NFL Week 17: Early Games Open Thread

Here are the early game matchups for Week 17:

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons

Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts

New York Jets at Miami Dolphins

Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings - This is one of those that carries no implications.

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers

Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans
