Historic Daniels performance snaps Eagles streak, Bills survive slugfest and Falcons rookie shines: NFL Week 16 Sunday wrap
Christmas may be right around the corner, but the big names of the NFL were working harder than ever to give their teams the best chance of making the playoffs.
One star put in a performance worthy of the top of the tree, one high-flying team almost gifted a win to another less fortunate, and one newcomer provided his team a fresh start ahead of the new year.
Here’s everything you need to know from Sunday’s NFL games in Week 16.
Jayden Daniels snaps Eagles’ winning run
With 1:58 remaining, the Philadelphia Eagles were set to clinch the NFC East divisional title with an 11th straight win, despite losing Jalen Hurts to a concussion early in the first quarter.
Then Jayden Daniels happened.
The superstar rookie orchestrated a 57-yard, game-winning drive, culminating in his fifth touchdown pass of the game with six seconds remaining, to complete the Washington Commanders’ 36-33 comeback win over their division rivals.

Jayden Daniels snaps Eagles’ winning run
With 1:58 remaining, the Philadelphia Eagles were set to clinch the NFC East divisional title with an 11th straight win, despite losing Jalen Hurts to a concussion early in the first quarter.
Then Jayden Daniels happened.
The superstar rookie orchestrated a 57-yard, game-winning drive, culminating in his fifth touchdown pass of the game with six seconds remaining, to complete the Washington Commanders’ 36-33 comeback win over their division rivals.
“You gotta go out there, you gotta put up a fight,” Daniels told a press conference after the game. “The game’s never done ‘til the clock hits zero.
“I love those type of situations when it’s on thin ice and plays need to be made. That’s what you live for if you really love this sport. You live for those big time-moments where it comes down to the end.”
Daniels threw 24-of-39 for 258 yards and was also the Commanders’ leading rusher with 81 yards on nine carries. According to the Associated Press, he is the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for five or more touchdowns and rush for 65 or more yards in one game.
It was a different story for Philadelphia’s signal caller. With the Eagles 7-0 up, Hurts left the game early after his head bounced off the ground on one run and he was hit in the helmet by Frankie Luvu shortly after.
After two trips to the medical tent, he was ruled out with a concussion. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni had no update on his condition after the game.
“I haven’t talked to our medical staff yet,” he told a press conference. “Anything that has anything to do with the head is out of our hands there.”
