The five things you should know about the Week 15 of the NFL
THE TRIBE IS COMMITTED TO THE LORD
The Chiefs remain the team to beat in the NFL, with the possible return of Drew Brees and a solid defense could be a taste of what we see in Super Bowl LV.
The reality is that there is still a long way to go, but can you imagine a Super Bowl where the ratings of both quarterbacks add up to 208.7 in their careers? We have never had a match with such a sum in 70 years.
Brees will return hungry, he has won both games after missing more than one game due to injury, but Kansas City’s task is focused on Mahomes who has the Chiefs with a differential of 122 points, they could become the third team as champion reigning to finish with the best record of the season and leaders in that differential.
Mahomes has made Travis Kelce the NFL’s leading receiver, yes. At a tight end, while Tyreek Hill leads the league in touchdown receptions, sometime when I was born it was the case with the legendary Steve Largent leading in yards and Daryl Turner had the most TDs through the air with the Seahawks.
The two best records in each conference face each other, it will be the ninth time since the merger that takes place in the last three weeks and all the National team won, 9 of those 16 rivals reached the Super Bowl, twice they were the prelude to the big game, could this be the 55th edition?
TIME TO OVERCOME THE MASTER
Criticism was heated last year at the disaster of Brian Flores at the helm of the Dolphins, but true to what his teacher learned, it is part of the process and now he has a chance to beat him in the division record.
Beyond the possible win for the Dolphins, the formula of an intense defense and a reliable quarterback seems to have moved to Florida, today the Patriots cannot say that despite the optimism when in opening week the Pass beat Miami.

Cam Newton may score his 70 rushing touchdown and join Earl Campbell as the only drafted in the first overall pick to reach that number, but personal records matter little if the team doesn’t walk.
LOSERS WITH TICKET AT PLAYOFFS
The criticism that we have seen, read and heard about the East teams of the National has no elements to shake them off, even though Washington still has a chance to avoid the losing record if it wins two of the remaining three games.
Curiously, they face a very complicated duel when they host the Seahawks and face the only coaches who “won” their division with a losing record, Ron Rivera’s Panthers did it in 2014 with 7-8-1 and beat the Cardinals in the round. of wildcards.
Pete Carroll managed to put Seattle in 2010 with a worse record, 7-9 and they also won the first playoff game when Marshawn Lynch rocked the city by defeating the Saints.
Apparently it is not so bad to arrive with those records in the NFL, today it will be clear that they do not aspire to a winning record.
THEY LOST THE REFLECTORS
Cowboys and 49ers aspired to have all the attention tonight, one of the stellar games of the entire season, ended up being a game of the heap and irrelevant.
Both teams play to maintain their illusion with a playoff berth, although reality points to next season due to injuries that shattered their dreams giving away balls during the season as if it were Christmas itself.
Incidentally, the aspirations of Dallas that were deposited in Ezekiel Elliott were disappointing, now that they face a Top 10 running defense, I’m not sure he can show off, although it is the least he should do to give his fans a good night, to despite the fact that the game is no longer played under the lights.

TO RECOVER THE STEP
The Giants had a surprise four-win streak that put the postseason on their minds, having swept Washington they have a clear shot at taking the division, but last week’s loss reminded them of what they are.
The Browns also had a four-game winning streak that gave them their first winning season in more than a decade, but a loss last week reminded them that they are not the team the AFC North needs after the loss to Ravens.
Cleveland is the favorite, but his visit to New York does not guarantee that one of the worst offenses in the League can seek a rematch after Jason Garrett’s departure from COVID, the offense falls to former Browns coach Freddie Kitchens.
The strength of both teams will always be on the field with the Cleveland offense and the New York defense, in turn the Achilles heel will also be on the other side with the Giants attack and the Browns defense, so on Nor which one to go, at least the Browns are aiming for double-digit wins.
