Summary

Aaron Rodgers came up CLUTCH for the Pittsburgh Steelers and led them not only to a game-winning drive, but a division championship. Now, Rodgers gets a matchup who he be able to neutralize in the playoffs and the Steelers have a real shot in the green AFC. For the Baltimore Ravens, a loss not only knocks them out of the playoffs, but also brings up questions about Lamar Jackson and John Harbaugh's futures. The Atlanta Falcons kicked off 'Black Monday' in the NFL a little early, firing head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot in a stern cleaning of house. While Fontenot deserved his ousting, it is a small surprise to see Morris go after finishing the season strong. In the NFC South, the Carolina Panthers won the division by default after the Falcons beat the New Orleans Saints. Even after losing themselves to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. The Panthers aren't serious threats and drawing a rematch with the Los Angeles Rams doesn't help. In the west, the Seattle Seahawks won the division and the top seed, giving the San Francisco 49ers a rough match with the Philadelphia Eagles and setting up an NFC North rematch with the Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers. In the AFC, the Denver Broncos held on for the top seed, leaving the New England Patriots to the second slot. This creates a great matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars!
