Titans whail on the Redskins who are more or less dead without a competent QB and officially knock them out of the playoff race, while keeping themselves in the hunt. Baltimore gives the Chargers a run for the money but I think the Chargers hold them off.

Baltimore gives the Chargers a run for the money but I think the Chargers hold them off. I have to say - - Josh Johnson just lead the Redskins on a 97-yard drive in which multiple times they were 1st and 20. He was the first pick for the San Diego Fleet in that new Spring football league that starts up this year, but that drive shows he should be at least a third-string QB in the league. |

Redskins are playing very well, and the Titans are in trouble with Mariota out of the game and Gabbert in, Gabbert looks sharp on this drive though. Henry has been held in check.

Bad pick by Josh Johnson at the end in Titans territory seals the win for Tennessee.
Edit: he then threw a pick-six with his next possession.

The Titans keep on finding ways to win despite not being great at any position, but they don’t have any glaring weaknesses either, they are solid all around. They did a nice job winning without Mariota, Gabbert was solid in his place.

Chargers MUST win tonight. If Ravens win, I'd bet that the Steelers don't make the playoffs.  |

Ravens have dominated the Chargers but are only up 6-0, Ravens are playing great defense and have established a strong rushing attack while the Chargers have been lifeless and unable to get anything going.

Chargers basically slept through the first half, yet are only down three. Their defense is a very good "bend but don't break" kind of thing. I feel good that the offense will wake up in the 2nd half.
Btw, when it's your team that's losing, Mike Turico suddenly becomes a very annoying announcer. Everybody is this guy's friend, these guys went to college together, those two had a great conversation, everybody gets along and has a great time, blah, blah, BLAH, BLAH!!!!!! Christ, it's a friggin important December football game and Turico sounds like he's doing the Macy's thanksgiving day parade.....

Ravens defense is doing a great job, Rivers and the Chargers offense have done nothing tonight.

The Chargers always end up being letdowns. I actually think they have a better shot at making the Super Bowl as the 5th seed going on the road for their playoff games. They underperform at home.

You gotta be kidding me!!! 
This is going to be a crushing loss! The Ravens are another team like the Steelers who get underestimated early in the season and more often than not, they find their way into the playoffs!
Baltimore was just looking for a wild card spot, but now if they beat Cleveland next week (if they could do this to the Chargers then the Browns are boned!) and a Steelers loss then Baltimore would win the North! That is a hell of an accomplishment considering where they were back in October!

Looks like a fumble and touchdown for Ravens to me.
Good play by Ravens.
Ravens have a history of winning. Chargers have a history of disappointing.

Rivers basically does a hail mary and it's picked off. The AFC's butt holes suddenly clinch over the Baltimore defenses performance tonight!

Well, Phillip had an awful game, the offensive line was soft, two turnovers led to 10 Ravens points, and there were at least 4 killer penalties that derailed good plays.
Other than that, not too bad.....
Bolts play better on the road anyways, they don't really have a home. We'll have to do it the hard way, that's all.

Fuck fuck fuck. Steelers out of the playoffs if they don't defeat the Saints tomorrow - - which they won't.
Fuck you Chargers. Fuck you Bill Vinovich - - the fact that you weren't fired two minutes after the Steelers-Chargers game shows how bad NFL refereeing is.

That was a huge win for the Ravens, they are now in very good playoff position, both for the Wild Card and AFC North, I think they will win the AFC North. Their defense is one of the NFL’s best and switching from Flacco to Jackson has helped their offense a lot.
Chargers always seem to shit the bed when it counts, they had a solid chance at winning their division and getting the 1 seed if they had won out as the Chiefs play a very difficult game at Seattle tomorrow, but the Chiefs now jays have to win 1 of their final 2 to get the 1 seed. I just don’t trust the Chargers, they are very talented but sometimes they don’t show up.
Rivers and the Chargers never quite recovered from the INT on the first play of the game tonight.
