The NFL’s four worst teams went all out in two battles for draft position.
While some teams were hitting hard for playoff spots in Week 16, others were either trying to stay out of the NFL’s bargain bin, or stealthily tanking for better draft picks. Actually, in the cases of four of the five worst teams in the league — the Dolphins, Bengals, Giants, and Redskins — there were two games on Sunday that went into overtime, and all four of these teams were competitive, at least with each other. The Giants beat the Redskins 41-35 as Daniel Jones threw his fifth touchdown pass of the day, and the Dolphins beat the Bengals, 38-35, as Ryan Fitzpatrick became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw four touchdown passes for five different teams.
Of course, when you’re in the running for the first overall pick, and you’re still trying to win games, your fanbase will not generally be impressed.
