NFL Reaction Week 15

*WINNING TEAM
Jacksonville  14      Atlanta  41
Atlanta took care of business in this Thursday night affair, and continues the push toward a playoff spot. They won't win the division, but can still make the playoffs. Matt Ryan looked good in throwing for over 200 yards and three touchdowns.


Dallas  31      Tampa Bay  15
The Cowboys got a good win on Saturday night, and make their push towards the division title.  Tampa Bay continues their slide down as they lose their eighth game in a row.  The Cowboys play the Eagles next, and have that rematch with the Giants looming at the end of the season.  That game should decide the division winner.


Cincinnati  20    St Louis  13
AJ Green continues his impressive rookie season surpassing 1,000 yards receiving in the Bengals win over the Rams. Andy Dalton joins Cam Newton in the 3,000 yards passing club as well, quite a
feat for the rookie class.


Green Bay 14      Kansas City  19
The Packers get the first loss of their season in my surprise of the week. I thought the Packers would go 
unscathed in the regular season, but it goes to show you have to come to play each week in the NFL.




Washington  23       NY Giants  10
Just as it looked like the Giants were primed to take the NFC East
division after a good win over the Cowboys, they go out and lose the next week to this Redskins team. I'm 
starting to think that no one wants to win that division. Giants can still put it off with a couple of wins, but will 
it matter?


Carolina  28 Houston 13
The Panthers put it to the Texans, and Cam Newton continues his push towards Rookie of the Year. The 
Texans had been on a 7 game winning streak, and look to take out this loss on the Colts on Thursday night.


Miami  30       Buffalo  23
The Dolphins pick up the win here, and the Bills have completely fallen off the radar. Reggie Bush ran all over the Bills for over 200 yards, and the Dolphins help their interim coach, Todd Bowles, win his debut game.


Seattle  38      Chicago  14
The Seahawks have been slowly creeping into the playoff hunt and kept their hopes alive with a good win 
against the Bears. It doesn't get any easier for the Bears and their playoff hopes as they face the Packers 
after their first loss of the season. The Seahawks get the tough 49ers in their next game to continue their 
playoff push.


Tennessee  13      Indianapolis  27
The Colts pick up their first win of the season, and Donald Brown gives the highlight of an 80 yard touchdown run that almost got snuffed out in the backfield.


New Orleans  42      Minnesota  20
The Saints still look to me to be a force in the NFC. They are putting up ridiculous offensive numbers and 
Drew Brees might get some votes for MVP.


Detroit  28      Oakland  27
Matthew Stafford leads a game winning drive and the Lions defense gets a field goal block at the end to win 
this game. Still a shot for the playoffs with this Lions team, but they need to keep winning.


New England  41      Denver  23
The Patriots did what they needed to do to win this one, and win the division. Another division title for the 
Patriots and the Tebow hype dies down for a week. Denver needs to get back to winning the
next game if they want to keep playing in the postseason.


Cleveland  17      Arizona  20
The Cardinals are making a late season run to the playoffs and get another overtime win. Still an outside 
chance the Cardinals sneak into the playoffs if some teams lose in front of them.




NY Jets  19      Philadelphia  45
Maybe the Eagles aren't out of it yet, but they need to keep winning and hope the other teams in front lose.  
The Jets took a bad blow after winning a few games in a row, and making their own push to the playoffs. TheEagles actually have a shot at the division title, when it looked like they were done a few weeks ago.


Baltimore  14      San Diego  34
The Chargers get back to their winning games in December with a good win over the Ravens. To me, the 
Ravens were the top team in the AFC, but they will need to get back to their winning ways to prove that.


Pittsburgh  3      San Francisco  20
After some delays in the beginning of the game and in the second quarter, this game finally gets going. The 49ers look to make some noise in the NFC with a dominating win over the Steelers. Jim Harbaugh gets a huge vote from me as Coach of the Year, and this team has really turned it around from years past.
