinals but the Falcons responded with Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts both getting into the endzone for the visitors.

    Both of these have little to lose on the season at this point and that could lead us to an exciting second half of action.

    Cam Little strokes over a 47-yard field goal right at the end of the half to stretch the lead to seven points at the interval after more impressive stuff from the Jaguars on both sides of the ball.

    They first make Denver punt and then go on a nine-play, 58-yard drive in just under two minutes to have the last say of a great first half for the visitors.

    With under a minute remaining, the Cardinals manage to get back up the field and get themselves in field goal position with two seconds on the clock.

    Chad Ryland lines up from 50-yards but his effort doinks off the upright!

    We're going into the break all square.

    We've seen pictures from broadcaster CBS of Steelers receiver DK Metcalf grabbing and aiming a swipe at a Detroit fan in the stands at Ford Field.

    I suspect Metcalf will be hearing from the NFL about that altercation pretty soon...

    Can't see Kelce coming back for another season. Unlikely Mahomes would be ready to go in September coming back from the ACL injury. Kelce will be in Hall of Fame in 5 years time.

    Rookie Isaac TeSlaa takes a big-time touchdown catch from Jared Goff as he's in heavy traffic and gets drilled as he leaps up to make the grab - but clings on brilliantly.

    It's a fifth touchdown of the season for TeSlaa and puts Detroit into a crucial lead.

    What a drive to end the half for the Atlanta Falcons and it's Kyle Pitts who played a big part and then finished it off.

    Kirk Cousins found his tight end on a number of key throws on that drive before finding him in the endzone for six.

    The extra point kick is blocked and we're all square.

    The Steelers have protected Aaron Rodgers quite well, he hasn't been under duress a lot, so I like where they're at right now.

    When you've been through a lot already, you just don't want to give the home crowd a reason to believe the more they make noise, the more it's helping their team. Pittsburgh have kind of neutralised the crowd. It hasn't been the most exciting game, and that's exactly what they want.

    Travis should hang up the boots and marry Tay-Tay. That way the Chiefs become more likeable without that distraction and can focus on title aspirations and possibly a rebuild.
