I don't have any interest in the early or afternoon AFC games. I think it's mostly just jockeying for playoff positions. If the Chargers win, that might eliminate Indy and Cincy. If the Chargers and Broncos both win, it certainly would.
That's about all the intrigue I can come up with...
AZ (7-8) at LAR (9-6)
The Cards wind up with another crappy season, but I hope they'll play for pride and relish a spoiler role for their division foes.
The Rams have been getting hot over the last 4 weeks and I'd figure them to have a distinct advantage in this game.
I'll still root for the Cards.
** Edit** Since we now know that Seattle won, the Rams need to win to stay a game ahead of them. If they lose, it's going to create a winner-take all showdown.

Fuckin Cardinals. Need them to win. I want Seattle to win that division.
Personal reasons....12-1 odds vs 3-1 for the Rams
Believe it or not I won tickets to that Rams Cardinals game and will be there cheering on the Rams. Sorry Boss.
AZ-LAR will be simulcast on KPNX (NBC/12) Phoenix and KCBS (CBS/2) Los Angeles
I don’t have the NFLN so no game watching for me today. NFLFU!
Drake Maye knocked out of game on Patriots first drive.
Chargers followed that with a beautiful td pass for a 7-0 lead.
Brissett now in at QB for the Pats and went nowhere on his first drive.
Game day 3 of the week with nothing but terrible NFL games and it's still not even Sunday
Wow....just awful football games since Christmas.
The NFL is going to still have decent ratings on these games. They are going to prove that people will watch football anytime (including the holidays) even if the product is terrible.
The Patriots have entered the "I just want this game and season to end without getting hurt stage"
There are awful games every week. You don't see them because there aren't a gazillion games on where you are unless your in a sports bar that will show every game. Tell me you watched the Browns at the Jaguars in week 2 and the Dolpins at the Seahawks in week 3.
Bengals Broncos is gonna be good. It’s everything on the line football week 17.

Let’s hope it is a nail biter.
There's Miami v. Iowa State, I guess. 3 possessions, 3 touchdowns.

I saw 7-0 but had to see a replay of the TD pass & catch....I stopped watching.....next time I looked at TV it was 27-7.....walked away. Ran some errands....came back to TV.....37-7 and Herbert on the bench.
That's me "watching" the Chargers vs. Pats. So if that's the "ratings" the NFL is looking for....mission accomplished, I guess.
Did I see that 65 million tuned in on Netflix?

LOL! Same here, basically.
I took stuff to the recycling center at halftime and it was 20-7, IIRC.
The game was over by the time I got back, but when I saw the final was 40-7, I knew it was nothing but a glorified scrimmage for the Bolts.
So yeah, I may have been "watching"... 'cept I really wasn't.
My TV has not been on all day and won't be on until tonight. No "ratings" from me today unless checking ESPN online a couple times counts
Cincy/Denver is a good game.....
Yes. Bengals Broncos was going to be good. Finally a good watch.
@Dave in GA posted:Cincy/Denver is a good game.....
Bo Nix just threw a 70 yard dart and hit a guy in stride.
Been the best game this weekend so far eh?? Now, come on Joe, you the man baby. 🥰
Payton was just dying to challenge that. He’s gonna lose another TO.
That's some hot take, ChilliJon.
INT!! Cincy!!
After the INT by Cinci.....Burrow winks at Bo Nix and says....."Hey Kid....watch this....." 😉Then throws a strike to Jamar Chase!! First down at Broncos 20!
Injury on the play really saves Denver's bacon, at least for the time being.
Bengals RB gets hurt trying not to score and gives the Broncos a chance to get another possession.

I don't understand why the Bengals don't have the option to run off 40 seconds before they are forced to use their timeout for injury.
I hope Denver pulls it out just because of how badly that guy failed to slide.
Denver driving!!!!
Bengals may rue their red zone decisions today. Gave up a sure 2 FG’s in the first quarter instead failing twice on fourth down, now failing to milk more clock on that TD drive. Should’ve ran the ball one more play.
HOLY SHIT!!!
Ghost of Dick Rodgers
Holy shit what a catch
That’s a fucking touchdown!
OMG.....what a fucking catch.
I just don't understand why the Bengals scored the TD. The play before the RB went down on purpose.
All the shitty football since Christmas....this game has made it all worth it
Awful play calling by Bengals to finish regulation
Come on Bengals, hold ‘em
Fuck Sean Payton!
