Results So Far
Check to see if you’ll be able to watch the Los Angeles Chargers’ season finale.
The Los Angeles Chargers are on the road to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the season finale.
The majority of the nation will be able to tune in. If you’re in the periwinkle (purple) area of the map, you’ll get the game on CBS.
If you’re in the red area on the map you’ll watch the Miami Dolphins take on the New England Patriots. For those in the green area, you’ll see the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills.
Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon will be the two calling the game. Sunday’s kickoff is slated for 10:00 a.m. PT.
From the Ravens and Patriots to the Eagles and Cardinals, here were the top 5 offensive line performances for a wild NFL Week 16.
Twas the days before Christmas, when all through the NFL, Week 16 was pretty entertaining, even that from bowler Le’Veon Bell.
The divisions clashed, with playoff hopes dancing in their head, a few tickets were punched, while Cleveland is mathematically dead.
The NFC East is still hard to explain, Philly’s kind of soaring and Dallas needs a plane. And the NFC South with its Thomas and Brees, Jamies was busy gifting, I wondered what coverage he actually sees.
When all of a sudden, there rose such a clatter, the Chargers were booed and hey Seattle, what’s the matter. And who’s that, over there, with the coach who’s not very chatty?
Why that’s just an AFC East powerhouse, once famously on to Cincinnati.
So happy holidays to all and enough with these rhymes, from down in the trenches of Week 16, let’s check out my favorite lines.
There’s not a ton of feel-good breakdowns for this Giants team, but the youthful surge on Sunday had to make the fan base and organization breathe a tiny sigh of Rolaids-infused air.
Daniel Jones was lights out (on?), tying a rookie QB record with five touchdown passes. (He partied with Eli afterward, which is special in its own right.) Saquon Barkley’s day? Wow. Wow. Wow! Just your not-so-typical 22 carries for 189 yards and one touchdown. And speaking of keeping an eye edge rushers, the Giants’ offensive line put together one of the better efforts I’ve seen from them (the line is still an issue for the team, but still, impressive on this day).
True, the Redskins’ defense isn’t a tormenting force, ranked 11th against the pass, 29th against the run. But there weren’t many moments where it seemed like the run block was being pushed backward, and they handled the Redskins’ blitz, too. The substantial protection gave Jones time to make his reads, including during the final onslaught, with a strong pick-up as the game-winning touchdown unfolded.
FOR. THE. WIN.#GiantsPride | #NYGvsWAS pic.twitter.com/b5oPT0LCO8

John Halapio, Will Hernandez, Kevin Zeitler, Nate Solder, and Mike Remmers: Overall, it was a job well done. Next up…yep: Blocking Chase Young.
The biggest game on Sunday is on Fox when the Cowboys and Eagles play for a playoff spot.
Welcome to Week 16. It’s a week that should have a ton of games with playoff implications. Unfortunately, it does not have those games — and if it does those games are on Saturday. The biggest matchup is on Sunday afternoon where the Eagles and Cowboys square off to see what team will — most likely — win the NFC East. Fox also gets a win in the early games because they have the Saints-Titans matchup. What game will you get? Glad you asked.
The time and date has been set for the Week 16 battle between the Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers.
The league announced that the Week 16 battle between the Los Angeles Chargers and Oakland Raiders is set for Sunday, Dec. 22 at 1:05 p.m. PT.
The game from Dignity Health Sports Park will be televised on CBS.
The date and time had not been set yet because there was a possibility that the two teams could have been playing a day before on Saturday night on primetime television.
The Chargers will get their opportunity for revenge after losing to the Raiders last Thursday night by the score of 26-24 before finishing the 2019 season against the Kansas City Chiefs.
