Week 17: The NFL’s Also-Rans Reveal Themselves

To even be included in the playoff discussion come Week 17, the Dolphins, Jaguars and Giants have to win their Week 16 games. These games are sure to be hotly contested, as these teams will be playing with heart and....

↵Oh, wait a minute. At their respective halves, the Dolphins are down 27-3, the Jaguars trail 28-0, and the Giants are behind 24-0.

↵So, provided these three teams don’t mount historic comebacks, here’s what we can deduce.

↵- If the Cowboys and Packers each win at least one of their next two games, the Giants are out.

↵- The AFC wild card herd will be thinned somewhat, with the Jets, Ravens, Texans, and Broncos in the discussion entering the 4:00 games. If the Steelers can beat the Ravens (they lead 20-10 at the half), they’ll be in the mix too. So it’s still unclear, but, uh, less unclear.

↵- David Garrard is bad at football.
