Four more weeks to the season. As the NFL enters Week 14, no division leader has more than a two-game lead. In the NFC West, it's a tie for first. It's going to come down to the very end.
Recent history says there is reason for hope.
Three teams this week can qualify for the postseason, with one, the Minnesota Vikings, winning its division. A simple win gives the Vikings a playoff spot. The Raiders can earn their first playoff berth since 1993 with a win at Pittsburgh and losses or ties by Buffalo and Indianapolis. And to get 10 wins before December is something I am very proud of for my players. The Eagles can clinch their first playoff spot since 1996 with a win over Tennessee, a Washington loss and either a Tampa Bay loss, or losses by both St. Louis and New Orleans.
