From 33-0 down at half time, the Vikes win 39-36

Biggest comeback in NFL history.

Good game, although I was hoping for a Colts win.

Pleased the Ravens lost. Probably voukd have done with a Phins win, but don't mind the Bills.

Just noticed that Tampa Bay head the NFC South with a losing record, 6-7.
They have the Bengals, Cardinals and the Panthers
I can’t see them winning all 3 so the NFC South will be won by a team with an 8-8 record at best

That would have to be a first?

They won't have an 8-8 record because there are seventeen games now.

Still, five teams have made the playoffs with losing records so if they go 8-9 and win the division it wouldn't be massively out of the ordinary. It's only three teams if we exclude the weird strike season, but has become more likely since they changed to eight divisions of four teams around the start of this century.

Thanks, bud.
Just looked it up and was going to edit.
Didn’t realise it was 17, either ::)
Fun fact, two of those, Panthers and Washington, was with the same coach (Rivera)

I know its the Patriots so its inherently funny but I've just remembered from back when I used to watch NFL in the 80s that I absolutely hated the Raiders. This is like Man U beating Liverpool in the last minute of injury time.

Thought of you on Saturday, mate.

Was in a local pub when an American chap walked past our table and commented on my 49ers jacket. We got talking and it turns out he's originally from Decatur, Illinois, and told me that the Bears were once called the Decatur Staleys. I had no idea about this, and as he was leaving the table, I asked him what he's made of the Bears this season.

His response: 'I'm a Niners fan', despite his whole family being Bears fans. He reckons you guys will do alot better next season, however.
