What are the top storylines for the NFLā€˜s Week 14 slate?

We’re down to the final four games of the 2014 NFL regular season, and as is is every year about this time—chaos reigns.

Which is really why we love the sport and why other organizations like the NCAA are trying to replicate it with the college football playoffs (well, that and March Madness). You never know how things will shake out. Sure you have New England, Green Bay, Denver and Indianapolis locked into playoff spots as usual, but there are a ton of teams still in the hunt.

And with divisions like the AFC North, the race is so tight that every single team has a chance both to make the playoffs and miss out. Meanwhile, the sad-sack NFC South is still wondering who is going to back into the playoffs and if that team will be 8-8.

We spend a lot of time with those divisions, as well as a game with a ton of implications for more both the NFC East and West in today’s Top 5 Stories of the NFL.
