10-7. Previous: . Los Angeles Chargers. 9. team. 13.

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

team. 123. . 12-5. Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 8

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.

Minnesota Vikings. 7. team. 60. . 13-4. Previous:

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.
