NFL: What to Watch For in Week 17
By Ryan Ratty
NFC South Title Game
The NFC South has truly be horrible in 2014. The Atlanta Falcons are 5-0 in the division, but they are 1-9 against the rest of the NFL. Their opponent, the Carolina Panthers, started the year 3-8-1. If it weren’t for a three-game winning streak and the implosion of the Falcons and the New Orleans Saints, the Panthers’ season would mean nothing and Ron Rivera would be looking for another job.
Despite the terrible seasons both teams have had in 2014, getting to the playoffs is the most important thing and both coaches have a chance of making it there by winning on Sunday. Julio Jones is banged up, but he will give it a go. Cam Newton was rusty last week after returning from a back injury that sidelined him in Week 15 because of a car crash he was involved in. Throw the records out the window in this game. This game will be a fun one to watch for sure.
