Jamison Crowder yeeted up one of the stranger fumbles of the season, which is just about right for Washington.

Cris Collinsworth has never been afraid to speak his mind while calling some of the biggest NFL games each week, which often leads to lots of fans being annoyed by something he says during a broadcast. 
That continued on Saturday when he and Mike Tirico were in the booth for the Bills–Chargers showdown at SoFi Stadium. The former wide receiver got rambling about NFL backup quarterbacks, which led to him saying that many are “fat” because they don’t get a lot of reps during practice each week
For real. He said that.

Green Bay goes up big, hangs on late to defeat Panthers, 33-30

Geno Smith hadn’t done much, but came up big when Seattle needed it.

The 49ers, Lions, Ravens, Eagles and Cowboys have clinched playoff berths, and three more teams can clinch this week with nine more playoff spots are available.

Fox Sports analyst and NFL great Terry Bradshaw crushed Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith for reneging on his decision to name Desmond Ridder as the team’s starting quarterback, presumably for the remainder of the season.
Both Ridder and Taylor Heinicke have led the Falcons offense at different points this season. But after the Falcons’ bye in Week 11, Smith pivoted to Ridder on the heels of three uneven performances by Heinicke.
But on Tuesday, Smith announced his decision to start Heinicke in the Falcons’ Week 16 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The best passer on the Tennessee Titans roster might not be a quarterback. 
During the second quarter of the Titans’ Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks, they pulled out some trickery on a trip to the red zone, opting to have star running back Derrick Henry attempt a pass. The play worked out exactly as Tennessee hoped, as Henry lofted a 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo.
It was the Titans’ first touchdown pass since Dec. 10, as Tennessee failed to record one last week against the Houston Texans.

The early read on the news that New York Jets coach Robert Saleh, general manager Joe Douglas and most of the important power players of 2023 will be returning next year (as reported by the New York Post) is a predictable one.
The easy take is that Saleh, Douglas and the lot are so intimately tied with Aaron Rodgers that there is no way to separate them. Rodgers plans to return next season and beyond, or at least that’s what he tells his weekly television partner during the Big Thinker Variety Hour.

An unsuspecting NFL photographer caught a stray football to the face in the Washington Commanders—New York Jets on Sunday, adding a lighthearted wrinkle to a one-sided first half.
Deep in Washington’s territory on a 3rd-and-9, Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian was looking for tight end Tyler Conklin in the end zone, but Conklin couldn’t quite get his hands on the pass. The ball whistled through the air and found a very different target instead: The orange beanie of a cameraman who was just trying to take close-up pictures of the game.
Talk about an occupational hazard.
