The MAIN_KEYWORD: NFL results today delivered everything: live swings, clutch drives, and superstar quarterbacks putting up video-game numbers while defenses tried just to hang on. If you blinked, you missed a lead change.
Mahomes vs. Lamar: Prime-Time Classic
This one felt like January in early February. The Kansas City Chiefs slipped past the Baltimore Ravens in a thriller, 30-27, capped by a walk-off 41-yard field goal after Patrick Mahomes engineered yet another signature two-minute drill.
Mahomes was in full wizard mode: 28-of-39, 331 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, 1 interception. He spread it around, but his go-to weapon was once again Travis Kelce, who went for 8 catches, 104 yards, and a TD, bullying linebackers and safeties on option routes all night. The key sequence: a 4th-and-5 just inside midfield, Mahomes breaking the pocket, pump-faking a linebacker into another zip code, and zipping a 17-yard dart to Kelce to keep the game-winning drive alive.
On the other sideline, Lamar Jackson absolutely matched the energy. He posted 286 passing yards, 2 passing TDs, 1 INT, plus 87 rushing yards and a rushing score. Lamar turned what should’ve been sacks into highlight-reel scrambles, including a ridiculous 3rd-and-12 where he spun away from Chris Jones, reversed field, and dove past the sticks. His 38-yard TD strike to Zay Flowers on a go-ball late in the third quarter looked like the knockout punch at the time.
But the moment everyone’s arguing about came in the final two minutes. On 3rd-and-long, trailing by four, Mahomes heaved one deep to Rashee Rice. The ball sailed a bit long, but a flag came in for defensive pass interference on what Ravens fans are calling barely a grab. That call flipped field position, set up the Chiefs in easy scoring range, and let them bleed the clock before the winning kick. That’s the hot topic: was that PI or just late-game ticky-tack officiating in a huge spot?
Other NFL scores live: QBs lighting it up
Around the league, the NFL scores live board looked like an air raid drill. In the early window, Josh Allen and the Bills absolutely torched their opponent, rolling to a 34-20 win behind another stat-sheet stuffing performance. Allen went for 297 passing yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT, plus a bruising rushing TD where he trucked a linebacker at the goal line. Stefon Diggs added 9 receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown, reminding everyone why he’s still one of the league’s cleanest route runners.
Meanwhile, Joe Burrow and the Bengals kept their season alive in a gritty 23-19 win. Burrow wasn’t just a stat machine; he was surgical in the clutch: 25-of-35, 264 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT, including a cold-blooded 4th-and-goal slant to Ja’Marr Chase with under two minutes left. Chase posted 8 catches, 98 yards, 1 TD, and drew double coverage that opened up the rest of the field all day.
And if you’re a fan of pure highlight chaos, Justin Jefferson delivered. In a high-scoring shootout, he stacked up 10 catches, 144 yards, and 2 touchdowns, including a toe-tap sideline grab that’s already cycling through the touchdown highlights packages. It was one of those days where the league’s elite skill guys reminded everyone why they’re must-watch TV.
How today reshapes the playoff picture
This slate didn’t just give us flashy numbers; it shook the whole NFL standings and the playoff picture. The Chiefs’ win over the Ravens keeps Kansas City firmly in the hunt for the AFC’s top seed, while Baltimore slides just enough to feel the pressure from teams like Buffalo and Cincinnati breathing down their necks.
The Bills’ victory tightens the wild-card race and keeps them very much alive in the division, while the Bengals’ gritty win prevents them from slipping out of contention. Every one of these results nudged seeding, tiebreakers, and who might have to travel in January instead of hosting.

Quarterback stats: who owned the day?
If you’re box score hunting, today was a QB clinic. Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, and Burrow all showed why they’re at the center of every quarterback stats conversation.
- Patrick Mahomes (KC): 331 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT – MVP-level stuff when it mattered most.
- Lamar Jackson (BAL): 286 pass yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, plus 87 rush yards and 1 rush TD – a dual-threat nightmare.
- Josh Allen (BUF): 297 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 1 rush TD – the full chaos package, in a good way.
- Joe Burrow (CIN): 264 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT – ice-cold execution on money downs.
From an efficiency and moment standpoint, Mahomes and Burrow felt the most in control, but Lamar’s raw impact and Allen’s explosive plays are exactly the kind of performances that tilt the Super Bowl news narrative and MVP chatter heading into the stretch run.

Beat writer take: This felt like a playoff preview
From the sideline vibe and the way every snap felt like a pivot point, Chiefs–Ravens didn’t feel like a regular-season game. It felt like a layered chess match between two teams that absolutely expect to see each other again with a Super Bowl trip on the line.
The hot take right now: Kansas City’s offense finally looks like it’s found that extra gear again. If Kelce is moving like this, the young receivers are in sync, and Mahomes is this locked in on 3rd and 4th down, this team is absolutely Super Bowl bound. On the flip side, if you’re Baltimore, you walk away knowing Lamar can hang blow-for-blow with anybody, but you can’t be spotting Mahomes extra possessions with penalties and stalled red-zone trips.
Zooming out, the day’s NFL results today make the AFC feel like a four-QB arms race: Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, Burrow. Every week is basically a mini elimination game for seeding, home-field, and that precious first-round bye. One tipped ball, one borderline flag, one missed kick – that might be the difference between hosting a conference championship and playing road warrior in January.
Closing whistle
If you love offense, clutch drives, and a little officiating controversy to spice up the takes, today was your perfect NFL Sunday. From touchdown highlights to shifting tiebreakers, we just watched the playoff board get scrambled in real time, and the arguments about that KC–BAL finish are just getting started.
