Shock upon shock upon shock upon shock. The Jags are making absolute mincemeat of arguably the best passing defense in the NFL. Parker Washington turns a short pass up field into a monster 63-yard gain before Travis Etienne catches another short pass and romps home for the score.

Denver just keep overplaying. They blitz and Lawrence beats it for a chunk play then in the red zone are called on for pass interference. A yard to go. Lawrence skips in and Denver fans are very loudly booing. They are not used to seeing an opponent score so easily and are pissed off about a slightly soft PI call. Ah and the broadcast ruins the moment by playing Limp Bizkit.

Lots of close games. Broncos are back out on offense for the second half while the Steelers have 11 seconds … and SCORE! Incredible play. They go for the long bomb and Kenneth Gainwell makes a miracle catch as he hits the deck, the ball just hits his arm an inch off the ground, bounces up and he brings it in. He then pops up and scampers in for the 45-yard score as no defender was on hand to touch him.

The current AFC No 1 seeded Denver Broncos face another Super Bowl hopeful in the Jacksonville Jaguars. Denver already have their seat at the postseason table but Jacksonville can still grab the No 1 seed from them if they can steal a win today. But before we get carried away the Jags can firstly make sure of a playoff spot with an upset of the Broncos and either a Texans loss to the Raiders (very unlikely) or a Colts loss (or tie) to the 49ers on Monday.

Unbelievable, Bryce! He scrambles around in the pocket and is so close to being sacked but just ducks and dives through defenders then gets the pass off to Ja’Tavion Sanders. Carolina retake the lead. It’s heating up.

In a gigantic turn up for the books all of our games are actually in for half-time at the same time. The Panthers are the big story so far as they took control at the whistle. Tampa Bay started strong but have fallen off a cliff. Pressure is on Carolina to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. They are handling it so far.

Who needs a field goal? Dave Canales beats the blitz by calling the deep pass and TMac finishes it off with an easy catch from the gorgeous arcing pass into the end zone. That is the Carolina that beat the Rams a few weeks ago. Aggressive and perfectly executed.

Bucky Irving smashes through the Panthers defensive line and almost scores but for a touchdown saving tackle. On the next play, who else? Baker Mayfield hits his old friend Mike Evans. The giant receiver is one-on-one and we know what that means. The ball is going his way and he hangs on for the score.

Well they were off to a slow start. The running back quickens matters with a mazy run through to the left then back across the field to avoid two free defenders. They just can’t quite bring him down and Cook levels it up.

There is high drama occurring in the ever-iffy NFC South. Carolina and Tampa Bay are locked at the division’s summit with seven wins and seven losses each. Only the odds of making the postseason are far from even between these rivals.

The Bucs hold the tie-breaker at present with a better record against common opponents (5-5 v Carolina’s 4-6) so a win against the Panthers would further improve their standing while pushing their chances of clinching the title to 95% (per NFL.com). Thus Carolina only have a 5% shot if they lose today. That slim shot requires the Bucs to lose their next game to the eliminated Dolphins and lose to the Panthers at home when they play again in week 18 while Carolina would have to beat mighty Seattle next week as well.

I don’t think there is anything I can add to that absolutely crackers ending. Pittsburgh survive by the skin of their teeth. Mike Tomlin confirms a 19th season without a losing record. Ironman. Goodnight.
PITTSBURGH WIN!
OK so Goff scores the touchdown from the fumble but another offensive pass interference call chalks off another game-wining touchdown. They had two scores both ruled out. That is about as brutal as it gets for a way to be all but eliminated from the playoffs. The Lions are in complete disbelief. Pittsburgh meanwhile have strengthened their grip on the AFC North.
Lions 24-29 Steelers
Lions 24-29 Steelers 0:08, 4th quarter
Incomplete. Two plays left and 11 seconds. He rushes the play but knows he can’t be tackled or its game over. Stress. TeSlaa almost catches one for the win but can’t hold on. One final play. This is it. It all goes crazy after a hit on the goal line. Does Goff have a touchdown after retrieving a fumble?! What are the flags for? What is happening?!
Lions 24-29 Steelers 0:16, 4th quarter
This is getting ridiculous. The Lions have the game-winning score chalfked off for offensive pass interference then they flinch on the line and cough up another five yards. A touchdown is turned into needing 16 yards. Gibbs grabs seven back. Nine remain for the win. I can’t watch.
Lions 24-29 Steelers 0:48, 4th quarter
Amon-Ra you beauty. He picks up 24 yards with a bruising run between defenders. 12 yards to go now for the win.
Lions 24-39 Steelers 1:19, 4th quarter
And the Steelers cough up another penalty on the very next play. Alex Highsmith accidentally trips Jared Goff. Another 15 yards in Detroit’s pocket. They have about 38 to travel.
Lions 24-29 Steelers 1:24, 4th quarter
Detroit survive a review of the catch and they need two yards now to move the chains. Can they? No. Yes?!!! WHAT? The pass is incomplete but Kyle Dugger is pinged for pass interference. Unbelievable. The Lions breathe a HUGE sigh of relief.
Lions 24-29 Steelers 1:38, 4th quarter
Two minutes to save the season. We are already at 3rd down. Poor from Detroit. 13 yards to move the chains. Goff drops back and finds 12 of them. 4th down.
It’s NO GOOD! Lions 24-29 Steelers 1:58, 4th quarter
Wow. Chris Boswell hits the post. The 37-yard kick is no good. The Lions can win it with a touchdown now. This is going down to the wire. Here we go!
Lions 24-29 Steelers 2:14, 4th quarter
Pittsburgh are 1st and 10 with about 35 yards to travel. Ouch the Lions are penalised for a hold on defense. In the red zone now on 3rd and 8.
Final scores
(3-12) Arizona Cardinals 19-26 Atlanta Falcons (6-9)
(12-3) Denver Broncos 20-34 Jacksonville Jaguars (11-4)
(10-5) Houston Texans 23-21 Las Vegas Raiders (2-13)
So Houston keep on track for the postseason while Denver slip in the race for the No 1 seed and Jacksonville open up a possibility for the No 1 seed. The Jags haven’t yet punched their ticket for the playoffs but they are all but in.
TOUCHDOWN! Lions 29-24 Steelers 4:11, 4th quarter
J Goff to J Gibbs for four yards
Game well and truly on in Detroit.
Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 0:41, 4th quarter
Strange they even threw the ball on that play on 3rd down. Why bother? Bryant has had his neck stabilised and is on the cart. All the Denver players are wishing him well. Hopefully he isn’t too badly hurt.
Lions 17-29 Steelers 4:19, 4th quarter
Detroit on goal to go after big chunk catches from Jahmyr Gibbs. Then Goff is almost picked on 1st and Goal. Calm down, Jared.
Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 0:41, 4th quarter
Pat Bryant is down after a monster hit into his ribs. There is being winded and there is being smashed in the gut from a leaping catch into a dead stop. That must have been so incredibly painful. He is still being tended to on the ground. Sad with the game over.
TOUCHDOWN! Lions 17-29 Steelers 6:41, 4th quarter
J Warren rush for 45 yards
Does anyone have deja vu? Warren runs another in for 45 yards. He is demolishing the Lions single-handedly. The running back has 143 yards on 14 carries with a pair of scores.
Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 2:00, 4th quarter
Denver turn it over on downs. Their last four possessions read fumble, field goal, interception, turnover on downs. This one is all but over leaving the Jags with a chance of the No 1 seed. The Jaguars find a 1st down at the two-minute warning. Almost over.
TOUCHDOWN! Lions 17-22 Steelers 8:39, 4th quarter
J Goff to K Raymond for 27 yards
Just what the doctor ordered for Detroit with their playoff hopes dangling by a thread. Pittsburgh can’t get tight now.
TOUCHDOWN! Texans 23-21 Raiders 5:24, 4th quarter
A Jeanty rush for 51 yards
Hopefully you started the rookie in your fantasy semi-final. Jeanty is having a breakout game here with two touchdowns, 128 rushing yards and 60 receiving yards.
Lions 10-22 Steelers 9:24, 4th quarter
Detroit are finally finding some offense after only recording 30 yards in the second half until this drive. The Lions are 2nd and 10 with 35 yards remaining.
Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 4:21, 4th quarter
Denver get the stop but not until Jacksonville bleed some clock. They will have to speed things up. Touchback on the punt.
TOUCHDOWN! Texans 23-14 Raiders 7:41, 4th quarter
CJ Stroud to D Schultz for one yard
Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 5:51, 4th quarter
Trevor Lawrence is having a day. On a crucial 3rd down he goes for it and dives over the line for the 1st down. Lawrence is 23/35 for 279 yards, three touchdowns and no picks. He also has a rushing score.
PICK! Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 7:24, 4th quarter
Nix is intercepted putting the Jaguars on their 30-yard line. Ouch.
TOUCHDOWN! Lions 10-22 Steelers 12:23, 4th quarter
J Warren rush for 45 yards
Detroit are fading fast. Jaylen Warren houses a monster run for a big lead in the final quarter. Plenty of Lions there grasping at thin air as he scampers past.
Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 8:58, 4th quarter
One play and Denver are already over midfield. RJ Harvey takes a short pass and exchanges it for 32 yards.
Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 9:28, 4th quarter
And the comeback continues with Denver sacking Trevor Lawrence for the fourth time. Jags punt it away. Loads of time left for Nix and company.
Lions 10-15 Steelers 14:25, 4th quarter
Detroit in deep trouble as they go three and out and punt it away. A loss for the Lions and they are out of the playoffs.
Here is the story from Ford Field of DK Metcalf getting stuck in with a fan.
It’s GOOD! Lions 10-15 Steelers 14:57, 4th quarter
C Boswell 23 yard field goal
Pittsburgh fans might be a little deflated after the Steelers come away with a field goal. I count seven plays in the red zone with one score overturned for a penalty. That is not ideal when they would have had a two-score lead.
It’s GOOD! Broncos 20-34 Jaguars 10:44, 4th quarter
W Luts 21 yard field goal
Just too much heat on the fastball from Nix on 3rd down and Sutton can’t bring it in. It is an amazing effort from Nix to fire the ball through some bodies and find Sutton just a bit too hot.
Broncos 17-34 Jaguars 10:35, 4th quarter
Here the Broncos come! Bo Nix launches a rocket to Troy Franklin who holds on for the 49-yard gain. Denver are in the red zone just like that. Four yards to go.
TOUCHDOWN! Cardinals 16-26 Falcons 12:28, 4th quarter
K Cousins rush for one yard
It’s GOOD! Broncos 17-34 Jaguars 13:35, 4th quarter
C Little for 26 yards
Sublime from Riley Moss to spike what would have been a touchdown. Jakobi Myers was right there for the Jags but the cornerback snaps the door shut.
Broncos 17-31 Jaguars 13:41, 4th quarter
Maybe they’re not done yet. Lawrence takes another hit behind the line on 1st & Goal to move them back five yards. On 3rd down after an incompletion they take a timeout. Pressure.
Broncos 17-31 Jaguars 15:00, 4th quarter
Parker Washington has this secondary on toast. They just keep overcommiting and allowing the receiver to sprint past them as the missed tackles just keep stacking up. This is the strangest performance from the whole team. They’re at home, with the No 1 seed in their control and are all over the shop. Tough to see how they come back if the Jags finish this drive off. Five yards remain.
