Chargers RB Hassan Haskins scores fourth quarter TD to get key divisional win over Broncos

Week 16 kicked off with the Los Angeles Chargers, led by former #Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, picking up a key division win thanks to Hassan Haskins scoring the go-ahead touchdown:

The NFL playoff picture is starting to take shape i, and in a pivotal Week 16, many former Michigan Wolverines made impact plays for their respective squads to help keep postseason hopes alive.

Let’s kick things off with a Michigan legend scoring a key touchdown late.

Hassan Haskins scores go-ahead touchdown

Michigan fans are definitely familiar with Hassan Haskins scoring touchdowns in important games, and he scored at a clutch time yet again on Thursday Night Football.

In a game that Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers really needed to win to help their postseason chances, Haskins took a pass to the house to help the Chargers beat the Denver Broncos.

That was one of two catches Haskins made in this game, but he made the most of his few touches. Harbaugh and Justin Herbert really trusted the Ohio State killer late in the game.

That was Haskins’ first receiving touchdown in the NFL, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Jourdan Lewis grabs fourth-quarter pick on Sunday Night Football

Haskins wasn’t the only former Wolverine to ball out in primetime. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers attempting to mount a comeback on Sunday Night Football, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis helped rip a deep ball away from rookie Jalen McMillan.

That pick — the first of the season for Lewis, who now has 10 over his eight-year career — helped the Cowboys win. He finished the game with six tackles as well.

In that same matchup, Dallas defensive tackle Mazi Smith logged three tackles.

A.J. Barner scores fourth-quarter TD for Seahawks, but Josh Metellus gets last laugh with epic celebration

The Seattle Seahawks came up just short in a game they really needed to against the Minnesota Vikings, but former Michigan tight end A.J. Barner did his best to help Seattle come back for victory, catching his third career NFL touchdown.

In that same game, running back Zach Charbonnet and two catches for 14 yards. For the Vikings, safety Josh Metellus had seven tackles and two quarterback hits.

Perhaps the most viral moment from this game involved Metellus. After the Vikings grabbed the game-sealing interception, Minnesota’s defense payed homage to the popular Disney move Camp Rock with their celebration.
