2022 3GML Season - Week 16

Washington Commanders @ San Francisco 49ers

SANTA CLARA - The San Francisco 49ers cooled off the Washington Commanders Sunday with an exciting 34-20 win.  With the Niners up seven, the Commanders had a chance to tie the game, but safety Marcus Williams had other plans and intercepted Taylor Heinicke to return it for a touchdown sealing the win for San Francisco (11-4).

The Niners now travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders.

Green Bay Packers @ Miami Dolphins

MIAMI - Facing their former quarterback, the Green Bay Packers couldn't overcome Aaron Rodgers stellar play and fell 31-23 to the Miami Dolphins.  Rodgers who likely had extra motivation to beat the team was outstanding, throwing zero interceptions and taking zero sacks on the day.  

A silver lining for the Packers (9-5-1) was finally having huge games from both of their all-pro receivers.   Stefon Diggs and Justin Jefferson both had over 90 yards receiving on the afternoon.  Green Bay will need more of this if they are going to make a run in the playoffs.

The loss likely knocks Green Bay out of the hunt for the number one seed in the NFC, but we'll see if they continue to play their starters down the stretch.  They next return home to host the Minnesota Vikings.

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans

TENNESSEE - The Houston Texans (11-4) claimed the AFC South Division title for the 2nd consecutive year with their 17-10 win over the Tennessee Titans.  The Titans down a large number of key players including quarterback Ryan Tannehill, couldn't muster much offense against the mighty Texans D.  

Houston will look to keep in the hunt for the AFC's number one seed next week as they host the Jacksonville Jaguars.
