The Chiefs were 3-4. Mahomes had been figured out. Allen & Herbert had passed him up. The defense was historically bad. They were written off.

8 games later, they’re the only team in the AFC who has locked up a playoff spot & they’ve won the AFC West for the 6th straight year.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the NFC South for the first time since 2007.

No Mike Evans, no Chris Godwin, no Leonard Fournette, no problem for Tom Brady.

✅ Division title
✅ Home playoff game

Matthew Stafford is so inconsistent. Rams could win Super Bowl or lose in first round depending on how he plays in the postseason.

The Titans have 6 wins against the current playoff field, most in the NFL.

And yet, still overlooked.

The lack of protection will probably end up the #Bengals fatal flaw, but watching Burrow work the pocket over and over is like watching Salvador Dali paint.

You don't always understand what you just saw or how he does it, but know it changes everything.

The trend continues:

The #49ers are 7-0 this season when Jimmy Garoppolo doesn’t throw an interception. But they’ve only won one game when he throws a pick. Tonight, he threw two. #49wz #FTTB

From @RoobNBCS weekly observations:

" In NFL history, 294 teams have been 2-5. Sixteen of them have finished with a winning record. Nine of them have made the playoffs. What the Eagles are doing is truly remarkable.."

Give Sirianni a ton of credit

My mom always said “if you make that face, it’s going to get stuck like that.”

Well with this Raiders team I’m starting to worry my fingers will be stuck like this 🤞🏻😂. #RaiderNation

The Saints epitomize this crazy 2021 season so far...

Beat the Packers (9-3), Bucs (8-3) and Patriots (8-4).

Lose to the Giants (4-7), Panthers (5-7), Eagles (5-7) & Falcons (5-6).

And yet, somehow, they're still in the NFC playoff race.

Steelers’ 1st-half stats:
Last in average yards per play (3.5)
31st in total TDs (11)
31st in total first downs (116)
31st in scoring (6.7 points/1st half)

They also haven’t scored a TD in the 1st half over the last 5 games for first time since 1940. Inexcusably bad.

Browns heartbreaking losses this season:

-Chiefs (Chubb, Gillan fumble, Hill crazy TD)
-Chargers (scored 42 and lost, terrible PI call)
-Steelers (uncharacteristic Landry fumble)
-Ravens (4 ints, offense can't get it done)
-Raiders (last-second FG)
-Packers (Baker 4 picks)

🤯

The Jets have been officially eliminated. The league's longest active playoff drought is now 11 years, tied for the longest in franchise history (1970-1980).

It's as bad as it's ever been. #Jets
