2019 Week 16 NFL Score Report

One quick note:

• As of last I checked, and will have to check Spotrac to catch up, there is no Week 15 Fine Blotter.  As in:  The NFL announced ZERO fines for last week.  Now, penalties were way down...

Anyway, onto this week:

• Very low-scoring late games and Sunday and Monday nighters brought the average for the week down to 45.56 and the season average to 45.33.
• Home teams were 8-8 for 122-111-1 for the year.
