NFL Notebook, Week 16: Award predictions, Odell Beckham Jr. and more
By Zach Cohen
Week 16 Gift Exchange
Who was feeling the most generous in Week 16? See who gave the best “gifts” of the weekend!
Dolphins give the Bengals the first pick
There was still an outside shot that Miami secured the first pick, regardless if Cincinnati pulled off a miraculous comeback in Miami. If you’re a Dolphins fan, sorry, Miami is on track for the fourth or fifth pick with a possibility of dropping to the ninth slot. If you’re a Bengals fan, a Joe Burrow jersey should help them forget the season!
Seahawks give 49ers a chance for home-field advantage
Is it just me, or did Russell Wilson look more like Ryan Finley? Okay, he wasn’t that drastic. Either way, Wilson wasn’t dropping dimes like he normally does. Instead, a costly loss to Arizona at home could send Seattle to the wild card and not the first seed. At least the Seahawks get a consolation prize in Marshawn Lynch…
Odell Beckham Jr. gives Freddie Kitchens the business
There are three inevitable things in this world: Life, death, and Odell Beckham Jr.’s complaints (and over-played holiday commercials, for what it’s worth). I get that things aren’t going well in Cleveland for the 117th time this decade, but Beckham should’ve learned by now that nothing good happens by throwing a tantrum.
Cowboys give Jason Garrett the finger
Your coach is sitting atop a blazing seat, and that’s the performance you give? Coal would have been a better present. I wonder if Jerry Jones gives Garrett the “gift” of job flexibility.
