NEWS/WHAT WENT DOWN:
-Vikings look great in easy win over Bears, secure NFC 2 seed, will have first round BYE. Bears likely going to fire coach John Fox
-Juju Smith stars as Steelers hand Browns 16th loss of the season. 2nd team in NFL history to go 0-16. Will have picks no. 1 overall and no. 4 overall in upcoming draft. Keeping coach Hue Jackson (1-31) record as coach of Browns
-Cowboys beat Eagles in boring game, Eagles still secure NFC 1st seed and have a first round BYE
-Giants secure no. 2 pick in the draft even after winning, coaching search still going. Get 3rd win of season. Redskins expected to keep coach Jay Gruden despite bad recent seasons.
-Patriots easily beat Jets, take AFC 1 seed and first round BYE. Jets looking to rebuild this off-season, secure 6th pick in draft
-Colts easily beat Texans, after game fire coach Chuck Pagano. Colts secure 3rd overall pick in draft. Texans look horrible, would have 4th pick in draft if they didn't trade it to Browns last season.
-Lions beat Packers easily, show a little life, expected to keep coach Jim Caldwell. Lions secure pick 20 in draft. Packers finish bad season, secure 14th pick in draft.
-Blair Walsh may be worst player in NFL history. Misses another game winning field goal, Seattle misses playoffs for first time in 6 years. Cards look decent in win, had some help from some unfair ref calls. Hawks secure 18th pick in draft, Arizona gets pick 15. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians may retire or get fired.
-49ers easily beat Rams as they rest starters, Jimmy Garopollo caps amazing season, ends 5-0 as a starter. Garopollo is a free agent after the season. Niners will get 9th pick in draft. Rams take NFC 3 seed and will host Falcons next week in the wildcard round. RB Todd Gurley likely NFL MVP and Sean McVay likely coach of the year
-Chargers demolish Raiders, not enough to make playoffs though even after amazing season comeback from starting 0-4. Raiders fire promising coach Jack Del Rio, likely to go after all-time great coach John Gruden in attempt to get him out of retirement. Raiders secure pick 10 in draft.
-Patrick Mahomes has bad game starting in place of Alex Smith, Chiefs still win, secure AFC 4 seed. Will host Titans in playoff wildcard round. Broncos end horrible season, likely to fire 1st year head coach Vance Joseph. Broncos take pick 5 in NFL draft.
-Titans upset Jaguars, get AFC 5th seed playoff berth. Will play Chiefs in Kansas City next weekend in wildcard round. Jaguars secure AFC 3 seed, will host Bills in wildcard round.
-Buccaneers outlast Saints despite Alvin Kamara's great game, doesn't matter for Saints as they secure NFC 4 seed, will host Panthers in wildcard round next week, already beaten them twice this year. Bucs finish ugly season, will keep coach Dirk Koetter, take pick 7 in draft.
-Bills beat Dolphins and somehow end up in the playoffs!! Who saw that coming?! Bills will play in Jacksonville against the Jaguars next weekend in the wildcard round as their long playoff drought ends. Dolphins end horrid season, Jay Cutler likely will retire after this one.
-Bengals end Ravens playoff dreams, hard to believe but Ravens will miss the playoffs after I was almost SURE they would make it. Surprising day to see Bills and Titans make playoffs over hot teams like Ravens and Chargers. Bengals will have 12th pick in this draft.
-Falcons beat Panthers in slugfest game, secure NFC 6th seed. Will play Rams next week in L.A. Panthers still NFC 5 seed, will play Saints in New Orleans. NFC South has 3 playoff teams this year.
OPEN COACHING SPOTS:
Oakland Raiders: Fired Jack Del Rio, likely to sign all-time great John Gruden.
Indianapolis Colts: Unsurprisingly fire Chuck Pagano, will search for new coach
New York Giants: Fired Ben McAdoo weeks ago, still looking for new coahc
LIKELY STILL TO BE FIRED:
John Fox, Bears
Vance Joesph, Broncos
