If Saturdays are regularly moving days at PGA tournaments, Sunday of Week 13 of this season was statement day in the National Football League.
Of course every team in the league except the Browns, 49ers, Jaguars, Bears, Jets, Bengals, Panthers and Rams has a plausible path to the playoffs. But what we think we saw Sunday was 11 teams in the NFL clearly still possessing a reasonable chance of actually winning a playoff game this year, and a whole lot of wannabes who might still claim a playoff spot but it won’t really matter if they get there.
