Titans 35, Texans 14 The unlikely (and apparently unstoppable) duo of quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry came through once again, delivering a playoff-clinching win over an unmotivated division rival. While Tennessee kept Henry in the game so he could pass Cleveland’s Nick Chubb for the league’s rushing title, the team may have to apologize to Tannehill for not letting him throw the ball at least one more time: He finished the season with 2,742 passing yards, leaving him 8 short of earning a $250,000 bonus.

Dolphins 27, Patriots 24 “Nobody feels sorry for the Patriots not getting a first-round bye in the playoffs,” Patriots safety Devin McCourty said.

Saints 42, Panthers 10 Needing a win to stay alive in the race for a first-round bye, New Orleans had done enough to get there by the end of the first quarter — and then just kept going in a blowout. Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes, stretching his record to 547 for his career and putting him six ahead of Tom Brady before an off-season in which both future Hall of Famers may consider retirement.
