Congratulations to Frank Gore - the former 49ers running back just reached 14,000 rushing yards in the final game of the season with the Colts. He's just one of 5 men to reach that target. He again reached 1,200 yards from scrimmage (that is, his combined receiving and rushing yardage) - that's the 12th season in a row that he's done so. A fine player and a consistently great career.
In other news, the Pats finish the regular season top of the AFC, the Steelers have the other AFC bye. The Eagles were shut out by Dallas but still finish top of the NFC and the Vikings have the other NFC bye.

I have an NFL problem (besides the whole CTE issue, that is).Pies4shaw wrote:...

The problem is that, to the extent that I have a team, it is the Patriots, but their past actions have left me rather disconcerted. I could, I suppose, defect to the Steelers, to whom I also have some sort of link, but their QB is also rather disconcerting.
Hmmm.....
CTE, of course, is a much bigger worry, but I know the solution to that (though not how to convince the powers that be to adopt it).
So, Wild Card round is done and dusted. In the NFC, the Panthers and the Rams lost and in the AFC, the Chiefs and the Bills finished up.
In Divisional Round, Atlanta go to Philly (8.35 am Sunday, AEDST), the Titans get to lose to the Pats at 12.15 pm on Sunday, Jacksonville are at Pittsburgh at 5.05 am on Monday (probably the best game of the round) and New Orleans are at Minnesota at 8.40 am (that should also be a good game).
My selections are Atlanta, Pats, Steelers and Vikes.
