For the first time since 2003, the Rams are NFC West champions.

New Orleans punched its ticket to the postseason with a 23-13 win over the Falcons at the Superdome.

Lattimore’s fifth interception of the season was the most memorable for the rookie from Ohio State.

The Saints quarterback joined Brett Favre and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks in NFL history with at least 70,000 passing yards.

The Patriots had previously ruled out running back Rex Burkhead for Sunday’s AFC East tilt, and will not have Chris Hogan or James White.

The NFC North champions inched closer to a first-round by on Saturday with a 16-0 win over the Packers at Lambeau Field.

The Ravens moved closer to a playoff berth and a win next week over the Bengals will have Baltimore in the postseason.

Savage has not played since suffering a concussion against the 49ers on Dec. 10.

Either the NFL playoff picture will be even more muddled heading into regular season’s final week, or it will be crystal clear on Christmas.

There is no Thursday game in Week 16, but two games Saturday and two more Monday can firm up the playoff race.
