So not a great week for a lot of NFL teams, fantasy teams, football in general. Lots of players and offenses didn't do their job and didn't get things done. Most of them still get another week to play. Most of us fantasy teams are done, lucky if the other team had more underperformers than we did.

Lost a couple of tough playoff games myself, and they sting. I come to grips with the ones where players didn't do as well as expected, because that's not your fault. It's only the ones where I made lineup decisions that in retrospect I knew were faulty where I kick myself. And try to remember it a year from now so I don't make those mistakes again.

Panthers at Falcons: In a year where several teams were 10-0 or so, nobody will make it to even 15. I thought the Panthers might come out flat after the tough game at the Meadowlands last week, but I figured it would be a lower-scoring win -- not a loss. But Devonta Freeman scored early, Julio Jones hauled in what was essentially a Hail Mary touchdown pass from Matt Ryan, and Carolina's offense was just out of sync all day. Cam Newton had two chances with the ball in the final minutes but couldn't pick up the first down. Scrambled less than I expected, too.

Steelers at Ravens: This was a killer and about as unexpected as it gets. Pittsburgh's offense was on fire the entire second half of the season, and an injury-riddled pass defense that had struggled for most of the season was the one to shut it down. Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant just ruined lineups. Brown lost a touchdown on a replay review that I'm still not certain about, but whatever. Did Pittsburgh look past Baltimore? Heated divisional rivalry made the difference? Surprisingly good game for Ryan Mallett and Javorius Allen, usual day for Kamar Aiken. So Atlanta and Baltimore both end their seasons with a memorable upset.

Cowboys at Bills: Darren McFadden got 99 yards, but naturally didn't score. Mike Gillislee was the noteworthy player, backing up Karlos Williams but putting up big overall yardage and scoring once and nearly a second, ruled just short of the end zone. Decent PPR numbers out of Sammy Watkins. It's a good defense Dallas has, ironically in a year where their offense has been horrible. Not giving Buffalo's defense any credit for this too little, too late performance. Funny how the team that really needed LeSean McCoy this year didn't have him.

49ers at Lions: Big game for Matthew Stafford, and naturally Calvin Johnson catches a touchdown after back-to-back duds that helped eliminate most of us who had Johnson on our teams. Nothing else of note in this game beyond San Francisco playing well and scoring some points early and then doing absolutely nothing after that. Lions have played well enough down the stretch that some thought will be given to keeping around Jim Caldwell, much to the detriment of the Lions, who can't ever seem to get those decisions correct.

Browns at Kansas City: Kansas City dominated this game early and certainly should have won big, but they kind of went to sleep and were fortunate the Browns ran out of time late. Some nice places here and there (after halftime) by Johnny Manziel, who does just enough to make some think he'll be a good NFL quarterback one day, not quite enough to actually make it seem likely. But maybe he'll light up Pittsburgh in Week 17 and put something good on tape for Cleveland's next coach. Best of all, he ran for a bunch of yards today, which makes him a viable fantasy starter. ... Kelce and Maclin scored, so two of the three Kansas City players you should have been starting did their job. Not so much Charcandrick West against a bad run defense. Not enough carries and one catch for negative yards.

Colts at Dolphins: Two tackle-breaking touchdown runs by Frank Gore, which simultaneously proved that Gore still has a little something left in those old legs and also that the Dolphins are the sorriest tackling team in the league. ... Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker finished with nice numbers for Miami in the sad, losing effort. Lamar Miller scored but his 15 carries went for just 31 yards.

Patriots at Jets: My 10-year-old son couldn't believe the Patriots elected to kick away in overtime. I explained, no, it makes sense, all they have to do is force a punt and then win with a field goal. As I continued to explain, the Jets marched down the field for the winning touchdown. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a couple of beautiful balls in overtime and in the fourth quarter, including one that should have been a game-winning touchdown that Quincy Enunwa dropped. Fitzpatrick has earned his money. Anyway, it says a lot about what Bill Belichick thinks of his injury-ravaged offense that he thought kicking off made more sense than going on offense. ... Big game for Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker caught the winning score in overtime. These guys won fantasy titles.

Bears at Bucs: Another frustrating game I'd say for pretty much everyone. Chicago's third running back scored 2 TDs, while the other guys had all the yards. Mike Evans didn't do much. Doug Martin scored, but just 49 yards. A whole lot of turnovers and not many usable players. Bears were kind of a good team at the end of the year. Not good enough, but not much different from the rest of the NFC North.

Texans at Titans: Boom. Houston steamrolls Tennessee and would already be division champs if the Dolphins weren't so pathetic in their home loss to the Colts. Congrats to Brandon Weeden, who was responsible for 3 TDs (2 passing, 1 rushing) with no one obviously starting him anywhere. But he helped DeAndre Hopkins and Nate Washington have good games, so there's that. Blue and Polk split carries ineffectively and didn't score. Delanie Walker, the only Titan anyone should have started, caught 9 passes. Tennessee rushed for 30 yards in this game.

Jaguars at Saints: Offensive weapon was kind of offensive early on in this game. Dropped a pass, botched a handoff, dropped another pass. Nobody who watched Denard Robinson in this game got the idea he's anything more than a change of pace type back. Of course Blake Bortles, as is his custom, threw a couple of early picks. But he finished with 4 TDs and huge passing yards, keeping his fantastic fantasy season going. If he could just cut down on the interceptions he'd be as good an NFL quarterback as a fantasy one. He sure has a nice receiving corps, too. ... Saints made C.J. Spiller a healthy scratch for this one; ouch. Tim Hightower -- again, could have used one of those scores last week, buddy -- had a big day against a run defense that played well almost all season. Kudos to Drew Brees, who didn't let his fantasy teams down the last two weeks.

Packers at Cardinals: So in case anyone didn't get to see this game, the short story is that Green Bay is not a very good football team, and if they in fact win the NFC North next week, they'll be a weaker division winner than Washington. At least Washington is playing well now! Nothing good happened for the Packers in this game beyond a receiving touchdown for Eddie Lacy where Aaron Rodgers just shoveled it out to him and the clearly overweight Lacy managed to rumble into the end zone after a couple of poor angles taken by tacklers. As for Carson Palmer and all three of his receivers, who had good games, where was that last week, guys? Could have used it when I was losing in the semifinal by 5 points. Not that I'm bitter.

Rams at Seahawks: Note to self, place more stock in divisional rivalries helping lesser teams with nothing to play for (Ravens, Rams) knock off playoff-caliber teams with plenty on the line. Although maybe Seattle didn't really care that much about being the 5th or 6th seed, which factored into them laying an egg here. Also their ground game was a lot better with Lynch and actually Thomas Rawls than it is with Michael-Brown. Todd Gurley, the only Ram you probably started, scored late to reward those of us who started him.

Giants at Vikings: Wow, it's almost like one team was eliminated the previous night and another team had to win to clinch a playoff spot. And so it was a good old fashioned thrashing. Not much to say about this eyesore, beyond it will be a rough offseason for the Giants, and the Vikings running game is much better invested in than the passing game. And let's move on.

Monday, Monday: Interesting game tonight. Spent the weekend trying to hide the HGH reports from my son, seeing as Peyton is his favorite player. As for this game, I think it will be a low-scoring one, and I would not want to be relying on big points from anyone. Committee running backs, young quarterbacks facing tough defenses, etc. You also have the Bengals clinching a division title yesterday, and yes there's seeding at stake, but that doesn't always seem to be a big motivator. I'm thinking Broncos 19, Bengals 16, or something similarly ugly.
