NFL Week 14 early games open thread

The Detroit Lions got flexed to the late slate of games this week, so we all have our early afternoons to do whatever we’d like.

If you’re a football junkie, it just means you get to watch football before the Lions instead of after the Lions. And if that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place. This is our open thread for discussion while the early games take place. Maybe you’re watching Bears vs. Texans hoping for yet another Bears loss for playoff purposes. Or the same with Bucs vs. Vikings.

Or maybe you want to talk about your fantasy team in the playoffs. No one will like you for it, but I get the compulsion to tell people about your struggle that no one else cares about.

Anyways, here’s the early slate of games:

Texans at Bears
Cowboys at Bengals
Chiefs at Dolphins
Cardinals at Giants
Vikings at Buccaneers
Broncos at Panthers
Titans at Jaguars
