For now, they are still the No. In order to finish 9-8 and go to the postseason for the first time since 2016, Miami broke a five-game losing run. In their final three games of the season, the Jets managed just one touchdown. Detroit now has the ball and lead (2-0-16) with 3:27 to go in Q4.

[Houston Texans](https://www.chron.com/sports/texans/) took care of business on the football field Sunday afternoon. 1 overall pick to the Bayou City. Houston took a trio of 10-point leads on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, yet a second-half collapse seemed to set the Texans up for a 31-24 loss—which would have sent the No.

Jason Sanders kicked a go-ahead 50-yard field goal with 18 seconds left, helping the Miami Dolphins to their first playoff berth since 2016.

Kirk Cousins threw for 225 yards and a touchdown in the first half and watched the rest of the way as the NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings tuned up for the playoffs. Eddy Pineiro kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired, and the Carolina Panthers closed out their season with an opportunistic victory. But the Bengals’ chances at the No 2 seed in the AFC ended when Buffalo beat New England.

Given this is a franchise that could be on the verge of hiring a new head coach for the third in time three years, depending on what happens with Lovie Smith, it’d be wrong to assume the Texans will follow conventional thinking and take a quarterback with their first pick in the 2023 draft.

The best thing for Poles to do is to bring in as many blue-chip players as possible, and that means trading down to a team that will give up a lot for Bryce Young or whoever is the top quarterback.

[#ForDamar] [pic.twitter.com/4sInpA8j0D] [January 8, 2023] [https://t.co/NALlJK8tCg] [January 8, 2023] The final weekend of the NFL regular season is upon us, and players are extending a "finish strong" mentality to the pregame tunnel. Which is fortunate, because for some fan bases, it's the last showing they'll get to enjoy for a while.

The Dolphins and Jaguars grabbed the last two spots in the A.F.C., while Tom Brady broke his own record for pass completions.

But after the Jaguars’ defense allowed a field goal to open the second half, it held the Titans to a punt, a turnover or a turnover on downs on five straight possessions. Mills converted on a late fourth-and-18 and launched a ball on a fourth-and-20 into the end zone for what could have been the game-tying score. His second return and the extra point put the Bills up by 21-17 and were the final lead change of the game, handing the Patriots a loss that dropped them out of the playoffs. Once the Ravens fell to the Bengals in the afternoon, the Chargers were locked into the fifth seed in the A.F.C. With the first pick, the Texans could have grabbed the quarterback of their choice from a group that includes Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s C.J. And though Herbert was able to finish the game fairly comfortably, Staley paid the price for playing Williams and Bosa. Brady had to fully take over as a surgeon in the short-to-intermediate area, getting down the field little by little just to stay in games. Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense never got off the ground, and Prescott produced his worst game of the season at the worst time. The Eagles held onto their top seed, but only by a smidgen, in a 22-16 win over the Giants. Pederson turned the second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence into a legitimate star, and the defense, though inconsistent, has the talent up front to be a nuisance from time to time. 7 seed, the Dolphins could be a scary opponent for the division-rival Bills in the first round. In the wild-card race among Miami, New England and Pittsburgh, the Dolphins got some help to take the final spot.

Thomas' gesture might have been the most poignant moment, but it was far from the only shout-out to the Bills safety on an NFL Sunday filled with love for a ...

The pass-rusher was the No. 4 overall player on the big board by B/R's NFL Scouting Department, which is ahead of all the quarterbacks and behind only defensive linemen. While his running stands out, so does his ability to stay on the field. 36 overall to the New York Jets. That type of versatility will translate to an NFL that is so dependent on big plays and moving the chains with the passing attack. 2 overall in 2018 to the New York Giants. Combine that with their desperate need of impact players across the roster, and teams who want Young or another quarterback may be calling Chicago ahead of the draft. 2 quarterback who was listed as the most accurate passer. Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis all potential early picks. Young won the 2021 Heisman Trophy, while Anderson finished fifth in the voting as a defensive player that same season.
