The Las Vegas Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers all made the playoffs because of overtime wins Sunday.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger put off his retirement a bit longer, guiding Pittsburgh to a 16-13 OT win over the Baltimore Ravens. That guaranteed them as playoff spot as long as the Raiders-Chargers game didn’t end in a tie.
Steeler's Watt Ties Single Season Sack Record
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ TJ Watt tied the NFL’s single-season sack record Sunday, getting one to match Michael Strahan's mark of 22.5 from 2001. Watt came close to breaking the record, bringing down Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley with Cam Heyward’s help. But Heyward was whistled for unnecessary roughness, and the half sack was erased.
Broncos Fire Head Coach
The Denver Broncos fired head coach Vic Fangio Sunday after three years, during which he was 19-30, including 7-10 this season.
Fangio was let go the morning after the Broncos ended their season with a 28-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, missing the playoffs for a sixth straight year.
