Following the final week of the regular season, the Bears’ opponents for 2021 have been set.

The Giants did what they had to do on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive. All they needed was a little help from their friends in Philadelphia. But the Eagles clearly wanted no part of that.

* Giants relied on Eagles win over Washington for playoff place * Philly opted to replace starter with back-up during gameThe New York Giants reacted in fury after their arch-rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, made several questionable decisions during their regular season finale against Washington.The Giants had beaten the Dallas Cowboys earlier on Sunday, meaning they would win the NFC East – and a place in the playoffs – if the Eagles beat Washington. The Eagles, perhaps with an eye on a better position in this year’s draft, sat a number of starters. Then, with the game finely balanced in the fourth quarter, Eagles coach Doug Pederson replaced starting quarterback Jalen Hurts with the team’s third-stringer, Nate Sudfeld. Sudfeld promptly lost a fumble and threw an interception as Washington won the game 20-14 and sealed the NFC East. “This is sickening,” wrote Giants receiver Darius Slayton on Twitter. “You play the game to win point blank period JJ Watt said it best the other day outside of how it effects us this just disrespectful to the game.”> Why on gods green earth is Jalen Hurts not in the game> > — Darius Slayton (@Young_Slay2) January 4, 2021“I think the eagles just hate us more than washington. That’s only thing that could make sense right?” added Slayton’s teammate, Golden Tate. Running back Saquon Barkley wrote: “Can someone make it make sense to me what’s going on.”Washington will now play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in next week’s wildcard round. The Giants, meanwhile, ended the season with a 6-10 record.

In the end, this was how the NFC East had to be won, with the Eagles coach not really trying to win the game and Washington barely prevailing anyway.

His fate was sealed somewhere during a season-opening, 13-game losing streak – the kind of stretch no head coach could possibly survive. But the Jets waited until Sunday, shortly after their miserable season ended, to make it official. Adam Gase is out of a job.

They had to sweat it out until the last minutes, but the Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers to end the longest playoff drought in the NFL.

When you break it down, the stats suggest that Sean McVay’s confidence in Jared Goff has wavered. Now, he needs his QB to step up in a critical Week 17 game.
