The NFL playoff picture is about to come into focus

It’s Week 16 in the NFL. Do you know where your team stands?

TROUBLING ACCUSATIONS ABOUT PEYTON MANNING: Peyton Manning accused of using HGH in 2011. So here’s the story that’s going to carry the NFL, and sports in general, news cycle for a while, and it’s a doozy. Al Jazeera is reporting that Manning used HGH in 2011, the year he sat out with a neck injury. He’s not the only player featured in the report that spans the NFL, MLB and Olympic athletes as well.

KIRK COUSINS IS GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS: Washington clinches the NFC East. A 38-24 win against the Eagles on Saturday night put Washington back into the playoffs for the first time since the 2012 season. Speaking of, Kirk Cousins kneeled when his team could've scored, and nobody has any idea why. "YOU SPIKE THAT?!?!?!?!?!?" -- Kirk Cousins

THE EAGLES ARE BAD NOW: The Eagles need A LOT of help. Maybe that starts with taking away the GM duties from Chip Kelly, maybe. At the very least, the roster has big holes to fill during the offseason.

LIGHTS OUT: The lights went out on Chip Kelly’s postgame press conference. This pretty much says it all.

PLACE YOUR BETS: NFL picks against the spread: 5 good bets for Week 16. That includes a bet on the Jaguars to cover a 3-point spread on the road, so maybe it’s four good bets and a really crazy one.

PLAYOFF PICTURE: Here is the NFL playoff picture and scenarios for Week 16. The Chiefs, Jets and Steelers are all on winning streaks and could boot the Broncos from playoff contention.

RAWLS RULES: Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls surprises a little girl after seeing her freak out over getting his jersey. This is fantastic.

ALONE ON CHRISTMAS: Saints linebacker posts video of himself realizing he’s all alone on Christmas. [Elvis Presley voice] “I’ll have a blue Christmas / without you ...”

NSFW LIGHTS: Carson Palmer came home from church to find a NSFW light display in his driveway. “Came home from church to this awesomeness,” writes the Arizona Cardinals quarterback.
