Seattle Seahawks – Richard Sherman Keeps Proving He’s the Best Cornerback in the NFL
Richard Sherman added two more interceptions to his impressive tally this season, now leading the NFL with 8. One of the more astonishing thing about his numbers happens to do with the very low amount of times quarterbacks actually try and get the ball to the receiver he’s covering.

San Francisco 49ers – Not Sure if Relieved or Worried
On one hand, the San Francisco 49ers clinched a playoff spot and still have a chance to win the division and even get a number one seed in the NFC if things go their way in the final week. But there’s also the negative side to their win over the Atlanta Falcons, as they barely made it through against a much weaker team until the final minute of the game.

Dallas Cowboys – Tony Romo Gets Injured at the Worst Possible Time
The Dallas Cowboys can’t seem to catch a break. Hours after their dramatic win over the Washington Redskins and a week before their season defining game against the Philadelphia Eagles it seems like they’ll have to go on for the rest of this season, whether it’s only one more or game or slightly more, without Tony Romo, suffering from a herniated disk.

Arizona Cardinals – Making the Season Last One Week Longer
One of the biggest surprises in week 16 of the 2013 NFL Season was the Seattle Seahawks losing at home for the first time in two years.

Patriots Humiliate Ravens – Tom Brady Always Finds a Way
The rivalry between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots isn’t about blowouts. It’s about close, mean, venom-filled games. Tom Brady marching the visiting Pats to a 41-7 in M&T Bank Stadium wasn’t something anyone had in mind, except for Bill Belichick.

Denver Broncos – Peyton Manning Sets Records That Might be Meaningless
The Denver Broncos need to be worried about their defense a lot more than they should be celebrating Peyton Manning setting yet another NFL record, this time for most touchdown passes in a single season. So he has one more thing to show that he’s a better individual than Tom Brady. Winning playoff games, fair or not, is how quarterbacks are measured.

Philadelphia Eagles – Ruin it for the Chicago Bears More Than Anything Else
As things turned out, the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t have to put on a show against the Chicago Bears, because they still need to win on the last week of the season. However, sacking Jay Cutler more than anyone has this season while keeping things interesting in the NFC North for one week longer did work out quite well for the rest of the league.

Dallas Cowboys – Tony Romo Couldn’t Afford Another Failure
The Dallas Cowboys find themselves in a familiar situation – a game against an NFC East rival on the final week of the season for the right to play in the playoffs. A drastic change from last week, this time Tony Romo came up with the right play to keep the season alive, saving his team from the brink of elimination, probably saving the job of some people, especially his head coach Jason Garrett.

Colorado State Rams – Sending Their Regards to Mike Leach
There are two versions of blame in the New Mexico Bowl, won by Colorado State. One version suggests Mike Leach simply took the wrong decisions and messed up when it came to clock management. The other ignores anything that happens off the field, and puts the blame on the Washington State players who fumbled the ball.

USC Beats Fresno State – Cody Kessler Was the Right Choice
Who would have thought that the 2013 season would end with smiles for USC and even winning 10 games? Cody Kessler put on quite a performance, mostly by targeting Marqise Lee, as the Trojans easily beat Fresno State to win the Las Vegas Bowl 45-20.
