Jaguars | Three touchdowns for Trevor Lawrence Sun Jan 4, 04:35 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence went 22-for-30 for 255 yards and three touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He also rushed for 11 yards in two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence is the hottest quarterback in the league heading into the postseason. He won a 31-30 thriller over Justin Herbert and the Chargers in the 2023 playoffs when he threw four touchdowns and four interceptions, and then lost 27-20 to Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead. It will be tempting to pick the Jaguars to go to the Super Bowl in a wide open AFC. |

Tennessee Titans WR Chimere Dike caught three passes for 27 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18. He was targeted four times during the game.
Link to story Titans | Elic Ayomanor catches three passes Sun Jan 4, 04:17 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Elic Ayomanor caught three passes for 50 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18. He was targeted 10 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Ayomanor caught a 39 yard bomb from Cam Ward on the game's opening drive, which ended with a Ward touchdown run. The quarterback suffered a shoulder injury during the play, so the passing game stalled out after that against a spirited Jaguars defense. The Titans appear to have to found two long term contributors - if not starters - at wide receiver in the fourth round this season in Ayomanor and Dike, along with a potential future starting tight end in Gunnar Helm. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders doesn't do much in finale Sun Jan 4, 04:02 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 11-of-22 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while running three times for 26 yards with one lost fumble.
| Footballguys view: The Browns scored two defensive touchdowns in the first quarter and Sanders added two second half field goal drives, including one that ended with the game-winning field goal from Andre Szmyt. Sanders played the best this season of any of the quarterbacks on the roster, but Deshaun Watson didn't play this season. Cleveland could make a move at quarterback in the first round of the draft or free agency. The Browns go into the offseason with more questions than answers on offense. |

Cleveland Browns CB Sam Webb finished with four total stops, two solo tackles and a fumble recovery for a 47-yard touchdown in the Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Browns | Myles Garrett becomes new NFL sack king Sun Jan 4, 03:56 PM
Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett had a solo tackle, a sack, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in Week 18 against the Cincinnati. He reached 23 sacks to set a new NFL single-season mark, breaking the record held by former New York Giants DE Michael Strahan and current Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt.
| Footballguys view: We throw around the term generational talent too often, but Garrett has ended up being exactly that. The Browns are at an eternal crossroads when it comes to their quarterback situation, but Garrett and the defense are good enough to make them a winner if they can just become a middle of the road offense. We'll be watching to see what they do in response to finishing 31st in scoring, after finishing 32nd in 2024. |

Link to story Titans | Cam Ward picks up TD before injury Sun Jan 4, 03:50 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward (shoulder) went 3-for-3 for 52 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18 before leaving the game because of a shoulder injury. He also rushed for 11 yards and one touchdown on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: The Titans have a vacancy at head coach, but general manager Mike Borgonzi appears to have gotten his quarterback and nailed the first big decision of his tenue. Ward came on to post his best statistical games as a passer in December even though he was playing with two fellow rookies at wide receiver. Early signs point to Ward being a quarterback who will flourish with better teammates and more experience. Titans fans should be excited. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 14-of-23 passes for 169 yards, one touchdown and no interception in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts before being lifted in the second half. as QB Davis Mills finished up.
| Footballguys view: The Texans decided to rest their starters with the game still in the balance, but Davis Mills did enough to eke out a win and secure the #5 seed. Mills actually beat the Jaguars and Bills earlier this season, showing the Texans ability to hang with two of the teams they could see later in the playoffs if they can win next week in the wild card round. |

Colts | Alec Pierce ejected after contract with ref Sun Jan 4, 03:31 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce was ejected after making contact with an official in the second half of the Week 18 game against the Houston Texans. He finished with four receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets before departing.
| Footballguys view: Pierce has had big games with all three Colts quarterbacks, driving up his price in the upcoming free agent market. He also went over 1000 yards for the season in this game. If Pierce is allowed to leave in free agency, it would leave a big hole in the Colts downfield passing game after they also dealt Adonai Mitchell to the Jets in the Sauce Gardner trade. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy out yet again in Week 18 Sun Jan 4, 03:17 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) checked out of the Week 18 game in the second half after apparently aggravating his right hand injury. McCarthy was 14-of-23 for 182 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions with two runs for seven yards before departing. QB Max Brosmer entered the game for McCarthy.
| Footballguys view: This season did not go as planned for McCarthy, but he played better against lesser defenses late in the season. We'll be watching what the Vikings do at quarterback in the offseason closely, but they'll at least be bringing in someone as credible competition to McCarthy. The team could even be in on free agent Daniel Jones. Despite all of the issues at quarterback, the Vikings finished only one-half game out of a wild card spot. |
