“But you see the replay and the panic in some of the coaches and the staff out there, and you realize it was something really bad.” The Raiders had to do that Saturday, when linebacker Harvey Langi left the game with a concussion.

For a complete breakdown of the matchup, The Bengals have won and covered in seven straight games since losing to the Browns in Week 8, and are an incredible 20-3 ATS in their last 23 games played! The Bills are playing for seeding, while the Patriots can get into the playoffs with a win. The model enters Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season on a 160-113 run making top-rated NFL picks since 2017, and it says to avoid the Buccaneers, even though they are facing Atlanta, whom the Bucs have beaten in five straight head-to-head matchups. Everything is on the line now: postseason spots and seeding are up for grabs, and it's anyone's guess as to which clubs will prove to be contenders rather than pretenders in Week 18.

A pair of massive playoff implication games for the NFL on a Saturday before the final slate of Sunday games. There are some fun plays today that I highly ...

Take him over 75 yards at plus money and enjoy the day. I think the Jaguars and Titans score some points in this game, and the Jaguars take advantage of Josh Dobbs being the quarterback for the Titans. A longshot, but I like one of these a week and if Mahomes is going to break the record, it can happen against a division rival that is 30th in the NFL in passing yards given up.

How will the top-three seeds in the AFC play out? Will the Packers finish off their late season run with a playoff berth? There are just two of her many ...

No. The Seahawks are in playoff position heading into Week 18 but in order to remain there they’ll need a little help. 1 seed with a victory over Arizona AND an Eagles loss to the Giants. The Bills can clinch the top seed in the AFC with a win over the Patriots AND a Chiefs loss. All thoughts during this Bills game will be on No. The Ravens can clinch the AFC’s fifth seed with a win over Cincinnati AND a Chargers loss to the Broncos. Cincinnati will clinch the AFC’s second seed with a win over Baltimore AND a Bills loss to the Patriots. But if they lose to the Titans, thus giving up the division crown to Tennessee, they then fall into the wild card race and muddy those waters even more making it a four-team battle for one final spot. The cancellation meant the Bengals clinched the AFC North based on win percentage, but it also ruled out Cincinnati from a shot at vying for the AFC’s top seed. Things are a lot more complicated atop the AFC. That one will come down to the very last game, a Sunday Night showdown between the Packers and Lions. Incredibly, just four days later, the team announced Hamlin is awake and communicating, and was able to speak with teammates via Zoom on Friday.

No rule change would eliminate the play that saw Damar Hamlin go down. Therefore, it's incumbent for the NFL to improve its health-care coverage for players ...

We need to channel our shock and awe of what happened to Hamlin to greater humanity for football players and greater understanding for the risk reward calculus that comes with pro football. And we need to channel that understanding to change how we talk about and cover football players. But it can quickly become a nightmare for the select few who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Every hit on that field is the equivalent of a car accident, only without air bags and seat belts. The players should receive nothing short of lifetime health care because the effects of playing the sport will be with them for good. Instead of trying to pretend we can take the health concerns out of it — just another form of denial and compartmentalization — our collective outrage and attention are best focused on making sure the compensation is equal to the risk. The NFL has taken the head out of the game, you can’t do the same with the chest and the heart. That kind of coverage should be a given for every player, but it’s far from one -- under normal circumstances. Damar Hamlin is in his second year in the NFL. That hit, which came just four days after the QB suffered what appeared to be another head injury in a game against Buffalo, resulted in Tagovailoa being taken away in an ambulance to the very same hospital. He was whisked away in an ambulance, no thumbs up to the crowd, no relieved ovation, and then a full stadium of people stayed in their seats for an hour waiting for the resumption of play. It is only when the truly horrifying injuries happen, when we’re shocked together, that any of this feels like it should change.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs officially clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a 31-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jarrett Stidham started his second game in a row in place of the sidelined Derek Carr, and this performance didn't go nearly as well as the first one. But Jacobs fell short of the franchise rushing record of 1,759 yards set by Marcus Allen in 1985. He rushed for 45 yards and could possibly win the NFL rushing title with 1,653 yards. Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton made 16 tackles, giving him 180 for the season and breaking the team record of 179 set by Derrick Johnson in 2011. But, obviously, with the situation that happened Monday night with Damar, you still have that in the back of your mind. The Raiders (6-11) ended their first season under coach Josh McDaniels with three consecutive losses and four defeats in five games. That surpassed the record of 5,562 yards set by Drew Brees in 2011 with the New Orleans Saints. Because Monday night's Buffalo-Cincinnati game was canceled, the Chiefs could wind up playing the Bills or Bengals in the AFC championship on a neutral field. But, even if it didn't count, it underscored the Chiefs' creativity and willingness to have fun, even while playing for playoff positioning and a week off. We got some good things going for the playoffs, and whatever we run has to work." Late in the first half Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Chiefs huddled and spun in a circle, broke out into the shotgun with running back Jerick McKinnon taking a direct snap. The Chiefs then scored anyway to take full control of what became a 31-13 victory.

Mahomes then threw the ball back across the field to [Kadarius Toney](https://www.nfl.com/players/kadarius-toney/), who broke a tackle and weaved through traffic for a 9-yard score. Quarterback [Jarrett Stidham](https://www.nfl.com/players/jarrett-stidham/)played adequately in his second start with 210 yards and a touchdown but fumbled twice (one lost) and threw a pick. [Jerick McKinnon](https://www.nfl.com/players/jerick-mckinnon/)collected one for the first score of the game -- the most eye-catching snap of Saturday's game didn't count.

Even [Harrison Butker](https://www.nfl.com/players/harrison-butker/), who is enduring his worst career year in field goal percentage (75) and extra-point percentage (92.7), connected on a 44-yard field goal and all four extra points.

The defense flashed, as well, totaling six sacks and forcing two turnovers while holding rushing leader [Josh Jacobs](https://www.nfl.com/players/josh-jacobs/)to just 45 yards on the ground. [Patrick Mahomes](https://www.nfl.com/players/patrick-mahomes/)-led offense opened a big lead early by scoring three touchdowns on its first four drives and played turnover-free football throughout, which has been a problem for a unit that is tied for 26th-worst in giving the ball away. That was not the case Saturday with a first-round bye on the line. After winning two games against the Broncos by a total of nine points and escaping a one-possession game against the lowly two-win Texans during their current streak, the Chiefs fired on all cylinders in Las Vegas. Kansas City will enter the playoffs on a five-game winning streak, but it hasn't gone unnoticed that the team had played down to competition lately.

The Bills are still in the running for the No. In Philadelphia, the Eagles can earn the No. Even the Pittsburgh Steelers have a chance. The Lions are also in the playoff hunt but need to beat the Packers and hope the Seahawks lose to the Rams. 1 seed in the AFC, depending on what the Chiefs do against the Raiders on Saturday night. In fairly straightforward playoff drama, the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 20-16 Saturday night to win the AFC South for the first time in five seasons. There are four rounds to the playoffs: The wild-card round is on Jan. The No. The list is fairly long. The AP has broken down The NFL has a re-seeding policy after each playoff round. The NFC’s top spot is still up for grabs.

The final week of the NFL regular season is here, and there are a number of teams with a lot left to play for.

All other games on Sunday will be on CBS or Fox. — The final "Sunday Night Football" offering of the 2022 NFL season is a big one, as divisional foes in the Lions and Packers face off at Lambeau Field. In Seattle, the Seahawks will look to keep its path to the postseason open with a win over the Rams before cheering for Detroit during Sunday's prime-time offering. The early window of Sunday afternoon's action is headlined by the Patriots', Dolphins' and Steelers' pursuit of the AFC's final playoff spot. New England controls its own playoff destiny with a win (but must do that against the Bills), while Miami and Pittsburgh will need some help due to tiebreakers should that Pats lose.

Damar Hamlin continues his rapid improvement from Monday night's near-death experience in Cincinnati.

the NFL’s third worst rush defence, they ought to do it, too. Rams can knock Seattle out of the playoffs. Eagles still haven’t clinched NFC East and No. The Chargers have made the playoffs as an AFC wild card, with only their seeding (fifth or sixth) pending. This game, and the one below here, together will determine who gets the No. Didn’t figure the Titans could score nearly enough to keep pace with Trevor Lawrence and a red-hot Jaguars attack. Otherwise, Chicago if it loses to Minnesota. But if they can, home field for a Baltimore-Cincinnati playoff game would be decided by coin flip. Probably not, even if they had their starting QB, who’s out again (knee). But because Damar Hamlin has improved so much, and three days have passed since indications became so positive about his recovery, perhaps they’ll win it for Damar, as Bills fans all hope. … Cleveland downgraded DE Jadeveon Clowney (not injury related) to out for Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh … New England — a white oval, with a blue number three in the middle, keylined in red.

Denny Kellington performed CPR on stricken Bills safety who collapsed after making a tackle against Cincinnati last week.

This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me! The Chiefs then drove 98 yards for a touchdown to increase their lead to 21-3 and all but seal the outcome. If the Bills lose Sunday to the Patriots, their prospective meeting with the Chiefs in the AFC championship game would be played in Kansas City. Players on the field in Vegas joined the fans in the pregame ovation, prompted by an announcement within the stadium. Fans in Las Vegas cheered for Hamlin during a pregame show of support for the Buffalo Bills safety and his family. But by week’s end, there were highly encouraging signs in Hamlin’s recovery, and those in and around the sport were feeling a sense of relief.
