If the NFL didn’t want the game to matter next weekend, they call in and tell them to throw it. But there’s a big game at stake so they let it ride.

This is why the nfl sucks now. They literally can and do influence games based on what they want, they use mainly holding, questionable RTPs, and PI to do it.

This game was terribly officiated but also the Steelers flat out didn’t do enough to win.

The more they got into betting and the more the mafia got into sports, the more fuckery like this was gonna happen.

Or this is just like every other game where you often dont see 50-50 calls made when the game is on the line. I think the Saints would like to have a conversation about what is or is not pass interreference.

It’s fucking depressing tbh. Football was so good in the 2000s and early 2010s. Now it’s just “this football related thing brought to you by DRAFTKINGS” everywhere you look for football content.
 
Eagles up early 7-0 over Buffalo. Remember, New England can clinch the AFC East if Philly wins, this would lock Buffalo into a wild card spot and a potential opponent for whoever wins the AFC North.

If Buffalo loses this game they wont have the tiebreakers over the other 2 teams so they are far more likely to be the 6 or 7 seed than the 5 seed.

Edit: I played a little with the playoff machine and its actually weirder. If the Chargers beat Broncos next week that makes NE the 1 seed and Buffalo wont have the tiebreakers. If the Broncos win somehow the Bills get the tiebreaker and are the 5 seed so who knows how that works out.
 
Giants are leading the Tank Bowl 27-10 over the Raiders. Looking like the Raiders are on their way to locking up the first overall pick.

Good play there by Buffalo to extend the drive on 4th down. Threw it short, then the receiver threw it to another player who ran it for the 1st. Good creative play there.
 
Drake Maye becomes the 4th QB to win the AFCE since realignment in 2002.

The 4th different QB to lead their team to the AFC East Title. Chad Pennington did it twice with two teams, 2002 with the Jets then 2008 with the Dolphins. Then Tom Brady, Josh Allen and now Drake Maye.

I saw her put NFCE and I was like wait a minute, did Maye sweep the entire NFC East?
