2018 NFL Season ends: Patriots win Superbowl!

The Steelers being kept out of the playoffs because of a tie against the Browns could be the highlight of the 2018 NFL season.

Classic battle between Steelers and Ravens for playoff spot. Just they aren't playing each other.

the Browns somehow going 8-7-1 with a win over the Ravens to get the Steelers into the playoffs would be an amazing story and rival the USMNT getting a win to send Mexico to the World Cup

however, the Ravens are currently playing the best football in the AFC, so that seems unlikely
 
This is life with the salary cap

They spent a lot of money on their CBs, but Peters has been consistently torched this year. They have little money in their LBs, and it shows in their run D, which is in the bottom half of the league. I doubt Suh and Peters are back next year, but it's a strong defensive draft, so I expect LA to load up on all 3 levels of the D.

CSY, yeah, the Steelers and my Ravens should play each other the last game of every year. It's been the best rivalry in the game over the last 15 years, and they've had many memorable late season tilts.
 
The Eagles/Racists, Bears/Vikings, and Rams/49ers games are all scheduled at the same time. There's a plausible scenario where the Rams are running it up on SF, the Bears coaches notice and pull their starters since a Rams win locks Chicago into the 3 seed, giving the Vikings an easier shot to win and rendering the Eagles game pointless.

Meanwhile the Chiefs, Chargers, Steelers, and Ravens will be playing with one eye on the out of town scoreboard.

Have to give the NFL props for scheduling this well.

No need for the Ravens to keep an eye on the scoreboard. Steelers are playing a Bengals team without Dalton, AJ Green and Boyd and with a D that has been getting gashed every game. You can take judicial notice that the Steelers will kill Cincy. Whereas the Browns are 5-2 since canning Jackson and have been playing pretty darned well. That game is nowhere near a given and has me worried.

The two most scumbaggy-franchises in the NFL outside of the Cowboys, hilariously ugly uniforms on both sides, usually awful weather, the Ravens can never throw the ball to their decades-long interchangeable cast of stone-handed receivers, the Steelers' focus is usually on their suspended/malcontent player du jour, both teams manage to play both minimal scoring offense combined with good yet frustratingly unexciting defense, Harbaugh the jackass, Tomlin the buffoon, Flacco, Ray Lewis killing people and dancing like a clown, listening to the announcers fellate Roethlisburger, the Steelers getting several horrible calls go their way, horrible fans on both sides (bandwagoners for Pitt, a weird combo of insufferable Redskins/Eagles/Colts/Browns inferiority complex rejects for Balt), the list goes on and on.

Jim Leyritz directly killed someone but you celebrate him because he hit a baseball one time.

You're a jackass.
 
Eagles may have a QB dilemma if they make the playoffs, Foles has another great game and Wentz is healthy. Who does Pederson start?

Mike Tomlin the buffoon who has never had a losing season in twelve years?

Yeah, I hate the Steelers, but I respect the heck out of Colbert and Tomlin. Tomlin may not be the best game manager, but he's done a great job managing some disparate personalities and keeping them on the same page the last few years.
