Predictions for the last three months of the 2023 regular season: The Bills as well as Rams both make the playoffs, and Dak Prescott gets MVP.
After beating Green Bay three times in a row, the Giants, led by Tommy DeVito, won their third straight game.
The Titans, led by Will Levis, basically gave away a game prior to taking it back, giving the Dolphins an unexpected defeat in the end.
Both upsets changed the playoff picture and made it more likely that the 2023 normal season will end in an exciting way.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, tying them with the New York Jets for first place in the NFC South.
Zach Wilson led the New York Jets to a strong win over the Houston Texans, and the Baltimore Ravens held on for the win in overtime.
Jake Browning (right hand) and C.J. Stroud (concussion procedure) had to leave their games because they were hurt.
With a win over the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers kept rolling in the late window.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings beat the Las Vegas Raiders in a pitchers’ fight to improve their chances of making the playoffs.
Not only did the Denver Broncos beat the Chargers of Los Angeles, but the Buffalo Bills also beat the Kansas City Chiefs in a big way.
For the last football game of the day, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles by 20 points during a shockingly easy “Sunday Night Football” game.
Two big upsets happened on Monday night: the Tennessee Titans shocked the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants shocked the Green Bay Packers.
After each game, our NFL Nation writers talked about what happened, answered any questions that people still had, and picked out who or what was rising and falling for each team. Let’s do it.
In the end, Hopkins caught seven passes for 124 yards and a score. Hopkins is one of the best players in the league when it comes to getting open outside.
The fact that Hopkins caught the ball when he fell to his knees and took it 45 yards shows how focused he still is.
Through 13 games, he has caught 898 yards, putting him on track to become the first Titans wide receiver to catch 1,000 yards since A.J. Brown did it in 2020, with 1,075.
In a technical sense, yes, but that shouldn’t be the main focus right now after a big loss to the Titans.
For the top spot in the AFC, the Dolphins are one game behind the Ravens. In the AFC East, they are just two games in advance of the Bills.
The Dolphins should put winning their division at the top of their list of priorities. They could win the division in Week 16 if they beat the Jets as well as the Bills lose to the Cowboys. But since Dallas, Baltimore, as well as Buffalo still have games to play, nothing is set in stone.
Well, they’re only one game behind the Saints and Rams for the last wild card spot in the NFC. They still have games against those two teams. The trouble is that they are now behind five teams and still have to play the 10-3 Eagles twice.
ESPN Analytics said that the Giants had a 0.2% chance of making the playoffs going into Monday night.
With the win of the Packers, it only went up a little, to about 1%. This was partly because of the heavy schedule and the traffic above them.
With a win (76% of the time) and a loss (47% of the time), the Packers’ chances of making the playoffs were very different. However, because they played so badly, it could have hurt more emotionally.
It’s not like they can blame just one part of their game. On offense and special teams, the Packers turn the ball over a lot. On defense, they let big runs and plays go through.
