One step closer to the end of the season means teams are one step closer to having their playoff futures finalised. The Green Bay Packers will win the NFC North if they beat the Chicago Bears, who will (at best) have a less-than-100% Jay Cutler, on Sunday evening (1800 – Sky Sports). Next up are 2 teams, both at 7-6, scrabbling around trying to secure one of the 2 wild-card spots in their respective conferences, as the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Dallas Cowboys (2125 – Sky Sports). With the New England Patriots having already won their division, the San Francisco 49ers will be eying a win to secure themselves a berth, and with a Seahawks loss, their division as well (0120 Mon am – C4) – could this be a Superbowl preview? The NY Jets have managed to claw themselves to 6-7, and with one of the easiest run-ins, are lining themselves up to sneak a wild-card spot; they take on the Tennessee Titans on Monday night (0130 Tues am – BBC).

Evening. Some great games on this weekend's slate.
Yeppers.
I'm not expecting too many comments for this one and the next, what with 2 (yes 2!!) other commenting threads going on right now.
Yeah, I did notice.
Shame with so many playoff spots being able to be settled tonight...
Tell me about it.
We sow AFC South up as things stand for example... while Colts can secure a playoff spot even if they lose this game.
Then big games elsewhere... Broncos are taking the Ravens to the cleaners by the looks of it, Falcons even more comfortable against the Giants, 49ers play Patriots later...
The Ravens are on the slide, might not win again this season...
Indeed, which given they were so strong early in the season... they aren't even assured of a play-off spot at the moment.
The Steelers and Bengals could poss overtake them from inside the division!! Flacco looking less and less elite by the game.
Indeed, and Bengals already won this week. Steelers are in Dallas who again are looking to sneak into the playoffs so another big game there. And dare I say it, the Jets have an easy run in...
They may be too far back, but should win out, so those above them can't slip up...
The Packers will be pleased (quieter) if their season isn't affected by the simultaneous-catch saga with the Seahawks.
Only 6 points in this, another TD would come in handy...
Wow, Skins winning despite on RGIII
*no
Giants lose to the Falcons and tithe Skins winning are about to fall out of a playoff spot.
Texans seal AFC South
Packers have clinched NFC North
Looks like they are wearing the HoF-patches again this week http://instagram.com/p/TT9066MuXd/ #nicetats
Rough pile-on / Fumble recovery against the Chargers.
With the Chargers 14-0 down already I'll not be having to stay up late to finish the game :
Ouch...
Solid Panthers drive (where was the D?) and Rivers drops the ball on the 21. Dear ohh dear. Also, Tolbert was a Charger last year. Salt and wounds.
Grrrr 21-0.
I am now home, watching Seattle, Dallas and SPOTY, and drinking cup a soup, eating cockles :-)
I've got Panthers-Chargers + Steelers-Cowboys + Big Bang Theory, plus following SPOTY in the other thread.
Pittsburgh are done. They're going nowhere this year.
Stick a fork in 'em?
Ravens must be breathing a huge sigh right now.
Psy is performing Gangum Style in the half time show at the Seattle-Buffalo game:-)
Slightly amazing
Tie in Dallas.
And Seattle just scored again.
Chargers should pull Rivers, so that he doesn't get killed when they're clearly not going to win.
Did I hear someone writing off the Steelers earlier? :p
It's only Dallas.
@AndrewSiciliano: Chiefs at the half: 17 yards, no first downs.
Oh, Kansas City... such an amazing team.
Oh my goodness, Thomas just made the Bills look like utter numpties.
and another return for a TD mercifully brought back for a hold.
mind you, there were two fouls, might explain why the return was so easy...
Chargers are playing poorly, so I'm not staying up to suffer. Listening to PIT DAL on 5LX.
