Miami Dolphins 0-7 New England Patriots
Well that didn't take long!
Three plays for the Patriots and they have a touchdown.

We go again.....
Seven late games have kicked off with the AFC top seed and NFC seedings to play for, get ready for more drama!
Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots (21:25 GMT)
BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
The Jacksonville Jaguars have stayed in the hunt for the AFC's top seed and put pressure on the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos in the late window.
The Patriots host the Miami Dolphins and we have live radio commentary on that, plus updates on the other late games. Coverage has already begun and you can listen by clicking on 'listen live' above.
Detroit Lions @ Chicago Bears (21:25)
Image source, Getty ImagesCaleb Williams needs 109 yards to set a new Chicago Bears record for passing yards in a season, with Erik Kramer's 3,838 set in 1995 his target.
Williams has 3,730 yards so far after a season-high 330 yards last week, so another 270 yards tonight will see the Bears finally have a 4,000-yard passer on their books.
Amazingly the Bears are the only team in the NFL not have a quarterback hit that mark in their history.
Williams has already set a record in the NFL as he's had 23 games without an interception in his first two seasons in the league - beating Dak Prescott's previous best of 22.
Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots (21:25 GMT)
BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
The Jacksonville Jaguars have stayed in the hint for the AFC's top seed and put the pressure on the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos in the late window.
The Patriots host the Miami Dolphins and we have live radio commentary on that game, plus updates on all the late games. Coverage has already begun and you can listen by clicking on 'listen love' above.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe first, fourth and seventh seeds in the NFC are locked in after the Panthers claimed the NFC South.
Differing approaches by the other teams jostling for seedings, as the Eagles are resting Jalen Hurts and a host of starters with Nick Sirianni happy to concede the second seed and finish in third.
The Bears will go full strength as they aim to beat Detroit and finish second, which could mean an extra home game in the play-offs, but that does run the risk of injury - which way would you go? Let us know.
Sean McVay will start strong with his Rams as well as they could move up one from sixth to fifth, and would send them to Carolina instead of Philadelphia as things stand - which on paper at least is a much tougher prospect.
NFC current seedings
The New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos go into their games tonight knowing they must win to have a chance of clinching the number one seed in the AFC and with it a bye to the divisional round of the play-offs.
Denver currently occupies the top seed and will secure it with victory against the Los Angeles Chargers tonight.
The Pats host the Miami Dolphins knowing they must win and hope Denver slip up, while if they both lose then the Jaguars will sneak it!
Indianapolis Colts 30-38 Houston Texans
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Houston Texans are heading to the play-offs as the hottest team in the NFL as victory against the Colts was their ninth in the row.
They didn't manage to pinch the AFC South from Jacksonville, but not many teams will want to see Houston and their top-ranked defence coming to town in the wildcard round.
Awaiting this streaking Texans team will be either the Pittsburgh Steelers or Baltimore Ravens - whoever wins their AFC North title showdown later tonight.
All of the AFC should fear the Texans though...
Indianapolis Colts 30-38 Houston Texans
Big man touchdown!
Defensive tackle Tommy Togiai gets his touchdown as he picks up a fumble and rumbles back 17 yards into the end zone.
Togiai was meant to get a hand-off at the goal line earlier in the game but for a bit of a mix-up, but what a fitting way to end the game as he dives over for a touchdown to clinch the fifth seed for Houston.
All kick-off times 21:25 GMT
Image source, Getty ImagesComing up we've got a bumper seven late games tonight with plenty on the line - namely the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots going for top seed in the AFC.
A win for the Bears will clinch the second seed in the NFC, a defeat could let the Eagles in but they're playing their second stringers against Washington. The Rams are at full strength as they look to pinch the fifth seed from San Francisco.
In the AFC, the Chargers are resting players so aren't too bothered whether they finish sixth or seventh, with the Bills expected to start Josh Allen but he may not play too long in what is the final game at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium.
Week 18 late games
Indianapolis Colts 30-32 Houston Texans
The Houston back-ups surely get the job done now as Ka'imi Fairbairn slots a 43-yard field goal with just 12 seconds left on the clock.
You never know how the play-offs will work out but the Texans are heading for the fifth seed which means a wildcard road trip to either Baltimore or Pittsburgh depending on who wins tonight's huge final game of the regular season.
New Orleans Saints 17-19 Atlanta Falcons
It's all over in Atlanta, and their victory means the Carolina Panthers pip the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the NFC South title!
They were made to sweat after losing to the Bucs last night, but Bryce Young and his team will be in the play-offs.
The Las Vegas Raiders are on the clock....
Even ahead of their game against the Chiefs tonight, with the Giants beating the Cowboys it means the Raiders are guaranteed to have the first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Raiders have a strange history with the draft and have done some crazy things previously - let's see what they do with top spot this year!
New Orleans Saints 17-19 Atlanta Falcons
The onside kick doesn't reach 10 yards and it goes out of bounds.
The Saints have no time-outs remaining and there is only 1:10 left on the clock.
Panthers fans, you can relax.
Cleveland Browns 20-18 Cincinnati Bengals
Image source, Getty ImagesShedeur Sanders' NFL career began with the most dramatic slide in draft history but the fifth-round pick has ended up becoming Cleveland's starting quarterback and despite a rocky start, he's ended his rookie season by leading the Browns to back-to-back wins to finish with a 5-12 record.
The big story today, though, was Myles Garrett setting the new record for most sacks in a season. The Cleveland defensive end was already a future Hall of Famer but his 23rd sack of the season cements his legacy as one of the all-time greats.
New Orleans Saints 17-19 Atlanta Falcons
Oh hello!
Ronnie Bell makes an incredible one-handed catch at the back of the end zone for a Saints score. The extra point is good, so we have a two-point game!
Onside kick coming up.
Carolina Panthers fans squirm in their seats.
Indianapolis Colts 30-29 Houston Texans
Fair play to the Colts who have nothing to play for but are keeping the Texans honest as Indy take the lead again thanks to a Blake Grupe field goal from 22 yards out.
We'll see how much the Texans want this fifth seed now.
