C.J. Stroud threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and Ka'imi Fairbairn's 43-yard field goal with 12 seconds left lifted the Houston Texans to a 38-30 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, extending Houston's winning streak to nine games and securing the No.5 seed in the AFC playoffs. The Texans clinched a third consecutive postseason berth despite resting key starters in the second half,
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka announced on Instagram on Friday that he is engaged. "Everything we prayed for and more" reads the caption of the post, which was shared jointly on Egbuka's and fiancée Laney Matriano's respective accounts, followed by the Bible verse Mark 10:9. Egbuka will finish his first NFL regular season today against the Carolina Panthers, with the rookie out of Ohio State having posted 62 catches for 930 yards and 6 touchdowns in his debut campaign so far.
Zach Charbonnet ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns, and the Seattle Seahawks turned two third-quarter Carolina turnovers into TDs to beat the Panthers 27-10 on Sunday and close in on the No 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. Sam Darnold threw an interception in the end zone but finished 18 of 27 for 147 yards with a touchdown for the Seahawks, who can wrap up the NFC West title and the top seed if the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams both lose or tie. Jaxson Smith-Njigba added nine catches for 72 yards as Seattle (13-3) won their sixth straight.

The result could have lasting implications for postseason seeding - and perhaps even the MVP race.

"Chris is not in play to practice, so I'm sure he won't be back," Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Monday, adding that the same is true for Irving.
Warner's right ankle got trapped under safety Ji'Ayir Brown, who was tackling Rachaad White on a 10-yard run near midfield. Warner had fought off a Tristan Wirfs block and turned to join the tackle when his ankle became collateral damage. It was no coincidence White broke through the right side of the 49ers' front.
