Many were keeping an eye on the Week 8 NFL scoreboard with the playoff picture in mind even though the halfway point of the 2017 NFL season had not yet arrived. Division races were tight entering Week 8, with only the Eagles having more than a one-game lead in their division.
Philadelphia had already defeated San Francisco by the time the teams chasing the Eagles in the NFC East, the Cowboys and Redskins, kicked off in Washington. Speaking of division races, the Panthers beat the Buccaneers on Sunday in what felt like must-win situations for both teams in the NFC South.
Many eyes Sunday also were on Seattle, where the Texans engaged in protest before their game against the Seahawks in the wake of team owner Bob McNair's controversial comments, which were revealed Friday by ESPN.
