NFL Week 16 open thread

Steve Williams and his San Diego Chargers rallied from a huge halftime deficit to beat the San Francisco 49ers and help their playoff chances. Who else will help their playoff cause as Week 16 continues?

It is Week 16 Sunday of the NFL season and there has already been a lot of hot Week 16 action.  There were a couple of good games on Saturday, with the Washington Redskins upsetting the Philadelphia Eagles (a result that clinched a playoff spot for the Detroit Lions) and the San Diego Chargers rallying from 28-7 down to defeat the lame duck San Francisco 49ers 38-35 in overtime.  The Chargers helped their playoff chances with the win.
