NEWS/WHAT WENT DOWN:
-Falcons pick off Drew Brees in what would have been game winning drive. Get back into the playoff race
-Bills win in the slugfest of the year as a blizzard happens during the game. Deep snow. Colts RB Frank Gore ran the ball 36 times!
-Packers make comeback against Browns and end up beating Browns in OT. Browns fall to 0-13. Despite good play from Packers QB Brett Hundley, Aaron Rodgers is now recovered and will play this week. The Packers are 7-6 and still have a good shot at the playoffs, especially with Rodgers back
-Chiefs find themselves with big win over Raiders. Kareem Hunt is back!! 100+ yards and a TD. Chiefs look good in game but still need to beat out Chargers in close divisional race. Raiders loss puts them in a bad position of playoff likelyhood but there is still a chance.
-Cowboys look decent in big win over Giants. Playoffs likely out the window for Cowboys but they still beat the bad Giants team. Giants Eli Manning plays badly in first game back, should look at starting rookie QB Davis Webb because if they realize he can play, they might not have to draft a QB in the first round. Seems smart to me.
-Lions beat out Bucs in slugfest game. Lions still have huge uphill battle to make playoffs but its not out of the picture. Once hot looking Bucs season has just been a mess
-Panthers upset Vikings in big NFC playoff match. Eagles regain top position in NFC with Minnesota loss. Panthers looking like they will make playoffs now. Vikings even with bad loss still almost locks for post season
-49ers whoop Texans. Niners are now on 2 game win streak as QB Jimmy Garopollo is looking really good. Texans lose once again despite amazing game from WR DeAndre Hopkins.
-Broncos FINALLY snap their losing streak as they shutout Jets. Jets star QB Josh McCown breaks his hand in loss, out for the season.
-Chargers keep hot streak going as they demolish Redskins, Chargers beginning to look like serious playoff contenders.
-Cardinals upset Titans in slugfest.
-Jaguars beat Seahawks in huge game for both teams playoff picture. Jags looked great as their defense AND offense played well. Seahawks in the end make huge comeback but it falls just short as refs miss a pass interference call that would have put Seahawks in winning position. Jags now pretty much playoff locks. Seahawks likely have to win out to make playoffs which is doable. They play Rams at home this week, away against the Cowboys in week 16, and back at home against the Cardinals in week 17.
-Eagles win in the end of what was a very close game most of the game. Eagles lose star QB Carson Wentz to a season ending ACL tear. Even though the Eagles clinched playoffs with the win, they odds to win the Super Bowl take a major blow as Eagles will have to start QB Nick Foles who has had an up and down career but had his best year of football with the Eagles earlier in his career. Loss is big for Rams as they could have basically put their division on ice with win, now have to beat Seahawks in Seattle if they want division which will be hard.
-Steelers make comeback of the year and go on to beat Ravens in final minutes of the game as Steelers triple B's play amazing. Ravens almost had the upset.
-Bears whoop Bengals in slugfest game. Mitch Trubisky plays well.
-Dolphins upset Patriots as Jay Cutler outplays Tom Brady. Dolphins now have a chance at playoffs with win. Brady plays badly as he was sacked multiple times and got picked off twice by a young CB. Not something you see happen very often.

Thanks for reading!
