WATCH: Rhamondre Stevenson rumbles for touchdown vs. Bills

Rhamondre Stevenson cashes in on an angry touchdown run

The New England Patriots entered Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills with nothing to lose. That made them dangerous in the early going with Drake Maye delivering a deep touchdown pass and running back Rhamondre Stevenson following it up with a bruising touchdown run.

Stevenson powered his way through tackles and rumbled into the end zone from 14 yards out for the score. The drive itself took nine plays, 91 yards and 9:57 off the clock. It was Stevenson’s seventh rushing touchdown of the season.

The Patriots have struggled to get the ground game going consistently this season. So Stevenson coming away with six points on the ground was a huge win for the offense.

The Bills would respond on their ensuing drive to make a 14-7 game. Nevertheless, Stevenson’s physicality helped New England score their second touchdown in as many drives and make a statement early.

Former Patriots Pro Bowl LB Matthew Judon gets pick-six touchdown

The man with the red sleeves got a pick-six in Sunday’s game

Former New England Patriots edge rusher Matthew Judon is up to his old game-wrecking ways with the Atlanta Falcons.

In Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, the veteran linebacker hauled in a deflected pass and took it to the house for six points. It was a beautiful heads-up play that poured onto an already lopsided lead for the Falcons in Atlanta.

Judon started the year in New England, but he was ultimately traded to the Falcons for a third-round draft pick before the start of the regular season. It has been a mostly disappointing run for the four-time Pro Bowler in Atlanta. However, plays like the pick-six against New York are proof that he’s capable of making a game-changing play at any moment.

The Patriots haven’t had much success in the pass-rushing department without Judon this season. But they have big hopes that players like Keion White and Anfernee Jennings can grow in the role.

The Kansas City Chiefs have an eight-point lead over the Houston Texans after a scoring drive that heavily featured rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy.

The former Texas Longhorn hauled the ball in and sauntered into the end zone to score.

Chiefs vs. Texans: Trent McDuffie snags second career interception

Kansas City #Chiefs DB Trent McDuffie snagged the second interception of his young career against the Houston #Texans in Week 16.

The Kansas City Chiefs are nursing a seven-point halftime lead in their Week 16 matchup against the Houston Texans, and have relied on Steve Spagnuolo’s outstanding defense to keep momentum on their side.

Though Houston has done its best to solve the riddle of Spagnuolo’s schemes, Kansas City’s defenders have kept Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud on his back foot while also maintaining pressure on their opponent’s running game.

After rookie defensive back Jaden Hicks came down with an interception on the game’s first drive, star cornerback Trent McDuffie got into the action and secured his second career interception before the half.

Take a look at this video of McDuffie’s diving pick, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

The Kansas City Chiefs’s hot start leveled off in the second quarter of their matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday, but the defending Super Bowl champions got momentum back on their side just before halftime.

After a defensive turnover and subsequent touchdown by the Chiefs to open the game, Kansas City’s offense plateaued after the first quarter.

Down 10-7 with under five minutes remaining, quarterback Patrick Mahomes put together a near-perfect drive that resulted in an impressive touchdown scored by veteran running back Kareem Hunt.

Take a look at this video of Hunt’s touchdown, which was posted by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account:

WATCH: Patriots QB Drake Maye rushes for touchdown vs. Cardinals

Drake Maye has some wheels on him

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye scored the team’s second touchdown of Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.

The first touchdown for the team was a completed pass to wide receiver Demario Douglas. However, this time, Maye scored a touchdown with his legs.

The rookie quarterback carried the ball from five yards out for the score late in the fourth quarter when the game was out of reach. The rush concluded a six-play, 70-yard drive that took 1:32 off the clock. It was the rookie’s second rushing touchdown of the season.

More importantly, he helped get the team on the board in a game where the offense struggled to finish drives with touchdowns.

Maye showed flashes of what makes him one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL. It wasn’t enough to get the Patriots a win, but it was enough to give them hope that the future is still bright in New England.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in full control of their Week 15 matchup against the Cleveland Browns through three quarters.

Though Cleveland has done its best to keep the score close, costly interceptions thrown by Browns quarterback Jameis Winston have kept momentum on Kansas City’s side throughout the game.

Early in the fourth quarter, Winston was intercepted by Chiefs defensive back Trent McDuffie, marking Kansas City’s fifth takeaway in the late-season showdown.

The Chiefs haven’t been able to force many turnovers this season, but have had Winston’s number all day. The former Heisman Trophy winner has thrown three interceptions and failed to score a passing touchdown.

After being held to 14 points in the first half, quarterback Patrick Mahomes was quick to get his teammates involved on the Chiefs’ first possession of the third quarter.
