It’s Football Sunday! Well... kind of.
For the first time since early September, the NFL will not be playing a game that will have an impact on the 2018 NFL season. We’re officially a week away from the Super Bowl, but that means we’re left with no playoff games today.
A few years ago, the NFL tried to fix this problem by placing the Pro Bowl in this middle week between the conference championship games and the super Bowl. It’s probably a better space for the game, rather than after the Super Bowl—however, the league still struggles to create intrigue for a game in which the players very clearly don’t give it their all.
