Read how Sunday’s Gameweek 16 games went in the US here.
Arizona Cardinals — Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16:19
Welcome back! Tom Brady is playing at Glendale Stadium for the third time in his career — albeit his first against the Cardinals! The other two games were Super Bowls (won once, lost once).
Which: Brady has been in the league for 23 years and is playing for the first time at Christmas.
With four converted field goals, it’s 6:6 at the break. At Christmas, the fans would have also wished for touchdown gifts…
However, little happens until the fourth quarter. Also because Brady is not having a good day. His long passes don’t find the target.
10 minutes and 58 seconds before the end, finally the first touchdown! By James Conner for the Cardinals. With kick 16:6. The preliminary decision! No!
The Bucs strike back! Brady pass to Rachaad White. touchdown! It remains exciting!
Strange! Brady and his Bucs often get underwhelmed in the game this season, but then suddenly rev up in the last few minutes. With a field goal by Ryan Succop, the score is suddenly 16:16 with 2:27 minutes to go.
OVERTIME! There, Ryan Succop blasts the egg through the bars with a field goal from 40 yards — and thus preserves the playoff chances of Brady and the Buccaneers!
Miami Dolphins — Green Bay Packers 20:26
The Packers celebrate their third straight win and maintain their playoff chances — while the Dolphins lose for a fourth straight game and are now under pressure to make it into the postseason.
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa throws three interceptions in the fourth quarter. Packers playmaker Aaron Rodgers fires for 238 yards and a touchdown.
crazy scene: Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard blocks three Dolphins defenders at once with a block in attack. Then he stands cool — and counts to three with his fingers on the opponents lying on the ground. One two Three!
Los Angeles Rams — Denver Broncos 51:14
The Super Bowl champion’s second win since mid-October.
Rams signing Baker Mayfield shines again as a playmaker, slamming two touchdown passes to Tyler Higbee. Cam Akers scored three touchdowns.
Rookie Cobie Durant runs an 85-yard interception for a touchdown.
Zoff after the game: Randy Gregory (Broncos) and Oday Aboushi (Rams) fight!
