Amazingly, the Broncos/Raiders game does actually have playoff implications, if the Steelers and Jaguars both lose. In that situation, if the Broncos win, then the Steelers get the 7 seed and the Jaguars are out, otherwise, if the Raiders win, then the Jaguars get the 7 seed and the Steelers are out.

LOL. Nice to see the NFL “downgrading” Allen’s crew for the playoffs, but giving them a game with playoff implications. Roger Goddell is a complete ID10T.

I happen to know an NFL official. He has known his schedule for months. BA has probably been scheduled to that game since mid October

The officials controls the outcome of every NFL football game wake up the NFL is like everything else the games are being manipulated by the refers because of all the money that’s involved in controlling the outcome of these games . The NFL needs to fix this .maybe they should have the officials wear body cameras that might help

Sexist much? Also, you are extremely delusional if you really think the officials control the outcomes. Take off the tinfoil hat pal. The refs would do a good job, and you’d still whine about them.
