Welcome to a rare Saturday edition of the Week 15 grades. The NFL was kind enough to give us some Saturday football in the form of a tripleheader consisting of Vikings-Bengals, Steelers-Colts and Broncos-Lions. 

Each one of these carries a significant impact on the playoff picture, especially in the AFC as the wild card race is as tight as it’s been in recent memory. The Bengals were able to keep their hopes of making it into the postseason alive in dramatic fashion, rallying to defeat the Vikings in overtime. That comeback effort required a 21-point fourth quarter and one of the best touchdowns of the season from wideout Tee Higgins. 

We’ll cover that game and the rest of the slate with our grades for all three contests below.
