Take him over 75 yards at plus money and enjoy the day. I think the Jaguars and Titans score some points in this game, and the Jaguars take advantage of Josh Dobbs being the quarterback for the Titans. A longshot, but I like one of these a week and if Mahomes is going to break the record, it can happen against a division rival that is 30th in the NFL in passing yards given up.

Damar Hamlin made his first public statement after the Buffalo Bills safety suffered cardiac arrest following an on-field collision Jan. 2.

[NFL](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/nfl/) Thursday. Although Hamlin bounced back on his feet, after taking a few steps, he collapsed backward onto the turf. By Friday, Hamlin was in communication with his teammates via FaceTime before he addressed the concerned public, days after many witnessed him collapse on the field after colliding with Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team.” “The Love has been overwhelming, but I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out. Since the terrifying Jan.

Roger Goodell has sent a letter to fans following what has been a difficult week for the NFL world after 24-year-old Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest ...

Whilst the Bills will be hoping to secure the first-seed and get that all important bye week from round one of the playoffs. After the difficult few days, the commissioner penned a message to NFL fans. Hamlin would go on to FaceTime his teammates and was even said to have flexed to the cameras.

Just a day after Damar Hamlin spoke to his team-mates for the first time since suffering a cardiac arrest, he's now posted a message to the fans on social ...

Midway through the first half, the 24-year-old collapsed after making a tackle and had to be revived on the field before he was transferred to the University of Cincinnati hospital. An immense amount of support for Hamlin has flooded in since the incident that occurred on Monday, that saw the game between the Bills and the Bengals postponed. The game was postponed and later called a non contest, with the sporting world praying for Hamlin to pull through.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to leave his mark on the National Football League, and he's now set a new regular season record ...

We continue to focus on the recovery of Damar Hamlin and are encouraged by the improvements in his condition as well as the tremendous outpouring of support and care for Damar and his family from across the country. If the Bills meet the Chiefs in the AFC conference final, the game will be played on a neutral site to remove any unfair advantage. 5,614 yards is the final total for Mahomes in the regular season, and although his passing yards aren't the highest of all-time, his rushing totals have bumped him above greats such as Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Payton Manning. However, the only important factor here is that Damar Hamlin is healthy, after his cardiac arrest on the field mid-game brought the sporting world to a halt. And he's already helped his case, as he's set the record for the most offensive yards (passing + rushing + receiving) in a single season by a quarterback in The Chiefs just needed to beat Las Vegas Raiders to clinch top spot, and did so with a 31-13 win.

With the obvious caveat that the health of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin remains paramount, the NFL did not have an easy decision to make for how to ...

In the event of that occurring, then home field will be determined by the flipping of a coin. - If BUF wins AND KC loses: Bills become the No. 1 seed, Chiefs become the No. - If BUF and KC both lose AND BAL wins/ties: Chiefs get the No. - If BUF and KC both win/tie: Chiefs get the No. As the league is set to decide on Friday, the potential for a neutral site AFC Championship game is high. They needed a win against the Bengals to have their best chance at clinching a bye and the No. The task, in terms of straightforwardness, is simple for New England: win, and you're in. With a victory and an Eagles loss, the Cowboys get the NFC title, but not the top spot. The Seahawks 48-45 win over Detroit back in Week 4 is going to be the reason they're through and it's why they have this advantage. On their third quarterback in Brock Purdy, the Niners have gotten to this spot thanks to a strong defense. In addition to Dallas, the Eagles need to fend off a strong effort from the San Francisco 49ers to keep that top spot theirs.

Jags return fumble for TD and beat Titans for AFC South title · Chiefs roll to 31-13 win over Raiders to clinch top seed in AFC · Mahomes breaks NFL single-season ...

Jarrett Stidham started his second game in a row in place of the sidelined Derek Carr, and this performance didn’t go nearly as well as the first one. He rushed for 45 yards and could possibly win the NFL rushing title with 1,653 yards. The Raiders (6-11) ended their first season under coach Josh McDaniels with three consecutive losses and four defeats in five games. But, obviously, with the situation that happened Monday night with Damar, you still have that in the back of your mind. Both teams wore black shirts in warmups that read “LOVE FOR DAMAR” with his No 3 in the middle. Because Monday night’s Buffalo-Cincinnati game was canceled, the Chiefs could wind up playing the Bills or Bengals in the AFC championship on a neutral field. We got some good things going for the playoffs, and whatever we run has to work.” But, even if it didn’t count, it underscored the Chiefs’ creativity and willingness to have fun, even while playing for playoff positioning and a week off. That surpassed the record of 5,562 yards set by Drew Brees in 2011 with the New Orleans Saints. The Chiefs then scored anyway to take full control of what became a 31-13 victory. With quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) out for the season, they leaned on Dobbs – an aerospace engineer who has bounced around the league – to be smart with the ball and Derrick Henry to grind out tough yards. The Titans rested several starters last week and essentially created a 10-day break to get healthy.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are AFC South champions for the first time in five years, a title secured when Josh Allen returned a fumble 37 yards for a ...

Derrick Henry gashed the Jags for 121 yards from 17 carries and a TD. They looked left for dead and were once 2-6 but are now a win away from the playoffs. Under pressure, Dobbs launches a dime for the TE to haul in and stun this home crowd. A reminder that if the Titans lose tonight, it's season over for them. Up to the 43. Kristian Fulton with the play to stop him. Jamal Agnew takes the kickoff back 54 yards and all the way to the 50. Wow what a drive by the Titans. Henry gets popped at the line for a loss of one. Huge bit of breathing room here for the road team. The Titans rested several starters last week and essentially created a 10-day break to get healthy. Then, they relied on a defense that´s been stout against the run all year.

They have won their last four games on the spin without conceding more than 20 points in any of them. A few weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles looked unstoppable. The Bengals have no chance of topping the AFC. His replacement Malick Willis threw only 99 yards and was turned over twice against Houston, before he was replaced in their last game by Josh Dobbs. 1 seed and a bye in the next round. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence was on fire, throwing 368 yards and three touchdowns. “I’m sure if you polled the locker room there would be mixed votes on that,” he told reporters. Things have been made worse by their situation at quarterback. But like I said, everyone has a different way of dealing with it.” This is also a game of two teams that have recovered from terrible starts (Packers were 3-6 and the Lions were 1-6) to finish the regular season in top form. The Bills will have to play their game against the Patriots (8-8) Sunday knowing that with a win and a Chiefs loss they could still clinch that top spot in the AFC thanks to a higher win percentage. The canceled game leaves the Bills (12-3) – a win behind the Chiefs (13-3) in the hunt for the No.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has expressed his thanks in his first Instagram post since suffering a cardiac arrest five days ago.

Ahead of a round of Saturday night fixtures in the league, the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders held a moment of support with applause and cheers around the Allegiant Stadium for Hamlin. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed on Friday that the fixture has been cancelled completely following talks with the Bills, Bengals and the NFL Players Association. After receiving medical attention on the field on Monday night, Hamlin was taken into hospital and the game was subsequently suspended.

Denny Kellington performed CPR on stricken Bills safety who collapsed after making a tackle against Cincinnati last week.

The Bills on Friday had issued a statement announcing that Hamlin was progressing “remarkably” and was talking to his doctors and his family. “Keep praying for me!” Kellington on Saturday directed a request for comment from the Guardian to a Bills spokesperson. is nothing short of amazing,” McDermott told reporters at a news conference about Kellington and his colleagues on the Bills medical staff.

This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me! The Chiefs then drove 98 yards for a touchdown to increase their lead to 21-3 and all but seal the outcome. If the Bills lose Sunday to the Patriots, their prospective meeting with the Chiefs in the AFC championship game would be played in Kansas City. Players on the field in Vegas joined the fans in the pregame ovation, prompted by an announcement within the stadium. Fans in Las Vegas cheered for Hamlin during a pregame show of support for the Buffalo Bills safety and his family. But by week’s end, there were highly encouraging signs in Hamlin’s recovery, and those in and around the sport were feeling a sense of relief.

It's actually a pointless victory for the Texans, who just blew away their chance to get the first overall pick. This time, Jones throws the jump ball and Parker grabs it! Jakobi Meyers capped the nine-play, 74-yard march with a stunning 2-yard TD reception, tapping his toes just inside the end line for his third score in as many games.

NFL teams competed Saturday for the first time since Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed and went into cardiac arrest.

Doctors had to resuscitate Hamlin on the field and he was lifted off the ground in a stretcher after being worked on for 15 minutes. The foundation raised money and bought toys for children impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and his foundation distributed the toys at a local daycare center in December 2020. The NFL Players Association named Hamlin its Week 18 Community MVP following the millions of dollars that have been donated to his foundation’s GoFundMe page this week. The response on the field was immediate, as Bills medical personnel rushed to his aid and stabilized his head and neck. There was no comment when asked about Hamlin’s long-term prognosis and the doctors said it’s “entirely too early” to have a conversation about whether or not Hamlin can play professional football again. After Hamlin collapsed, he received one defibrillation and one round of CPR on the field. He didn’t receive a second in the ambulance or at the hospital. “Going into this game, this being the first game played since that incident, it was heavy on my heart,” Jones said. He was unable to speak while still using a breathing tube. Guys were able to go out there and enjoy it and have fun again.” But obviously, with the situation that happened on Monday night with Damar, you still have that in the back of your mind, not him going down but you just want to be there for him. “It’s a game that you love and that you’ve played your entire life and you’ve had so many great moments.

NFL teams continued to show an outpouring of support for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin as the league resumed play on Saturday.

Hamlin got back to his feet and momentarily stood in place before falling to the field. "Throughout this week the entire NFL family has been praying for Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills as he continues his recovery. The 24-year-old Hamlin collapsed on the field after a collision with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter of Monday's game. "The Jacksonville Jaguars ask you to join us now in a moment of support and love for Damar, and cheer for him and his family as they continue their fight," the public address announcer said. "At this time, the Raiders ask everyone to join us in a moment of support and love for Damar, and cheer for him and his family as they continue their fight." During warmups on the field before the game, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes wore a Chiefs hoodie with the word "Damar" surrounded by a heart on the front and an image of Hamlin on the back, along with the slogan "Hamlin Strong."

The Bills are set to wrap up their regular season campaign against the Patriots this week, with their AFC East rivals needing to win to clinch a spot in the postseason. Buffalo can clinch the first seed in the AFC with a win over the New England Patriots. The 24-year-old fell after making a tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins and had to be revived on the field before he was rushed to the University of Cincinnati hospital.

The video will be played at each and every stadium as a showcase of solidarity with Hamlin, while the NFL also allowed teams to outline the ’3’ at each 30-yard line marker in the Bills’ iconic blue or red colours. Hamlin was set to earn $825,000 as his base rate in 2022, but his split rate on IR is $455,000. “That has certainly been a release on the pressure valve a little bit to allow more football to get into the channel, the pipeline,” McDermott said. However, Buffalo found an agreement with the NFL and NFL Players Association to pay him the full rate of his four-year, $3.64 million deal. Physicians at UCMC revealed Hamlin awoke on Thursday morning while he spoke to his family, care team and Buffalo teammates on FaceTime on Friday. During the Bills’ crucial regular season contest against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday, Hamlin collapsed to the turf midway through the first quarter after he tackled receiver Tee Higgins.

The top of the 2023 NFL Draft order is set, with the Bears securing the first overall pick on the final day of the 2022 NFL regular season.

It's fair to say that the Cincinnati Bengals haven't been too impressed with the NFL's potential 'coin flip' suggestions, and Joe Mixon has mocked the ...

It looks like their frustrations won't continue though, as the Bengals raced into a huge lead over the Ravens early on. But the Bengals felt as though they had been hard done by, after a permutation was announced that could see them lose home advantage via a coin flip. But because Baltimore will have then beaten Cincinnati twice this season, and the two teams will have played an unequal number of games, the approved resolution calls for the site of the game to be determined by a coin flip." Hamlin has thankfully responded well in hospital, but after the NFL confirmed the game would be called a no contest, they've had a lot to figure out in terms of playoff seeding. Mixon has a real coin tucked into his sock, and brought it out when scoring to do a coin flip in the endzone. It's been anything but a normal week in the NFL, as Monday's harrowing events have sent everyone into shock.

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.

The NFL regular season has come to an end for the 23rd time for Tom Brady, but at the age of 45 he's suffered a career first, and it's not one he will be ...

Brady won't want to bow out after a disappointing run, but with certain records coming to an end this season, he may quit while he's ahead. But now Brady has another unwanted first, as Sunday's result meant that for the first time in his 23-year career he ended the regular season with a negative record. Brady called time on his career at the end of last season, but quickly reversed his decision. The newly single 45-year-old has been tipped to finally retire after this season, but there's no reason to suggest why he wouldn't carry on - whether that be with the Buccaneers or not. Brady has already surrendered a few records this season, including an impressive stat he held when heading into the final two minutes of games in the NFL. The Buccaneers join an exclusive list of NFL teams to make the post-season despite holding a negative record, and Sunday's 30-17 defeat to Atlanta Falcons meant they finished the regular campaign at 8-9.
