Colts ball , five minutes to play , need two touchdowns to win . Colts need to run 2 minute drill and get a quick score . Denver held ball 9 1/2 minutes on last FG drive helped by Colts face mask penalty on a 3rd & 21 .

CJ Anderson over 100 yards rushing. Denver working down the clock by keeping the ball on the ground. Added field goal after using up 9:40. 25-13.
Colts fail on fourth down on their own 45. Ball back to Denver- about 4:00 left though probably over at this point.

During the streak of 7 blown halftime leads ( 14 games ) , Colts have been outscored 223 - 88 in the second half .
Outscored 18-3 in the second half today. Is that poor conditioning- players getting tired- or is it the Colts not making adjustments while the other team does? Denver kept rotating their running backs to keep them fresh and ran a lot in the second half- 213 total rushing yards in the game. Anderson finished with 158.
Calling it a "partial dislocation" and done for the season (Denver only has two games left anyways). Now the question is who do you play at QB? Top draft pick Paxton Lynch missed a good chunk of the season due to injury, got in one game- played poorly- (to be expected- he doesn't have much actual NFL game experience) and injured his ankle his first game back. He is expected to be able to play next week. Give him a chance to get more experience (and more info to base your decision on what to do about a QB for next year)? Or go with the experienced Osweiler who has been playing very well lately (he had a couple rougher outings too)? Siemian has had a tendency to throw too many interceptions (he had another in the first quarter against the Colts before he was injured) and Lynch has had problems with injuries. Do you trade for another QB in the off season? Draft one? Let Lynch play and if you lose you get a better pick. If you win, he gets more NFL experience.
At least Denver doesn't have a lot invested in quarterbacks financially. Guys like Derek Carr are getting about $25 million. Trevor Siemien is getting about half a $million this year. Paxton Lynch gets $450,000. Osweiler only signed a one year deal and is getting $16 million but Bronco's share of that is only $750,000 with Cleveland owing him the other $15.2 million.
Chiefs beat Chargers to get a two game lead with two games left (one game lead in overall record plus one game for tiebreaker- two head to head wins). Chargers (7-7) half a game behind Baltimore and Buffalo for the wild card. Ravens play the winless Browns this week while the Bills get the Dolphins and Patriots after that. Chargers now face a difficult time making the playoffs.
Patriots/ Steelers probably the biggest game for today.

Olsen is looking good this game. It's good to see the Newton/Olsen team up again. And a hell of a one handed catch........
Funchess in the end zone. No TD. Took a helluva hit. Panthers need him in the game.
The left butt cheek of Byrd brings a challenge by the Panthers against ref rule. Overturned . TD for Panthers.
Panthers 24 Packers 14

Panthers are running away. 31 to Packers 14 in the fourth.
Vikings up 34 - 0 , put Bridgewater in , first pass is intercepted , Cincy scores .
Panthers handling business. Funny hearing the announcers who were slobbering Rodgers knob, making excuses for him now.
No - No - No - No

Lol. I just told my baby that if I were writing the script the Packers would get the ball back and it would go tie into OT. and the Packers just recovered a on side kick. Lol.
Fumble. Panthers should be able to run out the clock- no GB timeouts left.
Aaron Rodgers- three TD but three INTs.
Eagles/ Giants going down to the end of the game. Giants 4th and goal on the six down by five. About a minute left.
False start- now back to the eleven yardline.
Eagles stop- incomplete pass. Just need to run the clock out. Giants still have three time outs which will slow it down.
Were able to force punt. Ball on own 27 but only 13 seconds left.

Lol. I'm wrong again. Carolina gets the ball back on a fumble. Game over.
Panthers 31 Packers 24
Panthers move into top of NFC south with 10-4. Play offs are not out of their reach if they don't lose anyone. Olsen is back and that is a great positive.
Keep pounding!

Jacksonville clinches playoff spot. Buffalo and Baltimore win to stay game ahead of Chargers in wild card- Buffalo has tiebreaker for now. Eagles could have clinched home field had the Vikings lost. Still guarantee a first round bye with their win today. Saints win to keep lead in their division but don't clinch yet.
Rams beating up on Seattle- up 27-0 in first half.
Make that 34-0 at the half. Seahawks have 59 total yards. Ram's Gurley has 144 yards rushing and three TDs in the first half.
