The Texas loss was huge for them. They could have taken control of a bye.

Hoping 20º weather gives Saints slight crack in possibility of 1 seed.

I will take the Rams D vs Bears O over Bears D vs Rams O w/ Gurley.

KC needs to send a gift basket to the Dolphins...two games up on the Patriots for home field throughout the AFC playoffs (pending this tough Thursday night game against the Chargers).

Seeding in the AFC is going to be interesting. KC probably has a choke hold on #1, but the rest is up in the air. The Chargers are probably going to be a scary #5 who could win WC weekend.

He is....the World's Most Versatile Man.

Raiders take the lead, and here comes the Drama Queen to save the day. I don’t think there’s enough money in the world for me to have wagered on this very scenario.

Chargers are rolling!

How about a Chargers vs Pats AFCC ..Brady vs Rivers

What about a Saints vs Chargers SB ...Brees vs Rivers or Rams vs Chargers SB ...freeway game SoCal

I’m down for that

Anyway how great is it to see a SoCal NFC and AFC team in the playoffs

Freeway game, technically it’s the battle of the stadium even though neither are there yet.

Thank you Raiders. Slightly more breathing room, but I’m hoping for a win next week in Pittsburgh.

I would be more worried about the Texans passing you up than Pittsburgh

What a day in the AFC North

Steelers and Ravens lose

So the standings between the two still remain the same

The AFC North has really become the anything can happen schedule

Thank god Philly and Dallas is OT..what a lousy officiating game

Some unexpected outcomes today.

At this point, yeah since they just have @Jets, @Eagles and Jags left. I’m expecting them to go 3-0 or 2-1 at worst which means the Pats need to do the same.

They’ll more than likely be one and done in the playoffs , but with Watson..who knows might advance

And another in big D

But wait we still got a hell of a SNF and MNF matchup to go

As for the Pats faithful..I have a question what the hell was #23 doing for Special Teams on the Miami Miracle never mind Gronk botching . Watch the play and you’ll see what I mean

Five in a row for Dallas. That defense is legit, and Amari Cooper looks like he is worth the haul Jerruh gave up for him; for some reason, he and Dak have chemistry that Dez never had with Dak (though, to be fair, Dez was injured...and more of a physical specimen who relied on his athleticism whereas Amari seems to a better route runner).

But Dak’s lack of ball security is worrisome.

At least I don’t have to see Green Bay knock Dallas out again like they did in 2015 and 2017 (Dez caught the ball).

Dallas , the Chargers , and Texans are the teams that can be scary in the playoffs

24 degrees in Soldier Field for Rams

This is like the third Rams game I’ve watched where McVay has called for a fake on special teams. I know they did it against the Vikings, because I specifically remember that game because that’s where I learned that during a pass a fake punt, by rule, pass interference cannot be called on the defense. Ive been watching NFL football for more than 30 years and I never knew that. I think they did it against the Chiefs as well, and tonight against Chicago.

EDIT: And as I was slowly typing this post on my phone, Al Michaels has confirmed that the Rams have called fake plays in special teams a lot. Their opponents in the playoffs better be ready.

Since Heckler joined the team ..his speciality in his past career

The refs sure are blowing this game.
