Spread the joy
After you knock off a division rival and put yourself within reach of the division crown with a game to play, how else do you celebrate but the way Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate does after Sunday night's 42-13 win at home over San Francisco ... with a leap into the stands.
Tough crowd!
Not even Santa was welcoming to the 49ers during their Week 16 game in Seattle. The Seahawks won 42-13.
Who needs a mantle?
When you can hang your stockings from your head, as this gentleman in Seattle did in Week 16.
Add two more check marks
By the time Week 16 was over, the Ravens had the win over the Giants and the AFC North crown. If the last one is accomplished, Santa will need to work about six weeks of overtime.
Mixed signals?
The face says Peyton Manning but the hair says Carrot Top (or Ronald McDonald with a dye job). Either way, this fan went home happy after Week 16's 34-12 Broncos win over the Browns.
