The 2022 NFL regular season came to a close Sunday with a jam-packed Week 18 slate — and you can check out the full playoff picture here.
Here are the top plays from Sunday’s games!
FINAL: Detroit Lions 20, Green Bay Packers 16
Early FGs
On the opening possession of the game, Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs was called for a 46-yard pass interference on Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard, putting the ball at the Detroit 5-yard line. The Lions kept the Packers out of the end zone, though, forcing a field goal.
Detroit went three-and-out on its first possession, and Green Bay appeared to do the same on its next possession before failing to convert a fourth-and-1 from its own 32-yard line. However, the Lions were unable to get a touchdown off the short field, settling for a field goal.
Half of field goals
Green Bay got a field goal on each of its next two possessions, followed by Detroit missing a field goal. Then the Lions forced and recovered a fumble from Packers running back Aaron Jones, which they later turned into a field goal.
Green Bay led 9-6 at halftime.
Lead change
Packers kicker Mason Crosby missed a 53-yard field goal off the crossbar in the third quarter, and the Lions quickly capitalized on the miss.
On the second play of the ensuing drive, quarterback Jared Goff connected with wide receiver Kalif Raymond on a 43-yard completion, setting up a 1-yard touchdown run from Jamaal Williams. Detroit took a 13-9 lead.
Packers respond
Wide receiver Christian Watson reeled in a remarkable 45-yard catch on the Packers’ next drive. Two plays after the Watson grab, Aaron Rodgers hit Lazard for a 13-yard touchdown.
Lions retake lead
Detroit punted on its next possession, and Green Bay did the same. Then the Lions got the lead back.
A 13-play drive — assisted by a personal foul on Packers linebacker Quay Walker for pushing a member of the Lions staff — ended with Williams running in his second score.
Lions put it away
On the ensuing possession, Rodgers was intercepted by Lions safety Kerby Joseph, who ran the pick back to the Green Bay 45-yard line.
Detroit then ran out the clock, thanks to an unreal leg catch from wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and a dramatic 14-yard run from D’Andre Swift. The Lions converted a fourth-and-1 from the Green Bay 15-yard line, as Goff hit wide receiver DJ Chark to seal the victory.
Seattle Seahawks 19, Los Angeles Rams 16 (OT)
Setting the tone early
The Rams‘ defense came out swinging in this one, picking off Geno Smith‘s first pass on the Seahawks‘ own side of the field.
Rams roar
The Rams came up with the first touchdown of the game, thanks to the fancy footwork of Tutu Atwell ahead of halftime. The score was set up by a clutch drive from Baker Mayfield, which included this 35-yard dart to Van Jefferson.
Dropping dimes
Seattle got a much-needed boost from Tyler Lockett, who reeled in a 36-yard touchdown to tie the game early in the third quarter at 13 points apiece. Things headed to overtime, where the Seahawks narrowly picked up a 19-16 win.
Denver Broncos 31, Los Angeles Chargers 28
Making a statement
The Chargers came out strong on their opening drive, as Justin Herbert hit go-to target Keenan Allen for a 14-yard touchdown to kick off the scoring.
Then, Broncos running back Latavius Murray tied things up with a 2-yard rush on the Broncos‘ ensuing drive.
Taking charge
The Chargers took over in the second quarter, 14-7, when Herbert hit tight end Gerald Everett for a short score.
Finding a groove
The Broncos had the last word before the break, as Russell Wilson linked up with tight end Eric Tomlinson to knot things up at 17 apiece.
Bad man!
Then, Denver started the second half the same way it ended the first — by scoring. Just like that, the Broncos were up 24-17. Courtland Sutton came up with a fourth-quarter score, as the Broncos squeaked out a three-point win, 31-28.
Washington Commanders 26, Dallas Cowboys 6
