It's the only game that is meaningful regardless of other games that are played earlier in the day. I know that, but given how terrible St. Louis and Seattle are, I figured NBC would find Chicago-Green Bay more enticing. I'm almost positive STL-Seattle tanks in the ratings. Am I mistaken, or did the last game mean nothing for seattle? seems that win or lose, week 17 winner still gets the division. wonder if they rested the regulars. Yeah. Last game meant nothing. And btw, according to Peter King, the NFL chooses who gets flexed in week 17, and has rules about how it is the game most likely to have playoff implications, regardless of teams.
