Your fantasy championship (well, most of it) comes down to this. As you sweat it out (except for The Revanchist) be sure to have booze and snackies at the ready. You did some admirable work at the dinner table yesterday but now’s not the time to give up. Bear down! Quitting is for later, when it would be more convenient to do so.
TO THE GAMES!
Falcons/Chiefs:
Oh Atlanta secondary, we hardly knew ya. Since week 8, all the Chiefs wins have been by just one score. Maybe that streak gets done hard by today. The only interesting matchup for the Falcons would seem to be Ridley vs the secondary. He’s leading the league in most air yards and endzone looks the past month and K.C. has given up the 2nd-fewest points to wr’s all season.
Browns/Jets:
I’m guessing the pressure is off now for the Jets and they can roll over per usual and allow opposing teams to rub their fuselages. Mayfield is the 2nd-highest rated passer since week 7. Thanks, Kevin Stefanski!
Colts/Steelers:
Over the last three weeks Ben’s third down numbers are thus-16-35/154 with 0 TD’s and 2 INT’s. That’s a passer rating of 34.7. If the Steelers lose today their matchup with the Browns in week 17 will decide the AFC North-a thought that was unpossible a month ago.
Bears/Jags:
In true Truth Biscuit fashion, he’s going to muddle the hell out of the Bears qb situation this offseason. How’s he going to do it? By continuing to put up good numbers vs shitty teams and that’s happening again today. Since he got his job handed back to him his ypa is 8.4 and his passer rating is 112.7. Those are the hefty numbers expected when one beats down the Vikings and Texans.
Giants/Ravens:
Is Lamar rounding into shape? Yes, he’s played some lousy D’s but ever since his bout with Covid he’s raised his completion percentage from 58 to 67 and his yards per passing attempt is a healthy 9.2.
Bengals/Texans:
It’s a battle for draft position! Except that the Ghost of Bad Decisions haunts this tilt. [Fred takes mask off ghost] “WHHAA? Mr. O’Brien!!!”*

Jibber that jabber below.

Did the Browns really have any unbroken pieces of heart left coming into this week?
That ball never hit the ground though. Can’t it be called an unintentional hand-off?
That’s what I was wondering.
They should change that rule though for intentionally fumbling. They allow last play backwards laterals to hit the ground and they don’t stop the play.
Or forward fumbles – it shouldn’t be a “fumble” until it hits the ground.
THE FACTORY LIVES!
Well, I hate seeing PIT win, but glad that the IND loss helps my former favorite TX team, the used-to-be Houston Oilers. Burn in Hell, Bud Adams.
Happy Stillers fans. Ugh.
Leave it to the Jets to fuck up a tank in two weeks.
Now I’m imagining a fight between a jet and tanks crewed by dolphins.
Dolphins don’t need armor.

It would actually be pretty slick if the Jets just let the Browns score, just a blatant go for the draft pick while simultaneously being condescending as fuck to Cleveland
A loss won’t affect Jets’ draft position.
But it still means they have a chance if the jags somehow win next week
Very funny.
That was too close for comfort!
