Cam Ward threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns, and the Tennessee Titans snapped an 11-game home skid by beating the Kansas City Chiefs 26-9 on Sunday. The Titans (3-12) improved to 1-7 at home this season with their first win at Nissan Stadium since 3 November 2024. The skid matched the franchise's worst since moving to Tennessee in 1997.
"We've got a team that I think has got a top future as far as next year's concerned," Jones said. "Starting with the offense, starting with that as we stand here tonight. And I think we've got the bones of the heck of a defense out there as well. And so I think that as we do things that are directed toward making us better, period, no matter who we do it with, as we do those things, we're starting [from a] real good spot."
Corbett thought he might have taken away that hope late in the first quarter when he stepped on Bryce Young's bothersome right ankle late, leaving the quarterback temporarily on the ground in pain. "Shoot, gosh dang-it, I owe you dinner, sorry a whole lot," Corbett said with a smile, trying not to give away exactly what he said with one of his young sons standing within earshot.
This is going to be the running back this current generation of young fans remembers for the rest of their days. And I don't just mean Falcons fans, I mean NFL fans across the globe. Bijan is the most undeniable talent the team has had since Julio Jones, and we're only three years into his career. Do whatever it takes to keep this man in Atlanta. Pay him early and
Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season began with a Thursday night contest between the Rams and Seahawks that had major playoff implications. Seattle converted two separate 2-point conversions in an OT win, ascending to the NFC's No. 1 seed before the final two weeks of the season. In the first game on Saturday, the Eagles started slow, then poured it on against the Commanders to win their second straight NFC East crown.
Sitting out last year and the times before, you don't take getting to play this game for granted. You play every game to win. You play every game with a chance to go to the playoffs or play in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, that's not always the case, and if it's not the case when we take the field or whenever it may be, I'm thankful for the opportunity to play this game. And I'm not going to ever pass it up.
McDaniel's record is 34-32. He has no playoff wins. He solved quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, which was good, but then overvalued him in a manner that financially cripples the team next season and leaves them without a quarterback. Surely, McDaniel learned that the culture of comfort he espoused doesn't work after being run over by the likes of Jalen Ramsey and Tyreek Hill being perpetually late to practices last season. But has he learned enough?

With another prolific tight end in Arizona's Trey McBride also taking the field on Sunday, Pitts has another opportunity to increase his profile. McBride is one of the NFL's highest-paid tight ends, averaging $19 million per year on a deal he signed earlier this year. Should Pitts prove to be the more productive tight end on the field in this battle, it could do wonders for his price tag as an impending free agent.
The New York Jets will officially be without Garrett Wilson as they navigate the end of the 2025 season. The Jets can still enter the holidays on a high note with a road win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. Undrafted rookie QB Brady Cook will attempt to deliver the holiday gift to Jets fans everywhere, but he will need some help from his friends on the offensive side of the football to secure a victory in Week 16.
Surely the most astonishing detail in this utterly astonishing story is that Rivers was waiting for Steichen's call. He'd been watching the Colts' game when he saw Jones go down, and later said that the thought of replacing Jones had immediately crossed his mind. Rivers and Steichen are close; they worked together during Rivers's final season with the Los Angeles Chargers, in 2019, where Steichen had been the quarterbacks coach.
Backup Malik Willis, who took over in the second quarter after Love sustained a concussion, injured his right shoulder late in the game. He appeared to get hurt on the final play of regulation when Chicago's Montez Sweat sacked him. Willis grabbed his throwing shoulder after the play but was able to finish the game. "I'd say he's pretty sore," LaFleur said Sunday.
Aaron Glenn and his New York Jets could take a few notes from how a struggling football team like the New Orleans Saints can regroup from a miserable start to the season and actually build some legitimate momentum. Tied 6-6 in the second quarter, the Saints outscored the Jets 23-0 in the final 31:31 to cruise to a 29-6 victory in Week 16 action on Sunday afternoon down in New Orleans.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins will play against the Miami Dolphins, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Higgins was questionable for the team's final road game as he worked his way through concussion protocol. On Friday, Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Higgins had a final hurdle to clear in order for him to play against the Dolphins. According to a source, the team was hopeful that Higgins could play but wanted to check how he felt Sunday morning before giving him the green light.

Dante Moore threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score and No. 5 Oregon beat No. 19 James Madison 51-34 on Saturday night in a College Football Playoff opener. The Ducks (12-1) advanced to face Texas Tech in a quarterfinal game at the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1. Oregon won a playoff game for the first time since 2014, when the Ducks beat Florida State in the Rose Bowl semifinal before losing to Ohio State.
CLEVELAND -- Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins left Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills on a cart after suffering a right leg injury. Cleveland quickly ruled out Judkins for the remainder of the game. Judkins' right leg bent in an awkward position when he was tackled by Bills linebacker Matt Milano after catching a pass behind the line of scrimmage.
OXFORD, Miss. -- Trinidad Chambliss ran for two touchdowns and passed for another, and No. 6 Ole Miss looked unfazed by the defection of coach Lane Kiffin, beating No. 17 Tulane 41-10 on Saturday in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Scoring runs of 20 yards by Kewan Lacy and 4 yards by Chambliss gave Ole Miss (12-1) a 14-0 lead before eight minutes had elapsed in the coaching debut of Pete Golding, who was promoted from defensive coordinator after Kiffin left for LSU on Nov. 30.
EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings' charter plane experienced mechanical issues shortly after takeoff Saturday afternoon and returned to Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, a team spokesman confirmed. Players, coaches and staff planned to board a second plane later Saturday afternoon, or early evening, and arrive Saturday night in Newark, New Jersey, ahead of their game Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew sustained a left knee injury in the opening minute of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, left the game before halftime and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Minshew scrambled on the third play of the game and fell to the turf in what appeared to be a non-contact injury. Immediately after the play, Minshew reached for his left knee and hobbled off the field.
Agnew joined as a legitimately interesting returner, a one-time All-Pro and one-time Pro Bowler who averaged 10.3 yards per punt return and 26.1 yards per kick return as recently as 2023. We knew health would be an issue for him, but as an occasionally useful gadget player on offense with a track record of quality work on special teams-he has six combined career touchdowns on returns!-Agnew seemed likely to help with the team's return woes.
