Where do the playoff races stand after chaotic Week 16? " Inside The Star
"Detroit had a win stolen from them on Sunday. There's just no other way to put it. The OPI on Amon-Ra St. Brown was questionable. The OPI called two plays earlier that wiped the game-winning touchdown off the board the first time was criminal. It wasn't offensive pass interference in any universe. Save for the official who threw the flag."
"Right now, only the NFC East has a locked-in division champion. Carolina and Tampa Bay will battle for the NFC South over the next two weeks. One will be the No. 4 seed. The other will be home for the playoffs. Which leaves six teams fighting for two divisional spots and the three wildcards. The best the Lions can do is capture the final wildcard."
The Cowboys are eliminated while Seattle currently holds the NFC's No. 1 seed but must win its final two games at Carolina and vs. San Francisco to keep that spot. San Francisco sits as the No. 5 seed with a tiebreaker over the Rams, who dropped to No. 6 despite one loss. Green Bay sits seventh, 1.5 games ahead of Detroit after a controversial OPI on Amon-Ra St. Brown negated a Lions touchdown. Only the NFC East is locked; Carolina and Tampa Bay will decide the NFC South. Six teams vie for two division spots and three wildcards; most teams need wins and help.
