Quote: billryanThe football gods must be smiling. A wild weekend set up the last week of the season as ratings magic. Fresh from its historical shootout win over Da Bears , the Niners meet Seattle Saturday night in prime time for the NFC West title. If Frisco wins, they play at home until they lose.
With the Ravens winning at Green Bay and the Steelers losing to Cleveland, the stage is set for the last game of the regular season Sunday night- Baltimore vs Pittsburgh. Winner moves one, the loser goes home.
Playoffs start early this year.
Sunday also featured a heavyweight battle, with the Eagles and Bills slugging it out in a rainstorm. Josh Allen's magic scored a last-second TD, but the team went for a two-point conversion for the win instead of kicking for the tie.
Meanwhile, the Giants flashed signs of how good they can be if the other team doesn't show up, crushing the Raiders and handing them the #1 Draft pick.

Am I mistaken( I sure could be as I don't watch much NFL)? I thought the Panthers-Bucs game this week also determined which team went to the playoff and who goes home.

Maybe. If the Falcons win, the Panthers win the division regardless of the outcome of the Bucs Panthers game. You have to brush up on your NFL tiebreaker rules.
In a ‘you can’t fix stupid’ moment, the Vanderbilt punter apparently doesn’t know the rules for punting! He ran a few yards over the line of scrimmage, and instead of trying to run for the first down, he then punts. Five yard penalty from previous spot. Down counts. Quick TD for Iowa. I’ll bet there is NO WAY the punter would have qualified academically for Vanderbilt…. if the football team actually goes to any classes…
