The Vikings spoiled Dallas’ playoff hopes with a 34-26 win, as J.J. McCarthy delivered his best performance of the season and Minnesota’s defense dictated terms against a Cowboys offense that struggled on third down and in the red zone.

The Lions' 24-14 first-half lead didn't last long. Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams got going and didn't look back to secure their 11th win.

Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes and San Francisco scored on its first five possessions to cruise past the Titans 37-24, snapping Tennessee’s brief momentum and tightening the 49ers’ grip on playoff positioning.

The Broncos prevailed in a battle between top-two seeds in each conference, knocking off the Packers 34-26.

Green Bay's injuries to Micah Parsons and Christian Watson were too much to overcome.

The Saints continue to play hard under Kellen Moore, this time by beating the Panthers 20-17 on a last-second field goal by Charlie Smythe.

In a back-and-forth affair, the Seahawks foiled Philip Rivers' return with an 18-16 victory. Blake Grupe nailed a 60-yard field goal to give the Colts a late lead, but Jason Myers' sixth kick — from 56 yards — provided Seattle an advantage it wouldn't relinquish. A Coby Bryant interception was the nail in the coffin for Indianapolis, granting Seattle its 11th win.

The Commanders snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 29-21 win over the Giants, fueled by a Jaylin Lane punt-return touchdown, a rushing score from Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and a 51-yard TD strike from Marcus Mariota to Terry McLaurin.
