Gotham's Writing Workshop week 17

" So what. It doesn't matter. So what if he is kissing Miss MacKenzie. He has a right to kiss whoever he wants. And I am married for goodness sakes."

She goes out to the balcony seeking fresh air and a distance between herself and the happy couple. She wasn't jealous. Not at all. She just misses her husband that is all.

" Sassanech," she jerks at the sound of his voice.

" Mr. MacTavish."

" I ken ye saw..I am sorry."

" For what? You have a right to kiss whoever you want."

" Weel I am sorry because I was using her to get over someone."

" Oh well then you should be apologizing to her."

" Aye, and I shall but first I must to ye."

" Why," she turns to face him.

" Because weel Sassanech tis ye I was trying to get over."

" Me?" she squeaks out.

" Aye, tis ye I wanted to be kissing."

" I...ah."

" Claire, I would verra much like to kiss ye. Can I?"

" Yes." she whispers. Because she had been fooling herself. She did care who he was kissing. It did matter. And it wasn't just missing Frank.

A defensive battle in the rain ends with a gutsy call and a heartbreak finish in Buffalo.

Hey everyone! Did you manage to catch that absolute nail-biter of a game yesterday? If you were tuned in to 빠른티비 스포츠중계, you probably lost your voice screaming at the screen during those final seconds just like I did. We went into this matchup expecting fireworks from two of the league’s most dynamic quarterbacks, but instead, we got a gritty, rain-soaked defensive chess match that came down to a single, breath-holding moment. It wasn't the high-flying shootout the stats might have predicted, but the drama? Oh, the drama was completely off the charts.

Let’s set the scene a bit. It was a wet and dreary day at Highmark Stadium, the kind of weather that makes every throw slippery and every tackle feel twice as hard. You could feel the tension right from kickoff. The Philadelphia Eagles came into this game looking to prove they could handle a hostile environment, and wow, did their defense show up. For the first three quarters, they essentially put a lid on the Buffalo offense.

We have to talk about the Eagles' defensive front. They were absolute monsters out there. Rookie Jalyx Hunt had himself a day, racking up sacks and making Josh Allen uncomfortable every time he dropped back. And then there was Jaelan Phillips with that massive strip-sack early on that really swung the momentum. It felt like every time the Bills tried to get something going, a white jersey was there to shut it down.

On the offensive side, Philly did just enough to build a lead. Jalen Hurts wasn’t putting up video game numbers, but he was efficient when it mattered. He connected with Dallas Goedert for a short touchdown that was actually historic—it broke the Eagles' franchise record for receiving touchdowns by a tight end in a single season. Add in a couple of clutch field goals from Jake Elliott, who was booting the ball perfectly through the raindrops, and suddenly the Eagles were sitting on a 13-0 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

But if you follow the NFL, you know one rule: never count out Josh Allen, especially at home.

The fourth quarter was when things went from "defensive struggle" to "pure chaos." The Bills finally started to find some rhythm. The crowd woke up, sensing that a comeback was brewing. It wasn't pretty, and they had to fight for every yard, but they started chipping away.

Then came the final drive. With the clock ticking down and the pressure mounting, Allen marched the Bills down the field. It was one of those drives where you just know something crazy is about to happen. They got all the way to the goal line, and with just five seconds left—literally five seconds—Allen powered his way into the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown.

Pandemonium. The score was 13-12.

Now, here is where the game went from great to legendary. The Bills had a choice. Kick the extra point, tie the game at 13-13, and likely head into overtime. It’s the safe play. It’s the sensible play. But head coach Sean McDermott decided to roll the dice. He held up two fingers. They were going for the win, right then and there. No overtime. No coin toss luck. Just one play to decide it all.

The stadium held its breath. The ball was snapped. Allen dropped back, looked left, and saw Khalil Shakir in the back of the end zone. He let it fly... and it sailed just a bit too high and wide. Incomplete.

The air just rushed out of the building (unless you were an Eagles fan, in which case you probably fainted from relief). It was a heartbreaking way for the Bills to lose, especially after fighting so hard to get back into it. But you have to respect the guts to go for the win, right? It’s the kind of call we’ll be debating all week.

So, what does this mean for the standings? It’s huge. The Eagles improve to 11-5 and have locked up at least the No. 3 seed in the NFC, thanks to some help from the 49ers elsewhere. They are looking dangerous heading into the postseason. On the flip side, the Bills drop to 11-5 and slide down to the No. 7 seed in the AFC. It makes their road to the Super Bowl a lot tougher, likely meaning no home games unless things get wild in the bracket.

Looking ahead, the Eagles will wrap up the regular season hosting the Commanders next week. It might be a chance for them to rest some starters, or maybe keep the momentum rolling. The Bills have a date with the Jets, and they will definitely want to bounce back and get some good vibes going before the playoffs start.

It’s crazy how an entire 60-minute battle can hinge on one split-second decision and one slightly off-target throw. That’s why we love this game, isn't it? It’s unpredictable, emotional, and sometimes just plain heartbreaking.

The Cincinnati Bengals definitely didn't let the late-season chill at Paycor Stadium cool down their offense this week. If you were tuning in via 빠른티비 스포츠중계, you saw exactly what I'm talking about—a complete, well-rounded performance that felt like the Bengals of old. It wasn't just a win; it was a statement that when Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase are in sync, this team is pure electric entertainment. From big-man catches to record-breaking tight end play, this game had a little bit of everything for the football soul.

One of the biggest storylines coming into this Week 17 matchup was how the Bengals would handle an Arizona team that, despite their struggles, has some serious young talent. Well, Cincinnati answered that question immediately. They looked comfortable, confident, and honestly, like they were having fun out there. Joe Burrow was dealing like a point guard, spreading the ball around to nine different receivers and finishing with 305 passing yards. It’s that calm, cool demeanor we love to see from number 9. He simply picked apart the defense, finding the open man and making it look effortless.

And can we talk about Ja'Marr Chase for a second? The connection between him and Burrow is telepathic at this point. Chase found the end zone twice, racking up 60 yards on seven catches. He made history again, becoming the first player ever to record at least 80 catches, 1,000 yards, and seven touchdowns in each of his first five seasons. Watching him play is a reminder of how special he is—he just glides past defenders. It’s not just speed; it’s the route running, the hands, the whole package.

But the offense wasn't just the Joe and Ja'Marr show. Chase Brown is really carving out a name for himself. He was an absolute workhorse, rushing for 101 yards and punching in two touchdowns on the ground. When you add his receiving yards, he totaled 141 yards from scrimmage. He brings this burst of energy out of the backfield that perfectly complements the passing game. It feels like every time he touches the ball, something exciting might happen. Seeing him power through for those scores in the second half really put the game out of reach and broke the Cardinals' spirit.

The most viral moment of the game, though, had to be the big man catch. You don’t see offensive linemen lining up wide very often, but there was Cody Ford, all 345 pounds of him, catching a pass and rumbling for 21 yards. The stadium absolutely erupted. It’s plays like that—creative, unexpected, and just plain fun—that make football so great to watch. Burrow said afterward that it was "sick," and honestly, he’s right. Seeing a lineman secure the ball and fight for extra yards is the kind of energy that rallies a whole sideline.

On the other side of the ball, the Bengals defense deserves a ton of credit. They held the Cardinals to just 233 total yards. Arizona’s offense never really found a rhythm, thanks to constant pressure and tight coverage. Cincinnati’s defense forced multiple three-and-outs, giving the ball right back to Burrow and the offense. They made Arizona quarterback Jacoby Brissett uncomfortable all afternoon, sacking him four times. It was a suffocating performance that showed the defense can still lock it down when they need to.

However, it wasn't all bad news for Arizona fans. Trey McBride is a legitimate star. In a tough loss, he was a shining light, catching 10 passes and breaking the NFL single-season record for receptions by a tight end. He’s been a reliable safety valve all season, and seeing him etch his name in the record books was a cool moment, even if the scoreboard wasn't in his favor. He is definitely a cornerstone piece for them to build around in the future.

This game really felt like a morale booster for Cincinnati. Moving to 6-10 isn't where they wanted to be at the start of the year, but winning back-to-back games and scoring 37 points shows they are fighting to finish strong. It’s about pride and building momentum for next year. The coaching staff has to be pleased with the effort. They didn’t just roll over; they came out executing a game plan that highlighted their best players.

Looking ahead to Week 18, we have the "Battle of Ohio" as the Bengals take on the Cleveland Browns. These division rivalry games are always gritty and intense, regardless of the records. Cleveland is sitting at 4-12, so on paper, the Bengals have the upper hand, especially with the way the offense is humming right now. I expect Burrow and Chase to try and put on one last show for the season. If the defense plays with the same intensity they showed against Arizona, it should be a fun way to wrap up the year.

As we head into the final week of the regular season, it’s a great time to reflect on the highs and lows, but mostly just to enjoy the game. Whether you are rooting for draft picks or just love seeing your team win, games like this remind us why we tune in every Sunday. It’s the unexpected plays, the record-breaking moments, and the sheer athleticism that keep us coming back.

Make sure you don't miss any of the action for the season finale. You can catch all the excitement and cheer for your team on 빠른티비 스포츠중계 next week. It’s going to be a fun finish to the season, and you won't want to miss a single snap of the Battle of Ohio.

Jaguars Claw Their Way Closer to the Crown While Indy's Hopes Fade in a Nail-Biter at Lucas Oil Stadium

If you caught the action on 닌자티비 this past Sunday, you know exactly why we love this game. It wasn't just another divisional matchup; it was a gritty, heart-pounding battle that kept us on the edge of our seats until the final whistle. The Jacksonville Jaguars marched into Indianapolis and walked away with a massive 23-17 victory over the Colts, pushing themselves one step closer to that coveted AFC South title. For the Colts, it was a heartbreaking end to their playoff dreams, but man, did they go down swinging.

Let's talk about the atmosphere at Lucas Oil Stadium. You could feel the tension radiating through the screen. Indianapolis knew their season was on the line, especially with the 44-year-old veteran Philip Rivers stepping in to try and work some of his old magic. And honestly, seeing Rivers back under center brought a wave of nostalgia that hit harder than a linebacker on a blitz. But the story of the day wasn't just about veterans; it was about the young guns taking charge. Trevor Lawrence looked absolutely locked in. He wasn't just relying on his arm this time; he used his legs to make the difference, scrambling for two crucial touchdowns that left the Colts' defense grasping at air.

The game was a defensive chess match for long stretches, the kind of football purists adore. Both sides traded blows, and neither offense could truly run away with it. But it was the fourth quarter where heroes were made. With the score knotted up and the clock ticking down, the pressure was immense. Enter Cam Little. The rookie kicker stepped up with ice in his veins and drilled a 42-yard field goal with just under seven minutes left to break the tie. That kick didn't just give Jacksonville the lead; it sucked the air right out of the building. The Colts tried to mount a comeback, desperate to keep their season alive, but the Jaguars' defense stood tall, forcing the stops they needed to seal the deal.

It is tough to see a team like Indianapolis get eliminated, especially when they fought so hard in front of their home crowd. The loss drops them to 8-8, and with Houston winning their matchup, the door to the postseason slammed shut for Indy. It’s a bitter pill to swallow for Colts fans who have ridden the rollercoaster all season long. On the flip side, Jacksonville is peaking at the exact right moment. Sitting at 12-4, they have won seven straight games. Seven! That is the kind of momentum that makes a team dangerous in January. They are playing with a swagger and confidence that says they believe they can beat anyone, anywhere.

Looking ahead, the regular season finale is shaping up to be a wild ride. The Jaguars are heading home to host the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. With the way Jacksonville is playing, you have to favor them to take care of business and lock up the division. Lawrence is in a groove, and their defense is playing lights out. My prediction? The Jags keep rolling and head into the playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the league. Expect a 27-13 victory for the home team as they tune up for the postseason.

Meanwhile, the Colts have a date with the Houston Texans on the road. It might seem like a meaningless game for Indy on paper, but pride is a powerful motivator. They will want to play spoiler and end their season on a high note against a division rival. However, Houston is tough, and they will be looking to fine-tune their own game before the playoffs. I think this one stays close, but Houston likely edges it out, 24-20, leaving the Colts to head into the offseason with plenty of questions to answer.

It is wild how quickly the season flies by, isn't it? One minute we are debating preseason rosters, and the next we are watching playoff pictures solidify. This Week 17 clash was a perfect reminder of why every snap matters. The drama, the stakes, the individual efforts—it is unscripted entertainment at its finest. Whether you were cheering for the Jags' surge or hoping for a Colts miracle, you can't deny it was a fantastic way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
