Story lines for today’s NFL games

  • The chargers are in the driver’s seat for no. The 6 seed in the AFC playoffs. With a win, they seal all but that spot. With a loss, it’s less certain, but still very likely. New England kept things close with Buffalo through three quarters last weekend and could give the Chargers some trouble down the road.
  • Denver enters Week 17 ranked No. 7-seed, but is heading against a team that wants to play spoiler. The The Bengals has the lowest chance of the three AFC teams in the wild card hunt (Indianapolis and Miami the others), but things could change with a win at home against Broncos. One problem: Denver has become one of them best pass defense in the league in the second half of the season.
  • Today’s lone division game is a crucial NFC West matchup in Los Angeles. The Cardinals ran over the Rams in a 41-10 win in Week 2, but that was a long time ago. Los Angeles is in first place in the division, playing at home. A win for the Rams would push the Rams one step closer to winning the division title ahead of a Week 18 home game against the Seahawks at home.
