The final NFL Sunday of the year is just about in the books. In the 1 p.m. hour, the Tennessee Titans clinched the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft with a loss to the Houston Texans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched the NFC South and kicked the Atlanta Falcons out of the playoff picture, while the Washington Commanders clinched the No. 6 seed in the NFC, with the Green Bay Packers behind them at No. 7.
Up next, the Denver Broncos will look to secure a playoff spot against the Patrick Mahomes-less Kansas City Chiefs, and we get that epic NFC North showdown tonight: The 14-2 Detroit Lions host the 14-2 Minnesota Vikings. Winner takes the NFC North title, the No. 1 seed in the conference and a first-round bye. Loser falls all the way down to the No. 5 seed, and will play on the road during Super Wild Card Weekend. The stakes couldn't be much higher.
Below, you can find all of Sunday's top plays in our one-stop shop for everything that happens in the NFL in Week 16. Scores, highlights, analysis, injuries, cool stats, you name it -- we cover it all from first kickoff to the final whistle of the late games.

Miami had a chance coming into the day to make it into the playoffs, but that went out the window with Denver's blowout win over Kansas City. The Jets technically ended the year on a high note, though their fans that were hoping for a higher draft pick might not feel that way.
Kyler Murray had a four-touchdown game himself as Arizona improved to 8-9 on the year. San Francisco's disappointing season ended with a 6-11 record. There could be a lot of changes coming for the 49ers this offseason, considering their financial situation.
It's a four-touchdown game for Aaron Rodgers in what is likely his last game with the Jets. He hit Tyler Conklin for No. 500, Allen Lazard for No. 501, Davante Adams for No. 502 and now Breece Hall for No. 503. It's his first four-touchdown game in three years.
This is Marvin Harrison Jr.'s eighth receiving touchdown of the season. Marvin Harrison Sr. also had eight receiving touchdowns during his rookie season.
Seattle got Geno Smith his $6 million worth of bonuses with this win and his passing yardage and completion percentage numbers. The Rams dropped down to the No. 4 seed with this loss and will play the loser of tonight's NFC North Championship Game in the first round of the playoffs.
In the first season of the Jim Harbaugh era, L.A. will be the No. 5 seed. The Chargers will travel to Houston to take on the Texans in the first round.
The Broncos are in the playoffs for the first time since Super Bowl 50. Bo Nix and Co. demolished the Chiefs' backups today. Denver will play against the Bills in the first round.
Sheesh. What a throw and catch from Geno Smith and Noah Fant to give the Seahawks the lead late in the game against the Rams.
The Dolphins are looking to make things interesting against the Jets. They've been trailing all day but this De'Von Achane touchdown run made it a one-possession game.
For a guy who is perhaps unfortunately best known for dropping passes, this is one heck of a catch up the sideline by Quentin Johnston.
It's the second career touchdown for the Cardinals running back.
Justin Herbert has been using his legs far more often this year than in years past. Here's another instance, this time with a 42-yard scamper to put the Chargers in scoring position.
Davante Adams dragged both feet to reel in this sideline bullet from Aaron Rodgers.
Brock Bowers came into this week with the all-time rookie receptions record. Malik Nabers took it from him earlier today. And now Bowers owns it once again.
The rout is on in Denver. Marvin Mims gets in the end zone for the second time today, this time on a swing pass. Denver is on its way to the playoffs.
This Niners-Cardinals game has gotten fun over the last few possessions after a slow start. Three consecutive touchdown drives near the end of the half, and then Arizona tacked on a field goal to take a 20-17 lead into the break.
The Chargers finally took the lead in their sleepy game against the Raiders, with Justin Herbert finding D.J. Chark in the front of the end zone for a touchdown and then freelancing before connecting with Ladd McConkey in the back of the end zone for the two-point conversion.
Rodgers -> Lazard = end zone
After finally getting into the end zone last week, McBride has now made a return trip. And earlier in the drive, he jumped over a defender. (Or attempted to, at least.) This latest touchdown gave the Cardinals another lead after the Niners had put together a long drive to tie things up.
Aaron Rodgers has thrown the 500th touchdown pass of his illustrious NFL career! In a bit of a surprise, it's tight end Tyler Conklin on the receiving end. They made sure to keep the ball and give it directly to Rodgers, who tucked it high and tight bringing it over to the sideline before handing it to an equipment manager.
What an absolutely bonkers touchdown catch by Devaughn Vele out in Denver. This bad boy gets tipped into the air multiple times, and Vele just snatches it out of the air right before it touches the ground. What a catch. And Denver is absolutely rolling, looking to clinch a playoff spot.
Really nice catch-and-run from Arizona's diminutive slot receiver right here, and it ends with a trip across the goal line.
The Seahawks have opened up two-score lead on the Rams thanks to this strike from Geno Smith to DK Metcalf. Geno's got two TD tosses already, while Metcalf has 3 catches for 53 yards and a touchdown.
The Cardinals hit the Niners with a fake punt earlier in what has been a very slow game so far. This was DeeJay Dallas taking a designed counter on the direct snap for a big gain.
With the Chiefs playing a lineup almost entirely made of backups, the Broncos have an early two-score lead and they're driving to add even more points to their ledger. Bo Nix has started 10 of 10 for 139 yards and these two touchdown passes.
On the back of a massive game from Bryce Young (25 of 34 for 251 yards and 3 touchdowns, plus 24 rushing yards and 2 more scores on the ground), Carolina won a wild game against the division rival Falcons. Miles Sanders got the game-winning score, but Young was the story. His growth over the second half of the season has to have the Panthers feeling great going into next year.
There are still six games to be played in the 2024 regular season, but the top-five picks of the 2025 NFL Draft order are set.
Check out the entire 2025 NFL Draft order here.
The Buccaneers clinched the NFC South AND Mike Evans crossed 1,000 yards receiving yet again thanks to this last-minute catch. He's the only player to reach 1,000 receiving yards in his first 11 seasons
While Washington will likely take on the Rams in Los Angeles, the Packers are going to Philly. The Bears beat the Packers for the first time since 2018 on this game-winning field goal!
The Commanders clinch the No. 6 seed! Scary Terry with just seconds remaining from Marcus Mariota! Washington wins!
