Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-20 Carolina Panthers
What did we say! It's going to be a thriller in Charlotte as Ja'Tavion Sanders gathers a six-yard touchdown pass from Bryce Young to send Carolina back into the lead.
Buffalo Bills 23-17 Cleveland Browns
Well, well, well...
Tight end turning running back, Harold Fannin Jr takes the snap and rushes in from the one-yard line.
That's his second of the day and this one just got interesting.

Wow! Big moment.
Dallas go for it on fourth and one from inside the Chargers' 15 - they opt to rush with full back Hunter Luepke but he's stuffed and doesn't make it to the yard to gain!
Chargers take over.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-13 Carolina Panthers
Wow, NFC South turning into a right humdinger... will it be Panthers or Bucs, this is going down to the wire.

Cincinnati Bengals 31-14 Miami Dolphins
Miami cough up another turnover, with this time Quinn Ewers being intercepted, and Cincinnati again make them pay.
Chase Brown gets in from 12 yards for his second touchdown in just over a minute - and his seventh all season.
Buffalo Bills 23-10 Cleveland Browns
Buffalo capitalise on the turnover with three points.
Michael Badgley knocks it through to extend the lead to 13.

Sean Tucker drives over on a one-yard touchdown plunge as Tampa Bay go back in front.
Mike Evans can get an assist there as he drew a pass interference flag in the end zone with the Panthers defence worried about the Bucs' star man in the red zone.
This one looks set for a close finish here folks.
Kansas City Chiefs 6-16 Tennessee Titans
Could this be a connection to watch for Tennessee as their two rookies combine for a touchdown. Top draft pick Cam Ward hits his fellow rookie, receiver Chimere Dike, for a one-yard touchdown.
Ward has not been great for most of the season but has improved recently, and Dike looks the part as well today. Promising signs for the Titans.
Cincinnati Bengals 24-14 Miami Dolphins
Image source, Getty ImagesNow that's just showing off.
The Bengals recover a Miami fumble on the first possession of the second half before Joe Burrow finds Chase Brown on the outside on 1st & Goal.
The all-purpose running back then jinks inside a defender and makes a diving lunge between two men for a nine-yard touchdown.
Brown probably would have bundled into the end zone anyway, but that leap was good for the cameras.
Buffalo Bills 20-10 Cleveland Browns
Shedeur Sanders has his pass tipped and it's right into the hands of DaQuan Jones.
A near instant redzone for the Bills.
Minnesota Vikings 13-10 New York Giants
Image source, Getty ImagesBad news for Minnesota with quarterback JJ McCarthy ruled out of this second half with a hand injury.
The season's gone for the Vikings of course but it's a bit of a worry for Minnesota that McCarthy seems to struggle to stay fit for a consistent run of games, which he really needs in what's his first full season in th NFL.
Los Angeles Chargers 24-17 Dallas Cowboys
Curse of the live texter.
The Cowboys defend well and force the Chargers to settle for three.
Cameron Dicker knocks it through.
Los Angeles Chargers 21-17 Dallas Cowboys
Start as you mean to go on...
We're back under way in Dallas and the Chargers almost have an instant redzone.
Justin Herbert connects with Quentin Johnston on a huge deep shot down the field and Los Angeles are purring once more.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10-13 Carolina Panthers
Image source, Getty ImagesJust three points in it as a bruising NFC South battle reaches half-time. Carolina have the lead thanks to that very late touchdown drive from Bryce Young, but they look evenly matched all round.
It's fascinating that they'll meet again in two weeks, so it's not all on this game, but whoever wins it has a huge advantage.
Caleb Williams appears to have overcome his rookie season nerves and it's supported by an offence progressively getting better. Add to that a more solid defence and dare I say a coach with a plan, the Bears are looking good. The real test is next week. Beat the 49ers and I think we could go a long way post season.

FT: Green Bay Packers 16-22 Chicago Bears (OT)
ICYMI, the Chicago Bears fought back for a crucial win over divisional rivals Green Bay last night, which keeps them second in the play-off standings for the NFC.
In Ben Johnson's first year as head coach and quarterback Caleb Williams' second since being the first overall draft pick in 2024, the Bears are set to end their four-year post-season drought.
HT: New York Jets 6-9 New Orleans Saints
Image source, Getty ImagesIt has been the game we all predicted so far in New Orleans.
No touchdowns to write about but five out of six field goals made between the sides.
Charlie Smyth has three and Nick Folk has two.
In terms of excitement, things can only get better - maybe.
The Rams are still the team to beat, I'm a Seahawks fan and I believe our offence is way too inconsistent to go the distance in the play-offs (hope I'm wrong!). I think overall the Rams are the best team, the roster is strong and they have a tactical genius as head coach - they only lost to the Seahawks in Seattle by a point after a momentum-swinging punt return and very, very lucky 2 pointer.

HT: Buffalo Bills 20-10 Cleveland Browns
Image source, Getty ImagesBuffalo Bills running back James Cook has eclipsed 100-yards while also notching two touchdowns in the first half in Cleveland.
Cook is having his way with what is a very strong Browns defence and, for now, keeping his side at arms length as they look to clinch a play-off spot.
He's averaging 11.1 yards per carry at the break.
