Often times, it’s overstated just how “crazy” the NFL season is because they are all crazy, they are all different and unique and unless you know something others don’t, the NFL is nearly impossible to predict. This season has been insane in terms of surprises, upsets and shocks, but at this point, the playoff picture is finally really taking shape, and teams are starting to get an idea of where they’ll be going in the weeks to come when the regular season comes to its natural end.
This past Sunday
had plenty of exciting games with some teams locking up a spot in the playoffs while other teams saw their season come to their official end.
There are still two regular season games left, and there are still some things to be determined, but this end of season is taking shape, and the playoffs are coming, and everything that comes with it.

Rams-Seahawks 2-Point Replay Controversy Ignites Unrelenting Fallout (lafbnetwork)
“Former NFL referee Walt Anderson, the league’s sole official spokesperson for rules application, addressed the play during a short Sunday morning NFL Network segment. Anderson focused on explaining the mechanics of the backward pass, clarifying that the play was correctly ruled under the existing rules.

Kotwica, 51, is an experienced coach who’s in his first year with the Rams. He probably didn’t expected to get promoted to the lead position during Year 1 in Los Angeles but he’ll now be tasked with improving a struggling special teams unit that has directly cost the Rams two of their four wins.“
