Nine games kick off at 1:00, three of which carry varying degrees of playoff implications. Both the Steelers and Dolphins, who kick off at Miami Gardens, are still in the hunt, although the Dolphins' prospects are more of a mathematical curiosity than anything else. The Texans, who host the Patriots, must win to stay relevant as the day progresses. And if the Jaguars beat the Browns, their chances of reaching the postseason will vault from 1.8% to a lofty 3.4%.
