The Dallas Cowboys suffered a difficult loss at the hands of the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night and All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons couldn’t hide his frustrations with the officiating in the aftermath.
After the game, Parsons, who was controversially flagged for roughing the passer after a hit on Tua Tagovailoa, expressed his dismay with the penalties that went against the Cowboys during the game. 
“It’s mind-blowing, the things that are getting called, and the positions that we get put in. We just have to learn how to fight the adversity.

Dan Campbell envisioned the Detroit Lions competing at the highest level when he became the team’s head coach ahead of the 2021 season.
Despite winning only three games in his first season, Campbell never wavered in his vision for the franchise, which paid off on Sunday in helping the Lions capture their first NFC North crown in 30 years after defeating the Minnesota Vikings, 30-24.

The Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys battled in a nail-biter of a game on Sunday that carried massive postseason implications for both teams.
For the Dolphins, a win would punch their ticket to the playoffs with two games left to play in the regular season, while the Cowboys needed a win to stay atop the NFC East standings.
Late in the fourth quarter the Cowboys were trailing 19–13 and facing fourth-and-goal from the Miami four-yard line, giving the Dolphins a chance to seal the win.

The Denver Broncos’ prime-time game against the New England Patriots afforded the historic franchise an opportunity to make waves on Sunday courtesy of the return of a popular throwback helmet. 
After debuting the gear in Week 5, the Broncos opted to enter Week 16 donning their classic “snowcapped” helmets along with their all-orange “Color Rush” uniforms, giving fans another glimpse at the memorable uni combination.

The highly anticipated matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins was derisively referred to as the Pretenders Bowl by skeptics of both teams.
But the Dolphins might no longer be pretenders after an impressive 22–20 victory against the Cowboys on Sunday. Miami clinched a playoff spot and needs one more win to avoid a winner-take-all matchup for the AFC East title against the Buffalo Bills in Week 18.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also one step closer to capturing a division title after an easy day against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jorge Martin breaks down how Tampa Bay’s top wide receiver just might be the biggest draft-day steal at the position and possibly a league winner.

Adam Thielen believes the Green Bay Packers received favorable officiating for Christmas this year.
The Panthers wideout reacted to Carolina’s 33-30 loss to Green Bay. In his postgame Airing of Grievances, Thielen took umbrage with a late catch by Packers WR Romeo Doubs that could have been ruled a no-catch. Doubs’ catch kept the game-winning drive alive.
Rather than calling it pure luck for the Pack, Thielen criticized the game’s officials.
Thielen sounded like a frustrated player on a 2-13 team.

Days ago when he was giving reporters his usual 4,000 words of wisdom about the upcoming game, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel offered the truest assessment of both his team and the Dallas Cowboys before they met:
“I think it sets up for two teams that feel internally that they really have something to prove to themselves and that makes for good football,” McDaniel said.
The Narrative Bowl was played at Hard Rock Stadium on Christmas eve.

The words “kick” and “defer” mean very different things in an NFL coin toss.
