Overview
- Denver secured a postseason berth with an 11th straight win, and Los Angeles also clinched at 11-3 after outlasting Detroit.
- Kansas City was eliminated from playoff contention following a 16-13 loss to the Chargers and other Week 15 results.
- Trevor Lawrence delivered a first-of-its-kind stat line — five passing touchdowns, a rushing score and 50-plus rushing yards — in a 48-20 Jaguars win that moved Jacksonville to 10-4 and five straight victories, while the Texans notched a sixth consecutive win to reach 9-5.
- San Francisco’s offense stayed hot with Brock Purdy, but Brandon Aiyuk was placed on the reserve/left-team list and cannot return this season, and Ricky Pearsall’s knee issue is set for further imaging.
- Green Bay’s defense suffered a major blow with Micah Parsons leaving with a reported apparent ACL tear, casting doubt on the Packers’ late-season outlook.
