Posted in The Indianapolis Colts have gone from winning games with relative ease to escaping by the skin of their teeth, so to speak. As luck would have it, Indianapolis’ opponent Sunday was the New England Patriots, led by Tom Brady. But an interesting thing happened at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Patriots would seal their fate not [...]

Heads Up Play by Jones-Drew Leads to Jaguars 24-22 Win Over Jets
Sometimes smart plays work, sometimes they don’t. For the Jaguars on Sunday in New Jersey vs the Jets, Maurice Jones-Drew made maybe the smartest play of the season, setting up a chip shot field goal for Josh Scobee as the Jags beat the Jets 24-22. Jones-Drew deliberately fell down so the Jaguars could run time [...]
L.T.’s Two TD’s Leads San Diego to a Big 31-23 Win Over Philadelphia
By the time the Chargers took the field on Sunday they knew that if they were to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, they would be tied for 1st place in the AFC West thanks to the Redskins pulling off the upset and beating the Denver Broncos 27-17. LaDainian Tomlinson looked like his old self today as [...]
Favre and Rice Overwhelm Lions in 27-10 Win in Minnesota
They couldn’t cover Sidney Rice, and they couldn’t stop Brett Favre. Combine that with an offense that dropped passes and a big fumble to start the second half, and it all come out as another Lions loss, this time to the Vikings 27-10 in Minnesota. “You see the progress and see that we’re improving,” linebacker [...]
Seahawks Fall in the Desert to the Cardinals 31-20
Seattle, once again, ran into a sleeping giant. After a lackluster performance for all but the final minute and nine seconds of the first half, Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner woke up and flung for 81 yards on a drive capped off by a 27-yard Neil Rackers field goal to get the Cardinals (6-3) within a [...]
Raiders Drop 3rd Straight, Chiefs Prevail 16-10
The Kansas City Chiefs have a couple things going for them, despite their abysmal win-loss record: Jamaal Charles and an affinity for playing at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. In reference to Charles, he is quickly making Chiefs fans think, “Larry WHO?” Meanwhile, the Chiefs have had their fair share of success at the Coliseum as they [...]
Delhomme Turnover-Free, Panthers Claws Falcons 28-19
As has been Jake Delhomme’s tendency this season, he has been prone to turning the ball over. During Sunday’s game between the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers, the embattled quarterback, for at least one week, seemed to have things under control as he utuilized the no-huddle offense to great effect as Carolina defeated Atlanta 28-19 [...]
Dolphins Nip Buccaneers 25-23, Lose Brown
Sunday found a Florida matchup, courtesy of a quirk of sorts in the NFL scheduling, between the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At first glance, you might think that there wouldn’t be very much scoring; if you subscribed to that line of thinking, then surprisingly, you’d be wrong. Actually there were the obligatory lead [...]
