Brady gallops but Pats fall short
Tom Brady and the Patriots had a shot to pull even late in the fourth quarter against the Chiefs and Brady was able to keep the dream alive with a huge scramble on fourth down...

...but the Pats couldn't put the ball in the end zone and the Chiefs managed to hang on for the big win to clinch the AFC West.
Mike Williams gets in the TD column
It took until Week 14 but Mike Williams finally has his first touchdown catch of the year, and it was a pretty spectacular one. Williams laid out for six on this bomb from Philip Rivers.
Mike Williams' first TD catch of the year is a beauty! @darealmike_dub

Ekeler leaves 'em in the dust
The Jaguars continue to fall apart and Austin Ekeler is taking full advantage. The Chargers running back ripped off an 84-yard touchdown on a screen pass and he went untouched the entire way.

Kelce punches it in
After the Patriots opened up the scoring, the Chiefs put 17 unanswered points on the board in Foxboro. Travis Kelce followed up a Patrick Mahomes touchdown pass by punching it into the end zone off a direct snap on third down.

Mahomes makes it happen
Patrick Mahomes was half a second from being swallowed in the pocket but he managed to find an open receiver off his back foot to give the Chiefs a lead. Mecole Hardman's speed sure didn't hurt either.

The flea gets flicked
The Patriots have to find a way to get their passing game going after a dud of a performance against the Texans last week, and they got off to a pretty good start on Sunday against the Chiefs. New England effectively got K.C. to bite on the flea flicker and found an open Julian Edelman for six.

A classic in New Orleans
The 49ers-Saints showdown lived up to the hype and it took every second to find a winner. After Drew Brees led the Saints down the field and got a go-ahead touchdown to Tre'Quan Smith...

Ficken for the win
The Jets narrowly managed to escape losing to the Dolphins thanks to a clutch last-second field goal against Miami. It's not pretty but it counts as a W all the same.

The Jameis Experience
After some costly mistakes early, Jameis Winston has led the Bucs back against the Colts. Winston has four touchdowns, including this absolutely perfect go-ahead TD pass.
What a throw by @Jaboowins!

Watson puts his body on the line
Deshaun Watson isn't giving up or clocking out early on Sunday. The Houston QB put his body on the line with this touchdown run. It's probably not something the Texans are going to want to see very often, but they'll take the scores any way they can get them as they attempt to come back from a big deficit against Denver.

Welcome to the show
Olamide Zaccheaus made the very first catch of his NFL career on Sunday in Atlanta, and it went for a 93-yard touchdown. Not a bad way to announce your arrival, I guess.

D-Hop gives Houston some life
The Texans are getting SMOKED by the Broncos but Deshaun Watson finally got the ball in the end zone on this 43-yard hookup with DeAndre Hopkins. They've still got a ways to go to climb out of their second half hole but it's a start.

Locked in
In maybe the biggest surprise of the day, Drew Lock is carving up the Houston Texans. The Broncos' rookie quarterback has three touchdown passes in the first half, including this dart to the end zone to find fellow rookie Noah Fant.

Sanders slings it
Emmanuel Sanders already has a big receiving touchdown on the day but he also managed to get on the board with a passing TD as well. The 49ers pulled out some trickery against the Saints and let Sanders throw the ball to a wide open Raheem Mostert for the touchdown.
The @49ers get a little tricky…

Saints and Niners trading strikes
This probably won't come as much of a surprise the Saints-49ers game at the Superdome has been quite good in the first half and we've got ourselves a good old fashioned shootout in the making. Drew Brees and the Saints are doing some damage on offense and Jared Cook has been a big target. The tight end has two touchdowns already in the first half.
Make that ✌️ touchdowns for @JaredCook89! @drewbrees #Saints #SFvsNO

Scoop and score, with a twist
The Broncos defense forced a big fumble and Jeremiah Attaochu was there to scoop it up, but he couldn't manage to escape the grasp of a Texans player. Fortunately, his generosity and willingness to hand the ball off to a teammate paid big dividends as Kareem Jackson took it all the way to the house.
He handed it to Kareem Jackson to return the fumble for SIX! @ReemBoi25 #BroncosCountry

Brissett launching bombs
The Colts are on the board early after a turnover and the score came courtesy of a Jacoby Brissett bomb to Marcus Johnson to the tune of 46 yards. That's a pretty great way to start the day if you're Indy.
The @Colts capitalize off the interception. @JBrissett12 steps in the pocket and launches one to Marcus Johnson for a 46-yard score! #Colts #INDvsTB
