There are some scrap fights going on down the stretch. With both teams and individual players.
In the AFC Jacksonville clinched their 3rd consecutive South title. The rest are a dog fight. Cleveland and Cincinnati are knotted up. New England grabbed a 1 game lead over Buffalo but the remain 3 games on both teams schedule favors Buffalo. And the West Kansas City holds onto a 1 game lead over those Super Chargers and 2 games over Oakland. Kansas City plays a much tough schedule down the stretch than the other two. Including a huge game against Oakland this week.
The AFC wild card race has San Diego, Oakland, New England, Buffalo, Cleveland and Cincinnati all battling for two spots on top of their division races. You'd expect to hear this many teams battling it out at the midway point but we only have 3 games left. Holy Smackers.
In the NFC, is a lil more defined. Washington, Seattle, Chicago and New Orleans have clinched a playoff spot with Seattle clinching their first NFC West crown. San Francisco is in the drivers seat for one wild card spot with Los Angeles, Green Bay, Minnesota and Carolina all trying to grab that last spot. And even Philly still has an outside shot.
The personal titles are close as well. Washington's QB Henry Smith has a chance to reach 7,000 yds on the season. He is looking to be the hands on favorite to lead the QB's All-Pro team.
The rushing title is a lil closer with Chicago's RB Pedro Ford trying to hold off Detroit's RB and defending title holder Edward Takahashi and the 49ers RB Michael Perry to claim his first. He leads Takahashi 101 yds and Perry by a 124 yds. The Redskins Stephen McClain holds Paydirt's single season record with 2,087 done in 1970.
Other notables, the Giants WR Colston leads in receptions, KC's defensive line tandem of DE Denniston and DT Griffin are tied with 20 sacks a piece. Cleveland's DT Dustin Rosamond holds the record with 25.
Buffalo's CB Michael Cleveland leads the Int race with 8. The season record is held by Philly's CB Michael Preiss who had 10 in 1971.
Washington's WR Mike Glick leads the league with 19 TD's. 25 TD's is the league record held by Washington's WR Stephen McClain done in 1970.
Correction: Washington and New Orleans had clinched their divisions. Seattle has clinched a playoff berth not their division as they have the Rams hot on their trail.
