Tipping Points: Week 15

On the precipice of the playoffs, Week 15 delivered some serious drama. Not only did the critical Texans-Titans and Bills-Steelers games come down to the end of their fourth quarters, a handful of on-paper potential blowouts ended up as close games. One even led to a massive upset and landed a spot as the Tipping Points Game of the Week.

Game of the Week

Falcons at 49ers

It made sense that the 49ers led last week's Tipping Points column in their battle for the No. 1 NFC seed with the Saints. I would not have expected the same this week with the 49ers back at home and favored to beat the NFC South basement-dwelling Falcons by more than 10 points.
