The Football Gods apparently wished for endless chaos for Christmas and we ended up with a week of pure insanity as a result. A Game of the Week contender on Thursday (made a video about it over the weekend). A sudden surge to swipe a game away two days later. And then Steelers/Lions. At least the final two minutes. Good lord. Some teams have all the luck. Some of us get to bask in the blessings of the pigskin. And some of us slowly die from having to try and decipher whatever the hell's going on. Then another dedicated sect is praying to the altar of a fickle goddess: The glorious tank. Next week will bring us a showdown of suck not seen for a while.

But this week in sportsball has offered us a plentiful bounty. Let's dig in and try our damndest to sift through the explosion of football that occurred.
