The Pittsburgh Steelers spectacularly missed their first match point for playoff participation in the NFL. At the Cleveland Browns, who had only won three of their 15 games this season, the team around veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers (42) lost 6:13.
This means that the duel with the Baltimore Ravens (8 wins, 8 defeats) on January 4th will be the final game in the AFC North for a place in the final round.
The only points for the Steelers (9 wins, 7 losses) without the suspended DK Metcalf were scored by kicker Chris Boswell with two field goals. Rodgers, former MVP of the US professional league, only completed 53.8 percent of his passes to his teammate.

Drake Maye delivered a big show with the New England Patriots. In the 42:10 win over the New York Jets, the quarterback scored five touchdown passes and delivered more than 90 percent of his passes to his teammates.
