Well, here we are. The unprecedented 18th week. Or at least, the unprecedented week of 17th regular season games, since there were 18 weeks and 2 byes one year in I think the 80s. A lot of records will be set this weekend, but I absolutely hold that they don’t actually count — with one exception. As much of a tool as TJ Watt seems, when he breaks the sack record, it will have been in 16 games, since he missed one earlier this season. And that’s without mentioning that Strahan’s record is a sham in the first place. Bruce Smith Supremacy!
Meanwhile, the Broncos will be the first team to officially enter the offseason, as the only eliminated team playing Saturday, so bless up for that. Put us out of our misery. In the AFC there are a million playoff scenarios but they mostly depend on the Colts losing in Jacksonville — though that is something they’ve done the last 6 years straight. That’ll leave the 49ers to leave the door open or not for the Saints, and the Saints to walk through it or not, before the Chargers and Raiders play what is essentially an extra playoff game on Sunday Night. God peed, everyone.
