So many thrilling finishes and real playoff implications. It really deserves a thread. Teams with little to nothing to play for showing so much heart today unlike usual.
Cowboys game finish was epic and a huge confidence booster. So much heart to battle back down 35-28 with a long two-minute drive that culminated in the close TD conversion on 4th and 17, then the 2 point conversion to take the lead, then the special teams mistake, then the defense buckling down and not allowing the Giants a single yard to save the game and earn the 10 win season.
Then again, so was the Bears game. Playing with a vendetta to eliminate their hated rivals in Minneapolis, the Bears came to play on both sides of the ball, overcame some questionable calls to dominate wire-to-wire and win by two scores, knocking out the Vikings.
Eagles, just dominating on defense wire-to-wire and generating good offense in the second half to earn the playoff berth. Will it be Foles or Wentz next week in Chicago? STAY TUNED.
Seahawks and Steelers each with close, shaky wins that ended on a game winning field goal against bad teams playing for literally nothing. BUT.....
The Ravens proving their worth as the #1 defense by holding up in an exciting defensive finish against the suddenly-good Browns playing for late-season pride. Ravens have a running game and defense, and are as good as anyone in the AFC outside of the Chiefs.
Steelers fans and players staying in the arena late, only to watch their proxy team get beat when they were almost in field goal range. Steelers are eliminated from the playoffs, barring a Colts-Titans tie. Speaking of that, we actually have a very interesting win and in game tonight, which we don't get every year.
So many close, fun, exciting finishes, twists and turns, back and forth, unlikely outcomes. For once, this year's playoffs is going to be GREAT. It's bringing back NFL ratings BIG TIME. I feel like, for the first time in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time, that almost all 12 playoff teams have a legit shot at the Lombardi. Very good AFC this year for a change. You almost never see this, but this year? Anything's possible, and I LOVE IT.
