If New England’s win over the Jets delayed the ’72 Dolphins’ annual champagne toast, surely a can or two of Blatz can be cracked open to celebrate the contemporary Fins getting off the schneid.

If Baltimore had nothing to play for today, what exactly was Seattle’s excuse? Carolina was a mere mauling of Matt Moore away from having to text message Jeff George (Bubby Brister? Kordell Stewart?
