Regular Season Week 16

So many things are happening in week 16! We’ve got games on Christmas Eve, Christmas day and Chanukah (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday!) Happy, Happy, Merry, Merry to you and yours! I’ve made it to the Champions bracket in my fantasy league and will be playing for first place! Who would’ve thought that would’ve happened especially thinking that I wasn’t playing fantasy at the beginning of the season. Week 15 was another great week of football. The Giants continue to win, I went 12-4 in my picks, and I won again in fantasy!

Here’s the recap.

Rams @ Seahawks 3-24

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the uniforms for the Thursday night games are hideous. The Seahawks looked like they were right out of 1983. It’s no wonder they won, being that they blinded the Rams on and off the field. I mean LA didn’t have a chance.

Dolphins @ Jets 34-13

The Jets made the Dolphins look GOOD. This game was not fun to watch, kinda depressing actually and I’m not a Jets fan. I just feel sorry for the team.

Titans @ Chiefs 19-17

Mr. Irrelevant is making the Titans relevant again and making Chiefs fans upset everywhere. For those of you who don’t know “football talk” Mr. Irrelevant is the title they give to the guy who gets picked very last in the draft each year. Ryan Succop, Tennessee’s kicker just happened to be that guy one year, but he kicked the game winning field goal to beat KC this week. 

Steelers @ Bengals 24-20

The Bengals were close to the win, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Lions @ NY Giants 6-17

You know, when Eli actually starts playing well the Giants are going to be unstoppable. Thank God for the Giants DEFENSE! Oh yes, OBJ’s one-handed grab for a touchdown helped a lot! YAY GMEN!!!!!

Colts @ Vikings 34-6

AP is back for the Vikings but you wouldn’t have known that looking at this score. Is anyone else surprised? I know I was shocked, happy, but shocked with the outcome. (I have Luck, Gore, and Hilton on my fantasy team)

Jaguars @ Texans 20-21

The Texans bench their starting QB (because he’s horrible) and they still beat the Jags. Maybe they should have benched Osweiler sooner. The Jags were so mad at this loss that they fired their head coach BEFORE the flight back to Florida. Ouch.

Packers @ Bears 30-27

I mean, I picked the Packers to win but I was rooting for the Bears because it would help the Giants in the playoffs. With all that said, I was also happy that Nelson caught that deep ball at the end of the game to set up the game winning field goal. Nelson is also on my fantasy team.  

Browns @ Bills 13-33

With a Bills win over the Browns Rex Ryan lives to coach another Buffalo game.  

Eagles @ Ravens 26-27

Ravens, you make me proud.

49ers @ Falcons 13-41

Am I the only one who is quite tickled that the 49ers are doing so badly this year?

Saints @ Cardinals 48-41

Fun fact: this was the highest scoring game this season. You’re welcome.  

Raiders @ Chargers 19-16

With this win the Raiders clinch a playoff berth for the first time in 14 years.

Patriots @ Broncos 16-3

The Pats win another game, blah blah blah.

Buccaneers @ Cowboys 20-26

Emotions ran high for the Bucs QB and frustration came out. It may be Winston’s second season but he’s still playing like a rookie. It was a close game. Winston, I think I was just as frustrated watching the Cowboys pull off another win.

Panthers @ Redskins 26-15

Holy Panthers Batman! And thank you Carolina! In other news, Kirk Cousins, who is usually so cocky, lost his cool, and the ball a couple times to help the Panthers win.
