Here are the best games from Sunday’s slate!

Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Rams

There’s still a Durant playing on Christmas Day

Sure, Nets star Kevin Durant isn’t playing in a Christmas Day game for the first time since 2009 (when healthy), but another Durant is making plays.

Rams rookie corner Cobie Durant made a diving interception to give his team good field position.

At home!

Tyler Higbee made the reception just past the goal line and worked his way into the end zone to give Los Angeles a 10-0 first quarter lead.

Hey, old teammate!

Bobby Wagner had fun intercepting Russell Wilson, his former teammate with the Seattle Seahawks, to give the Rams great field position on back-to-back drives.

Cam Akers add in advance

The Rams running back found his way into the end zone on a three-yard run to give LA a 17-0 first quarter lead.

Courtland Sutton keep it cool

The Broncos wide receiver made a diving catch along the sideline that was initially ruled incomplete, but Denver challenged the play and quick review determined Sutton made the catch.

The catch helped the Broncos set up for a field goal and make it 17-3.

TD Santa Claus

Higbee scored his second touchdown in the second quarter to give the Rams a 24-3 lead early in the second quarter.

The Rams followed that up with a 2 yard touchdown run of Cam Akers to take a 31-6 halftime lead.

Packers de Green Bay 26, Dolphins de Miami 20

Almost run all the way

After the Dolphins won 3-0 in the first practice, Keisean Nixon put the Packers in great position on the field, returning the ensuing kick 94 yards to put Green Bay in Miami’s 10-yard line . The Packers might not take full advantage of it, settling for a field placement.

Waddle for six hours!

Jaylen Waddle took Tagovailoa’s pass from the distance, turning a 10-yard reception into an 84-yard touchdown to give Miami a 10-3 lead.

I have a Marcedes for Christmas

Green Bay finally reached the end zone when Rodgers found Marcedes Lewis wide open to level the game at 10-10.

star power

Tagovailoa’s favorite gift this season has been Tyreek Hill, and he connected with him once more over Christmas. The star receiver carried a catch 52 yards to put the Dolphins at the Packers 1-yard line.

Then Jeff Wilson ran for a touchdown on the ensuing play to give Miami a 17-10 lead.

Not under Miami’s watch

The Packers tried to maintain their drive by executing a fake punt at fourth down deep in their own territory. The dolphins sniffed the fake faster than Santa Claus sniffs the cookies on Christmas Eve.

Great conversion on the fourth try

Rodgers used the game to his advantage, finding Christian Watson open for a first down to help set the Packers up for a field goal to make it 20-13 before halftime.

Swipe left

Rodgers moved to his left and found Lewis, but this time for a 30+ yard completion to put the Packers at the Dolphins 7-yard line.

Genius AJ

AJ Dillon worked his way into the end zone just two plays following Rodgers’ through ball to tie the game early in the third quarter.

The Dolphins defense gets the pick…but was there a PI?

Rodgers wanted it all on third-and-15, throwing a pass towards the end zone to Allen Lazard. Kader Kohou played to get the interception for the Dolphins, however, but it looks like he might have got away with it with a contact.

“Ball Don’t Lie”, at least for Packers fans

On the play just following Rodgers’ interception, the Packers got the ball back when Tagovailoa kicked the ball directly at Jaire Alexander to give Green Bay great field position.

A gift for De’Vondre Campbell

Tagovailoa threw another interception directly at the Packers linebacker as the Dolphins rolled to tie or take the lead.

Tua turnover

The Dolphins quarterback threw his third interception in his last three series as his final pass of the game went straight to Rasul Douglas, sealing the Packers’ 26-20 win.
