One of the most impactful last 3 weeks in NFL history
Over the last 25+ years, as the NFL season winds down there are normally just a few teams left fighting for scraps to squeeze into the last few Wild Card slots.

This year as each week brings a new "best team in the NFL", we have a hell of a lot of impactful games over the next 3 weeks to close out the season. Gonna be a unique finish for almost all spots.

Has parity finally hit the NFL or is this just an anomaly?

Anomaly. We’d be running away with it if it weren’t for KT…

I don't see anything different than the last 3 decades of salary cap era football. Having an extra playoff team just allows 2 more mediocre as crap teams to back that ass up Herm style into the playoffs

The addition of the 7th seed has kept a number of teams relevant for sure. The Saturday games are really cool as well. The only thing I don't like is the Chiefs playing at noon on Christmas. That's just odd scheduling.

I think there’s better parity at the top in that there doesn’t seem to be a dominant team (unless SF shakes off their playoff yips).

But most of the parity is unfortunately that really really bad teams are for some reason in playoff contention. Leaguewide there are too many teams who are awful to the point of being unwatchable.

There may not be a dominant team but I’d be shocked if the SB winner wasn’t one of KC, Baltimore, SF, Dallas or Philly. Is that more or less than at this point most years? I don’t know. But your point about mediocrity is 100% spot on. This is the worst year, in regards to quality of games, I can ever recall.

I've said for a long time the NFL is the Bud Light of leagues, watered down for mass consumption.

I don't even know what to call it this year... it's been relegated to hard seltzer.

Well, at least be glad it's not the NBA, where over half the teams make the playoffs.

The NFC is a dumpster fire. Pretty much every playoff team after Detroit, San Fran, Dallas and Philly could have losing records including the NFC South champ.

Yeah, the 7 seeds have been bad enough, and this year the NFC could technically get a couple .500 or under teams into the playoffs.

It's good for the Chiefs this year though.

I absolutely love having playoff games at Arrowhead, especially the AFC Championship game 5 years in a row. But, if it doesn't happen, so be it. If I'm being honest, I have often wondered (and, in a small way, want to see) how Mahomes would do on the road in the playoffs.

It’s been a weird year. I feel like defenses are up so offenses are down. But the nfl also has a huge problem with injuries. And bad QBs look really really bad against great defenses.

Normally pro leagues take this and introduce offense friendly rules in the offseason. Wonder if that’ll be the case here. I agree that more teams in contention is good for $ even if it’s uglier to watch. I also feel like Vegas must be making bank on this too because ugly football is harder to predict.

I'd narrow it further. I don't see the winner not coming from SF, Philly or KC
