Tom Brady has a big day ahead of him with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers able to clinch a place in the playoffs with a win against the Carolina Panthers. It’s the same for the Giants, who take on the Colts at the MetLife Stadium while the Dolphins have Teddy Bridgewater at QB, with Tua Tagovaiola out as he follows concussion protocol. Follow the action LIVE with Sportsmail.

Thanks for tuning in to Dailymail.com’s coverage of the 1pm slate. Tune in same place, same time next week!

Last play of the game, oh false start from Carolina pushes them back five.

The lateral doesn’t work and the Bucs clinch the NFC South. 

OPI called on D.J. as he interfere with Winfield to stop a sure-fire interception. 

1st & 14 now with 20s left. 

Shi Smith get the ball down to their 40 and CAR spike it. Hail Mary coming.

Jake Camada bobbled the snap and raced away from defenders and kicked it all the way down to the 2! 

There is a flag for ineligible player down field and a replay of fourth down. What a game-changing play from Camada.

Fair catch called for at the 8. 0:26 remaining. 

Carolina uses its final timeout and will force a punt here with 0:42 remaining.

Patriots recover the Miami onside kick and NE now control their own destiny ahead of next week’s game at Buffalo. 

Carolina cannot recover their onside kick. But they do have 3 timeouts remaining with 0:58 remaining.

Carolina opted for a FG and missed! Though the delay of game forces a re-kick. 

Piniero puts it through. Carolina trail by 6 with 0:59 remaining. 

Onside kick coming.

1 min remaining with the Pats holding a two-point lead.

Carolina have all three timeouts but just 1:31 to get two scores. 

Sam Darnold doing his best to keep them alive…down to the TB 25.

KC make it 13 wins on the season, able to put away a spirited Broncos team. 

CLE 24-10 

Koo kicks through a chip-shot game-winner as time expired to give Atlanta its sixth win on the season. 

Darnold has the ball knocked out of his hands and with 2:24 remaining the Bucs have scored a TD!

Nine-point lead for Tampa, would be hard to see them losing from here…although the play is under review. It is overturned. 

When we come back from the two-minute warning, it’ll be a 2nd & Goal…and this looks over. 

Another Russell Wilson rushing touchdown! 

Denver within three — 6:14 remaining.

Jakobi Meyers goes up and Moss’d the Miami DB and it’s an nine point Patriot lead with 4:37 remaining. 

Dire times for the Dolphins. 

Huge DPI call on Miami. 

First & Goal coming up for the Pats — 5:21 left in Q4 as NE lead 16-14.

Brady to Evans again!! 3 TDs for the A&M man. 

Insane 200 yard performance from Evans. Brady converts the two-pointer to Godwin and it’s 24-21 Tampa. 

6:47 left in Q4. Your turn, Sam Darnold.

Marshawn Lattimore jumps the route and picks off Minshew’s pass to A.J. Brown. 

Eagles will get the ball back with the Saints set to punt from around the Philly 40-yard line, with 6:14 remaining. 

NO still lead 13-10.

McKinnon with his second TD on the day, Mahomes finds him after Valdes-Scantling set the pick and KC have breathing room with 13 mins to play.

Going for it all the former Eagles QB is picked off in the end zone. 

That one is over (virtually) at FedEx Field. 

Wentz finds Cam Sims for a 17-yard gain and conversion on 4th down to keep the Commanders in it.

They still have plenty to do with 3:10 left.

4th and 1 from midfield and Minshew can’t convert the QB sneak. 

What a stand by this fierce NO defense — still lead 13-10 with 8:20 remaining.

The fourth lead change of the day. 

14:50 to play.

The NFC playoff picture is on its head! 

Washington have five minutes to turn this around…

Sam Darnold with an absolute laser to Shi Smith for a two-score lead to start Q4. 

Massive mountain to climb for TB12 and Tampa.

Giants get yet another TD and Jones has his second rushing – fourth overall TD – score on the day. 

Washington make this a one-score game with 10 minutes left in the ball game.

Kyle Duggar with a phenomenal return after picking off Bridgewater! Then houses it. Amazing play for the NE squad. 

The XPA is no good and so it’s a 16-14 NE lead.

Could there be an upset brewing in KC?

.@Broncos take the lead and @DangeRussWilson is fired up 🔥

77-yard TD to A.J. Brown who finally gets in on the act! 

Game on at The Linc

Derrick Brown with a blocked FG after a huge stand by the Panther D on goal-to-go situations. 

Momentum with the road team.

AZ 16-14 ATL — 6:52 Q3 

MIA 14-7 NE — 7:55 Q3 

NO 13-3 PHI — 2:24 Q3 

NYG 31-3 IND — 2:30 Q3

Donovan Peoples-Jones gets in and that’s a hammer blow for Washington with less than a minute left in Q3.

D’Andre Swift caps off a 90-yard drive with his second touchdown on the day.

Snoop Connor gets his first NFL career touchdown. And it’s an absolute route in H-Town. 

Jones keeps it and rushes 18 yards to the house for a TD – his sixth rushing score of the season. 

Party time in New York. 

Jamaal Williams with another TD on the year. It’s becoming a blowout in Motown. 

The three0time DPOY gets a sack in his second last game. 

Desmond Ridder is another now on the long, long victim list. 

Amari Cooper takes a Watson pass 46 yards for the score! Terrible play by Kendall Fuller but what a play from Cooper. 

Huge moment in the NFC wildcard race. 

Philly finally get on the board! 

NO 13-0 PHI

DET 24-10 CHI

CAR 14-10 TB 

Nick Foles is merely injured. Although Thibodeaux’s showboating is sure to both amuse and enrage NFL fans. 

Seems very obvious that he didn’t notice Foles was hurt.

Kayvon Thibodeaux snow angles next to a dead Nick Foles is messed up but really funny pic.twitter.com/ZTYBzNq6os

Detroit ball at midfield with an already comfortable 21-10 lead. Could they almost put the Bears away before half?

Bucs get the ball back immediately in the red zone as Darnold fumbles the snap! 

Huge momentum swing in Florida!

McKinnon walks into the end zone as Mahomes finds him in the flat. 

Chiefs now back in control. 

A 63-yard bomb from Tom Brady to Mike Evans gives Tampa a huge foothold in this game. 

Very much alive. 

Brock Wright with his second on the day!

Landon Collins houses it as the G-Men get ready for a big playoff berth celebration!

Carson Wentz with a QB sneak from the 1-yard line 

Cordarrelle Patterson from close range does it!

AZ 10-7 ATL 

DET 14-10 

Russell Wilson rushing TD! You gotta be kidding me. 

And Denver somehow, someway lead at Arrowhead. 

About to be reviewed but for now it looks good for the Jags.

Houston look a mess right now.

Darnold finds D.J. Moore with an absolute DIME. 

Tom Brady and the Bucs looking in desperate trouble currently 

A 62-yard burner from Travis Etienne Jr. for the TD. 

Impacts of the new roughing the passer rule…

New Orleans dominating time of possession at The Linc.

This Philadelphia drive with Gardner Minshew now becomes very interesting.

A badly underthrown ball is picked off by Cleveland, ensuing a chorus of boos ring around FedEx Field. 

You have to wonder when Taylor Heinicke will be getting ready.

Tyreek Hill scoots in near the pylon and we’re all tied. Not sure if that’s a pass or run play by Hill but not sure Mike McDaniel cares.

D’Andre Swift makes some moves to get in!

Richie James finds some space adlibbing and New York get the lead they so crave!

Jones to James and the @Giants are on the board!

How isn’t this a fumble?pic.twitter.com/Vh59Jw8wWD

Wow. MIA going for it on 4th & 1 from their own 34?! 

It looked like they didn’t get it but that’s voided by a false start, so they have to punt. 

Another lucky break for the Dolphins! Wait, no MIA go for it on 4th & 1 again somehow. And they convert. Madness.

Another huge run from Fields all the way to the Lions 8-yard line. He’s now at 104 yards rushing and we’ve still got 4:30 left in Q1!!

AZ 3-0 ATL 

Crucial third down is converted into six. Must-win for NE starts off right. 

Taysum Hill runs it in from close range after a stellar opening drive by New Orleans on the road. 

Very impressive stuff from NO.

The big tight end Brock Wright makes a big catch to help tie things up in Mowtown. 

Another TD for the Rutgers rookie.

A big gainer from Bucs wideout Chris Godwin goes utterly to waste as he has the ball punched out and Carolina recover up 7-0. 

Cleveland take over in positive territory. 

Still 0-0 in the nation’s capital, but that’s not the start WAS wanted.

Justin Fields burned DET with his legs and just a few plays later loops one to Cole Kmet for the score. 

Another road team flying. 

Sam Darnold finds Tommy Tremble and Carolina gets six on its first drive! 

What a start by the road team. Electric from the men in electric blue.

Miami get away with one here! Mostert fumbled which was recovered by New England but the play was ruled to be forward progress.

An ruling that can’t be challenged, so MIA keep the ball.

We’ll cover every TD and all that you need to know in every 1pm game!

The Dolphins have a host of injuries but the Pats are far from completely healthy either! 

It’s all on the line in Foxborough. A loss sees NE crash out of the playoff race. 

A win? Well, they’re every chance to make it.

Philly can clinch the NFC East with a win but New Orleans have plenty to play for and a win – and TB loss – brings them level atop the NFC South.

No Jalen Hurts certainly provides them an opportunity. 

Detroit can keep its playoff hopes alive with a win over NFC North rival Chicago today.

MIA: Win + NYJ loss/tie 

WAS: Win + SEA, DET and GB losses

New York will clinch a playoff spot if they are to overcome a Colts team missing Jonathan Taylor and stud pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue. 

The Cowboys can win the NFC East if Philadelphia lose today to New Orleans and vs. New York Giants next week. 

Dallas would also need to win at Washington to complete the feat.

We present you Cowboy @michaelirvin88 trying to lasso an eagle and it’s as great as you would expect it to be 🤣😂 pic.twitter.com/vCGSm2pRTc

The #Dolphins will be without QB Tua Tagovailoa, OLB Bradley Chubb, OT Terron Armstead, CB Xavien Howard and OT Eric Fisher today vs. the New England Patriots.

Jags @ Texans

Surprisingly, the NFC South is the headline act of the 1pm games given its inconsitencies this season. Win, and Tom Brady’s Bucs will clinch the division once more. 

Lose and it is in Carolina’s hands.
