Hello fellow-NFLers and welcome to the final weekend of regular season action. If your team is still in with a chance of making the playoffs, congratulations! If not, you have my commiserations and I wish you luck in drafting a franchise quarterback in the upcoming draft.

Either way, there are a lot of games to enjoy tonight.

Here’s what we have to look forward to.

Today is apparently the last game for Rex Ryan at the New York Jets and for Jim Harbaugh at the San Francisco 49ers.

How annoying must Harbaugh be to work with for the 49ers to want him out of there despite their team making three NFC championship games in four years?

The Bills have taken an early 7-0 lead against the Patriots, who have already secured home-field advantage for the playoffs.

Desean Jackson just snagged an RG3 pass and took it 69 yards for a touchdown to put Washington 7-3 up against the Cowboys.

The Eagles have slid from 9-3 to 9-6 in the last three weeks but they might turn things around today. Mark Sanchez has just thrown this bullet to Jordan Matthews.

Can a defensive player win the MVP award in the era of the quarterback?

JJ Watt is making a go of it anyway.

If you had Dez Bryant on your fantasy team this year then you are a very lucky individual. He has just given Dallas the lead in Washington.

DeMarco Murray has had a great year for the Cowboys and with this run he broke a very special record. He surpassed Emmitt Smith’s single-season franchise rushing mark.

This might be the most ridiculous thing in the NFL this year considering the Chiefs have actually had a good season.

Anyone else as surprised as I was when I read this stat?

Here’s a score update as we approach half time in the early games.

This would be the dumbest win in the history of the NFL!

It is looking good for the Baltimore Ravens at the moment.

The Cowboys might be going well at the moment, but that doesn’t mean Tony Romo isn’t still capable of Tony Romo things.

Let’s have an update on the scores as the games come towards the end of the third quarters.

So here is the latest in the playoff race. Remarkably, if the Texans turn things around they will get the last playoff spot.

Who doesn’t love a trick play? Jaguars receiver Cecil Shorts threw his first ever touchdown pass to give his team the lead against the Texans.

Now it is the Ravens who are going to the playoffs. What a crazy last night we’ve had!

Odell Beckham has finished his first season as a pro and it was exceptional. Even taking out his ridiculous one-handed catch, the rookie receiver put up great numbers.

Despite JJ Watt’s superhuman effort today it looks like the Ravens will clinch that last playoff spot.

That’s more like it from the Bucs! Now they can pick Marcus Mariota in the draft.

The Titans have the number 2 pick after another loss today. So it looks like Mariota to the Bucs and Winston to the Jets. And the two play each other in the college football playoffs next weekend too.

That is some fourth quarter by Joe Flacco to send the Ravens to the playoffs.

Here are the final scores from the early games. All but two are finished now.

That is it for tonight’s hangout and that is also it for our regular season coverage. I hope you have enjoyed keeping us company for the last 17 weeks and we hope you have enjoyed us trying to bring you the most interesting moments from the NFL regular season.

But join us next week as the playoffs begin – hopefully your team is involved!
