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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Injury on the play really saves Denver's bacon, at least for the time being.

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.

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.

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
