We are getting close to the end of the regular season and it seems like half of the Buckeyes in the NFL are on injured reserve.

But, there are still a few out there making big plays and contributing to contending teams. Let's take a look at some of the best performances from this week.

Jerome Baker Continues Career Year

What a season it has been for Jerome Baker. The third-year pro has notched 98 tackles so far this season to go with six sacks. He added a sack on Sunday, plus a forced fumble.

Baker helped the Dolphins earn their ninth win of the season yesterday and knock down the door to the playoffs as the likely second-place team in the AFC East to earn a wild card spot.

J.K. Dobbins Keeps Lead Role, Scores

After starting the year mostly on the bench as a backup for Baltimore, J.K. Dobbins has seized the starting role from Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards late in the season.

He continued that on Sunday, rushing for 64 yards on 14 carries, and adding a short score.

As mentioned in the tweet, this is the fourth straight game with a touchdown for Dobbins, who has come on extremely strong as the Ravens make a playoff push of their own.

Carlos Hyde Rips Off Long Touchdown

Despite not being the starter in Seattle this season, Carlos Hyde seems to make an impact every time he touches the ball for the Seahawks.

Sunday was no different, as Hyde had just two carries, but took advantage on one of them and ripped off a 50-yard score.

Much like the Ravens and the Dolphins, the Seahawks are making a charge of their own towards the Lombardi Trophy. It will be interesting to see if any of these three will get to hoist it in just a few weeks.
