Rent-A-Defense: Week 17

Week 16 Results

Green Bay (vs New Orleans) - 3 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 1 INT, 0 pts allowed

Hopefully your league has a big bonus for the NFL's first shutout this season.

A Look Ahead: @MIN - Sam Darnold is a little tougher to defend than Spencer Rattler.

Cincinnati (vs Cleveland) - 5 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 2 INT, 6 pts allowed

Vonn Bell's forced fumble and recovery on a D'Onta Foreman goal-line carry to end the first drive of the game set the tone, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson was as ineffective as expected.

A Look Ahead: DEN - We release the Bengals D/ST back into the jungle.

Buffalo (vs New England) - 2 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 INT, 1 DEF TD

A Drake Maye/Rhamondre Stevenson miscue in the end zone ended up in Taron Johnson's hands for a touchdown to make this Week 16 play.

A Look Ahead: NYJ - Aaron Rodgers has been safe with the ball, and the game may be meaningless for the Bills, so not a preferred option, even if Tyrod Taylor starts for a banged-up Rodgers.

Atlanta (vs NY Giants) - 3 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 2 INT, 2 DEF TD

Drew Lock left all kinds of Christmas presents under the tree for anyone who chose the Falcons D/ST in Week 16.

A Look Ahead: @WAS - Washington turned the ball over five times in Week 16, but don't hold your breath waiting for a repeat performance in Week 17.

Arizona (at Carolina) - 3 sacks

Bryce Young found his game after a rough Week 15 and eliminated the Cardinals from the playoff race with an overtime win.

A Look Ahead: @LAR - The Cardinals D/ST fly south for the winter now

Houston (at Kansas City) - 1 sack

Does Patrick Mahomes II have access to alien healing technology, or does he exaggerate his injuries? Inquiring minds want to know.

A Look Ahead: BAL - We send the Texans D/ST to their home on the range.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

Baltimore (vs Pittsburgh) - 3 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 1 INT, 1 DEF TD

A Marlon Humphrey pick-six basically iced this game and possibly decided a few fantasy playoff matchups.

Philadelphia (at Washington) - 1 sack, 3 fumble recoveries, 2 INT

And Washington somehow won this game.
