News and Notes from a Busy Week 17
Week 17 was probably the most exciting and intriguing week 17 in the NFL in the past couple of years.
The Minnesota Vikings secured the NFC North with a last second field goal, the Eagles romped the Cowboys 44-6 to earn the six seed in the NFC playoffs, the Miami Dolphins won the AFC East and the Detroit Lions fell to 0-16 with a loss at Green Bay.
What an exciting day in the NFL.
Saints QB Drew Brees came within 16 yards of breaking Dan Marino’s single season record for passing yards in his team’s 33-31 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Even though he couldn’t tie the record he still became only the second QB in league history to surpass 5,000 passing yards in a single season. He finished with 5,069 yards.
The Chargers and Broncos are currently playing their game in San Diego and the winner of the game is the AFC West champion.
There will be more to come on Monday after the AFC West champ is decided.
