The penultimate round of matches saw some sides book their spot in the post-season and others see their hopes dashed. The Lions fell into the latter camp as their loss against Minnesota effectively ended their season. The Broncos bounced back with a win, while the Houston Texans won 20-16 against the Chargers to assure themselves a playoff berth.
The Ravens’ dreams lived on thanks to a 41-24 verdict over the Packers, with the Jaguars beating the Colts to edge closer to AFC South glory. The AFC East was wrapped up by the Pats, who beat the Jets 42-10, while the Seahawks kept their hopes of top seeding alive by beating the Panthers. There were important wins for the Eagles (13-12 over the Bills) and the 49ers (42-38 against the Bears) but the LA Rams lost to stay on 11 victories for the season.
