You don't have to worry now... with the Chiefs win only the Chiefs or Titans can get the 1 seed now. If Titans lose, Chiefs get the one seed.

I am glad.

Well um... I guess if you are going to be fired why not throw your quarterbacks under the bus. Again, a reason why Fangio should stay and give him a top QB to work with.

He didn't lie. Those quarterbacks are better. Lol!

Another beatdown by Dallas on their Division Rival, Philly sat starters and we'll see how that comes back to bite them in the playoffs. Meanwhile Dallas set a new NFL record for most players to score a TD in a single season at 22 players.

So with the early window results the NFL really is hoping that the chargers and raiders play each in good faith because both teams get in the playoffs with a tie regardless of what happens now

and it's their own fault for scheduling that as the late window game when the dolphins-pats game was right there for them

i hope they do kneel it out
1) because it knocks the steelers out
2) because the NFL should face some consequences for the lack of foresight

Other than Brady.......... why did CBS send Romo to Tampa? Wouldn't it have been better to send them to New England/Miami?

The Top 3 Picks in the 2022 NFL Draft have been clinched, Carolina regardless of the result today have clinched the 6th Pick.
1) Jaguars
2) Lions
3) Texans

it sucks that the dolphins couldnt beat the titans last week and got eliminated from the playoffs because they'd be a far more interesting team in the AFC playoffs than the raiders or the steelers or the colts would have been - that defence is nasty and if they win today then they will have won 8 of the last 9 and be one of the more in form teams in the NFL

The Rams are putting the final nail in the coffin for the 49ers season. Saints are up on Atlanta, if this stands then the Saints are in the playoffs and the 49ers are out.

not even coming from a salty Ravens fan's POV, but the Raiders and Chargers should honestly just tie

it makes no sense for them not to

like why risk missing out on the playoffs when you can both just kneel it out and make it...

it's happened a few times in other sports - and it's why lots of other sports make sure their final games of the year all happen at the same time so that you dont end up with potential sham or dead-rubber games

think there was a game involving germany in the 80s or 90s too

yeah and thats why pretty much every other sports league has all games on the final day at the same time (championship sunday in the PL). it was a colossal failure by the NFL here who are usually good at creating drama

they also call this a "biscotto" in Italy lol: https://sportsfinding.com/in-italy-they-fear-the-biscotto/71994/
