Dallas rounded off their regular season by trouncing the already postseason-bound Philadelphia on Saturday night, whereas San Francisco had to contend with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo becoming gradually accustomed to his finger injury.
They needed overtime, in a come-from-behind, must-win road victory against the competitive Los Angeles Rams. The game against the Eagles was a gentle workout for the Cowboys, but the 49ers fought out a tense, at times brutal, defensive-led comeback to recover from a halftime deficit against the Rams.
Dallas have accrued regular season points, while allowing just and those are numbers that equate to just over 12 Pythagorean wins in a game season. Similarly, San Francisco have scored while allowing , the equivalent of 10 Pythagorean wins. They gain 0.
These are still impressive numbers, though. Their defense has found the step up to elite opposition more difficult, struggling to contain the pass and conceding nearly two more points per game compared to the average for these types of games.
San Francisco have a regular season record against teams who have made the postseason, with these wins and losses spread evenly throughout the season, and faced with their struggles offensively in such games, it is the defense that has stepped up. They allow four fewer points per game than is usual in elite matchups. If you consider every regular season game, scoring rates favour Dallas by seven points with a predicted scoreline of ET on NBC with the winner advancing to the playoffs.
While the Cowboys have sewn up an NFC East title and the Eagles are a wild-card entrant in the NFC playoffs, seeding is also on the line in that rivalry matchup. Finally on Sunday night in the final regular season game, the Chargers and Raiders will square off in a play-in game as the winner will go to the playoffs. The league also announced game times for the full Sunday schedule all times ET :. The Colts' season-ending loss to the Jaguars in Week 18 has cast a shadow on Indy's season.
Following the Indianapolis Colts' disappointing end to the campaign, owner Jim Irsay sent a message to Indy fans saying the club will use it as fuel in The Cardinals designated defensive end J. Watt to return after going on injured reserve following shoulder surgery back in October.
Still, the former Defensive Player of the Year isn't promising he'll be on the field for Monday's postseason showdown with the Rams. Giants owner John Mara addressed the club's latest head coaching change Wednesday -- the team's fourth search for the right answer in that role since Tom Coughlin's exit after the season -- and described it as the most embarrassed he's ever been during his lifelong association with the franchise.
COVID kept Cowboys standouts Micah Parsons and Tyron Smith from playing in the team's regular-season finale against the Eagles, but it won't keep them out of the club's playoff opener. Also, the latest NFL roster and injury news from Wednesday. A big completion to Samuel has put the 49ers in position to try to tie the game in regulation. Cooper Kupp just made an unreal TD catch over 2 49ers defenders as the Rams re-gain the lead.
It's with left. Buffalo holding on to a lead nearing the end of the third quarter. If they win, they're the No. LA is trying to hand onto the No. The Saints have a lead over the Falcons, so the 49ers need to win to make the playoffs. As mentioned, the Steelers can't have the Raiders and Chargers tie. The Steelers lost to both teams during the regular season, hence why they'd lose those tiebreakers.
Dolphins take a halftime lead over the Patriots but had a lead earlier in the half. The Bills have a second quarter lead over the Jets. If both teams win, the Bills will win the division title and the Patriots will likely head to Cincinnati in the wild-card round. The Colts are now eliminated after being humiliated by the Jaguars. Steelers get the dub in OT against the Ravens to avoid the loss elimination or tie elimination. A Steelers-Ravens tie would eliminate both from the playoffs and help the Colts delete their W18 humiliation by the Jaguars.
Colts would also need Chargers to lose, in this tie scenario. Indy would fall backwards into the postseason -- bailed out by the AFC North.
Chiefs fans see their hopes of a first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs dashed. And with that fourth-down conversion by Trevor Lawrence, the Colts are on the way to a loss in Week
