The End of the 2017 Regular Season

The season has ended for 20 teams. There are now 12 left to play one more game. Four more will get eliminated next weekend.

For some players, it will be the last game of their career. Some coaches will have trouble finding work next year in the NFL. They might need to go to the college level. Some might never make it back to the big show.

Players will be forced to retire because of injuries. There are young players in college eager to take their spot.

Very few leave the game on their own terms.
