The Chiefs haven’t been able to repeat their offensive success of the first half, but their lead has still grown in the fourth quarter. Cairo Santos hit a 27-yard field goal with just under 12 minutes left in the game to extend Kansas City’s lead to 24-10 over the Broncos. It’s the first time the…

NBA's bet on Westbrook, though not Minnesota, paid off

Broncos coach Gary Kubiak had to break up an argument in the team’s locker room after last week’s loss to the Patriots because cornerback Aqib Talib took issue with left tackle Russell Okung addressing the team following a poor offensive performance. The Broncos offense hasn’t been great on Sunday night, but members of that unit…

Richard Jefferson guarded Durant to ice Cleveland's win

The Chiefs haven’t been known as the most explosive offense over the course of the season, but the Christmas spirit seems to be bringing out the best in them on Sunday night. They lead 21-7 after tight end Travis Kelce took a short pass from Alex Smith and broke it for an 80-yard touchdown with…

The Chiefs booked a trip to the postseason before the opening kickoff on Sunday night, but they don’t look content to settle for a Wild Card spot. Kansas City rolled down the field on their first offensive possession against the Broncos and took a 7-0 lead on a 10-yard touchdown run by quarterback Alex Smith.…

LaMarcus Aldridge scores 33

Antonio Brown smartly reached the ball out and across the goal line with nine seconds left Sunday as the Steelers rallied — and re-rallied — to beat the Ravens, 31-27. Three Ravens were trying to bring Brown down short of the goal line, and he reached it across before they did. Officially, it goes as…

Somehow, Antonio Brown slipped through the cracks, sliding all the way to round six in the 2010 draft. He has gone on to become on the best receivers in the NFL, and on Christmas night he made his case for the title of the very best in the league. With the season on the line…

It’s essentially the first playoff game of the year, and it’s a great one. After the Steelers erased a 20-10 deficit by taking a 24-20 lead, the Ravens rolled down the field to re-take a three-point lead. The Ravens went 75 yards in 14 plays to go ahead again, with a stirring 10-yard run from…

A report on Saturday pegged Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston as unlikely to play on Sunday night after he missed practice all week because of swelling in his knee. As a result of that report it’s no great surprise to learn that Houston headlines the list of inactive Chiefs for their game against the Broncos. It’s…

Down by 10 early in the fourth quarter, the Steelers now lead the Ravens, 24-20, with a little over seven minutes left. It’s going to be a wild finish in Heinz Field, which over the last few drives has gone from quiet to very loud. Le’Veon Bell has scored both Steelers touchdowns in the quarter,…

It’s awfully quiet in Heinz Field. Ben Roethlisberger threw a pair of interceptions to Ravens linebackers in the third quarter, and the Ravens turned both into points. Zachary Orr intercepted Roethlisberger on the first play of the third quarter, and C.J. Mosley intercepted him in the final minute of the quarter. Both set up the…

Kyrie Irving comes up clutch. Again.

An interception by Ravens linebacker Zachary Orr on the first play of the second half set the Ravens up at the Steelers’ 20-yard line. Three plays later, Joe Flacco looked off a safety and threw a beautiful pass to Steve Smith Sr. for a touchdown. After Flacco and Smith hooked up again for the two-point…

The defenses dominated the first half of Sunday’s Ravens-Steelers game. The Steelers hold a 7-6 halftime lead on the Ravens, who have two field goals from Justin Tucker and have squandered at least a couple scoring opportunities. The Ravens were in Pittsburgh territory all five times they had the ball. The Ravens botched the snap…

Klay Thompson couldn't prevent Cleveland's 109-108 win

Steelers safety Mike Mitchell was removed from Sunday’s game in the first quarter due to a back injury. Robert Golden replaced Mitchell in the base defense. Mitchell came back in briefly on the following series but then left the game again. Mitchell is having maybe his best season and has been a big part of…

Since Christmas falls on a Sunday, the Christmas work holiday falls on Monday. But it’s not a holiday for PFT, or for PFT Live. The radio show will be on for its usual three hours, beginning at 6:00 a.m. ET on NBCSportsRadio.com. Joining me in hour three will be Washington receiver Pierre Garçon, whose team is…

Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers started sharply on Sunday against the Ravens. The Steelers drove 87 yards in nine plays on their opening drive and scored first on a 20-yard Roethlisberger pass to tight end Xavier Grimble. Le’Veon Bell ran six times for 39 yards on the drive. The Ravens came back and moved into…
