Summary

The Detroit Lions could not take down Max Brosmer and the Minnesota Vikings, officially ending their playoff hopes in 2025. this is a massive disappointment for the Lions after the success of recent years and a friendly reminder that things move fast in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys handled their business as well, but concerns about the defense will likely result in a firing as soon as the season ends. The Denver Broncos handled business against the JV Kansas City Chiefs, continuing their hold on the top seed in the AFC. The AFC North is one of the few playoff openings still undecided, but it looks like the Baltimore Ravens will head to take on the Green Bay Packers without Lamar Jackson, but the Packers could be without their top two passers as well. That means Snoop Huntley has a great chance to keep the Ravens alive. It won't matter though if the Pittsburgh Steelers handle the Cleveland Browns. The issue is, the Steelers have a weird tendency to mess up these games. Wild Card seeding is still up in the air too and the Houston Texans matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers could have a major impact on opening matchups, but the Texans defensive line should give them an advantage in this one. Staying in the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the hottest team in the league, but Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts will pull off a humbling upset this weekend. Finally, the San Francisco 49ers are one of the most underrated teams in the NFL and they can prove it by handling the Chicago Bears at home on Monday Night Football.
