The Final Week

As we hit the final week of the regular season, several teams have clinched playoff spots, division titles, and some have a first round bye sealed up. As we head to this week, home field advantage hasn't been clinched in neither conference as of this week. With all that being said, here is how Sunday's action went down.
 
Panthers 22 Buccaneers 19
QB Cam Newton threw for 160 yards and a rushing touchdown and Graham Gano kicked three field goals as the Panthers clinched a playoff spot with a victory over Tampa Bay. Buccaneers QB Jamesis Winston threw for 367 yards and a touchdown in the loss.

Bears 20 Browns 3
Bears RB Jordan Howard had two rushing touchdowns and Mitch Trubisky also added a rushing touchdown as Chicago kept the Browns winless with a home victory. Browns QB DeShone Kizer threw for 182 yards in the loss.

Bengals 26 Lions 17
Andy Dalton threw for 238 yards and a touchdown and Giovanni Bernard rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals eliminated the Lions from playoff contention with a victory. Lions QB Matthew Stafford threw for 203 yards and a touchdown.

Chiefs 29 Dolphins 13
Chiefs QB Alex Smith threw for 304 yards and a touchdown and Kareem Hunt rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown as the Chiefs clinched the AFC West Division title with a win over the Dolphins. Dolphins QB Jay Cutler threw for 286 yards and a touchdown.

Patriots 37 Bills 16
Tom Brady threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns and RB Dion Lewis rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown as the Patriots got one step closer to home field advantage with a home victory over Buffalo. Bills DB Jordan Poyer returned an interception for a touchdown for the team's only score.

Saints 23 Falcons 13
Drew Brees threw for 239 yards and a touchdown and Mark Ingram added a rushing touchdown as the Saints took down the Falcons to clinch a playoff spot. Falcons QB Matt Ryan threw for 288 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Falcons have a chance to clinch a playoff spot if they knock off the Panthers or a Seahawks loss.

Chargers 14 Jets 7
Philip Rivers threw for 290 yards and a touchdown and Melvin Gordon rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown as the Chargers took the road victory over the New York Jets. Jets RB Bilal Powell rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Chargers are still alive for a playoff spot but would need some help to clinch a playoff spot.

Rams 27 Titans 23
QB Jared Goff threw for 301 yards and four touchdowns and Todd Gurley rushed for 118 yards and had 10 catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns as the LA Rams clinched the NFC West title as they knocked off the Titans. Titans RB DeMarco Murray had the team's lone touchdown of the game. With the Titans loss, the Jaguars clinched the AFC South division title. The Titans are in next week if they beat the Jaguars next week.

Redskins 27 Broncos 11
Redskins QB Kirk Cousins threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns to three different receivers as Washington took the home victory over the Denver Broncos. Broncos RB CJ Anderson rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown in the loss.

49ers 44 Jaguars 33
49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 242 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for another as the 49ers took their fourth straight victory as they knocked off the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jaguars QB Blake Bortles threw for 382 yards and two touchdowns. Despite the loss, the Jaguars clinched the AFC South division title but cannot go no higher than the three seed in the postseason.

Cardinals 23 Giants 0
Drew Stanton threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns and the Arizona defense forced three turnovers as the Cardinals shutout the Giants. Giants cornerback Ross Cockrell had two interceptions on the day in the loss on the road.

Seahawks 21 Cowboys 12
Seahawks QB Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and DB Justin Coleman returned an interception for a touchdown as the Seattle kept their playoff hopes alive and eliminated the Dallas Cowboys from making the playoffs. Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey kicked four field goals in the loss.
