(Eagles QB Carson Wentz in action against LA Rams before he tore his ACL meaning he is out for the remainder of the season, thanks to Sky Sports NFL for the photo)
New Orleans Saints 17 Atlanta Falcons 20
This all NFC South battle went the way of the Falcons and saw them improve to 8-5 and sit in the sixth spot in the playoff race, whilst the Saints remain divisonal leaders, just, on 9-4 and currently occupy the fourth seed spot in the NFC playoff race.
Sunday 10th December
Indianapolis Colts 7 Buffalo Bills 13
The Bills won a tight battle in the blizzard in Buffalo to reclaim sixth spot the the AFC playoff race and go 7-6, whilst the Colts, who are just playing for pride now, drop to 3-10.
Dallas Cowboys 30 New York Giants 10
The Cowboys thumped The Giants in New York in their all NFC East clash and means Dallas improve to 7-6 and keep their very slim hopes of a playoff berth alive. New York, who probably cant wait for the season to end, are now 2-11.
Detroit Lions 24 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21
The Lions were victorious in Tampa Bay to keep their slim play off hopes alive after improving to 7-6 and are two seeds off the coverted sixth spot in the NFC, whilst The Bucs, who have no chance of making the post season, are 4-9.
Oakland Raiders 15 Kansas City Chiefs 26
The Chiefs won a huge battle in their all AFC West battle against Oakland to remain in the driving seat for the divisional title, and hold that fourth seed spot in the AFC too. The Raiders are now behind both Kansas City and LA Chargers in the divisional now and are three spots off the sixth seed in the AFC, with a 6-7 record.
San Francisco 49ers 26 Houston Texans 16
Houston's play off hopes were pretty much ended after they became the Niners third scalp of the season. The Texans now drop to 4-9 whilst San Fran are now 3-10.
Green Bay Packers 27 Cleveland Browns 21
The Packers remain in the play off hunt, just, after a six point win over the winless 0-13 Browns in Cleveland, and with the news that Aaron Rodgers will start next week's game after a miracle recovery from his broken collarbone, they will fancy three wins in the remaining three weeks which would see them end with a 10-6 record, which could be enough for a play off spot. After that who knows?
Chicago Bears 33 Cincinnati Bengals 7
The Bears pretty much ended the Bengals play off hopes after trashing the Cincinnati franchise in their own backyard. It was Chicago's fourth win of the season, one behind the Bengals now who are 5-8.
Minnesota Vikings 24 Carolina Panthers 31
The Vikings will have to wait another week before clinching the NFC North after they fell to defeat in Carolina against the Panthers who are still in with a shout of clinching the NFC South. It did mean that Minnesota lost the number one seed in the NFC and dropped to number two, whilst Carolina occupy the fifth seed spot in the NFC.
Washington Redskins 13 Los Angeles Chargers 30
The Chargers are well, Charging right now, after they smashed The Redskins in LA to keep up their play off hopes in the AFC, as well as stay in with a great chance of clinching the AFC West too. The Redskins faint playoff hopes are well and truly gone now although on this performance they kind of felt this was already the case.
New York Jets 0 Denver Broncos 23
The Broncos netted a rare win as they shut out the Jets in Denver to go 4-9, whilst the New York franchise are 5-8, although both have no chance of reaching the post season now in any case.
Tennessee Titans 7 Arizona Cardinals 12
The Titans hopes of clinching the AFC South took a blow as they fell a game behind current leaders Jacksonville after they lost a tight defensive battle in Arizona against the Cardinals. Tennessee do still occupy the fifth seed spot in the AFC playoffs but despite the Cardinals winning, their NFC playoff hopes seem unlikely.
Philadelphia Eagles 43 Los Angeles Rams 35
The Eagles clinched the NFC East, comfirmed their post season participation and also reclaimed the number one seed after winning a shoot out against the Rams in LA. However they were dealt a massive blow when QB Carson Wentz, who has been instrumental in Philadelphia's success this campaign and was a possible MVP candidate, suffered a season ending ACL tear. Who knows what impact it will have on one of the best teams in football this season. As for LA Rams, they remain in the driving seat to clinch the NFC West despite this loss, and occupy the third seed spot in the NFC.
Seattle Seahawks 24 Jacksonville Jaguars 30
The Jags are in the driving seat to clinch the AFC South after downing Seattle in Florida, meaning the currently occupy the third seed spot in the AFC. The Seahawks meanwhile remain a game behind LA Rams in the race for the NFC West, and are just outside the wild card places in the NFC with it all to play for still.
Baltimore Ravens 38 Pittsburgh Steelers 39
Pittsburgh remain number one seed in the AFC after they won an AFC North thriller against Baltimore and in doing so clinched the AFC North and confirmed their post season participation too. The Ravens remain right in the hunt for the playoffs though along with possibly half a dozen other franchises, so proves to be an exciting three weeks to come!!
Monday 11th December
New England Patriots 20 Miami Dolphins 27
Tom Brady had an off day as the Pats suffered a suprise defeat in Miami against the Dolphins although they still remain in the seconds seed spot in the AFC and will clinch the AFC East with one more win, so it's not all doom and gloom at Foxboro. The Dolphins win also kept them in the hunt for a wild card spot in the AFC playoffs too along with a clutch of others.
