Following two consecutive losses, the Kansas City Chiefs recovered but continued to struggle with receiver errors. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins recorded a 30-0 shutout against the New York Jets, prolonging the Jets’ absence from the playoffs to a 13th year.
The Chiefs are still behind the Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens, who defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars. This victory keeps the Ravens at the top of the AFC, setting the stage for a pivotal Christmas Eve clash with Miami that could determine the first-round play-off bye.

Bills Assert Dominance Over Cowboys
The Bills, after notable performances against the Eagles and the Chiefs, showcased their strength with a decisive 31-10 win over the Cowboys. This victory highlighted Buffalo’s newfound physical dominance, especially in defense, limiting the Cowboys to a season-low 195 yards. James Cook was a standout performer, amassing 179 yards and scoring twice.
Josh Allen, the Bills’ quarterback, managed 94 yards from 15 passes but still made significant plays. With this win, the Bills’ record stands at 8-6, positioning them just outside the play-offs but as a team to be wary of in the post-season.
Raheem Mostert’s Stellar Performance for the Dolphins
Dolphins Conclude Jets’ Season Hopes
The Jets’ signing of Aaron Rodgers, following his recovery from Achilles surgery, was a beacon of hope, but their heavy defeat in Miami extends their play-off drought to 13 years. For Miami, with a 10-4 record, winning their last three games could secure the top AFC seed, despite challenging upcoming matches against the Cowboys, Ravens, and Bills.
49ers Clinch NFC West Crown
Miami’s Raheem Mostert reached a milestone of 20 season touchdowns, a feat matched by Christian McCaffrey with his hat-trick in San Francisco’s 45-29 triumph over the Arizona Cardinals. Quarterback Brock Purdy’s impressive performance, including four touchdowns and 242 passing yards, led the 49ers to their sixth consecutive win and a second NFC West title.
The 49ers, with an 11-3 record, are formidable contenders, led by MVP candidates Purdy and McCaffrey.
Potential End of an Era for Bill Belichick with the Patriots
Chiefs Bounce Back, But Concerns Remain
The Chiefs, reigning Super Bowl champions, overcame their recent setbacks with a 27-17 win against the New England Patriots. Despite the victory, dropped passes remain a concern for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs, now at 9-5, still have a chance for the top seed and a fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years.
The Patriots, once a dominant force, seem to be nearing the end of the Bill Belichick era, with a disappointing 3-11 record.
The Carolina Panthers secured only their second win of the season against the Atlanta Falcons in a rain-soaked game attended by few fans.
Browns’ Resilience Pays Off
Despite injuries and quarterback changes, the Cleveland Browns, led by veteran Joe Flacco, managed a 20-17
