With the Rams' win on #MNF, there are officially ZERO teams with a clinched playoff berth through Week 14 2021 — the first season with 17 games — is only the 3rd season without a clinched berth through Week 14 since the NFL moved to a 16-game season in 1978 (also 1993 and 2014)

First time ever except the other two times.

Is it birth or berth? 

But nice stat and means more meaningful games down the stretch.

Though the latter is grammatically correct, I think when (if) the Lions get back to the postseason I’m going with birth.

But that could be correct because the player that will lead the Lions to the postseason likely hasn't been born yet.

Hey, hey, hey.

I have to inform you that I'm as precise as Mike Tomlin in choosing words.

Big fan of Mike Tomlin continually calling him Ryan “Tandyhill.” #Steelers

This is not funny. I may only have 15-20 years left.
