NFL Week 18 Recap: What a Finish!
I do love the final week of the NFL season, especially in this 18-week format. Week 18 kicks off with a pair of games on Saturday, with the remaining 14 games taking place on Sunday. The reason for this is because that Week 18 used to be Wild Card Weekend, which had two Saturday games (one in the late afternoon and the other on primetime). With the permanent addition of the 18th week in 2021, the final week inherited the Saturday spots from what used to be Wild Card Weekend.

On Tuesday December 12, John Jay hosted Scarsdale, and first to take the mat for the Wolves was Emerson Flamm. He faced Luke Iasiello, and the Scarlett Knight muscled his way to a 10-1 lead. Then suddenly Flamm scored a reversal and two near falls to pull within one, and the subdued crowd switched gears. Iasiello did recover to a 17-12 victory, and the rosters playing out, there wasn’t nearly as much drama the rest of the way.

NFL Power Rankings Week 17
10. (9-7) Jaguars The Jaguars return to the top ten despite losing Trevor Lawrence. CJ Beathard hasn't done anything crazy, but he has got the job done. The Jaguars dominated the Panthers, and say what you want about the Panthers, but they have never been shut out...until the Jaguars came to town. Doug Pederson has a stingy defense and backup going into the playoffs. Where have we heard that before?
