- Raiders pull a Chargers against the Chargers in OT despite Chargers pulling a Chargers to get to OT
Marcus Mariota takes over after a Derek Carr injury and does what he does: play one very good game every three years to convince you he’s a good QB. He also threw a hell of a pick to Chris Harris Jr, whose last INT was off Mariota when the Broncos shut out the Titans last year. San Diego should have won in regulation but they can’t hit a kick to save their lives. The Chargers are good for one season-ruining surprise win over a superior division opponent per year, and if it’s not your year you think it’s hilarious, and if it is your year, it’s just miserable. - Bills over Broncos
You know, this shit is just depressing. In life I often expect the worst so that I’m not let down when things go wrong, but my therapist wants me to try and expect good things and accept that feeling sad and let down is better than always feeling like everything’s hopeless. I don’t think she’s ever heard of John Elway. But at least we’re helping eliminate the Patriots. - Packers over Panthers
Aaron Rodgers is now the first QB to ever have 3 seasons with 40+ touchdown passes. Honestly, I like the NFL so much better when he’s good. - Titans over Lions
If you’re naughty Santa will leave a Derrick Henry stiff arm in your stocking. I would be pretty excited by the day Ryan Tannehill had if I was in the fantasy football playoffs. - Colts over Texans
Maybe I should trade for Deshaun Watson on my Madden franchise… - Buccaneers over Falcons
Another total collapse from Atlanta, and it’s hard to know what to even say about what they’re doing at this point. This seems to go deeper than head coach. The team may have to relocate to shake this curse. - Dolphins over Patriots
It wasn’t pretty for 3 quarters, but the Dolphins got poetic justice by being the team to officially eliminate New England. May this day completely reset the tone of the AFC East for years to come, and may Miami wear their throwback uniforms more often. - Bears over Vikings
The Bears might actually be better with Trubisky than without him, which should be illegal. The Vikings have let the Bears take back over their spot on the playoff bubble, which should also be illegal. - Cowboys over 49ers
I switched my pick last-minute and nobody will ever know or care because nobody sees my football content. Shoutout to CeeDee Lamb for one of my favourite plays: the onside kick return TD! - Seahawks over Team
Thank god I can just casually appreciate the Washington Team uniforms now. Again, the franchise is still evil garbage, but they don’t have that damn caricature logo. Seahawks clinch, so the first three teams in the playoffs for the NFC are my faves. - Ravens over Jaguars
Lol I said this would be a surprisingly close one. [Narrator voice] It wasn’t. - Jets over Rams
HUGE win for the Jaguars and the Seahawks! Going 0-16 is hard. There’s been a lot of bad teams in the NFL and there’s a reason only 2 of them have done it. Still, it did feel like the Jets and 2020 were a perfect combination for a winless campaign. How humiliating for the Rams. Never would have guessed. - Cardinals over Eagles
A beautiful fucking shootout and I barely watched any of it. I just don’t have time for football the way I used to. - Chiefs over Saints
The Saints left 5 points on the board when they failed to corral a fumble in the end zone and instead got a safety at the end of the half. They lost by 3. Shaky-is return by Drew Brees. Right back to where we were before he got hurt. - Browns over Giants
The Browns have 10 wins. In one year!! I think from the time I started watching football, it took the Browns 4 years to hit ten wins, and then another 3 years to hit 20. It gives me hope. I may be a failure, but that doesn’t mean I always will be. - Bengals over Steelers
HA! The best thing in the world is the sight of Roethlisberger failing. It can’t really be said that the Steelers were overrated at 11-0 because everyone expected this collapse from them. Maybe not quite to this extent but we all knew the other shoe would drop.
