Week 14 features a packed afternoon slate with two huge divisional matchups headlining. In the early afternoon window, it’s the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens in a fight for first place in the AFC North. In the late afternoon portion of the day, the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears travel to Green Bay in another first-place showdown.
In the first of two matchups over the final five weeks of the season, Pittsburgh and Baltimore come into this one tied at 6-6 atop the AFC North. The Ravens have turned their season around, going 4-1 since Lamar Jackson returned in Week 9. Pittsburgh has gone the opposite direction since starting 4-1 and has lost five of its last seven games.

Aaron Rodgers missed a game due to a fractured left wrist, and the Steelers’ offense has been up and down over the past month. The loser of this one will need a miracle run to make the postseason.

The Cleveland Browns took a 17-14 lead over the visiting Tennessee Titans thanks to a big-time play from Shedeur Sanders to WR Jerry Jeudy, connecting for a 60-yard touchdown on a nice deep ball with plenty of yards after the catch.
That marks the fifth career touchdown of 60-plus receiving yards for Jeudy and a career-long for Sanders, who made his third career start on Sunday. Sanders threw for 358 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception in his first two starts.

Buffalo fans were not happy with the Bills as they opted to walk off into halftime with 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Buffalo trails Cincinnati 21-11 at halftime.

Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane is questionable to return to the game with a rib injury. Backup Jaylen Wright will pick up much of the slack if Achane cannot return to the game. Wright already has a 7-yard touchdown run in the game. The Dolphins also have Ollie Gordon II as another backup running back.

The Baltimore Ravens almost held the Pittsburgh Steelers to a field goal… that is, until they caught an unnecessary roughness penalty on the kick attempt, awarding Pittsburgh a fresh set of downs and an opportunity for a touchdown.
RB Kenneth Gainwell took advantage of the opportunity, scoring a touchdown from six yards out for his fourth rushing touchdown of the year.
Pittsburgh now holds an 18-3 lead over Baltimore on the road at M&T Bank Stadium.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow finds running back Chase Brown for the touchdown. Bengals lead the Bills 21-11 at the two-minute warning.

Lamar Jackson threw his fourth interception in as many games in Week 14, but this one was special.
Why, you ask?
It was caught by his cousin, Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback James Pierre.

The Cleveland Browns got on the board with a touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders to tight end David Njoku …
… but then got some bad news, as Njoku was deemed questionable to return to Sunday’s matchup with a knee injury. WR Malachi Corley was also ruled out with a concussion.

Bengals wideout Tee Higgins headed to the medical tent following a tough catch (that was incomplete) on the sideline, in which he came down hard on his back.

Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has promptly been ruled out with an Achilles injury in Week 14, meaning it’s rookie Riley Leonard the rest of the way.
Leonard was a sixth-round selection out of Notre Dame, throwing for 2,861 yards, 21 touchdowns and 8 interceptions in his final season with the Irish after spending the three years of his collegiate career at Duke. Leonard added another 906 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground.
It’s brutal news for Jones, amidst a potential Comeback Player of the Year campaign in his first year with the Indianapolis Colts. His 19 passing touchdowns marked the second most of his career since his rookie season with the New York Giants.
Jones entered this game with a career-high 67.9% completion rate and 11.9 yards per completion average. Jones entered the week leading the league in successful pass rate, per Pro Football Reference.
The Colts and Jaguars are fighting for sole possession of first place in the AFC South with a win in Week 14.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen makes something out of nothing, finding wide receiver Khalil Shakir on this 11-yard touchdown pass. Cincy converted for two points and pulled to within a field goal of the Bengals. Cincinnati leads 14-11 in the second quarter.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is down with what appears to be a right lower-leg injury.
Jones was able to stand up initially after the play but was unable to make his way off the field without assistance, slamming his helmet into the field several times before making his way off with trainers. He is now in the blue medical tent.
He’ll be replaced with Riley Leonard, as former first-round pick Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve after suffering an orbital fracture in pre-game warmups in a fluke accident back in Week 6.

Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane scored his 11th total touchdown (7th rushing) of the year on this 13-yard run to the end zone.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright takes it in from 2 yards out for the easy touchdown. Running back De’Von Achane also has a rushing touchdown. Dolphins lead the Jets 21-0 late in the first quarter.

Jakobi Meyers continues to prove himself worthy of Jacksonville’s mid-season trade to acquire him.
He’s now had four consecutive games with 50-plus yards or a touchdown, with at least 41 receiving yards in each of his four games with the Jaguars leading up to Week 14.
After punting on the opening drive, Jacksonville has now scored on back-to-back drives, with Trevor Lawrence having gone 7-of-9 for 107 passing yards and a touchdown. Second-year WR Brian Thomas Jr. leads the team with 57 receiving yards in his second game returning from injury after missing several games with an ankle injury.
