The NFL season is like a long train ride. Every year, the train starts its engines in week one with 32 teams on board—all with the hope that they won’t get dropped off into the abyss of elimination before January. Unfortunately, the train runs a tight ship. This season, nine teams were dumped off before week 15 which is a preposterously high number. In the next two weeks, the Saints, 49ers, Cowboys, and Cardinals were all dropped off at Elimination Station. In week seventeen, they were joined by the Colts and Seahawks, and although everyone wanted to see Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase in the playoffs, there wasn’t enough room on board. The Dolphins, Bengals, and Falcons were all thrown off the train, leaving 14 teams to rumble down the tracks.
