Week 16 is upon us, and sadly we will have to wait until Saturday as the Thursday games are finished for the year. <\/p>\nWeek 16 is upon us, and sadly we will have to wait until Saturday as the Thursday games are finished for the year. <\/p>\n
Lets take a look at the playoff standings, impact injuries, and storylines around the league. <\/p>\n
In 2016, when Raiders head coach Jon Gruden<\/strong> was still in the booth, he was asked which quarterback in the upcoming class he would want if he was starting a team, to which he responded Nathan Peterman<\/a> from Pitt. <\/p>\n Peterman was drafted by the Buffalo Bills, and quickly became the butt of a joke online when he proceeded to throw 5 interceptions in a half against the Chargers.<\/p>\n At the beginning of this season Peterman earned the Bills starting QB position, only to throw for 24 yards and 2 interceptions in the first game before being benched for rookie Josh Allen<\/strong>. 5 interceptions later, and Buffalo finally cut ties with the maligned quarterback. After being released, Peterman worked out with the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos, but was unable to find a home.. Peterman latched on with whom else but Jon Gruden\u2019s Raiders this week, thus allowing Gruden\u2019s wish to come full circle.<\/p>\n After what could be a historic collapse, the Panthers are considering shutting down Cam Newton for the remainder of the regular season, as they are essentially out of the playoff picture. The Panthers have now lost 6 straight, and Cam has clearly not been healthy the last few games with an aggravated shoulder injury that was surgically repaired in early 2017. Taylor Heinecke<\/strong> will take over the starting role for the remaining 2 games.<\/p>\n ESPN<\/strong><\/p>\nCam Newton To Miss Rest Of Season<\/h2>\n
