Brown Bag it, Baby
1. New England Patriots (12-2, –) New England has a tendency to make young quarterbacks look like Joe Montana, and that’s what they did with Matt Flynn on Sunday. It’s possible the Packers would have won if Rodgers played, but …
Philly fans surely haven’t finished enjoying the Eagles’ comeback win over the Giants on Sunday. Conversely, the pain for Giants fans has not been ameliorated, and only winning out might help. I’ll tell you something else that …
On second thought, maybe Eli Manning wasn’t the loneliest man in the world on Sunday. No doubt he was pretty lonely in that press room, but at least he wasn’t ordered into solitary confinement. After he punted the ball to DeSean Jackson …
By now we all know about the miracle at the New Meadowlands where the Eagles scored 28 points in the final eight minutes of the game to come back and beat the Giants 38-31. Surprisingly punter Matt Dodge was not fired this week despite punting to …
Even when he’s not playing Tony Romo manages to stay in the spotlight. The Cowboys quarterback, who has been out nearly two months with a broken collarbone, was finally placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Dallas was hoping Romo would be able to …
With a 40-14 victory over the Vikings on Monday night, the Chicago Bears clinched the NFC North title for the first time since 2006. At 10-4, the Bears can earn a No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs if they win their remaining two games. …
Wide receiver Terrell Owens ended his season in about the most fitting fashion possible: catchless. Actually, T.O. was playing well for the Bengals who had lost 10 in a row before beating the Browns Sunday, but his mouth apparently was becoming a …
If you thought the Patriots were going to hammer the Packers on Sunday night because Matt Flynn was in for Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, you’re not alone. I think we all can raise our hands if we were asked that question. That also means …
With their 9th straight playoff appearance on the line at home against the Jaguars, the Colts scratched out a 34-24 win. Jacksonville has to be extremely disappointed with the loss because a win would have given them their first ever AFC South title. …
Matt Cassel may have been a disappointment for the Chiefs last year, but the sixth year quarterback is earning his pay this season. Cassel has played turnover-free football, throwing for 24 touchdowns and only five interceptions all season. In fact, …
If the 6-8 record didn’t already tell you the Seattle Seahawks were in trouble this season, their thoughts of naming Charlie Whitehurst the starting quarterback should spell out their problems. Seattle got blitzed at home by the Falcons 34-18, …
Prior to Sunday, no NFL game had ever ended on a punt return for a touchdown. Thanks to the Giants, that streak has been broken. After blowing a 31-10 lead with 7:28 left in the game, the Giants were punting on the final play of regulation to try and …
The matchup in Baltimore between the Saints and Ravens was one of several key games with heavy playoff implications Sunday. Baltimore won it 30-24 to solidify their playoff chances, making both teams 10-4. The defense held New Orleans to just 269 …
The last two weeks has been an utter disaster for the Minnesota Vikings. Brett Favre’s consecutive games streak was snapped, backup Tarvaris Jackson got hurt and ended up on injured reserve, the Metrodome roof collapsed because of snow, and the …
The Indianapolis Colts have missed the playoffs just twice with Peyton Manning as their quarterback — in his rookie season of 1998 and in 2001. They are currently riding a streak of eight straight playoff appearances, but that streak is in serious …
