Here we are, just days after Thanksgiving Day, and the NFL has already invested in several games with significant playoff implications. While the 9-2 Los Angeles Rams play on Sunday morning, the team is impacted by the results of the games played earlier this week. And so it goes as the season winds down. The pressure and the impacts go up.
And so, here we are, preparing to face the Carolina Panthers, but keeping the rest of the NFL games in the periphery. Some teams that were red hot no longer are. Other teams that struggled are suddenly getting hot.
