They took a while to warm up in a chilly Cincinnati but Lamar Jackson is now firing.
The two-time MVP finds Zay Flowers for 26 yards then fires a 14-yard dart to tight end Mark Andrew and follows that up by lofting a 28-yard pass to the end zone, which is perfect for Flowers to make it touchdowns on back-to-back drives for Baltimore.

A win for the Patriots clinches the division title today and at present, they are cruising their way to it.

Las Vegas Raiders 0-17 Philadelphia Eagles
After three successive three-and-outs following the Eagles' field goal early in the second quarter, Philly stretch their lead with a Saquon Barkley touchdown from two yards.

Promising signs for the Browns and their long-term future.
Baltimore Ravens 7-0 Cincinnati Bengals
Image source, ReutersDespite claiming an interception on the previous possession, the Bengals go three-and-out and then the Ravens break the deadlock.

That's a first NFL score for the fifth-round draft pick from 2024.

Cleveland Browns 0-14 Chicago Bears
Cairo Santos misses the chance to put the Bears 17 points clear before half-time as he steers wide from 35 yards.

That is Garrett's 21st of the season, putting him two behind the NFL's all-time record for a single season.

Los Angeles Chargers 3-7 Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs went three-and-out on their second drive before forcing the Chargers to punt at the start of the second quarter.
Patrick Mahomes then goes long to Tyquan Thornton but it bobbles out as the pass is broken up and a sack on Mahomes forces Kansas City to go three-and-out again.
Arizona Cardinals 7-17 Houston Texans
Arizona get on the board thanks to prolific tight end Trey McBride catching a two-yard touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett.
To say that was all McBride is an understatement - as he had five catches for 51 yards and a touchdown all on that one possession! Imagine if he played for a good team....
Baltimore Ravens 0-0 Cincinnati Bengals
After three punts overall during the first quarter in Cincinnati, the Ravens grab the ball back as they intercept a Joe Burrow pass down the middle.
