In the third quarter of Atlanta's Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, Bijan exceeded 2,176 scrimmage yards, surpassing the great William Andrews' 1983 mark. In the end, there will be no asterisk about it happening in a 17 game season versus a 16 game season; Bijan got it done in spectacular fashion with a pair of touchdowns and a career-long 93 yard touchdown run in the mix.

Lacy, who is second in the FBS with 21 rushing touchdowns and second in the SEC with 1,366 rushing yards, injured his shoulder in the first half of the No. 6 Rebels' 41-10 victory against Tulane in a CFP first-round game on Dec. 20. Lacy's availability was one of the biggest storylines heading into Thursday's contest. He scored two touchdowns and ran for 31 yards in a 43-35 loss at Georgia on Oct. 11.

Week 17 is absolutely begging us to overreact to it. The Steelers have already blown it! Derrick Henry is going to play five more seasons and break every record! The Texans' defense is going to be unbeatable in the playoffs! Tyler Shough is a franchise QB! The Commanders need to fire everybody! A lot happened before Sunday in Week 17. There was a lot resolved, too, and a spicy Week 18 is set up with two division titles and two 1-seeds on the line.

Before Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen could take his usual moments to sit in the locker room and process Sunday's loss, he had to take a short walk. Allen, accompanied by head athletic trainer Nate Breske, limped out of the locker room and across the hallway into the X-ray room. The good news for Allen and the Bills is that his X-rays came back negative, according to coach Sean McDermott, who also said of Allen's health, "Nothing new has popped up to this point."

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Eagles defense rose to the occasion Sunday, delivering a goal-line stand in the second half and surviving a two-point conversion at the end of regulation to help Philadelphia escape with a 14-13 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles (11-5) blanked the NFL's No. 3 scoring offense for three-plus quarters before Buffalo (11-5) struck twice in the final moments, including on a 1-yard Josh Allen touchdown run with five seconds remaining.

The Rams' game against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium pits several of the NFL's closest coaching friends against each other with playoff and draft positions, job security and possibly the most valuable player award on the line. The Rams are 11-4 and coming off a crushing 38-37 overtime defeat by the Seattle Seahawks. The loss knocked the Rams out of the No. 1 seed in the NFC and dropped them to No. 6 with two games left.

The NFL has announced its Week 18 schedule. The Buffalo Bills will host the New York Jets on Sunday, January 4, at 4:25 p.m. on CBS, marking the final regular-season game at Highmark Stadium. Buffalo will celebrate the finale by bringing back its red helmets and wearing a Farewell Season patch on their jerseys.

You all need to see the tape, what that o-lineman did, No. 70. You should all see what he did. The play was already over, blown whistle, I'm about to get up, no 70, I don't know his name, he literally dove on my back. Like, he put his whole body weight (on me) doing some dirty stuff. So I got up and was about to (fight), and my coach came out and calmed me down.

Aside from tonight's Rams-Falcons game, Week 17 is in the books. Most of the playoff field has been set in both conferences, but there is still plenty to be determined regarding the first-round draft order. By virtue of their loss on Sunday, the Raiders are now in pole position to secure the No. 1 pick. Vegas sits at 2-14 on the year, with four teams sporting a record of 3-13.

That's what happens when you step in for a future Hall of Fame left tackle after the first snap of the game and maintain a seemingly unattainable level of play. The standard is the standard, Pleasants said in the raucous 49ers' locker room Sunday night after a 42-38 win over the Chicago Bears. Everybody's done a great job setting that standard. Kyle (Shanahan), Brock (Purdy), George (Kittle), Trent (Williams). They built this during this standard.

MIAMI GARDENS - A winning formula has developed for the 2025 Miami Dolphins - run the ball, stop the run, play good special teams, win the turnover battle and keep penalties to a minimum. Those elements (well, except for penalties) came together in the Dolphins' 20-17 victory over Tampa Bay on Sunday. These Dolphins (7-9) seem to be a new Dolphins team, or at the very least a different team. These Dolphins aren't the flashy, big-play, highlight-reel guys of the quarterback Tua Tagovailoa-wide receiver Tyreek Hill era.

"Just continuing to keep firing away," Mevis said. "I'm not going to be perfect in my career - nobody is. And it's all about how you respond and bounce back and make the next kick."

He didn't practice at all this week and coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be a game-time decision. The hope is Kittle will be healthy enough to face Seattle in next week's regular-season finale, although if the 49ers are not in position for the top seed or a first-round home game, he and other key players could be held out, depending on how 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan wants to handle it.

"Based upon my dialogue with him, and obviously the enthusiasm and the want-to for us to get something done, I don't [anticipate that]," O'Connell said. "But I also know we're inside of days before our season ends. ... I know he enjoys being here. ..."

CINCINNATI -- First, the cheers rang out from inside Paycor Stadium. Then an hour or so later, they boomed through the Cincinnati Bengals locker room, a raucous celebration that boomed through the walls. For the first time in his life, Bengals offensive lineman Cody Ford heard a whole venue chanting his name. On a day that featured several touchdowns in a 37-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals, no play was celebrated more than his 21-yard reception late in the third quarter.
