It's coming down to the nitty gritty in the NFL. Playoff berths are there to be had. Cue Jim Mora:

Week 16 started with a special Saturday night edition of Monday Night Football. Thomas DeCoud, Tony Gonzalez and their Atlanta Falcons (13-2) clinched the top seed in the NFC playoffs with a 31-18 win over the Detroit Lions.

On Sunday, the marquee game is the prime time game on NBC. The San Francisco 49ers (10-3-1) travel to Seattle to take on the en fuego Seahawks (9-5) and Beast Mode, Marshawn Lynch. The Niners have clinched a playoff berth, but the NFC West is still up in the air: the Seahawks still have a chance to steal the division from the Niners.

This is your Week 16 open thread. Comment here on all games, especially with reports on Cal football alumni happenings.
