Part of the advancement of the NFL schedule is the conclusion of the 17-game slate, and the league will find unique means to make it so.
Three games on the same day of the week — the first day of bowl season no less? Absolutely. Why not? And may all three games have playoff implications to boot so as to make things dramatic, too.
Here are some of the best tweets to emerge from the Detroit Lions’ 42-17 thrashing of the Denver Broncos on Saturday night.

Ive never seen a QB collapse like Goff has the past few weeks. Players are getting open and Jared Goff just isn't seeing them

Dan Campbell and Sean Payton have a close bond built in football. Tonight, they lead their teams in a primetime matchup.

#BroncosCountry w/a badly needed score…per Kevin Harlan, first opening drive points of the 2nd half all season!!

The refs upholding that TD call in the #Lions game is atrocious. With all the gambling going on, to not overturn that (when the broncos even pulled their kicking unit off) is a terrible look @NFL . Why does this head ref in particular have a history of bad calls against them?

Outside of a few misses, Goff has been dealing this game. Much needed bounce back for him.

Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery are making Lions history.
This is the first time the team has EVER had two players with 750+ rushing yards in the same season. Heck of a stat from @LionsPR pic.twitter.com/kz70weSxD3

Dan Campbell keeps saying…"if we run the ball and don't turn it over we're as good as anyone." Well. Here we are. 35-10. #onepride
