The NFL slate of games for Week 17 is set, and most of America will see the Bills host the Eagles in a massive Sunday afternoon showdown
Books hope that birds are victorious in NFL Week 17, as they'll be rooting for both the Eagles and Ravens. Patrick Everson has the scoop.
PHILADELPHIA - Mike Vrabel, Ben Johnson, and Liam Coen are the leading contenders to be NFL Coach of the Year this season. Saquon Barkley believes another name should be added to the list, how own head coach, the Eagles’ Nick Sirianni.
On the Eagles' end, their weakness has been turnovers. Philadelphia has four games this year with two or more turnovers and the Eagles have gone 0-4 in those games. If any defense out there can take advantage of that, it's a Bills unit that has forced 20 turnovers this year, which ranks in the top eight in the NFL.
2. New England Patriots (11-3), AFC East leaders: Their 10-game heater snapped, they failed to clinch the division Sunday and lost valuable ground in their bid for the No. 1 seed. But the Pats are still in driver's seat to win AFC East and can wrap up a playoff spot with a win at Baltimore. Remaining schedule: at Ravens, at Jets, vs. Dolphins.
A holiday wishlist for all 32 NFL teams, featuring playoff hopes, quarterback chaos, and franchises begging for mercy.
The Lions need this game to have any playoff chance, but it won't be easy on the road. Minnesota has played outstanding defense. The problem is the Vikings have rookie Max Brosmer playing for the injured J.J. McCarthy. That could be an issue, even against a Lions defense that has struggled.
Goedert proved this season that he is still one of the best tight ends in the NFL. Last week, he tied Eagles legend Pete Retzlaff for the most touchdowns (10) in a single season by a tight end in franchise history. He could break the record this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
