 Josh Allen has set the Buffalo Bills' new single-season record for yards passing.
 Allen upped his total to 4,363 with a 6-yard completion to Devin Singletary on the opening play of the second quarter in Buffalo’s game against Miami. The third-year starter topped the mark of 4,359 yards set by Drew Bledsoe in 2002. No other Bills player has topped 4,000.
 Allen finished the drive with 7-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah McKenzie to put Buffalo up 7-3. That increased his season total to 4,396 yards passing. The touchdown was his 35th passing of the season, extending the single-season record he set last weekend.
 Allen has gone 9 of 13 for 76 yards with a touchdown and interception in three series. 
 Buffalo can grab the No. 2 seed in the AFC with a victory or a Steelers loss, and the Bills can fall no further than No. 3.

 Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans limped off the field late in the first quarter of the Buccaneers' regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons. 
 Evans appeared to hurt his left knee trying to catch a throw to the end zone from Tom Brady, slipping on the turf. The injury occurred one play after Evans made a 20-yard reception that made him the first player in NFL history to begin a career with seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. 
 The receiver was eventually helped to feet and limped toward the tunnel to the locker with assistance from a trainer.

 The Baltimore Ravens scored on their first two drives against the Cincinnati Bengals to take a 10-0 first-quarter lead.
 A Justin Tucker field-goal capped the first Baltimore drive, and then Lamar Jackson threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Miles Boykin to extend the lead.
 The Ravens can clinch a wild-card playoff spot with a win over the Bengals.
 Bengals rookie receiver Tee Higgins injured his left hamstring on a pass play that was negated because of an offensive pass interference penalty on Cincinnati’s first drive. His return is questionable.

 1:15 p.m.
 Cam Newton could be playing his final game in New England, but he has earned a place in the franchise’s record book.
 Newton’s 49-yard run on the Patriots’ opening drive Sunday against the Jets was the longest by a quarterback in franchise history. Steven Grogan held the previous record, twice posting 41-yard runs.
 With the run Newton also passed Grogan for the single-season team record for rushing yards by a quarterback. Newton entered the game 26 yards behind Grogan, who had 539 rushing yards in 1978. 
 The Patriots’ drive ended with a 7-yard TD pass from Newton to James White to put the Patriots in front 7-0.

 Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb went over 1,000 yards with style.
 The Pro Bowler broke free on a 47-yard touchdown run in the first quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers to eclipse 1,000 yards for the second straight season. The Browns will make the playoffs for the first time since 2002 with a win.
 Chubb, who rushed for 1,494 yards last season, missed four games earlier this season with a sprained right knee.
 As a rookie, Chubb went over 1,000 yards before he was thrown for a loss late in the season finale and finished with 996.

 The Tennessee Titans will be trying to win their first AFC South title in 12 years without a defensive lineman. 
 Tennessee placed rookie Teair Tart on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday hours before playing in Houston needing a victory over the Texans (4-11) to clinch the division. Tart has played seven games this season and got his first start last week in a loss at Green Bay. 
 The Titans also will be without four-time Pro Bowl kicker Stephen Gostkowski who was placed on the COVID-19 list Monday. But three-time punter Brett Kern was activated off that list Saturday and will be available Sunday.
