It was simple in Atlanta. The winner of the Panthers vs Falcons would make the playoffs as the number four seed and the other would go home. The Panthers were all over the Falcons from the very beginning. The defense had no answer for Cam Newton. Matt Ryan was brutal as he threw two picks and they were both returned for touchdowns. Cam Newton had two total touchdowns as the Panthers continue their road to the playoffs. Their first game is against Arizona. It was simple for the Chargers. Win and they are in. They lost to the Chiefs without Alex Smith. The Ravens responded with a win and clinched the final seed. They were led by a bounce back game by Joe Flacco. The Packers beat the Lions to clinch the number two seed and the Lions will settle for a wild card. The Seahawks also defeated the Rams to win the number one seed. The Steelers won their division defeating the Bengals and now the Bengals are a wildcard. Aj Green had a costly fumble that led to an Antonio Brown touchdown catch and the Steelers division win.
The Cowboys had another big win and are rolling into next weeks playoff battle with the Lions. Demarco Murray became the Cowboys all time single season rush leader and Dez Bryant added two more touchdowns. The Colts also had a win and are getting ready for the playoffs. Andrew Luck tossed his 40th touchdown of the season. The Jets played their hearts out for Rex Ryan and had a big win over the Dolphins but it was not enough to save his job. The Giants lost to the Eagles in a close one but Odell Beckham Jr did his thing once again. Beckham had 185 yards , 12 catches , and another touchdown. Eli Manning tossed his 30th and finished off a fine season. The Bills beats the Patriots as there defense finished off a dominant season. Kyle Orton called it a career after with a nice season.
This is just a basic recap of what went on this week in the NFL. We will breakdown and predict each playoff matchup during the week. We will also have more on all if the head coach moves around the league.
