The end of the year sprint is on.
There is holiday shopping to be done, dinner plans to be made, traveling to do and some New Year’s resolutions to make good on. In between all of that, plenty of NFL teams are looking ahead towards the playoffs – the season that really matters.

It’s a wide-open league this regular season, which has been anything but regular.
That has made for some funky weeks and some head-scratching results, but you can’t shake the feeling that the cream hasn’t risen to the top just yet.
The same can’t be said for the bottom-dwellers, however. The race to the bottom has revealed the top candidates and it’s only heating up more as the weeks tick by.
While the Tennessee Titans are in a league of their own, there are plenty of other teams lurking in the hopes that the Music City can find another win.
