Christmas was decked out with activity from the week 16 from NFL with great meetings where some teams continue their way to playoffs and others gave surprises.
The actions started with the enormous victory of the Jacksonville Jaguars (7-8) 19-3 over the New York Jets (7-8), after scoring 19 unanswered points orchestrated by another great afternoon by young quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who finished off from 20-31 with 229 yards in the air and a touchdown on the ground.
With this victory, the Jaguars took first place in the AFC SOUTH, which was given by the combination of the surprise victory of the Houston Texans (2-12-1) 19-14 over the Tennessee Titans (7-8) with the pass of Davis Mills’ 6-yard score to Brandin Cooks with 2:52 left in the game.
