Vikings came through when it mattered there on both sides of the ball
One of the most satisfying wins of the season. Most weeks we’ve had a lead to defend in the 4th quarter - felt less nerve-wracking to be the team chasing down a lead. Cardinals are well coached though.

How much longer do the Ravens stick with Justin Tucker? I know he’s a legend but his record this year is bad and isn’t getting better.

Huge win for the Eagles. The Lions might be 15-1 and could still be fighting for the division and #1 seed come week 18

Detroit have become masters of clock management in the 4th quarter. As soon as the Packers had to settle for the FG with 5 minutes left on the clock it looked inevitable that the Lions would run the clock down and win with a FG. Think only Andy Reid and the Chiefs do it as well as Campbell/Johnson and the Lions.

Still a way to go but there could be some excellent matchups for the wildcard weekend - especially if the Packers slipped down to the 7 seed but that probably requires the Vikings and/or Seahawks to beat them and the Commanders to win their remaining games.

With 17 defensive players out that was an impressive win. As Campbell said "next man up." That culture is the real deal and it makes me proud having come out of Detroit, myself. Watched misery for my entire life and I'm still in disbelief, at times.

Sam Darnold for MVP.

That’s a stretch obvs, but he really has been fantastic this season and today he’s been awesome.

The guy who bet $4 million on the Eagles to win has probably aged 10 years in the past hour.

Vikings needed a comfortable win. Too many close games lately.
That turnover on the kick off return was massive. The defence looked knackered on the previous Falcons drive so to give them an extra break and force Atlanta to move away from the ground game was pivotal.

So pretty much a 4-13 inbound for Bears.....

Remember when Nagy came in, he turned us from a team who finished 4th, 4 years in a row to winning the division. Going to have to hope whoever we hire can have a similar sort of impact, as this will be 3 years on the trot we finish last place.

1st pick territory now for the Raiders and now that O'Connell looks crocked for the season then our chances of securing it look decent although we do play the Jags at home coupled with the Giants looking fucking hopeless.

Looks Prime (pun intended) for Sanders to be selected.

The Chiefs have to be the luckiest team alive.
If they weren’t coming off back to back superbowls you wouldn’t trust them in a playoff game against any of the other 6 likely AFC players teams, let alone whoever wins the NFC. But as they are coming off that, Mahomes has at least been very good at putting them in position to win these tight games, and Andy Reid remains one of the very best HCs we’ve seen, then you half expect them to keep this run of tight victories going right through to another SB.
