6-8 for 36 yards for Malik!

That's including lost sack yardage!

And Vikings win by 1 score after trailing in the 4th.

Is anyone surprised?

Houston turns it over at own 40.

Tennessee 4 and outs gaining 2 yards.

I'm so glad I don't have to watch this cesspool.

Patriots just scored a TD on 3rd and 29 from the Bengals 48 to make it close.

Pats missed yet another PAT and it's still a 4 point game.

The Giants just tied the game from down 8 in just a minute?

Is Minnesota just allergic to winning comfortably?

It's going down to a field goal huh

Bengals fumble the ball away are they actually going to blow this

Here comes the Vikings field goal.

Lions just doing their part to make sure all the cat teams make it to the playoffs.

And another team chokes to the Vikings by giving up 25 yards on 3rd and 11 with 17 seconds left.

And a 61 yard field goal that barely made it.

Gave up just enough to lose!

Eh that had room to spare

Lions winning their final 2 games would put them at a 70% chance to get in instead of 99% now

The Vikings still feel like a team that will get run off the field the moment they play a real team in the playoffs.

Patriots fumble the ball away near the goal line and the Bengals survive.

We're getting closer to Lions/Packers on SNF Week 18 in a winner take all scenario

Poor Lions

If the Giants lose at home to the Colts next week they deserve to go 8-8-1 and miss the playoffs.

Just leaves Washington.. Who still feels ticketed by 9-7-1 but who knows.

Titans defense imploding late.

They're going to lose 6 in a row, and still be playing for the division against the Jaguars week 18.

Amazing. What a Jaguars loss that would be.

Texans can ruin their #1 pick by beating the Jags next week in a game where the Jags essentially have nothing to play for.

Bears gotta make sure they keep tanking it out and hope the Jags just don't care enough!

Texans fail on the conversion so the Titans can still win in regulation

Wouldn't they have to double the passing yards they've had all game?

Like if the Titans win the tanking is super obvious ~

As expected, Washington's defense is giving the 49ers trouble, but the 49ers have still been able to move the ball. Washington's offense has gone backwards twice in two drives.

Nah, they've still got all their timeouts so they can still run

My biggest peeve about fantasy football was always the possibility of someone being gutter trash all year and fluking it through due to schedule whilst someone else could be amazing all year and get screwed by schedule. I've definitely been in the latter category multiple times* but this season is the first time I've been the former team. Total points wise I was 10th of 12th but made the playoffs after starting 8-2 off a really lucky schedule. I got through first round of the playoffs with a pretty low score and now I'm blowing out the 1 seed so far today (Thanks Hockenson and Foreman). So I'll probably make the finals despite totally not deserving it off 'body of work'. And this is a $1000 prize league.

*(I.e. scoring most points league wide but record not reflecting it or making the playoffs unbeaten / 1 loss and then losing to a terrible team. I once made the playoffs as the unbeaten 1 seed who outscored the league by a massive margin and then lost in the first round playoffs to a lucky loser on a tiebreaker after they made it due to someone not paying dues)

Texans do need to man down here and lock up another loss.

"Oops Henry ran for a 60 yard TD"

And the Titans immediately throw a pick after the 2 minute warning gg.

And Houston illegal formations on first down to give them a free timeout!

Another pick 6 by Dak huh.

Knew I shoulda changed that pick

Oh well, the injuries were finally too much for us. I honestly didn't expect us to do as well as we did when we were healthy, so that's hope for next year, at least.

Willis still has a long way to go though.

Are the Titans a bottom 5 team now?

With the team as presently constituted? Pretty close.

After going backwards its first two drives, Washington puts together a 17 play, 10 1/2 minute drive...For 0 points.

Cowboys in prime playoff form, hell yeah.

Eagles are still a really good team with Minshew at QB, so Dallas can definitely lose this

Oh so Dallas will just win by 20, get a swelled head, and lose their first playoff game.

Yes but they're also pretending today's a playoff game.

Washington picks up a turnover and is trying to even it out before halftime.

That's the one wincon I see for them. Points off of turnovers.

This game is barely even relevant and with how much the sports media has spent all week acting like it's the only game that exists my care has gotten even lower.

That was a 3 play TD drive for the Eagles if Minshew doesn't miss a wide open receiver for an easy TD.

Those are the things you lose.

Minshew with the Zach Wilson special overthrowing a wide open receiver with a minute left for an easy pick... And the defender flat out drops it.

Genuinely think Purdy is gonna end up being the best Mr Irrelevant ever

His only real competition is Succop tbh

Yeah I just looked and realized its literally just like, Ryan Succop >_>

Huh. Wouldn't have guessed that's a score that's never happened before now.

Every time Minshew makes a mistake,the Cowboys just aren't good enough to capitalize on it.

The Eagles look like a team that is never going to need to punt.

It took 3 TDs with 0 PATs!

Jags could be getting a second primetime game for the first time since 2011. And their first Sunday Night football game since 2008.

Washington/SF went about as expected. Washington held up for a while, but SF is just them.. Except better at everything.

I'm sure the NFL wants the surging Jags and the flailing Titans for Week 18...!

It's almost always third and long, and there's always some Eagle so open there isn't a single Cowboy on screen.

Don't know how Dallas managed to recover that fumble

Not that it matters because the Eagles pass rush is overwhelming Dak

Oh hey the T.Y. Hilton signing just paid off
