'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, NFL fans were obsessing… «Who's in? Who's out?» As Week 16 of the 2023 season winds to a close, some playoff races look like they'll be won by a nose.
The Dolphins and Ravens and Lions are in, but for others, the margins look impossibly thin. So enjoy, if you will, this week's overreactions, before you embark on your holiday distractions.

Honestly, this could have gone either way. Had the Bills not come back to beat the Chargers on Saturday night, we probably would have found a way to bury them in this space.
But come back and beat the Chargers they did, and now the Bills are 9-6 and still in the hunt for their fourth straight division title.
