NFL Week 16

Week 16 of the NFL season is important for some teams because it shapes the playoff picture and makes it clearer. There were several teams who had chances to clinch a playoff spot. The game between the New York Giants and the Buffalo Bills was important to the Giants because the Giants clinches a playoff spot with a victory. They came out and looked completely flat, falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter. But they turned it on the rest of the game in bad conditions and won 38-21. Kevin Everett, the Bills backup tight end who was paralyzed in week 1 after a tackle, made it to the game walking perfectly fine. It was definitely comforting to the Bills team and the fans. Another game with playoff implications was the game between the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals. The Browns, with a victory, had a chance to clinch a playoff spot with a victory as well. But the Browns didn't get the job done as quarterback Derek Anderson threw four interceptions as the Browns lost 19-14. The Tennessee Titans victory over the New York Jets now put them in a good position to make the playoffs. All they have to do is beat the Indianapolis Colts next week to clinch. The Browns have to beat the San Francisco 49ers and have the Titans lose to make it. The game between the Washington Redskins and the Minnesota Vikings had important implications for both teams as well. All the Vikings had to do was win both games and they make the playoffs. But the Vikings couldn't get the job done either. They lost 32-21, opening the door for the Redskins. All the Redskins have to do is win against the Dallas Cowboys next week to make it. The Vikings need a victory against the Denver Broncos and a Redskins loss to make it. Who will make the playoffs? Who goes into the playoffs with the most momentum?
