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
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
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
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.

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
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
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
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.
