Week 17 NFL This Week

And it will be time for these stars teams to settle it. He is going to

fire towards the end zone -- two teams. Looking downfield, going

deep. Unbelievable! How did he do that? Cart! For the win.

Unstoppable. Happy New Year to you all,

welcome to NFL This Week. A week on and Osi is back

in the house, Cleveland are still partying following their first win

in 12 months, and it's the final round of the regular season

with season defining games that will make, or in some cases,

break playoff dreams. It is going to be hard. In the NFL

it is hard every week. They know how to go out and get

tough. You never give up. So many huge match-ups in week 17,

here's a selection of what we'll be looking at on the show.

A Washington win at home to the Giants would secure

playoff football.. That win would mean a winner

takes all in Detroit, with either the Lions or Packers

missing out all together. Minus their leader at quarterback,

Oakland went to Denver without Derek Carr looking

for the win to secure the AFC West. Lose that game and Kansas had

the chance to not only secure the division but also grab

the second seed in the AFC. Here is the playoff picture

heading into week 17. A quick reminder, to make

the playoffs you need to win your division,

or gain a wildcard spot by having The the Division winners

are then seeded depending on their regular season record.

So the six teams were wrapped up here, but for New England a win over

Miami would secure home field advantage right through to

the Super Bowl, should As mentioned Kansas City went

into week 17 looking at that second seed and valuable bye week held

by Oakland. In the NFC Dallas lead the way,

but the second seed is still Seattle were hoping Atlanta might

slip up and allow them the chance to avoid wildcard weekend

and the valuable bye week that comes with being number 1 and 2 seed.

Tampa Bay were still in the hunt but had better odds of winning

the lottery than results falling into place!

As mentioned, a Washington win and they're in the playoffs,

which is where we'll The 17th and final round of the

season. After weeks, it could not be more straightforward. Win and the

Washington Redskins make the playoffs. Lose and they don't. The

New York Times have already made the playoffs, but they have chosen their

18, Giants that Kirk Cousins must pull down.

Back up at the top of the screen. Here it is Perkins. In the 20, down

at the 15th. In a game that the Washington Redskins need to get into

the playoffs, they are watching the Giants move into scoring range. The

Giants eventually stalled. They got the ball back in the second quarter.

The Giants pick it up and there goes O'Dell back out at the 41. He is on

Josh Norman -- Beckham. Second and sacks. There is Beckham. That will

be a flag on a Norman and here we go again. Norman against Beckham, round

three and this time the flag is on Norman. He has to be concerned, this

has been all New York Giants. The Giants with their chance to extend

their lead to 10-0. All of us, we don't know what to expect from the

Giants but they are playing good ball. Touchdown. Impressive start

for New York here against their divisional rivals. MARK CHAPMAN: He

had a chance to get Washington on the board, but went wide from 57

yards. The Giants are going for it. 4th down and two. Pass is tipped.

Broken up by faster. -- Forster. They are all out there for the

Giants. The only guy that we have not seen has been Jenkins on the

defensive side. You take him out and replace them with Dominic Rogers.

You think you can go after them. 147 on 3rd down. Nice move. There is

life for the Redskins. Down in the 25. -- down inside the 25. Kirk

Cousins, the receiver fell down and DRC with their kick back the other

way. Harris lost its bidding and for Dominic Rogers, his bed kick of the

year. Here it is Harris. Down he goes. He has caught seven balls all

season long. Let's look and see if Rogers gets his foot down. MARK

CHAPMAN: Washington forced a three and out and Hopkins finally put the

Redskins on the board. They trailed by seven going into the fourth

quarter. Here is Perkins with a career high. He stopped short here.

Extra effort made it close. He is less than a yard short of the 1st

down. 3rd down and 17. Khorasan looking for blocks. A flag at the

end of it a lot of Pierre Garcon. He just went and got it. It looked like

they were going to get land in columns with the late head. You see

what has happened on this drive. -- hit. One on one. Touchdown!

Washington! He has to go up for it and for a guy who is playing with a

shoulder injury knowing that you will get parked, that is a heck of a

job, securing the ball and giving the Redskins team a chance to tie

this game up. Fourth 1st down of the half for the Giants. Hitting his

stride. The first-year player out of Georgia is good for 44 yards. A

simple goal route by King. Eli Manning is able to beat Blackman

with the ball with a perfectly thrown pass. Check that MARK

CHAPMAN: Robbie Gould give them the lead 13 minutes left. This may rest

on Hopkins to tie it. The Redskins call time-out and they have given

the Giants an opportunity to bring in some fresh legs. Kirk Cousins.

Oppose it down. Intercepted by Dominic Rogers. And that could very

well end of the year for Washington. Second interception, second turnover

of the game as well and it is a back breaker for the Redskins. Devon is

going to be the one to put the pressure. The pressure by him forces

Cousins to slide to his left and tried to make a throw to Garcon

without being able to plant his feet and lead him across the middle. He

is open but Dominic Rogers in a trail technique and a ball thrown

behind him, he is able to make a play, once again, 40 in the Redskins

drive. The Giants do four or five players deep. Throws underneath.

This is it. Flag is down and on the ladder and on the bounce, chairman

Wayne will take it in for the touchdown and the call is Anna Lo --

is illegible. This will stand. 19-10. There is a uniqueness and

something special about this squad of guys. We will find a way to win

the games. I wish it could be pretty at times but we are winning games

and that is a good quality to have. This is in my first time dealing

with this. Tough times do not last but tough people do. I will keep

saying that until I retire. All I know is that it will give me an edge

and I will go back to work this offseason and have

a hunger that has always been there but when the season ends this way,

it will be there and it will be strong. We will talk more about the

Giants in a moment, but as far as Kirk Cousins is concerned, he will

not like what happened in this game. He will not like that. Any part of

it. Is his future on the line at Washington. No, it is supply and

demand. He is one of the better quarterbacks in the lead -- in the

league. He had an up and down year, but his ups were better than his

downs. The Washington Redskins should build their team around him.

Is it fair that there is speculation about his future and not that

interception but the one late in the fourth quarter, if you look at some

of the American media, it has been described as the past that could

cost $28 million. If there were more options, yeah. There aren't really

many options out there. You're better with what you have got and

particularly a man who has not performed well. It is hard to find a

good quarterback for the system that is in play and he can do that. No

doubt about it. There are not enough football players to play that

position who can play the way he is capable of. It is the subject we

have touched on a bit, is Eli Manning a good quarterback at the

moment. He is a great quarterback and he will always be. He has

Championship pedigree and what he has working in his favour now is he

does not have to carry the football team. The defense carries this

football team. I agree, Eli is a good player, but it is the running

game. Him allowing that running game and are getting going for it the

offense is carrying his game. Eli is a great quarterback, but it is the

context of how the season has gone. If you say they need to develop a

running game, surely that should be done by now. You can't just develop

a running game going into the playoffs six you want to have

developed by the time you had the playoffs if you're able to hit the

playoffs and what has happened with him is, they were able to win on

defense and it gives them time to find a running back and Paul

Perkins. The Giants had shown a commitment to running the football

of last couple of weeks. They might add over 100 yards like they did in

the past week but they will continue to do that and rely on their

defense. Let's look at the other important fixtures in the NFC. We

know that Dallas have wrapped up the number one seed. They gave Tony Romo

and Erin and he has completed one drive with his second-quarter cameo.

The best quarterback in Dallas! Selley combined well. -- Michael

Philadelphia. Chip Kelly's final fling saw the 49ers score image

touchdown to put clear water between them and Seattle. The Seahawks first

of all fought back and then fought amongst themselves. We will talk

more about that in a little while. The Falcons are the ones to watch as

the divisional playoffs loom. They got the ball rolling in New Orleans

with a free men dazzling touchdown. And Matt Ryan continues to be a

prime candidate, for a touchdown throws through the first half. Julio

Jones with that to Tapper. And wrapping up the NFC regular

season were Green Bay at Detroit. Washington's loss made sure both

teams were playoff bound, but there A rare moment of relief, both teams

in the playoffs without having to score a point today, but relief sits

uneasily in the NFL. There is the NFC North divisional title at stake,

23 years have passed since the Lions once in won one and the Packers keen

to keep their resurgent streak going. It is Aaron Rodgers against

Matt Stafford, relief is not on the menu.

Ten out three out of seven 430 the eyeing us Michael 39 yards.

Golden Tate is able to make the catch. Julius Peppers slammed as he

went to make the tackle. MARK CHAPMAN: missing a 39 yard field

goal kept the scores level. COMMENTATOR: This is the longest

streak of his illustrious career. Now, he is down in Nelson range.

This is a guy with 11 red zone touchdowns. No one is even close. 14

total touchdowns for number 87. Rodgers throws over the middle.

Touchdown. He has had a heck of an impact rushing in this game. Thomas

on the bench right now. Stafford airing it out and it's caught at the

35-yard line by Jones. Second year guy out of Notre Dame. 3rd goal.

Into the end zone. Detroit touchdown. Detroit have all of its

time-outs. Zennor. Out of bounds at the 33-yard line. 1st down and goal.

Zennor in the backfield has carried 16 times. Touchdown! Golden Tate

slides to the inside. MARK CHAPMAN: The Packers put together a drive

that enabled a field goal to cut the lead going into half-time. Play

action. Nelson taking the ball to the 2-yard line. Going to roll to

the right. Fire. Court. Touchdown. Davante Adams. He will get penalised

for using the goalpost as a prop. 1st 16. Davante Adams in the

backfield. The pass is holding, in Detroit territory by Geronimo

Alison. Another catch here for 31. 3rd 9. Packers go five wide. Lyons

Rushforth. There goes a Aaron Rodgers again. Looking to the

outside again. Throwing and it is caught for a touchdown by Geronimo

Alison. You can't stop him if he does that. What did he have the

ball? Eight or nine seconds? This is why it is so difficult to defend.

Plenty of time, scrambling around, buying time. Eventually one of these

wide receivers uncover. They practice this all the time. People

think, it's streetball. No. Every single day, when we give them the

opportunity to go there, Aaron Rodgers, even when there is nobody

else on the field will try and come up with plays like that. They are

used to it. MARK CHAPMAN: lines possession, the lead down to six.

COMMENTATOR: Montgomery in the backfield. Rodgers is going to take

the snap. Rodgers takes it himself. He does everything. 1st down. It's

easy to say what a call when it works but what a call. Stafford can

only hope for another shot. Lions dancing around, showing blitz. Here

they come. The pass to Adams in the corner of the end zone. Davante

Adams working on Nevin Lawson. Aaron Rodgers has an even 300 yards on the

evening. You saw the blitz. You know it is one-on-one coverage. Davante

Adams, his 11th touchdown in a year. He's had a few drops but that

balance along with Jordy Nelson and Cook getting back into form, you

give that guy weapons and... 137, going down. Stafford fires and that

is going to be Micah Hyde coming away with it in the end zone for a

touchdown. Game on the line. Plays it perfectly. Arms around each other

on both sides. Officials say play on. Matthew Stafford can't believe

it. For all we talk about Aaron Rodgers and this Offense, what the

Defense did when nobody left to play quarterback, one of the great shows

of this year. Tremendous. Seven games, 18 touchdowns. The rating is

spectacular. Stafford throws. A few hearts beating around the country.

Anquan Boldin courted. That is overwhelming. -- he caught it. Kenya

-- can you imagine another player like that catching a Hail Mary like

that? You have Rodgers, Alison, Adams, the guys who are used to

handling the ball. Montgomery back of the 25-yard line. That with

Richard Rodgers will do it. Not quite as exciting as what Rodgers

did last time but pretty good. The Green Bay Packers go to the playoffs

for the eighth consecutive year. Giants go to Lambeau next week.

We're in the playoffs and the goal is to win the Bowl. It's fun to win

with these guys and to do it the way we did for the last six weeks. We've

got a great football team playing really well. Were just happy to be

back at Lambeau. It's very difficult to get into the playoffs. Where one

of the 12 teams in it. So, if you're in, you got a chance.

Congratulations to the Lions making it to the playoffs. A heck of a

football game, it was fun to coach in it and we're very proud to win

this title again. So the NFC road to Super Bowl 51

will go through Dallas, who end the regular season as number

1 seed and have that Matt Ryan's Atlanta Falcons

are second seeds and join Dallas on the bye week ahead

of wildcard weekend. Seattle's three wins from their last

six games has seen them slip into third seed,

they will host sixth seed Fourth seed Green Bay will host

the New York Giants this coming wildcard weekend at a very cold

Lambeau field! We will get onto Green Bay- New York

in a moment. Let's start with Green Bay. You marvel at Aaron Rodgers and

you see the stats, 18 touchdowns, no interceptions in seven games. You

wonder if he's unstoppable at the moment. This guy is playing the best

quarterback we've seen in the NFL in history. His stats is ridiculous. 18

touchdowns, I've never heard of it before. And the turnaround is

remarkable. Six weeks ago, they appeared to be an unhappy camper. He

called out some team-mates. He was hobbling and limping. Now, he's like

a Rolls-Royce. He never panicked because he believed in his skill

set. This play is amazing. Watch his footwork. How quickly he sets up the

throw again. You don't see quarterbacks do that. How would you

play against him? Now? You just have to rush the past. You can't give him

time to sit in the pocket and do all the incredible things he's able to

do. You have to attack him, came contain him in the pocket. You have

played against him and we have footage. You're smiling already.

We've got footage of you play against him. This was the Giants in

Lambeau. The couple of times they have gone there and beaten Green Bay

and gone on to the Super Bowl. We are going to see you, missing him

first time. You have two persist. Look at what I did! Some shots

elsewhere of this game. Look at this. You were teachers pet there.

You were the closest to Tom Coughlin. I wanted to be there where

everybody could see me. With my helmet on, they don't see me too

much. I wanted to be in shot. See it one more time. He grabs you. I was

his favourite! Hello, son. What do you think it will be like for the

Giants going to Lambeau given the history they have albeit with a very

different roster. One guy who is very important is Eli. He can say,

follow me and I will take you to the promised land. I like the Giants

chances in this particular game. I can't explain how difficult what

they did against the Washington Redskins was. They had nothing to

play for and they defeated the Washington Redskins and I like their

chances in this game. In tribute to the Giants going to Lambeau, the

previous times they did that they went on to win the Super Bowl. Just

to prove he is a Super Bowl winner, he has brought his two rings. Look

at that! Bear a shiny! They don't do things by halves, I tell you.

Atlanta, now second seeds. We discussed whether we had given them

enough credit. They will be a real threat. It is good for them for two

reasons. They have time to prepare and Julio Jones has time to heal.

The only distraction will be their defensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan

who is interviewing for jobs. Surely that kind of thing should wait till

the season is over. Teams have the opportunity to hire" she is. You

don't want to wait until the season is over. He would have missed his

chance. He deserves the opportunity to compete for a head coaching job.

You'd think that was a distraction if you were one of his players. This

is definitely a distraction. He is making a decision for his future and

he's going to put in time for that. What is he supposed to do? Wait for

the job is to be filled. That's not fair to him. I don't agree with the

process but it is taking away from the next game. The men who would

have had their odd difference of opinion, what you think about the

Seattle Seahawks players fighting amongst themselves? This is

ridiculous. Read gets dejected and Clark decides to give him a piece of

his mind. Ridiculous. They should have waited to get into the locker

room to address their differences. You don't Bear your dirty laundry

for everyone to see. This is part of the dysfunction of the Seattle

Seahawks right now. If you know somebody that is hurting the team

and letting them down, you need to keep it under control. You would be

the first guy to grab somebody and say, calm down. But I wouldn't want

to address it right there on the sideline. Clark had problems on his

own. He's not the veteran on that football team that should be

grabbing people by the scruff of the neck. He should chill out a bit. Do

it in private. Not in public. Do it in private. Good luck after the

show. This Friday we will take a look at the final round of the

regular season. If you miss the show

on Friday evening you can Tom Brady led the Patriots again.

Welcome, I'm here. 77 yard catch and run. And a thunderous block from

Floyd. He is likely to lead Miami into the playoffs. Houston against

Tennessee. They had better days. Jones rumbled through for a

touchdown and then a second-quarter concussion saw him exit the game.

The ?72 million man didn't throw a touchdown. Santer fraud! You can't

call him that. Pittsburgh's knocking for an overtime touchdown. Jones

finding Hamilton to secure the game. Is that your own personal nickname?

Over in the AFC West, Oakland and Kansas City both had

an opportunity to not only secure the division but the valuable AFC

second seed and the bye week that comes with it.

For the loser playoff football is secured,

but rather than a week off they'll be back the following weekend

Both keen to secure the bye week, leaders Oakland had the tough trip

to Denver whilst Kansas City headed to other divisional

High drama. A classic western. The Oakland Raiders on their drive,

majestic until this. It is broke! The broken leg of Derek Carr, to

take the title they have to pick themselves up and take the high road

to Denver, home of the still raining and most certainly smarting Broncos.

Liz, and the offer of the division title and a home tie ahead is held

out to the Kansas City Chiefs. Raiders and Chiefs, the double

screenplay of the day. The Raiders trying to win to take

the division for the first time since 2002. The Broncos are driving

here. Into the end zone for the touchdown. Denver picking up six

first downs after taken the opening kick-off. -- taking.

So many injuries have hit these San Diego Chargers. And their line-up

does not resemble anything close to what it looked like on opening day.

The throw in. Nolan coming out of the outfield. He is put out of

bounds. MARK CHAPMAN: Nine plays later, a field goal to give it the

Chargers a three point lead. Five wide receivers on third and sixth.

Smith. Down the near side line. Court at the 10-yard line. MARK

CHAPMAN: For plays later, the Chief Scott on the board with a field

goal. The game was tied at three all. Rivers throws. What a catch

made. The 48, once again it is Hunter Henry. He had himself a

healthier season than usual this year. Rivers. This side of the

field. In 2pm zone, touchdown, Gates. He is tied with Tony

Gonzalez. It will be interesting to see when the game ends. He breaks.

And another tackle. Being chased by Malcolm Smith. He tries to punch the

football out from behind. MARK CHAPMAN: That run lead to an

McManus 22 yard field goal. The Raiders trailed by then. -- ten.

Quick pass to the far side. Albert Wilson. To the 20, to the ten and

tripped up before he got to the end zone. He was marked out about the

5-yard line. Those short passes are nice idea. It turned into an 80 yard

touchdown a week ago. This is Alex Smith. For the end zone, touchdown.

Knife block in front of him by Travis Kelsey. Alex Smith. Rush and

touchdown of the season for Alex. It is going to be one of those kinds of

days on the scoreboard. Rivers. Intercepted. Picked off at midfield.

Peters is out of bounds at the 30-yard line. He was under pressure

in the pocket and Peters jumped the route. Smith, rolling, throwing,

touchdown. Martin Spiers, the interception. The Kansas City Chiefs

convert at the other end. Again, he is high. Going towards Crabtree and

he got hit. It is out. 93. 15-yard penalty. Automatic. 1st down. It

looks like it is going to be the football goes high. He has to lean

back, he knows he is getting pressure. The head hit the ground. I

Jo Scott word from the Oakland Raiders that Matt McGloin has a

shoulder injury. His return is not likely. We will see his first action

of the regular season. 3rd 18. Big penalty took the Broncos out of

field goal range. He has got room. He has got an open field ahead. He

has got to the end zone for the second time. MARK CHAPMAN: Just

before half-time at Arrowhead, the Chiefs converted a field goal from

Santos to extend their lead to ten points. 2nd 3. Smith throw in.

Intercepted. Picked off on the far side of the field. Back to their 30.

Thirdly, 20, touchdown, San Diego. No flags on the field.

Simeon, throws it in there to Thomas. Into the red zone. Second in

goal. Reaction to the end zone, it is a touchdown. Virgil Green.

40-yard line. Alex Smith to throw. Wide open in the middle of the

field. For a 1st down, a 20 yard pick-up. A reminder what is at stake

with Oakland losing, Kansas City winning here, then Kansas City would

move up to number two seed. They win the Championship.

Touchdown. That looked really easy. Very familiar, the same path they

did earlier with the roll-out. West goes up and out. The receivers to

the right crash down, it is seldom easy the same play work twice in the

same area of the field. First and ten. Kirk. Bodies around

him. Beautiful pass. Cooper. Try to reach out for it. They say

touchdown. Cooper. There are a couple of things. This was a big

drop. Good field position and they took advantage. Connor Cook stepping

up was the first thing and the Raiders love to make double moves.

They do a lot of them during the game and that was some job by

Cooper. How about the way he finds the pylon? It was a touchdown. Took

a hand from Kirk. Tipped away by Simmons. You talked about how

important the bye week was. It just got more important. Playing that one

from in his own 10-yard line. Here he goes! Down the sideline for the

touchdown. No flags! 95 yards for Hill. He also has a kick-off return.

MARK CHAPMAN: At the top of the fourth quarter, the Chargers

converted a field goal from Lambeau but the Chiefs would respond with

another Santos 37 yard field goal to make it a 17 point lead as the game

wound down. I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers keep growing and

growing. Rivers, wide open at the goal-line, touchdown to Hunter

Henry, the rookie tight end. Final score, 37-27. Kansas City wins the

AFC West. They will have a bye week before resuming their pursuit of a

Super Bowl. I tell you guys all the time, you get what you earn in this

league. We did not do enough to earn a win tonight. Tough game, we did a

nice job. We didn't do enough early enough to win. That is the way it

goes in this league. For us, it was a big swing, to goal from

potentially playing a road game in the wild card, to a buy and hosting

a game. There was no in between, a big swing. Credit to our division.

How well we have been playing. We took care at our end and got some

help from Denver. So we finally have our 12 teams

confirmed for the playoffs. Pittsburgh post-Miami. Oakland head

to Houston. Dallas and Atlanta are keen observers of the wild card

weekend. Seattle will take part in wild card we get hosting Detroit.

Green they host the New York Giants at Lambeau. Apologies to Kansas City

fans, I said it was at Arrowhead but it was in San Diego. Let's focus on

Oakland. Noel Derek Carr, Matt McGloin was injured in this game and

they had to go to their third ranked. The timing was awful.

Terrible misfortune. This team had played good football for the entire

year, lose their star quarterback and now they have to go in to the

playoffs like that. Terrible luck. You don't know what to say. You feel

so bad. It was a big hit. Right on his shoulder. He was starting to get

wraps as a starter and now he is out any have to bring in somebody else.

He did throw a touchdown but later on he did this. You can do anything

about it. It's not like you can bring in someone else. They have a

great offensive line but now that teams will stack the box. If I was

going to be positive for the Raiders, do you at least give that

those quarterbacks are bit of leeway in that they were taking an Denver

and their defense and an emotional Denver as well. They knew that

Kubiak was leaving, they wanted to go out on a high... You are trying.

You know what a good quarterback does, but they don't! There is no

way that you can take any positives out of this situation. These are two

unproven quarterbacks. There is no way they can overcome that. You

would hope there is not enough film out there on them. They don't know

what they can really do well and they might get away with it for one

game. I'm sure most people watching will note the situation with Gary

Kubiak and why he is stepping down for health reasons. It is a very sad

story. We know by being in the locker room how much time as coaches

put in. I used to see throughout the season, cultures got sick, everyone

had a cold, they put in a lot of hours and that wears down your body

and his health has been impacted. He was a former player and all the

players loved him, he rallied the troops. ... He had a great

relationship with John Elway. They had everything going for themselves.

We wish him well. He is the one who left through choice. The other

coaches that went, it is called 'Black Monday'. It tends to be Black

Sunday night! Maybe a couple of before that. 49ers, Chargers, Jags,

Broncos, Rams, all looking for new head coaches. Alt of those jobs, if

you were both to be head coach... I could see it, which one would you

take on why? The Broncos. They have a great defense. You always want to

take over a team with a good defense. They have everything in

place, they just lost their head guy for health reasons. He has taken the

Broncos job. You would say the same thing. Alt of the other ones

available, where would you go? Los Angeles. Rams. Hollywood! I would go

and enjoy the fun in the sun. You have a good young quarterback. He is

young. They have to give him time to develop. You know you have at least

two or three years. I am definitely going to LA. It started as a

compliment. Over the course of the season, we have seen the Jason and

Osi index. Osi had the Patriots, who put the Giants in at two and then

went Cowboys and Raiders and then Seahawks. Let's see how he changed

it going into the playoffs. He brought a plan to end. Steelers are

up at four, Cowboys are in there as well. You drop the Seahawks and drop

the Raiders out. The Seahawks are fighting each other. The Raiders

with quarterback situation, they cannot be in my top five. I have the

Steelers they have a really good offense. I like him in the playoffs.

Let's look at Jason's index. You haven't changed yours as often.

Patriots, Cowboys, Raiders, Giants, Steelers. That was it two weeks ago

and you also dropped the Raiders completely out of it. You bumped the

Steelers and the Giants up and you have brought the Chief said. I

wanted the cheese to be in there. They were going to jump over the

Raiders, but because of the injury, to Derek Carr... Did someone talk

about the cheese? Are you tell me they are not exciting? They have

exciting play. They are not exciting. Number two seeds. Neither

of you have that the Packers and there. They won six games in a row

that they are not better than any of those five teams. We have spent ages

praising Aaron Rodgers. They have a lot of injuries and they give plays

downfield. You know if Green Bay win, I'm going to have such fun.

Don't forget the NFL Show this Friday at 11.55 BBC One.

And don't forget you can catch the playoff action this

Starting at 6pm there's coverage of Miami's visit to Pittsburgh

followed by the Giants visit to Green Bay.

So 32 becomes 12 as we head into the playoffs and of those 32

teams, six have so far fired their head coach.

See you Friday as we preview the road to Super Bowl 51.

The numbers are slashed, 32 down to 12 and that doesn't, at the top four

may rest. Eight teams must play, smaller numbers, higher intensity.

The wild card is must take to the road could, to the homes of

divisional winners. High stakes, high-quality, the giddy heights of

football in the New Year. And it is going to go only higher. Only in the

NFL. They want me to write and

produce - for a boy band. Oh.
