Celebrating the Chaos of the NFL’s Week 17

The NFL has declined to put any of Week 17’s games on prime time TV, and The Ringer’s Kevin Clark has written an ode to the overstuffed Sunday afternoon of football to come. Sunday offers theatrics of all kinds because so many of week’s games offer playoff implications or implications for the livelihood of a head coach.
