Chargers Clinch AFC West With Last Second 27-24 Win Over Bengals
In early October the San Diego Chargers were left for dead. They had just lost a Monday night home game against the Denver Broncos and were 2-3 while Denver at the time was 5-0. What a difference two months make. Nine weeks later the Chargers are once again AFC West champs after a tough 27-24 [...]
Steelers Losing Streak Ends on Wild Last Play in 37-36 Victory Over Packers
So many times this season the Steelers defense has cost them in the fourth quarter. Sunday at home in maybe the wildest game in Heinz Field history, Ben Roethlsiberger and the offense bailed them out.

Big Games By Schaub, Johnson Nearly Wasted; Texans Edge Rams 16-13

First the expected – the Texans outgained the Rams 419-237, had more first downs (22-15) and a minute and twenty seconds more of ball possession time. One would think “easy victory”, right? Not so fast. The Texans [...]
Questionable Calls Lead Dolphins to 27-24 OT Loss to Titans
This one was a heartbreaker. The Dolphins came back from an 18 point deficit, and pushed the Tennessee Titans into overtime, before losing in the end. With the loss, the Dolphins playoff hopes are now on “life support” as some Dolphins reporters described it today after the game. These are the types of games that [...]
Late Ryan TD Pass Helps Falcons Edge Jets 10-7
“Wisdom comes alone through suffering.” – Aeschylus For New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, this can be considered a season of learning and growing pains. They (the team) indeed had some high points and some low points, as part of the learning process. The Jets perhaps learned a football lesson in their game on [...]
