Jason Campbell is The Best Quarterback They’ve Had in Ages
The season began with Brandon Weeden, went on to Brian Hoyer, then to Jason Campbell, back to Weeden and now Hoyer again. The wins aren’t coming no matter who is the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns since Hoyer’s injury, but the numbers suggest Campbell isn’t only the best quarterback they have right now, but also the best they’ve had in a very long time.

Cowboys vs Bears – Josh McCown Had The Better Defense
The Chicago Bears didn’t have to plow through the snow like other teams over this NFL weekend, but they also didn’t have to face any kind of defensive capability, pretty much scoring at will against the Dallas Cowboys, with Josh McCown possibly having the best game of his career in a 45-28 win.

Philadelphia Eagles – Winners of the 2013 Snow Bowl
For a half or so, it looked like the Detroit Lions, thanks to the strong arm of Matthew Stafford and the big target Calvin Johnson happens to be, were more accustomed to the weather. The moment LeSean McCoy got going, everything flipped, and the Philadelphia Eagles looked like the weather wasn’t even bothering them, as their running back slid his way to the record books and to a 34-20 win.

San Francisco 49ers – The NFC West Isn’t Over Yet
Barely scraping a 19-17 win at home against the Seattle Seahawks probably won’t be enough for the San Francisco 49ers to win the division, but it certainly keeps them in prime position to win one of the wild card playoff spots, avoiding a loss that would have made things very complicated.

Baltimore Ravens – A Crazy Ending in the Snow
The Minnesota Vikings (rightfully so) had complaints about the officials. Adrian Peterson had something to say about the Baltimore crowd. The Minnesota Vikings once again managed to drop a game in the final seconds, while the Baltimore Ravens continue to stumble towards the playoffs with the craziest finish to an NFL game we’ve seen in a very long time, winning 29-26.

New Orleans Saints – Still Kings of the NFC South
The hype from what Cam Newton and Ron Rivera are doing this season with the Carolina Panthers isn’t over, but it’s been put into prespective after a 31-14 loss against the New Orleans Saints, as Drew Brees put on quite the impressive performance, throwing four touchdown passes.

New England Patriots – A Happy Ending, Despite Everything
It was hard to say how pleased, if at all, were the New England Patriots with their 27-26 win over the Cleveland Browns, scoring two touchdowns in the final minute of the game. They got help from the officials, they probably lost Rob Gronkowski for the season (again), and their defense and especially secondary looked embarrassing at times against a team that has only one go-to-guy on offense.

2013 College Football Season – Final BCS Standings
The latest edition of the BCS standings isn’t just the last one for the 2013 College Football season, but the final top 25 we’ll ever get to see, as the sport moves on to a playoff system instead of polls + computer rankings to determine the two teams to make the national championship game. By the way, no surprise there, as Florida State and Auburn finish at 1-2, heading to play for the Crystal ball.

College Football – Final Top 25 Rankings of the Regular Season
The final AP Poll of the regular season doesn’t really surprise anyone – Florida State and Auburn are the only team with first place votes, and all likely will be the programs that head into the national championship game. The rest of the top 25 simply signifies the chances of other schools to make it to the other BCS bowls, unless some conference affiliation has already taken care of that.

Oklahoma Sooners – The More Quarterbacks The Better
This is what rivalry games were made for – not to win championships, but to ruining the chance of getting there. Oklahoma had only the motivation of spoiling it for Oklahoma State, but it was enough to pull off the upset 33-24 win in Stillwater, getting a great cameo appearance off the bench by Blake Bell, one of fourth quarterbacks used by the Sooners, and a huge all-around performance from Jalen Saunders, getting things done as a receiver, rusher and punt returner.
