The Detroit Lions could not take down Max Brosmer and the Minnesota Vikings, officially ending their playoff hopes in 2025. this is a massive disappointment for the Lions after the success of recent years and a friendly reminder that things move fast in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys handled their business as well, but concerns about the defense will likely result in a firing as soon as the season ends. The Denver Broncos handled business against the JV Kansas City Chiefs, continuing their hold on the top seed in the AFC. The AFC North is one of the few playoff openings still undecided, but it looks like the Baltimore Ravens will head to take on the Green Bay Packers without Lamar Jackson, but the Packers could be without their top two passers as well. That means Snoop Huntley has a great chance to keep the Ravens alive. It won't matter though if the Pittsburgh Steelers handle the Cleveland Browns. The issue is, the Steelers have a weird tendency to mess up these games. Wild Card seeding is still up in the air too and the Houston Texans matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers could have a major impact on opening matchups, but the Texans defensive line should give them an advantage in this one. Staying in the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the hottest team in the league, but Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts will pull off a humbling upset this weekend. Finally, the San Francisco 49ers are one of the most underrated teams in the NFL and they can prove it by handling the Chicago Bears at home on Monday Night Football.

The NFL has a trio of games on their Christmas Day slate and we start with the Detroit Lions taking on the Minnesota Vikings in a game that represents the last shot for the Lions to save their season in what can only be described as a disappointing season in Mo Town. That game will impact the NFC playoff picture as the Green Bay Packers can clinch if the Lions lose again. The Packers, though, will need to beat the desperate Baltimore Ravens, who must get a win to stay alive, could be without their top two quarterbacks. The Denver Broncos take on a beaten down Kansas City Chiefs team as they look to bounce back and keep a hold on the AFC's top seed. that game will impact the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans as those teams fighting for seeding and matchups. Finally, in the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys look to finish strong against the Washington Commanders, but there are plenty of concerns about the status of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. We also look at the Seattle Seahawks against the Carolina Panthers as that game will help sort the NFC playoff picture.

The Minnesota Vikings took a major risk by committing to J.J. McCarthy this offseason and now that his season is over due to injury, it is time to look back on the whole season and admit McCarthy is a massive bust. Tyler was right about McCarthy, but also called the demise of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions along with having faith in the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars. However, there was a lot that Tyler got wrong this season like the New England Patriots and Houston Texans making the playoffs and Tyler Shough proving he is a NFL QB and the future of the New Orleans Saints. Finally, there are some things that remain unresolved like the fate of the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams. The Rams just made a major change to the coaching staff to try and reach their goals.

Philip Rivers return to the Indianapolis Colts made for a fun story, but it wasn't enough to stop their complete collapse from AFC favorite to out of the playoffs. A miserable end to the season, the opposite of the San Francisco 49ers, who clinched their playoff spot before the game even kicked off. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are still fighting for the AFC North, but now both teams are in uncertain positions with the status of two key players up in the air. For the Steelers, DK Metcalf was suspended for two games, but will appeal, after an incident with a fan. This comes when the Steelers need one more win to seal the playoffs. The Ravens, who lost Lamar Jackson on Sunday Night Football, could be missing him going forward with a back contusion. This could mean the end of John Harbaugh as Ravens coach if they miss the dance. In the NFC, two playoff spots are still up for grabs. A wild card spot for the Green Bay Packers or Detroit Lions, and then a divisional home game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Carolina Panthers. Who will grab these spots is the biggest question remaining in the NFL with two weeks to go.
