NFL Sunday comes to a conclusion with the Saints beating the Steelers at home after last week's embarassing 20 point loss to the Browns. They looked like a new team out there. They did take a while to get things rolling, but once they did, they scored two TD's from it. Both defenses were stellar all game long, what an amazing catch by Lance Moore towards the end there to finish Pit off. This was a very entertaining and hard fought game.
I'd have to say the Jets getting shut out like that at home was quite a surprise, to say the least. I don't know if that was the Green Bay defense or just the Jets dropping a bunch of catchable balls thrown their way. Regardless, very impressive win by the Packers.
The Chargers beat the Titans at home, Vince Young got hurt once again. Chris Johnson dropped a crucial 4th & 2 possesion to put the Titans away for good. Titans are really going to be dangerous in the playoffs, assuming they make it, which you think they would.
The Patriots win yet once again. Now sitting pretty at 6-1. Not too bad for a young team, atleast on defense. Minnesota is pretty much done themselves, just like the Cowboys. What a shame, both teams have amazing talent on both sides of the ball and they play like this, the beauty of the NFL.
What an intense OT game between the Chiefs/Bills. Who woulda thunk it? Chiefs win it with 5 seconds remaining with a FG. Bills play hard, they will eventually win a couple of games, they aren't as bad as their record indicates. The Chiefs look pretty good, efficient run team and play solid defense.
The Raiders come back and put up another offensive display against the Seahawks this time. Something has been working for them these last two weeks, I don't know whether it's who their facing or what, but it's something different from Oakland, atleast in these last two weeks.
The Dolphins go to 4-0 on the road, while being 0-3 at home. I'm sure they will put it together, they have a nice team, whether they make the playoffs will be the question.
Tampa Bay goes to 5-2 with another road win against Arizona. The Cards gave em all they could handle, but Tampa kept their composure and finished the game. I still don't think their a playoff team, but kudos to them playing hard every week and making drastic improvement on both sides of the football.
The 49ers win their second game in a row against the Broncos in London. I don't know what team is worse.
The Lions Matthew Stafford returned against the Skins and he threw for 4 TD's, 3 of which went to Calvin Johnson. Lions can sure put up points, if they get their defense going just a tad and get a decent running game they can be a team next year or two to look out for. Their fun to watch, that's for sure. The Skins on the other hand, are WAY too up & down. You don't know what your going to get out of them week in and week out. I don't like Shanahan benching McNabb, even if he is going to start him next week anyways. That's just not the way to go, McNabb is your QB and you traded for him, live and die with his results.
One game remaining, the Texans vs the Colts on Monday Night Football. Should be an interesting game between two division teams, no Dallas Clark for Indy as well as Tony Gonzalez. Peyton is going to be short on weapons, can Houston run the ball like they did in their first meeting back in Week 1? Stay tuned!
