Los Angeles Rams. 12. team. 51. . 10-6. Previous:
The battered Rams gave quarterback John Wolford the start in place of injured Jared Goff as they hosted the Cardinals, with both teams in search of a playoff invitation. Los Angeles’ defense limited Arizona to only 214 total yards and a first-quarter touchdown. The Rams turned over the ball twice, including one interception by Wolford. But Troy Hill offset that by returning a Cardinals’ interception 84 yards for a TD and the Rams are playoff-bound.
Previous: . Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 11. team. 48. . 11-5
The team is playoff bound for the first time since 2007 and on Sunday looked to complete a sweep of the rival Falcons for the first time since 2015. Veteran Tom Brady did throw one interception but he more than offset that with 399 yards through the air. He found both Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown twice for touchdowns and the wideouts finished with 133 and 138 receiving yards, respectively. Bruce Arians’ club secured the NFC’s No. 5 seed.
46. . 11-5. Previous: . Indianapolis Colts. 10. team
The Colts’ season began with a loss of Jacksonville and they hosted the Jaguars hoping not only to win but get some help in terms of vying for a playoff spot. Rookie running back Jonathan Taylor continued his recent hot streak, totaling 30 carries for 253 yards and two scores. Matt Eberflus’ defensive unit totaled six sacks of Mike Glennon and allowed only 283 total yards. And Miami’s loss earlier in the day was exactly what the doctor ordered.
