The battle continues; the constant grind to "win the last game of the season." (B Pitt, Moneyball)
Week 15 had some teams show their true colours.
Denver lost by a touchdown (and extra-point) to Pittsburgh, aiding the New England Patriots in clinching a first round bye in the AFC Playoffs. (We may not be engaged anymore, but I still revel in their losses; more so the ones that push the Patriots forward.)
New England destroyed the Tennessee Titans in Gillette Stadium. But who's surprised there?
New England also signed veteran running back (previously of the Atlanta Falcons) Steven Jackson, as LeGarrette Blount and Dion Lewis are still on injured reserve. They're not projected to move. Needless to say my NFL fantasy pools are ruined.
Green Bay Packers clinch a playoff spot, as the New York Giants lose (but only by 3) to the undefeated Carolina Panthers.
Giants will also lose their star receiver for Week 16; Odell Beckham has been suspended one game.
Cincinnati Bengals clinch a playoff run by defeating the San Francisco 49ers.
And the Arizona Cardinals clinch the NFC West Division with their win over the Philadelphia Eagles. It'll be the Cardinals first divisional title since 2009! So congrats there.
Unfortunately the lost Tyrann Mathieu with a torn ACL for the rest of the season though.
Still a couple weeks left to play, so let's see who'll be playing who to start off this season's playoffs!
