For some teams, it’s about seeding. For others, it’s about survival.
On Sunday, we watched the Colts win a key game at home over the Buccaneers, giving Gardner Minshew II and Shane Steichen their third consecutive win. Indianapolis’ push has it holding the seventh seed in the AFC playoff picture.
The Colts are the AFC’s seventh seed behind Minshew, who has filled in for Anthony Richardson.
Even though they didn’t play Sunday, the Bears still got a much-needed win-by-proxy in Tennessee.
The Eagles are just the fourth team in league history to come back and win four straight games after trailing at halftime. They topped the Bills in OT 34-31 on Sunday night.
Chargers (4-7) coach Brandon Staley is a ‘dead man walking’ as calls ramp up for team owner Dean Spanos to fire the HC.
Here to remind us of the pain to come for Staley were fans chanting “Fire Staley” at So Fi Stadium in primetime Sunday night.
LA fell early to the dominant Baltimore Ravens (9-3), prompting chants from the fans.
GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN – NOVEMBER 19: Head coach Brandon Staley facing the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
The Chargers’ offense struggled throughout most of Week 12’s game against the Ravens on Sunday Night Football, prompting offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to turn to some trickery with his play calling.
In a third-and-17 situation, Moore called for an unexpected and clever trick play that featured a back pass from Keenan Allen to Austin Ekeler, on which the offense was able to pick up the first down and keep the drive alive.

Growing up as the son of a high school football coach, Kellen Moore collected playbooks. He would scour the internet for every single playbook he could find, whether they came from Air Raid systems, run and shoot offenses, or anything else he could find.
Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens Moore, now the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, dug deep into that wealth of knowledge for a critical third-down conversion.
The Eagles staged a dramatic comeback win against the Bills on Sunday, thanks in large part to kicker Jake Elliott, who nailed a game-tying 59-yard field goal to force overtime.
Philadelphia went on to win, 37–34, and after the game, star cornerback Darius Slay was full of praise for the clutch-kicking performance from Elliott.
Speaking to reporters in the locker room after the Eagles improved to 10–1, Slay called Elliott one of the best kickers in the league, and the second-most athletic player on the team.
The Raptors had a chance to tie the game with 10 seconds left but Gary Trent Jr. stepped out of bounds.
Leonard’s cleared waivers and is rumored to be targeted as a free agent by multiple contenders.
Some teams find a way to win and the Philadelphia Eagles definitely are one of those. Some, like the Buffalo Bills, not so much this season.
The Eagles just completed their fourth consecutive win in a game they trailed at halftime. They came back from a 10-point deficit and walk away from a 37-34 overtime victory with the NFL’s best record at 10-1.
So everything we’ve seen from the Eagles this season says, no, screams this is a team likely to play deep into January and perhaps even in February.
