Here are some of the must-see moments from Week 16 in the NFL, including a NFC East title-clinching win by Washington over division rival Philadelphia and the end to a perfect run for the Carolina Panthers.
Carolina 14-1
The big news in the NFL in Week 16 was the Falcons ending the Carolina Panthers' perfect season.
Cam Newton fumbled to ball with one minute remaining in the game, leaving the Falcons 8-7 and the Panthers 14-1.
Perfect season on the line: Cam goes back to pass. Cam fumbles. Falcons win. #CARvsATL https://t.co/ph7WEXefwm

Washington clinches NFC East title
The disappointment which has been the NFC East this season continued with a blowout win for the Washington Redskins over the Philadelphia Eagles, clinching the team a spot in the wildcard match hosting the fifth place team in the NFC after the regular season concludes next weekend.
At the start of the season the team was predicted to finish last in a historically strong division but managed to climb their way to the top of the what became a group of notably struggling teams in 2015. Washington will get to rest its starters in Week 17, something it will likely need: before their Sunday afternoon game, the fifth spot in the NFC is held by the Seattle Seahawks, the team which has knocked the Redskins from the playoffs in their last three appearances there.

Strange decision costs Patriots
Bill Belichick won the coin flip and lost the game.
And everyone was left trying to make heads or tails of the New England coach's stunning decision.
This was the coin toss from the Patriots - Jets game. #NEvsNYJ https://t.co/afAXS15sY9

Eric Decker's 6-yard touchdown catch from Ryan Fitzpatrick on the first drive of overtime — after New England chose to kick off — lifted the Jets to a 26-20 victory Sunday that put New York in position to make the playoffs.
"I thought it was the best thing to do," said Belichick, whose team failed to lock up the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC playoffs.
Marshall rules
Brandon Marshall broke the NY Jets' single-season catch record. Marshall entered the game tied with Al Toon's 93 catches from 1988 but caught a five-yard toss on the first snap of the game to begin setting the new record.
FRANCHISE RECORD! @BMarshall has caught more passes this season than any player in #Jets single-season history. Way to go, 15.
