VIKINGS BEAT SEAHAWKS 27-24

SEATTLE (AP) — Sam Darnold connected with a well-covered Justin Jefferson with 3:51 left for his third TD pass of the game, and the Minnesota Vikings outlasted Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks 27-24 to keep pace with Detroit for the top spot in the NFC.

Jefferson finished with 10 catches for 148 yards and two TDs as the Vikings won their eighth straight.

If they can beat Green Bay and Detroit to close out the season, they will earn the top seed in the conference and a first-round playoff bye.

The Seahawks have lost two straight after a four-game winning streak and fell one game behind the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West.

EAGLES’ WINNING STREAK ENDS

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Jayden Daniels threw his fifth touchdown pass of the game with 6 seconds left to give the Washington Commanders a 36-33 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles’ winning streak ended at 10 and they lost starting quarterback Jalen Hurts to a concussion early.

Daniels led a 57-yard touchdown drive in the final 1:58 to move the Commanders to the verge of making the playoffs and prevent the Eagles from clinching the NFC East title and one of the conference’s top two seeds.

TIGER’S SON MAKES AN ACE

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods’ son hit the shot of his life for a hole-in-one. Bernhard Langer hit the shot that mattered.

The 67-year-old Langer made an 18-foot eagle putt on the first playoff hole as he and son Jason won the PNC Championship for the second straight year.

They beat Woods and 15-year-old son Charlie in a playoff.

Team Langer and Team Woods each shot 57 in the scramble format.

They made par on only four holes and set the tournament scoring record. Charlie Woods said the entire day, even in loss, was his most fun on the golf course.
