Week 16 in the NFL is about clinching and elimination. The Baltimore Ravens clinched a playoff spot with their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, while the Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers have now been eliminated from playoff contention.
On Sunday, we saw Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers defeat the Cardinals in overtime, thanks to Chuba Hubbard’s big day, the Atlanta Falcons blew out the New York Giants in Michael Penix Jr.’s first NFL start and the Cincinnati Bengals remained alive in the playoff hunt with a double-digit win over the rival Cleveland Browns.
In the late afternoon slate, the Minnesota Vikings beat the Seattle Seahawks to remain in lockstep with the Detroit Lions for first place in the NFC North. The Buffalo Bills held off the New England Patriots while continuing to put pressure on the Kansas City Chiefs for AFC’s top playoff seed.
Up next, the Dallas Cowboys host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what should be an entertaining game. Dallas has been eliminated from playoff contention, but the offense has played well with backup Cooper Rush running the show. The Buccaneers are playing for playoff positioning; a win would keep them ahead of second-place Atlanta in the NFC South standings.
