NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Houston dumps the Bengals, 12-10.

 

This is incorrect. The Bucs are eliminated from the playoffs. After the Texans won last night it bumped the Packers up to a Strength of Victory number 1 win higher than the Bucs can achieve without being eliminated from the playoffs.

 

Well, isn't that nice. NFL.com doesn't do a very good job it appears.

 

Pittsburgh marches down the field and takes a 7-0 lead... 7 minutes to go 1st quarter.

 

Lions-Packers tilt flexed to 'SNF' in Week 17 ...

 

Ravens get a fg in answer... 7-3.

 

14-7 Ravens. 3rd qtr.

 

Make that 14-10... good game.

 

End of 3 quarters... 17-10, Ravens and their knocking on the door.

 

Good stop by the Steelers... held them to a FG, 20-10.

 

Bell! 20-17.

 

Steelers defeat the Ravens, 31-27. That was fun.

 

Wow. Ravens FB has the run of the year but Steelers respond. Antonio Brown saved them. I don't get why people are complimenting Ben on that throw. He almost cost them the game. Brown saved him. If he didn't reach in on the short pass as he was tackled then the time was surely running out with them inside the 1 and down 3.

 

No playoffs in Baltimore for third time in four years. I can't imagine there would be any talk of any changes in management would there? Team has been too successful even with the past two seasons. Mike Lombardi seemed to suggest he would thinks there could be changes.

Ben hasn't been super impressive since Deflategate.

 

Management should be fine but the seat warmers have been turned on and it should be hot next season

 

For you maybe I'm just now getting my breath back lol. I always like games like this as long as its not my team in them. When its my team playing its way to nerve racking.

 

I love games like this as long as my team wins.

 

I like these games when I can tolerate one of the teams winning . What do you think of Steelers defense by the way? I find it hard to trust them since the Tebow playoff game.
