押し通すs, Bucs, Packers earn 勝利，勝つs on same day in upside-負かす／撃墜する NFC
Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers led 復帰 勝利，勝つs and the Los Angeles 押し通すs 支配するd Russell Wilson and the Broncos.
It was a 勝利を得た Christmas for the Buccaneers, Packers and 押し通すs as many 人物／姿／数字d it would be when the schedule was 解放（する）d in May. The NFC´s 最高の，を越す three preseason 最高の Bowl favorites were 推定する／予想するd to be (v)策を弄する／(n)騎手ing for プレーオフ positioning Sunday.
Instead, the 押し通すs (5-10) are trying to 避ける the most losses by a defending 最高の Bowl 支持する／優勝者. The Packers (7-8) need help just to make the プレーオフs. The Buccaneers (7-8) lead the dreadful NFC South with a first-place 対決 coming up against Carolina.
While the NFC is upside 負かす／撃墜する, the AFC has lived up to 期待s. The Buffalo 法案s (12-3) and Kansas City 長，指導者s (12-3) entered the season as the 最高の，を越す two 最高の Bowl favorites and they are 1-2 in the race for the No. 1 seed. The defending AFC 支持する／優勝者 Cincinnati Bengals (11-4) are third with a chance to move up when they host the 法案s next Monday night.
Brady 決起大会／結集させるd Tampa Bay from a 10-point 赤字 in the fourth ４半期/4分の1 to a 19-16 overtime victory at Arizona に引き続いて another poor 不快な／攻撃 業績／成果. The 45-year-old, seven-time 最高の Bowl 支持する／優勝者 threw two 選ぶs for the third straight game, the 罪／違反 had no rhythm until it went into hurry-up 方式 late and the 使い果たすd 不快な／攻撃 line lost another 重要な player.
The Buccaneers would clinch the 分割 肩書を与える with a 勝利，勝つ over the Panthers (6-9) on New Year's Day. They´d earn the No. 4 seed in the NFC and home-field advantage in a wild-card game with the most likely 対抗者 存在 the Dallas Cowboys (11-4).

The Bucs opened the season with a 19-3 勝利，勝つ in Dallas. These are two different teams now. If Brady and the Bucs play the way they have for most of the season, the Cowboys will （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 them by 二塁打 digits.
Brady doesn´t seem to 信用 his 不快な／攻撃 line, so he´s getting rid of the ball at a faster pace than he ever has, and he appears to 欠如（する） 信用／信任 in his receivers at times.
The 罪／違反 has been out of sync all season and is 普通の／平均（する）ing より小数の than 18 points. But the 弁護 has stepped up and Brady has engineered three 復帰 勝利，勝つs in the last seven games.
The Buccaneers had a lower seed in 2020 and had to 勝利，勝つ three road games in the プレーオフs on their way to a 最高の Bowl 肩書を与える in Brady´s first season in Tampa Bay. That 罪／違反 was dynamic, 普通の／平均（する）ing more than 30 points per game.
They´ll need to play far better than they´ve shown to have a 発射 at winning a プレーオフ game.
Rodgers and the Packers were 長，率いるd toward 排除／予選 a few weeks ago after a 4-8 start. But they´ve won three straight games and now can make the プレーオフs with two more 勝利，勝つs 加える a loss by Washington (7-7-1) or two losses by the 巨大（な）s (8-6-1).
Green Bay 追跡するd Miami 20-10 in the second ４半期/4分の1 on Sunday before outscoring the イルカs 16-0 the 残り／休憩（する） of the way. The 弁護 選ぶd Tua Tagovailoa three times in the fourth ４半期/4分の1 to help 安全な・保証する the 26-20 upset on the road.
The Packers 港／避難所´t 似ているd the team that won 13 games in each of the three previous seasons. But they´re starting to come together 負かす／撃墜する the stretch.
In 2010 when Rodgers won his only 最高の Bowl, the Packers made the プレーオフs as the sixth and final seed in the NFC. They host the Vikings (12-3) and Lions (7-8) in the final two games with a chance to こそこそ動く in.
The 押し通すs already have been knocked out of the プレーオフ race, but パン職人 Mayfield has made them 利益／興味ing. He was excellent in a 51-14 勝利，勝つ against Denver, 完全にするing 24 of 28 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns. Mayfield has led Los Angeles to two victories in three games since he joined the team two days before 主要な a 復帰 勝利，勝つ over Las Vegas on Dec. 8.
The 押し通すs, Buccaneers and Packers each won in the same week for only the second time this season and the first since Week 2.
にもかかわらず their struggles, Brady and Rodgers still have a 発射. Don´t count them out until they´re 除去するd.
