NFL: Biggest Sunday Takeaways for Every NFC Team in Week 16

In a wacky Week 16, we have entered into the holiday season where we get games almost all weekend now, with games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We saw a total of 13 quarterbacks who played significant snaps for teams that did not have them as the primary starter at the beginning of the season. We saw a converted two-point play that popped off someone’s head, a player throwing a punch at a fan, and an awesome would-be a game-winning touchdown called back by a penalty. Here is your Week 16 NFC wrap-up!

Seattle Seahawks – The wildest game of the week happened on Thursday night as the Seahawks pulled out a victory from the depths of hell. Seattle converted a two-point conversion in overtime to steal a win and lay claim to the top spot in the NFC West.

Los Angeles Rams – With no Davante Adams, Puka Nacua went off with 225 receiving yards and two touchdowns, but it was not enough after blowing a 23-14 lead in the fourth quarter to lose in overtime.

Arizona Cardinals – The Cardinals had an opportunity to tie the Falcons late, but were unable to convert as they lost 26-19.
