The Bears are showing their claws
It was a divisional match that was on the program for these two teams, a week after the painful end against the Packers for the hosts.
Chicago took the lead in the first quarter before suffering the awakening of the Vikings who will score 24 points in the space of two quarters to have a 14-point lead entering the last quarter.
But the Chicago Bears had not said their last words. With two touchdowns from DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, Chicago came back to within three points.
Cairo Santos, unhappy last week, then attempts an onside kick which will be covered by a Chicago player offering a last possibility to the Bears. Santos will eventually equalize at the buzzer on a 48-yard field goal.
But in overtime, it was ultimately the Vikings who won 30 to 27 on a field goal from Romo and thus remained in contact with the Lions for the division title.
The Packers take their revenge
It was a rematch of last season’s NFC Finals between the 49ers and Packers, this time in cold Wisconsin.
You miss just one person and everything collapses: Brock Purdy, absent, the 49ers attack was orphaned by its quarterback. Led by a huge Josh Jacobs who scored 3 touchdowns, the Packers were never really worried by these 49ers and easily won 38 to 10.
For San Francisco, qualifying for the playoffs will start to be complicated.
The Lions defense got the job done.
For once, it was not the Lions’ attack that stood out, but their defense. With 3 touchdowns on the ground from Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery and a bulletproof defense, the Lions won 24 to 6, live on M6+, against the Colts in a severe lack of inspiration on the front line. ‘attack.
The Lions reach 10 victories this season and maintain the lead in the NFC and their division.
The Titans create a surprise
With only 2 victories on the clock this season, Tennessee was clearly not favorite in this division duel against the Texans. And in this match, where the two teams went blow for blow throughout the match. It’s in the 4e quarter-time that the Titans delivered the fatal blow on a touchdown from Chig Okonkwo and won 32 to 27. Will Lewis, despite an interception, finished with 18 passes completed for 24 and 278 yards.
Oh, and we forgot something: the Cowboys won a game….
