Could have done a better job in the willing department

Lions not the only heavyweight team that lost this weekend despite putting up good points.
RIP my fantasy team
That's why mums go to iceland
tbh, worthy has not developed as far as last year rookie. Chiefs will have it harder this year, also Bills are playing a bit better.
Had to be done I guess, given how Cousins has been playing lately.
Tampa has Cowboys, Panthers, Saints left on their schedule so should simply win out and clinch the division. Remains to be seen how Penix plays but hard to believe it's not an upgrade on what Cousins was doing the last few games. Can obviously see them winning at home against the Giants this weekend but they travel to Washington the week after, if they lose there and the Buccaneers beat the Panthers it's a done deal and the Buccs can even rest players for their Wk 18 game against the Saints (which the Saints will then win and we'll feck up our nice draft position because why not).
I also really hope the Ravens win against the Steelers on Saturday. They'd be tied at 10-5, splitting the season series with the same divisional record (3-2) as well in that scenario. Ravens still have to play the Browns in Week 18, Steelers are up against the Bengals. However, if they both win those games and end the season on the same 12-5 record, it goes to winning percentage in common games. The Ravens are 5-3 there with no games left, but the Steelers are 5-2 although - with their last remaining games against the... Chiefs next week. So they would need to win that one to hold the tiebreaker.
If they lose against the Ravens and Chiefs but win against the Bengals, they have to rely on the Texans to beat the Ravens on Christmas day to keep their hopes alive. Both would end with a 11-6 record, and the same 4-2 divisional record, and the same 5-3 record against common opponents. Then the next tiebreaker would be record in conference games: Ravens would be 7-5 but the Steelers would be 8-4 if they end the season L, L, W. That would mean that they'd have to beat the Bengals in Week 18 to get that tiebreaker over the Ravens.

Looking at the top 20 (all teams below that suck), not too bad a list imo.
I'd go
1. Bills
2. Lions
3. Ravens
4. Vikings
5 Eagles
6. Packers
7. Chiefs
8. Steelers
9. Bengals
10. Rams
11. Buccaneers
12. Chargers
13. Commanders
14. Broncos
15. Texans
16. Cardinals
17. Dolphins
18. Seahawks
19. Falcons
20. Niners
Only players with 10+ sacks and multiple TDs in a season:
JJ Watt 2014 (won DPOY)
Jason Taylor 2006 (won DPOY)
Demarcus Ware 2006
Not bad company to be in. I think TJ Watt will win it though.
An honorable mention for DPOY is Greenard he has been great for the Vikings both in terms of flashy stats but also at doing the dirty work.
Picked up an injury though so we’ll see how he finishes the last few games.
I would expect so, but as a Broncos fan it’s just great to see someone channeling Von Miller like Bonitto has done this year, hopefully he can keep it up.
He’s not been talked about enough in the general media discourse imo.
Pittsburgh may well lose their final four games (including last weekend's loss). I think Baltimore may take that division by default in this scenario, assuming they don't feck it up themselves.
We all heard about Woody being a bit of an idiot but he is outdoing himself.
Regular Season Week 16
New
How they decided to pick up the flag thrown for an inelligible man downfield is just crazy.
Herbert 4th qtr has been clutch. What a player
Fun seeing the free kick after the interference on the returner. Not seen that before
Broncos visit the Bengals and host the Chiefs in their last two games.
Really think it's gonna come down to that Chiefs game for them to make the playoffs now. Punting on 4th & 5 with 5:00 on the clock last night was a cowardly decision as well given how Herbert was playing, you just need to go for it there when you only need a FG to tie the game.

Reduced now to hoping the Raiders get the no1 draft pick.
Colts, Dolphins and Bengals all need to win out I believe?
If all of them lose on Sunday (or the two following weeks) Denver are in.
Woody: Load up Madden and give me the low down on this Diontae receiver...82!? Sign him up by gawd.
Bengals win out, Denver loses out is the scenario in which the Bengals will make it. Which definitely isn't a given that they win out obviously, they have you and the Steelers in the next two weeks.
I'm not really taking into account the Colts or Dolphins tbh.
Yea that seems the highest likelihood of Denver missing out.
If SP continues his dogshit playcalling then anything is possible.
Run. The. Damn. Ball.
A second string Chiefs team in Denver eliminating the Broncos and letting the Bengals into the playoffs to kick seven shades of shite out of the Bills in the Wildcard.
Won't KC continue playing starters to ensure home field advantage over the Bills? Also, Miami and Indy (both currently with better conference records than Cincy) have fairly easy remaining schedules so it's far from a lock Cincy will get in even if they win out and KC beats Denver.
Why not? Colts and Dolphins have better conference records than Cincy (5-5 vs 3-6). And their remaining schedules (especially Indy's) are far easier:
- Cincy - Browns, Broncos, Steelers
- Indy - Titans, Giants, Jags
- Miami - 49ers, Browns, Jets
We have a 2 game (1.5 with the head to head) advantage against the Bills so if we do the business then the last game is meaningless. And if the Bills drop a game (unlikely considering they have Pats x 2 and the Jets) then it's only 1 win required.
Miami aren't getting in because they aren't winning out with trips to Cleveland and New York in the cold. Indy can do it and have a very easy schedule on paper but I trust them to feck it up.
Just because I think they'll both feck up at least one game, but there's no further reasoning behind it tbh
And I just want Joe Burrow in the playoffs, not Anthony Richardson or Miami who would surrender before the game when they see the temperature in Buffalo mid-January...
Yup, Bengals would be far and away the most intriguing #7 seed. Nobody would fancy playing against Burrow in the playoffs.Just because I think they'll both feck up at least one game, but there's no further reasoning behind it tbh

Some interesting games today!
Great matchups. Go Texans!
Texans doing well against the Chiefs and Refs here
The "Refs" in question is Chief hating Carl Cheffers and his crew. They've already awarded them a TD after they failed to call the most blatant of holds. But don't let that get in your way of saying the refs give everything to the Chiefs.
