  • New England Patriots – A Happy Ending, Despite Everything

    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.

  • Jacksonville Jaguars – Shockingly, the Hottest Team in The AFC

    Jacksonville Jaguars – Shockingly, the Hottest Team in The AFC

    Things have gone from weird to almost fantastically bizarre in the AFC South. The Houston Texans can’t stop losing, reaching 11 in a row, while the Jacksonville Jaguars, until not too long ago the worst team in the NFL, have the longest winning streak in the conference, picking up a third straight with their 27-20 win.

  • Detroit Lions – Reggie Bush Changed The Running Game Completely

    Detroit Lions – Reggie Bush Changed The Running Game Completely

    There were those who didn’t want Reggie Bush to sign with the Detroit Lions, afraid he’s coming at too much of a price, and actually being washed up as a feature running back. In this season so far and the combination with him and Jouique Bell, both as rushers and as receiving targets has proven quite the opposite.

  • Carolina Panthers – A Defense Like No Other in The NFL

    Carolina Panthers – A Defense Like No Other in The NFL

    It’s never about just one thing, one player or coach when a team does very well in the NFL, but it’s usually one thing that takes the bulk of the credit. With the Carolina Panthers, despite the redemption story of Ron Rivera and Cam Newton once again looking like a quarterback that will dominate for years, it begins and ends with their defense.

  • NFL Passing Leaders Never Win The Super Bowl

    NFL Passing Leaders Never Win The Super Bowl

    Many people think that paying any attention to yard numbers in statistics as a measurement to a team’s success is simply being blinded by numbers. In support of that opinion, comes the whopping fact that no team with a quarterback that led the NFL in passing yards that season has ever won the Super Bowl.

  • NFL Playoff Picture – Week 13

    NFL Playoff Picture – Week 13

    Only one team so far has already clinched a playoff berth – the Seattle Seahawks, who in all likelihood will also finish as the champions in the NFC West and have home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The same goes for the Denver Broncos in the AFC West and also for the New England Patriots, but behind those three no one can really feel safe about where they are right now.

  • Seattle Seahawks – Russell Wilson, a Star on The Best Team in The NFL

    Seattle Seahawks – Russell Wilson, a Star on The Best Team in The NFL

    The Russell Wilson show was in full effect as the Seattle Seahawks pulled off a very impressive 34-7 win over the New Orleans Saints that puts them on top of the NFC, almost clinching home field advantage throughout the postseason, and positioning themselves as probably the best team in the NFL right now.

  • New England Patriots – Antonio Smith Thinks They’re Cheating

    New England Patriots – Antonio Smith Thinks They’re Cheating

    Instead of getting more credit from the media after a 34-31 win over the Houston Texans which included another impressive second half, leading the New England Patriots back from a double digit deficit, accusations or at least subtle allegations coming from Antonio Smith force you to at least consider that there was something less than Kosher about the way the Pats adjusted to what their rivals were doing to slow them down.

  • Carolina Panthers – Cam Newton Has a Perfect Weekend

    Carolina Panthers – Cam Newton Has a Perfect Weekend

    It’s hard to tell what is making Cam Newton more happy these days; winning for the eighth consecutive time by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-6, improving to 9-3 this season, or the sight of Auburn, a program he led to the national title almost three years ago, getting the best of Alabama in the Iron Bowl.

  • Philadelphia Eagles – Nick Foles Can Do No Wrong

    Philadelphia Eagles – Nick Foles Can Do No Wrong

    The Philadelphia Eagles are keeping pace with the Dallas Cowboys at the top of the NFC East with a fourth consecutive win after yet another impressive performance from the undisputed starting quarterback, Nick Foles, leading his team to a 24-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
