Bills Can’t Stop Late Jags Rally; Fall in Jacksonville 18-15

In a game that won’t go down as an ESPN Classic, the Bills were unable to find that big play at the end on defense, eventually allowed a game-winning touchdown, losing to the Jaguars 18-15. The Bills fall to 3-7 on the season, but showed plenty of life in Perry Fewell’s debut as Bills coach. [...]

Late Janikowski FG Boost Raiders Past Bengals 20-17

The Oakland Raiders, by and large, are an unlucky team that happens to be offensively challenged, as well. And as luck would have it, they on Sunday would have to host the Cincinnati Bengals over at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The Bengals’ rushing attack was better than expected and their run defense stopped the Raiders, for [...]

Packers Build a Big Lead; Hang On to Top San Fran 30-24

The Packers Sunday took it to the 49ers, building a big lead at 30-10 early in the fourth quarter, only to have to hang on to beat San Fran 30-24. The win puts Green Bay at 6-4 on the season, but in the win they lost two key players, both on defense. Both possibly gone [...]

Chargers Defense Dominant, Jolt Broncos 32-3

The Denver Broncos seem to be handicapped at the quarterback position – both figuratively and literally – as normal starter Kyle Orton has a bum ankle while reserve Chris Simms is, for a better choice of words, rusty, due to inactivity. As both teams met Sunday afternoon at Invesco Field at Mile High, the Chargers [...]

Colts Remain Perfect, Edge Ravens 17-15

Typically with the Indianapolis Colts, they usually rely on quarterback Peyton Manning to get the job done, which he does with alarming regularity. But as of late, it has been the defense that has saved the day for the Colts, as evidenced by their narrow win over the New England Patriots last Sunday. The Colts [...]

Seattle Can’t Slow Down Favre, Vikings in Seahawks 35-9 Loss

Justin Forsett, welcome back to Earth. After getting 123 yards on the ground against the Cardinals last week, the second-year back out of Cal finished with just nine today in Minnesota as his Seahawks failed to get much of anything going in their 35-9 loss to the Vikings. The Vikings (9-1) held Seattle (3-7) to [...]

Saints a Perfect 10-0 Following 38-7 Win Over Tampa Bay

The New Orleans Saints are 10-0 for the first time in franchise history. Brees and the offense rolled to a 38-7 win against the 1-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the offensive line not allowing any sacks, Brees threw for less than 200 yards; however, he had 3 touchdown passes and 0 interceptions. Robert Meacham finished [...]
