Philip Rivers (Denver Post file)
THREE UP
1. Chargers: Incredible rally from a 21-0 deficit to beat the 49ers and put themselves in position to capture the AFC’s No. 6 playoff seed.
2. Ravens: In must-win game at Houston, Joe Flacco went 21-of-50 for 195 yards and three picks. For the Ravens to make the playoffs, they need to beat the Browns and have the Chiefs beat the Chargers.
3. Falcons: Matt Ryan (30-of-40, 322 yards) came through big time at New Orleans. They could bring a 7-9 record into a home playoff game.
THREE DOWN
1. Eagles: Allowed 89 points in 0-3 skid — 27 at Washington last week — and blew a playoff berth.
2. Buccaneers: Allowing just 20.3 points per game in last nine games, yet are only 1-8 in that stretch. Must go offense with No. 1 or No. 2 draft pick.
3. Cardinals: Talk about dropping. Arizona went from No. 1 to No. 6 seed in NFC playoffs with a loss to Seattle.
