The playoff-bound Bolts took a four-game winning streak into the Mile High City looking to complete a sweep of the disappointing Broncos. Third-year quarterback Justin Herbert connected on 25-of-37 throws for 273 yards and two scores before giving way to backup Chase Daniel, who threw for one score.

Veteran wideout Keenan Allen caught a touchdown pass from each signal-caller. The Chargers’ defense gave up a whopping 205 yards rushing

The talented Cowboys looked to head into the playoffs with some momentum as they closed the regular season at Washington. Mike McCarthy’s team managed only six points and a disappointing 182 yards of total offense on 66 plays.

Dallas was a dismal 4-of-18 on third down and 1-of-3 on fourth-down conversion attempts. Dak Prescott hit on only 14-of-37 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown but had a second-quarter interception returned for a TD.

Kevin O’Connell’s club looked to rebound from an ugly loss at Lambeau Field by completing a season sweep of the rival Bears. The Vikings rolled up 482 total yards against Chicago’s inept defense and did it despite two turnovers. Kirk Cousins hit on 17-of-20 throws for 225 yards and a first-quarter scoring toss to wide receiver Adam Thielen.

Despite an impressive 13-4 record, the Vikings gave up more points (424) than they scored (427) this season.
