With four playoff berths on the table, plus an additional two NFC division titles, Week 17 promises to be as exciting as any postseason weekend.
The two easy scenarios feature winner-take-all games for the NFC North and East titles. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers visit the Bears at 4:25 Eastern in a game that much of America won't see (especially in Saints, Cardinals, Seahawks and 49ers territory). Kyle Orton and the Cowboys welcome the Eagles in the 8:30 Eastern game, which you can watch here and on NBC.

Good to see Denver has a reason to play hard.
Against the Raiders, Manning might be able to cross the 60 TD mark ;)

I’m sure you’ve heard, Andrew Luck has now moved into the #1 position for most yards completed by a rookie in his first 2 seasons. And kicker Adam Vinatieri is currently 1 yard short of 2000 points. He may top it soon, as the colts are about to score again.

Wow, thanks! I was listening to an online radio broadcast.
And it’s not only the Colts game, they have all sorts of other sports available there to watch live online, including NBA games. Thanks again!

Not the best quality, though. But that’s ok. Just glad to be able to watch it, as well as those other available sports games in the future. :)

Well, this comment has nothing to do with this thread, as none of the teams I’ll mention are going to the playoffs. But, I’m watching Detroit at Minnesota on Fox and the color commentator called the Redskins the “Washington Franchise.” His play-by-play guy asked him if he meant to say “franchise” and the idiot guy dodged by saying, that the team is located in Washington. Why not just kick the team out of the NFL and be done with it? Pajama Boy Idiots!
