The Denver Broncos found themselves in the losing column this past week, falling to the red-hot Jacksonville Jaguars 34-20 in a dysfunctional and disheartening effort. Denver is 12-3 and still holds the first seed, but must win out for the best chance to keep the No. 1 playoff seed and lock up the AFC West.

After beating the Green Bay Packers in dramatic fashion Saturday night to up the Bears' record to 11-4 and take a firm grasp of the NFC North, Williams was the talk of the league.

Even more encouraging, Jeanty broke 11 tackles last week, according to Pro Football Focus, which was three more than any other running back in the league. He also ranked second with 106 rushing yards after contact, three yards behind Saquon Barkley and 31 yards more than anyone else. Not a bad day for the rookie!

The Carolina Panthers still face an uphill battle to get to the playoffs. They either need to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road in Week 18, or they need to beat the Seattle Seahawks at home and have the Miami Dolphins, led by Quinn Ewers, win at home vs. the Bucs.
