Jaguars owner Shad Khan fired Bradley immediately after Jacksonville's 21-20 loss to Houston in which the Texans rallied from a nine-point, fourth-quarter deficit behind backup QB Tom Savage.
—He reinserted fumble-prone Jordan Norwood at punt returner even though Kalif Raymond had provided a much-needed spark on special teams since supplanting him two weeks ago. Kubiak explained he needed Norwood as his third receiver for his no-huddle offense, so Raymond was inactive.
"I was letting Pete know ... that we're not confident with you throwing the ball at the 1," Sherman said. "It went great. They ran the ball on the next play and then figured out a way to get into the end zone."
Ryan Succop's 53-yard try fell well short but served as a mulligan thanks to Reid's timeout, and Succop put plenty more boost and force into his do-over. It cleared the crossbar as time expired, giving the Titans a 19-17 win over the Chiefs that kept Tennessee in the playoff hunt and denied Kansas City its clincher.
One of the worst officiating calls of the year came in the Giants' 17-6 win over the Lions. Eli Manning's pass bounced off Odell Beckham Jr.'s left hand and rolled in between the receiver's legs before he reached back and secured it. Referee Tony Corrente's crew ruled it a completion on what ended up being a touchdown drive.
HOLIDAY CHEER? By halftime of the Jaguars-Texans game, Houston QB Brock Osweiler was benched. By game's end, Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley was out the door.
Other calls included an owner who didn't wait for his coach to fly back home to fire him; a superstar who hollered at his coach on the sideline; a punt returner's failure to capitalize on his second chance; and a QB switch that worked out wonderfully,Cheap NFL Jerseys China.
Moreover,Austin Hooper Falcons Jersey, KC fell from the AFC's No. 2 seed to No. 5. If that's where it finishes, the Chiefs will have to hit the road in the wild-card round instead of getting the weekend off and preparing for a home game.
Khan issued a statement thanking Bradley, who flew home on the team charter, and explaining he didn't wait any longer to fire him because "I thought it would be best to do it immediately after today's result so Gus can step away, relax and regroup with his family during the Christmas and holiday season."
"Kind of backfired," Reid said sadly.
The Texans remain tied with Tennessee atop the AFC South thanks to Savage and coach Bill O'Brien said on Monday that Savage will start next week against Cincinnati.
BUNGLING BRONCOS: Gary Kubiak drew scrutiny for his decisions before, during and after the Broncos' 16-3 loss to New England that damaged their playoff plans and hopes to defend their Super Bowl title.

SHOUTING SHERMAN: At least the Broncos waited until they got back to the locker room to yell at each other,Cheap NFL Jerseys China. Seattle superstar Richard Sherman had another sideline outburst during the Seahawks' 24-3 over the Rams.
Sherman erupted during the third quarter with Seattle leading 10-3. On first-and-goal at the 1, Russell Wilson forced a pass in the direction of Jimmy Graham that appeared to be intercepted by the Rams' Bryce Hager. After a review, it was determined Hager didn't have possession, but that didn't stop Sherman from screaming in the direction of head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.
Khan's timing was unorthodox for an owner who showed such patience: Bradley went 14-48 in four seasons, his .225 winning percentage the worst of any NFL coach with at least 60 games.
—In the losing locker room, Kubiak opened the floor to any player who wanted to address the team. When left tackle Russell Okung tried to speak up, he was shouted down by defensive players who have had it with the offense's season-long ineptitude, which includes a league-high 57 three-and-outs.
Among the debatable calls in the NFL's Week 15, none backfired more than Andy Reid's attempt to ice an already frozen kicker at Arrowhead Stadium.
There were other notable decisions in Week 15,Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic, including league rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott's deciding to jump into an oversized Salvation Army red kettle after his short TD run in Dallas' 26-20 win over Tampa Bay.
—So atrocious was his offense that Kubiak declined to use any of his three timeouts when Tom Brady threw incomplete on third-and-5 with 1:13 lef
