Sunday’s early window featured a trio of crucial divisional matchups in Ravens-Browns, Raiders-Chiefs and Cowboys-Washington. In the late afternoon, the Bills hope to rebound against a hot Tampa Bay team.
An ankle injury to Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and the subsequent Browns win over Baltimore is one of the day’s biggest stories so far. Elsewhere around the league, the Raiders poked the Chiefs, which the Chiefs enjoyed. Demaryius Thomas is on the hearts and minds of many across the league today. The Cowboys tighten their grip on the NFC East. Myles Garrett sets a Browns record.
This live blog from The Athletic follows the action from those games and more as the playoff race heats up. Three teams can clinch this week. Keep an eye out for our Sunday Night Football live blog, too, featuring all the happenings from Bears-Packers.
