Evans finishes with touchdowns of his own and contributed directly to a third. He and Cade Otton helped free up Jalen McMillan on a rub route in the first quarter that sent the rookie WR flying down the sideline for a 26-yard score. Evans looks every bit the crafty route runner he has always been, deftly shaking CB Kristin Fulton on his 35-yard fourth-quarter score. Evans is a WR1 next week, facing a Cowboys defense that just lost CB Trevon Diggs (knee) for the season.

Gainwell managed 10 of 60 snaps with Saquon Barkley deservedly dominating the workload. He looked spry and effective on his runs, but of course there’s no reason to expect him to do more than this at this point. Gainwell had 11 carries in Week 18 as Barkley rested, but will be a two-minute drill and situational receiving back as usual in the Divisional Round.

He added two catches for four yards. The Packers were able to key in on Barkley as the Philadelphia pass offense struggled through the middle of the game, but he closed out the game with a 17-yard run that could have gone longer had Barkley not slid to a stop to wrap things up. Barkley will undoubtedly play a large role — as per usual — against Philadelphia’s Divisional Round opponent. It will be up to Jalen Hurts to make sure Barkley’s running lanes are cleared for the explosive game we didn’t get here.

He was caught reading a book on the sideline while the defense was on the field — we can’t blame him after watching the Packers offense — and was the target on an incomplete shot play off a faked tush push. These weeks are on the table for the Eagles and Brown’s fantasy football standing comes and goes with how their offensive design measures up to the task. He’ll look to rebound next week against the higher of the two NFC seeds to survive the 3-6/4-5 games. Maybe he’ll read some Cioran on the sideline for his fantasy managers next week.

Love wasn’t helped by the fact that a) the Packers offensive line couldn’t go more than eight plays between holding penalties and b) Green Bay’s receivers getting injured at a prodigious enough rate to leave Malik Heath on the field in key downs. But it was not good enough for the Packers, who needed a transformative performance against a dominant Eagles defense and could not find it in Love. He finishes the year with a seasonal line of 3,389 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 picks. It’s not that the Packers are necessarily “bad,” but Love doesn’t have transformative weapons and the shape of the offense bent towards the run. It will be hard for him to be more than a bottom-tier QB1 with spike weeks without better receiving talent or a shift in offensive design in 2025.

While Hurts was running, it was clear that he was running towards the sideline any chance he could — often at the expense of yards — and that he probably wasn’t going to be taking any unnecessary risks in the running game. After establishing a 10-0 lead with the help of a Packers kickoff return fumble, Hurts led drives of 11, five, six, and two yards while going 0-of-7 throwing to leave the Packers a small window to get back into the game. He rebounded in the third quarter, mostly thanks to a big play by Dallas Goedert. It wasn’t an altogether inspiring effort from Hurts, but the Eagles are good enough to win with this kind of performance at this point. The Eagles will await the higher-seeded winner of the 3-6 and 4-5 NFC games in the Divisional Round.

Reed appeared to suffer the injury while being tackled in the third quarter, he walked off to the locker room with trainers under his own power. Bo Melton, Malik Heath, Dontayvion Wicks, and Randall Cobb (okay, we made that last one up) will try to help the Packers complete a comeback against the Eagles if Reed can’t return. Reed led the team with four catches for 46 yards on his only four targets before leaving.

Rivera has spoken with both the Bears and Jets, but doesn’t seem particularly likely to land a head-coaching job this offseason. Rivera, who celebrated his 63rd birthday this past week, presided over a disastrous four years of Commanders football that ended with zero winning records. That wasn’t exactly his fault — Dan Snyder’s presence made it hard for any shards of sunlight to break through — but the Commanders were disastrous drafters under Rivera and he was at best a conservative defense-first coach who didn’t elevate that side of the ball. He’ll likely have to settle for a defensive coordinator job if he wants to rejoin the ranks this offseason.

Tampa listed five players questionable and all of them will play — Jamel Dean (knee), Mike Edwards (quad), Logan Hall (groin), and Antoine Winfield Jr. (knee) will join Otton in trying to hold it down for the NFC South champions Sunday night. Inactive for the Buccaneers are: DL C.J. Brewer, TE Devin Culp, WR Kam Johnson, WR Tanner Knue, S Ryan Neal, G Royce Newman, and OLB Jose Ramirez.

Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is playing off a questionable tag. Crowder was the only Washington player who was listed as questionable. All players listed are healthy scratches, with Rodriguez losing his role in the backfield as Austin Ekeler returns.

It looked rather scary when Doubs came down on the back of his helmet in the end zone, with several Packers players taking a knee around him before trainers rolled him on to his back and helped him into the locker room. We’d be extremely surprised if he returns. Doubs had two catches for 13 yards on his only two targets before leaving. (The incomplete pass on this play was wiped away via holding penalty.) Doubs missed two weeks after a concussion earlier this season.
