Thursday 23rd November (Thanksgiving Day)
Minnesota Vikings 30 Detroit Lions 23
Vikings remain the second seeded team in the NFC playoff picture after downing Detroit to go 9-2 whilst defeat for the Lions leaves them on 6-5 although still in the huny for a NFC playoff position.
Los Angeles Chargers 28 Dallas Cowboys 6
The Chargers are right in the mix for the AFC playoffs after improving to 5-6 following a crushing win in Dallas, which left the Cowboys NFC playoff hopes in the balance after they fell to 5-6.
New York Giants 10 Washington Redskins 20
The Redskins kept their playoff hopes alive just after going to 5-6 by seeing off the New York Giants in the capital, which leaves the north east coast franchise now on 2-9 and are now officially out of the playoff picture, although we kind of knew that already.
Sunday 26th November
Buffalo Bills 16 Kansas City Chiefs 10
The Bills are right in the hunt for an AFC playoff place after downing a fast sliding Chiefs team who themselves have now lost five of their last six games and are now 6-5 after starting the season 5-0. They do remain the fourth seed in the AFC playoffs right now although they will need to stop this slide to maintain that position.
Tennessee Titans 20 Indianapolis Colts 16
The Titans edged out the Colts to remain the third seed in the AFC playoffs whilst the Colts drop to 3-8 and although not officially out of the AFC playoff hunt, they are as good as.
Cleveland Browns 16 Cincinnati Bengals 30
The Browns are now officially out of the playoff picture after dropping to 0-11 on the season with defeat on Cincinnati. The Bengals however are right in the hunt for an AFC playoff place at 5-6 after this win.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 Atlanta Falcons 34
The Falcons beat the Bucs to maintain their sixth seed status in the NFC playoff race, whilst Tampa are now 4-7 and pretty much out of the NFC playoff picture.
Miami 17 New England Patriots 35
The Pats are still the number two seed in the AFC playoff picture after defeating the Dolphins in Foxboro, a defeat that leaves the Miami side struggling to make the AFC playoff picture.
Chicago Bears 3 Philadelphia Eagles 31
The Eagles are still the best team in football at 10-1 after they thrashed Chicago in Philly. The Eagles are unsurprisingly the number one seeds right now in the NFC whilst The Bears at 3-8 are most likely out of the NFC playoff picture.
Carolina Panthers 35 New York Jets 27
The Panthers are now the fifth seed in the NFC after they defeated The Jets in New York, and in doing so harmed the hosts play off hopes in the AFC after they dropped to 4-7.
Seattle Seahawks 24 San Francisco 49ers 13
The Niners are now officially out of the play off hunt after they lost to Seattle in San Francisco although this was pretty much confirmed a while ago, however it's a different story for the Seahawks who are right in the play off hunt in the NFC at 7-4 and battling the Falcons for that sixth seed spot.
New Orleans Saints 20 Los Angeles Rams 26
The Rams ended The Saints winning run to become the NFC's third seed in the play off picture as their opponents are now seeded fourth in the NFC's race to the post season showdown. Both teams are on 8-3 for the season.
Jacksonville Jaguars 24 Arizona Cardinals 27
Arizona scored a late late field goal to take the spoils in this one and give themselves an outside chance of still making the NFC play off picture. Defeat for the Jags saw them drop from third to fifth seed in the AFC as they went to 7-4 on the season.
Denver Broncos 14 Oakland Raiders 21
Oakland got themselves into the playoff hunt in the AFC after beating a fast sinking Broncos outfit in Calafornia. Raiders join three other sides on 5-6 in the playoff hunt whilst Denver are pretty much out of the AFC playoff race at 3-8.
Green Bay Packers 28 Pittsburgh Steelers 31
Sunday night football saw a cracker between The Packers and The Steelers in Pittsburgh and it took a field goal as time expired from the hosts to finally settle this one, meaning Pittsburgh remain the number one seed in the AFC whilst the Packers it's now a 5-6 record in the NFC and along with The Cowboys, Redskins and Cardinals are relying on others to slip if they are to make the NFC post season.
Monday 27th November
Houston Texans 16 Baltimore Ravens 23
Baltimore netted a win over Houston on Monday Night Football to become the AFC's sixth seed at the expense of Buffalo who had sneaked back into that spot on Sunday, however for the Texans its now a 4-7 record and a struggle to reach the playoffs it seems.
