New Orleans Saints<\/strong><\/a> – The Saints pull off the sweep of the Panthers this season with a late field goal to win 20-17. Tyler Shough threw for 272 yards and a touchdown to score New Orleans’ fourth win of the season.<\/p>\nTampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong><\/a> – The Bucs lost a game they really needed to win for the sake of the division race between them and Carolina. The good news is that Mike Evans is back, and he went for over 130 yards, so he will be key for Tampa down the stretch.<\/p>\nAtlanta Falcons<\/strong><\/a> – Kirk Cousins put together a masterful performance in primetime against the Bucs. Cousins threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns in a thrilling 29-28 victory on Thursday night.<\/p>\nCarolina Panthers<\/strong><\/a> – The Panthers wasted an opportunity to take sole possession of the division after dropping yet another game to the Saints. A late unnecessary roughness penalty put the Saints into field goal range to ensure a loss.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Chicago\u2019s defense came up with three picks and five sacks to ensure victory.<\/p>\nDetroit Lions<\/strong><\/a> – A scoreless third quarter was the issue in the Lions’ 41-34 loss to the Rams. Amon-Ra St. Brown had a massive day with 164 yards and two touchdowns, but Detroit is now on the outside looking in on the playoff picture.<\/p>\nGreen Bay Packers<\/strong><\/a> – The Packers not only suffered a key loss to the Broncos, but they also suffered a key loss on their roster in Micah Parsons. Green Bay now sits behind the Bears for the division lead. Could the Packers reunite with a former defensive star<\/a> to help fill the void left by the loss of Parsons?<\/p>\nMinnesota Vikings<\/strong><\/a> – J.J. McCarthy started off with a pick on the opening drive, but he settled in and threw two touchdowns in the win against Dallas. Although eliminated from the playoffs, Minnesota is building towards next season, and tonight was a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Three rushing touchdowns helped spur the win to clinch a playoff berth. Davante Adams did leave with a concerning hamstring injury, so that will be something to watch.<\/p>\nSeattle Seahawks<\/strong><\/a> – Seattle avoids a massive upset at the hands of Philip Rivers and the Colts.
