Here we review the most notable of the Sunday evening games:

The Bills finally clinched their playoff spot after hitting a season bump in which they lost a chance to fight for the AFC’s No. 1 seed. Josh Allen had a terrible day with three interceptions, but Devin Singletary rescued him with two touchdown carries and the defense limited Atlanta to 15 points to save the victory.

Again it became clear that the Giants are one of the worst teams in the NFL right now and that they have to make a lot of changes in the offseason if they want to be competitive again in the future. For the Bears, it’s always nice to beat up the fans at home, but they’re also heading into an uncertain offseason.

The Chiefs defense did the job we had gotten used to in recent weeks by stopping the Bengals on goal line in the last minute, it also reminded us of their mistakes earlier in the season with a penalty that gave Cincinnati a chance to kicking the winning field goal that also marked the AFC North title. Now Kansas City has also complicated the possibility of finishing as the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

The Dolphins’ rise only helped make their fall more painful. The seven-game winning streak hit the wall against the Titans, the first playoff-caliber team they faced in that span and the result was a 34-3 beating that showed Miami’s offensive deficiencies, starting with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Terrible day for the Colts. The Titans have already clinched the AFC South title and the loss complicates their chances of advancing to the playoffs against an opponent fighting directly for a wild-card berth. Having quarterback Carson Wentz active did not have the expected result.

There’s not much to take away from this beating, other than rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence again threw a touchdown pass (for three interceptions). Mac Jones, meanwhile, broke out with three touchdowns and Rhamondre Stevenson added two touchdowns in the second half to shape the beating.

The comeback victory in the last quarter thanks to another great performance by Tom Brady will be forgotten, the main story not only of the game, but of the day, was the abrupt departure of Antonio Brown in the middle of the game, stripping off his equipment to go on course to the locker room while his teammates continued fighting on the field. Head coach Bruce Arians announced at the end of the game that Brown is no longer part of the squad.

Philadelphia came from behind in the second half, rebounding from a 16-7 deficit for a major win that adds them to the roster of teams qualified for the playoffs, killing Washington’s hopes in the process.

The Rams took an important step toward anchoring their division by beating the Ravens on the road, but had to stop one last comeback attempt by Baltimore thanks to a Von Miller sack of Tyler Huntley. The Rams’ decisive touchdown was scored by Odell Beckham Jr., so the pieces acquired during the season by Los Angeles are beginning to pay off on the field.
