Running back Tyler Allgeier took off for a 31-yard touchdown, giving the Falcons a 20-7 lead. They later put three field goals on the board and won 29-10.
Seattle Seahawks 20, Tennessee Titans 17
Trick play TD alert!
Tennessee handed the ball off to Derrick Henry, and the running back threw a a 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo.
That’s fair
Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, who’s listed as 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, hurdled a defender, which later led to a field goal.
What. A. Catch!
Geno Smith was looking for Metcalf in the back of the end zone, and the receiver brought in the pass with one arm for the 11-yard Seahawks touchdown. They took a 13-10 lead.
Lead change
Tennessee answered Seattle’s touchdown drive with one of its own, as Henry powered in a 2-yard score on the ground on the 15th play of the drive.
Seahawks get it back!
On the 14th play of the ensuing drive, Smith threw it up for Colby Parkinson, and the tight end came down with a 5-yard Seahawks touchdown.
Cleveland Browns at Houston Texans
Built Ford tough
Three plays after quarterback Joe Flacco hooked up with wide receiver Amari Cooper for a 53-yard gain, Jerome Ford took a direct snap four yards into the end zone for Cleveland.
The deep connection
Flacco threw up a deep ball for Cooper, and the receiver came down with the reception and took off for a 75-yard Browns touchdown.
Texans IMMEDIATELY get it back
Dameon Pierce ran the ensuing kickoff back 98 yards for a Texans touchdown.
A DIME
Flacco hit tight end David Njoku for a 21-yard touchdown, getting the Browns back up two scores.
Yes, he caught this …
Cooper came down with an absurd, fourth down catch to move the chains for Cleveland. Later in the drive, the receiver hauled in a 7-yard touchdown. The Browns put together a 10-play touchdown drive on their next possession and led 36-7.
Washington Commanders at New York Jets
Jets capitalize
The Jets got a field goal off a Sam Howell interception and then blocked a punt, taking over at the Commanders’ 9-yard line. Three plays later, Trevor Siemian hit wide receiver Jason Brownlee for an 8-yard touchdown. New York led 10-0.
Hall Pass
Two plays after forcing another Washington punt, running back Breece Hall thundered through its defense for a 36-yard touchdown.
Merry Christmas
Jamison Crowder was putting the finishing touches on a superb punt return for the Commanders before bizarrely coughing up the ball near the sideline. Ashtyn Davis recovered the loose ball for the Jets, who got a field goal shortly after the recovery.
Life!
One play after Washington fell on a Siemian fumble, Chris Rodriguez Jr. powered in a 12-yard rushing touchdown.
Spinning and winning
New York got to the goal line, and Hall spun himself into the end zone for a 2-yard rushing score.
We got a game!
Jacoby Brissett relieved Howell — who completed just six passes and threw two interceptions — at quarterback for Washington, and it put together back-to-back touchdown possessions. The first drive — which started with a Siemian interception — saw tight end Logan Thomas reel in a 15-yard touchdown reception, and the second saw Rodriguez run in a goal-line touchdown. Washington trailed 27-21 with 9:33 remaining in the fourth quarter.
