  1. That's ugly! Phillips muffs second puntpublished at 22:51 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    San Francisco 49ers 10-6 Cincinnati Bengals

    Darius Phillips just wants the ground to open up and swallow him.

    After their field goal, the Bengals force the 49ers to go three-and-out, only for Phillips to muff a punt for the second time today and let San Francisco keep the ball.

    Phillips grabs his facemask in despair as he leaves the field.

  2. touchdown

    Touchdown - Buccaneerspublished at 22:48 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    Buffalo Bills 3-24 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    The Bills are forced to punt and after a 72-yard drive, Tom Brady gets over with a quarterback sneak.

    That's what we're used to seeing from the GOAT. Verbals with the opposition, not so much. The Bills have got under his skin tonight, which probably makes that score even sweeter.

    The Bucs are firmly in charge now. How will Buffalo respond?

  3. field goal

    Field goal - Bengalspublished at 22:39 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    San Francisco 49ers 10-6 Cincinnati Bengals

    The Bengals' drive stalls after 12 plays so they settle for a 28-yard field goal from Evan McPherson to get back within four.

  4. touchdown

    Touchdown - Chargerspublished at 22:32 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    New York Giants 7-24 Los Angeles Chargers

    This one counts! And it's another bomb but this time launched by Justin Herbert to Jalen Guyton for a 59-yard touchdown.

    Guyton is another second-stringer getting more time with Keenan Allen out, but Herbert is showing that he can find anyone almost anywhere on the field with a cannon for an arm.

  5. No Touchdown - Bengals!published at 22:30 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    San Francisco 49ers 10-3 Cincinnati Bengals

    Rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase looked to have blazed back into the spotlight with a wonderful diving catch off a bomb from Joe Burrow, but one of the replays shows that the ball hit the ground as he tumbled into the end zone.

    Personally I'd love to give that one as it's a great effort but rules are rules.

  6. Giants edging closerpublished at 22:24 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    New York Giants 7-17 Los Angeles Chargers

    The Giants are winning the field position battle right now after the teams swapped punts and a poor one from the Chargers gives Big Blue the ball in opposition territory.

  7. touchdown

    Touchdown - Buccaneerspublished at 22:23 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    Buffalo Bills 3-17 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Tom Brady was always going to have fun throwing to Mike Evans - and here's an example of why as the GOAT throws a TD pass to the big receiver in a place where only Evans could grab it.

    Good luck trying to stop these two doing things like this...

  8. touchdown

    Touchdown - 49erspublished at 22:21 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    San Francisco 49ers 10-3 Cincinnati Bengals

    Are we still calling Deebo Samuel a wide receiver? I'm not sure we should any more as he's just run in another rushing touchdown from 27 yards to put the Niners ahead.

    Niners coach Kyle Shanahan just loves giving Samuel the ball in the backfield and using his electric speed, and again it's paid off. Samuel doesn't catch the ball much these days...

  9. Sack - Teddy tackledpublished at 22:14 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    Detroit Lions 10-14 Denver Broncos

    Teddy Bridgewater guilty of just hanging on to the ball for a bit too long and the Lions get to him for the sack and that's going to lead to a Denver punt.

  10. field goal

    Field goal - Chargerspublished at 22:12 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    New York Giants 7-17 Los Angeles Chargers

    Very, very lucky for the Chargers to get three points here, as they go for it on fourth down and don't appear to get it, but they're flagged for a false start and ironically that saves them from turning the ball over.

    Quirk of the rules there but it allows them to run that fourth down again and this time take the three points from Dustin Hopkins' kick.

  12. field goal

    Field goal - Buccaneerspublished at 22:06 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    Buffalo Bills 0-10 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    The Bills call come after Brady and he can't find his man in the end zone, so the Bucs have to settle for a Ryan Succop kick from 23 yards out. Those two Brady runs definitely the highlight of the game so far - the man seems to be getting younger and quicker!

  13. field goal

    Field goal - Bengalspublished at 22:04 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    San Francisco 49ers 3-3 Cincinnati Bengals

    Evan McPherson boots a 37-yarder to level things up in the Jungle. Tough game so far.

  14. touchdown

    Touchdown - Chargerspublished at 21:59 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    New York Giants 7-14 Los Angeles Chargers

    Chargers back in front as Joshua Palmer catches the TD pass from Justin Herbert. Palmer's getting some time with LA missing Keenan Allen due to Covid.

  15. touchdown

    Touchdown - Lionspublished at 21:58 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    Detroit Lions 7-14 Denver Broncos

    Detroit get on the board despite being short handed today thanks to a spot of the flu going around the team. Kalif Raymond shows a nice change of direction running his route to create space to take the Jared Goff pass in for the touchdown.

  16. Brady on the run!published at 21:56 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    Buffalo Bills 0-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Tom Brady is feeling it now, he's been involved in a big of pushing and shoving and now he's taken off using his legendary lack of speed to get a first down.

    The new Brady slide needings looking at as well, that's a studs-up challenge worthy of at least a yellow card...

  17. touchdown

    Touchdown - Broncospublished at 21:48 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    Detroit Lions 0-14 Denver Broncos

    Denver double their lead and it's in a similar fashion to the opener but this time it's Melvin Gordon who barges his way over to score from just a yard out.

    Some tough running by the Broncos.

  18. Turnover - Ninerspublished at 21:47 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    San Francisco 49ers 0-0 Cincinnati Bengals

    This must drive the coaches nuts - when the Bengals defence do their job by forcing a San Francisco punt, but the kick is fumbled by the Cincinnati return man and that gives the 49ers the ball right back on the Bengals' 23 yard line.

  19. touchdown

    Touchdown - Giantspublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    New York Giants 7-7 Los Angeles Chargers

    The Giants haven't travelled right across the country just for a holiday - they've come to play and show that right away by hitting straight back with a Mike Glennon TD pass to Elijhaa Penny to level the scores.

  20. touchdown

    Touchdown - Buccaneerspublished at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2021

    Buffalo Bills 0-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Leonard Fournette is having a terrific spell and he strikes first for Tampa Bay's top-scoring offence by ripping off a 47-yard touchdown run through thie Bills defence that was top of the overall NFL rankings.

    Buffalo get mown down by Jonathan Taylor of the Colts a couple of weeks ago though, and now Fournette has had some early joy. That's a worry.
