Sunday Rundown recaps the most important developments from the day’s action and examines their significance moving forward.
Early kickoffs
Of course the Steelers lost
The Steelers lost to the Browns, missing a chance to secure the AFC North, setting up a crucial Week 18 matchup against the Ravens, who could be favored if Lamar Jackson returns. In the NFC South, the division remains unpredictable as the Panthers and Bucs head for a winner-take-all game, despite the Bucs’ poor performance. The Patriots showcased dominance against the Jets, while Philip Rivers, despite limitations, provided a spark for the Colts, although they may opt for rookie Riley Leonard next week. Lastly, Malik Willis’s recent performance could boost his free agency market, while the Packers’ defense struggled against the Ravens, raising concerns ahead of the playoffs.
