On Headline Sports podcast with Jessica Kwong:

#1 On Sunday the Green Bay Packers have won seven of their last nine games. They had a tremendous game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers offense exploded for a 48-32 win against the fifth best defense in the NFL and Packers quarterback Jordan Love got the protection he needed to get time to make his throws. The Packers have the tough task facing the heavily favored San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara on Saturday night.

#2 On Monday it wasn’t even close as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took it to the Philadelphia Eagles 32-9. The Bucs got plenty of offense from quarterback Baker Mayfield who threw 22-36 for 337 yards and three touchdowns. Those touchdowns made the big difference for the Bucs as the Eagles defense just couldn’t stop Mayfield on the offense.

#3 The Buffalo Bills wasted no time making things happen as the Bills took a first half lead of 21-7 over the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Steelers knew quickly that this was going to be a rough afternoon. The Bills and Steelers had a defensive second half with each scoring ten points but it was the first half that made the difference as the Bills took a 31-17 win. The Bills will host the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.

#4 The Detroit Lions cut it real close against the Los Angeles Rams 24-23 last Sunday. The Lions quarterback Jared Goff outdueled former Lions quarterback Matt Stafford at Ford Field in Detroit. Goff threw for 277 yards and connected for one touchdown as the Lions advance to face the Buccaneers next Sunday in Detroit.

#5 The Kansas City Chiefs were their old post season selves again as they didn’t even make it close against the Miami Dolphins in a 26-7 win at Arrowhead Stadium. Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahomes 23-41 for 262 yards and one touchdown. The Chiefs are headed for Buffalo this Sunday in the second round of the AFC Playoffs.
