Denver 27, Detroit 17
Drew Lock threw a shovel pass to DaeSean Hamilton to give Denver the lead in the fourth quarter, Phillip Lindsay sealed the game with a late touchdown run and the Broncos extended the Lions’ skid to eight straight with a 27-17 win.

His only loss was last weekend in Kansas City when the field was covered in snow. The Lions managed just 213 yards in total offense as they fell to 3-11-1.
Kansas City 26, Chicago 3
Patrick Mahomes threw for two touchdowns and ran for another score, and the AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs beat the Bears 26-3 to stay in contention for a first-round playoff bye. Kansas City earned its fifth straight win and remained a game behind New England for the AFC’s second seed. Mahomes, playing his 30th game, became the fastest player to reach the 9,000-yard passing mark. The Bears rushed for 101 yards, but Mitchell Trubisky threw for just 157 yards. Chicago falls to 7-8 on the season.
