  1. Taylor on the runpublished at 18:50 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Las Vegas Raiders 10-0 Indianapolis Colts

    A big dose of Jonathan Taylor here with a 24-yard run the highlight that sets the Colts up well into field goal range and maybe more.

  2. touchdown

    Touchdown - Billspublished at 18:49 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Atlanta Falcons 2-14 Buffalo Bills

    It's almost deja vu in Buffalo too, as Josh Allen also gets in for his second rushing touchdown of the day.

    This time the Bills clear the way for their quarterback, with Allen following them through for a four-yard score.

  3. touchdown

    Touchdown - Patriotspublished at 18:48 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Jacksonville Jaguars 3-14 New England Patriots

    The Patriots are doing what they need to do... and it's almost deja vu as Damien Harris gets over again.

    This time he has a bit more work to do to jink through from seven yards but that's his second rushing touchdown of the day and 14th of the season - he's now tied for second most in franchise history.

  4. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bengalspublished at 18:46 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Kansas City Chiefs 14-7 Cincinnati Bengals

    We mentioned Ja'Marr Chase and his big-play ability before the game, and here's exactly why the rookie is being talked about so much, with this 72-yard effort.

    This could already be the play of the night....

  5. touchdown

    Touchdown - Jetspublished at 18:43 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-14 New York Jets

    It's a second TD for the Jets and a second for Braxton Berrios. Zach Wilson dishes out this one through the air for a surprising lead again in New York.

  6. touchdown

    Touchdown - Chiefspublished at 18:40 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Kansas City Chiefs 14-0 Cincinnati Bengals

    For future reference, Travis Kelce is never blocking at the goal line! You always have to expect the tight end to sneak off the line, just as he does here but by the time Cincy notice it's too late, and Mahomes has his second TD pass of the game to put KC in charge.

  7. field goal

    Field goal - Raiderspublished at 18:38 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Las Vegas Raiders 10-0 Indianapolis Colts

    Daniel Carlson sends a 47-yarder through the posts to make it a 10-point lead for the Raiders - and that's a handy advantage early on.

  8. touchdown

    Touchdown - Billspublished at 18:37 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Atlanta Falcons 2-7 Buffalo Bills

    Good response to that mess of a punt return by the Bills.

    They force the Falcons to go three-and-out and Josh Allen engineers a 15-play drive, eight of them coming in the red zone, before the Bills' quarterback goes round the outside to ease over from a yard. That's already the 30th career rushing touchdown for the fourth-year QB.

  9. touchdown

    Touchdown - Ravenspublished at 18:33 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 0-7 Baltimore Ravens

    Matthew Stafford is meant to be the missing piece for the rams, but although he's largely done well this season, he's thrown his fourth pick six of the season here to help Baltimore take the lead.

    That's more than any other QB this season and exactly what Sean Mcvay doesn't want to see from his franchise QB, on the road in a big game, as there'll probably be a couple more coming up in the play-offs.

    Chuck Clark is the scorer for the Ravens - credited with a 17-yard interception return for a crucial score.

  10. Burrow sacked - againpublished at 18:31 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Kansas City Chiefs 7-0 Cincinnati Bengals

    Chris Jones gets his hands on Joe Burrow and stops the Bengals drive in its tracks. Burrow has been sacked more than any other QB this season and the Chiefs show us just why here.

    At least these days defenders aren't allowed to smash into the QBs like they once did, and it's no more than a hug from Jones on Burrow this time as the whistle goes quickly to stop the play.

  11. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bearspublished at 18:30 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    New York Giants 0-14 Chicago Bears

    Chicago's Trevis Gipson made a big play after the opening snap with a strip sack on Mike Glennon... now it's team-mate Tashaun Gipson who intercepts the very first pass that Glennon attempts and runs it back for 31 yards. That's two turnovers from six plays by the Giants.

    And on the seventh play of Chicago's drive, Andy Dalton floats one to Darnell Mooney at the back of the end zone for a four-yard touchdown.

    Sorry Giants fans, already looking like you might as well call it a night.

  12. touchdown

    Touchdown - Buccaneerspublished at 18:27 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-7 New York Jets

    And another touchdown! This is what you get with nine games on all at once!

    Tom Brady does not like losing against the Jets, whether with the Patriots or now with the Bucs, and it's a simple task for him really to float a back shoulder fade to Mike Evans who, as he usually does, dominates in the air and takes in the scoring grab.

  13. touchdown

    Touchdown - Patriotspublished at 18:22 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Jacksonville Jaguars 0-7 New England Patriots

    The Patriots need the Falcons to do them a favour against the Bills today.

    They also need to win themselves, of course, and they've gone in front against the 2-13 Jags with Damien Harris getting over from two yards to cap a drive lasting seven minutes.

    That's his 13th rushing touchdown of the season - tied for third most in franchise history.

  14. touchdown

    Touchdown - Chiefspublished at 18:22 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Kansas City Chiefs 7-0 Cincinnati Bengals

    Classic Chiefs touchdown as Patrick Mahomes fires in a 29-yard pass for Demarcus Robinson who gave his defender a torrid time with a nicely run route into the end zone.

  15. touchdown

    Touchdown - Washingtonpublished at 18:18 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Philadelphia Eagles 0-7 Washington Football Team

    Washington are still in the play-off hunt, especially if they can maintain this start...

    Jaret Patterson trundles through the line on the opening drive and over in the corner to open the scoring with an 11-yard touchdown.

  16. Stafford sidearmpublished at 18:16 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 0-0 Baltimore Ravens

    Nice sidearm pass from Matthew Stafford to get the Rams out of trouble backed up on their own line. The Rams will have to deal with a loud crowd and a desperate Ravens side tonight, but he dealt with both pretty well there.

  17. Safety - Falconspublished at 18:16 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Atlanta Falcons 2-0 Buffalo Bills

    The Bills beat the Patriots last week to replace them at the top of the AFC East. If they win their last two games they'll win the division.

    But after forcing the Falcons to punt after their first drive in a snowy Buffalo, the Bills' special teams unit makes a hash of it. First they fumble the punt return in the tackle then spill the loose ball on the goal-line and although they recover it in the end zone, that means the Falcons will open the scoring with a safety.

    Don't see many of those in the NFL!

  18. touchdown

    Touchdown - Raiderspublished at 18:14 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Las Vegas Raiders 7-0 Indianapolis Colts

    Josh Jacobs piles over to give the Raiders the lead against the Colts. Remember both of these sides are battling for play-off spots, with the Colts able to punch their ticket today if they can win.

  19. touchdown

    Touchdown - Jetspublished at 18:11 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-7 New York Jets

    Lovely little switch play down at the goal line by the Jets as they hand it off, eventually, to receiver Braxton Berrios for a one-yard score.

    Nothing to play for for the Jets but that often makes players a bit more loose and dangerous!

  20. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bearspublished at 18:10 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January 2022

    New York Giants 0-7 Chicago Bears

    And this is one of the reasons why the New York Giants won't be playing any play-off football this season.

    Mike Glennon is sacked by Trevis Gipson after the game's very first snap in Chicago, the ball's knocked loose and Bilal Nichols scoops it up before running out of bounds just two yards short of the end zone.

    David Montgomery runs it in on the next play to give the Bears an early lead.
