Is NFC South winner doomed in playoffs? Are Steelers toast? Let's overreact to Week 17
"Week 17 is absolutely begging us to overreact to it. The Steelers have already blown it! Derrick Henry is going to play five more seasons and break every record! The Texans' defense is going to be unbeatable in the playoffs! Tyler Shough is a franchise QB! The Commanders need to fire everybody! A lot happened before Sunday in Week 17. There was a lot resolved, too, and a spicy Week 18 is set up with two division titles and two 1-seeds on the line."
"Baltimore and Henry put on a show Saturday night in a 41-24 victory at Lambeau Field. Henry ran for 216 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 36 carries. In addition to rescuing the championship dreams of thousands of fantasy football managers, he also kept the Ravens' season alive, as they prevailed in a must-win game in which they played without injured starting quarterback Lamar Jackson."
Week 17 generated dramatic outcomes that encourage strong reactions but require careful evaluation. Several headline narratives emerged, including criticism of the Steelers, bullish outlooks on Derrick Henry, praise for the Texans' defense, and debate over young quarterbacks and team personnel. The week resolved key playoff positioning and set up a consequential Week 18 with two division titles and two No. 1 seeds at stake. Baltimore defeated Green Bay 41-24 with Derrick Henry rushing for 216 yards and four touchdowns in Lamar Jackson's absence. The Browns beat Pittsburgh 13-6, preventing Pittsburgh from clinching the AFC North.
