Yesterday in Sports: 12/20/14

There were 2 NFL games yesterday, both very important to the playoff hopes of the teams playing in them. The first game was Redskins vs. Eagles. The Redskins won 27-24 which diminishes Philadelphia's playoff chances. Eagle's kicker Cody Parkey missed 2 crucial field goals, which may have changed the outcome of the game. DeSean Jackson of the Redskins had 126 receiving against his former team. The Eagles will be eliminated from playoff contention if Dallas wins today. The Detroit Lions clinched the playoffs due to the Eagle's loss.

The other NFL game yesterday was an extremely exciting game between the Chargers and the 49ers. The Chargers needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, however they were trailing 28-7 at half and 35-21 going into the fourth. They managed to tie the game and send it into OT thanks to a Malcom Floyd TD reception from Philip Rivers with 29 seconds left. Rivers threw 4 TDs and 3 INTs. The Chargers would win 38-35 in OT on Nick Novak's 40 yard field goal.

In the NCAAB #24 North Carolina upset #12 Ohio St. 82-74. Both teams now have 9 wins. In the NHL the Blackhawks were upset by the Blue Jackets 3-2 in a shootout. The Hawks now have 46 points while the Blue Jackets have 31.
