Plenty of teams were hamstrung in Week 16 while missing key players at key positions.
The Lions, Giants and Ravens also lost with backup quarterbacks Sunday, and on Monday night, the Dolphins became the first NFL team to win seven straight after losing seven in a row with a 20-3 win over the Saints, who started rookie QB Ian Book because of a COVID-19 outbreak that took out 16 players, including starting QB Taysom Hill and veteran backup Trevor Siemian.
“We control our destiny,” Burrow said. “Win these next two games, and we’ve got the division locked.” Although Johnson became the first player since 2016 to throw a touchdown pass for multiple teams in the same season — he had three TD tosses for the Jets earlier this year — the Ravens found themselves on the AFC playoff bubble hoping to get key players back from injuries and the COVID-19 list for their final two games, against the Rams and Steelers.
The Chargers had more than a dozen players sidelined due to COVID-19, including pass rusher Joey Bosa, running back Austin Ekeler and receiver Mike Williams.
