Well they made hard work of that one. Fitting that Higgins got the winning score. After all that, still expect the Bengals to miss out!

What a catch by Higgins

Two of them late on. Great play under pressure. They didn't trust York with another FG attempt lol

Same with the Broncos tbf. Didn’t go for two and I can’t believe how many times on crucial plays they’ve thrown five yards behind the line of scrimmage. 

Broncos get a weakened resting Chiefs next week so should be ok

As much of a **** as he was, OJ's 2003 yards in 1973, in what was then only a 14 game season, will for me remain the gold standard of rushing seasons.

I think the Bills barely threw the ball that season.

 

But sure, he really carved up opposition defences.

True. But that makes it an even more impressive feat, no? Everyone on defense knew he was getting the ball but they still couldn't stop him.

Yeah good point. They had a great front line though and built the team around Simpson running the ball. But yes an incredible feat in 14 games against some fearsome defences of that era.

Yes, it's all opinions really. The facts are that Barkley needs exactly 101 yards or more against his old team the Giants next week to break Eric Dickerson's single season record of 2105 rushing yards. I think he'll do it.

The Eagles are locked in as the no.2 seed in the NFC and so Barkley is being rested today. So no chance to break the record.

I get why, but missing out on a chance to break a record that's stood for 40 years is tough.

You could see how disappointed he was when doing his media interviews earlier this week. It's only the Giants, he could get the yards he needs before HT.

Hahahahaha. Bears made the Packers look like mugs there.

Imagine the packers won’t be arsed when they’re in the playoffs and the bears aren’t.

Trust me, they want to avoid the Eagles in the first round!

Commanders take the lead at almost the same time the Bears win it against Packers at the death.
