CAR 02:00 Two-Minute Warning
Texans beat Colts 22-17. The ViewFromVegas is they did it as 6.5-point road underdogs and +240 on the money line in taking over first place in the AFC South (or at least tied with the Titans, who beat the Broncos 13-10 as 1.5-point home faves). The defending champion Broncos are now in a dogfight just to get a wild-card berth with three games to play.
Rex Ryan on CBS report he could be fired as soon as Monday: "I got no comment. I don't know anything about that."
The Washington Redskins hung on to beat Philadelphia, 27-22, for a needed road win and snapping a two-game losing streak. The Redskins improved to 7-5-1 and remain firmly alive in the playoff race with Tampa Bay, directly in front of them, playing a late afternoon game. Running back Chris Thompson scored on a 25-yard run in the fourth quarter for the decisive points and then linebacker Ryan Kerrigan had a sack/fumble of quarterback Carson Wentz to end the game. Kerrigan used to force fumbles with regularity, but that was only his second one of the season – it came at the right time.

Falcons score 10 seconds into game as Matt Ryan finds Justin Hardy for TD after Rama fumble kickoff, recovered by Paul Worrilow 7-0 Falcons. No Julio Jones, no problem so far.
The Panthers finally show some killer instinct in a season gone awry, They had five sacks and five takeaways in a 28-16 victory over San Diego. They were the kind of plays they made last year, that they failed to make much of this season. The plays won't get them into the playoffs but it is a start for next season.

The Steelers have clinched their 13th straight non-losing season, the 2nd-longest active streak in the NFL (Patriots: 16 straight).
The Dolphins just won in spite of themselves. I have no idea what they were doing snapping the ball with 15 seconds and the clock running in a tie game while in easy field goal range. They were fortunate – oh, so fortunate – to get out of that with one second remaining and a game-winning field goal.
Arizona's loss means the Seahawks can clinch the NFC West with a win today in Green Bay.
LA 10:23 J.Goff incomplete. Intended for K.Britt, INTERCEPTED by R.Allen at ATL 7.
