Saints Destroy Patriots, Indy Gets By Houston, Niners Snap Jaguars 3 Game Win Streak and More

The game of the week was earlier tonight with the Saints playing the Pats in the Superdome. Many saw this as a true test for the Saints to see if they were for real. It seemed more like homework. The Saints destroyed the Pats with Brees throwing 18/23, 371 yards and 5 TD passes. Brady in the meanwhile had a bad night throwing no TDs and 2 INTs. Final score was 38-17. The other undefeated team, the Colts, won as well as they avoided another upset as they beat Houston 35-27. Manning lead the Colts from a 13 point deficit at halftime as he threw 3 TDs and 2 INTs for the game. Colts and Saints are now both 11-0.

Other games this week included the Niners beating the Jaguars 20-3 and ending the Jaguars' 3 game winning streak. The Niners defense was great as they only allowed 3 points and Alex Smith played alright throwing 27/41, 232 yards and 2 TD passes. This team can win games but execution is key for them. Brett Favre and the Vikings beat Chicago 36-10 as Favre threw 32/48, 392 yards and 3 TD passes. Jay Cutler threw for one TD and 2 INTs as he continues to struggle in Chicago. While Denver did win on Thanksgiving, the Chargers won to keep their lead in the AFC West at one game as they beat the Chiefs 43-14. Philip Rivers threw for 317 Yards and 2 TDs while L.T. ran for under 50 yards but did get 2 TDs on the ground. The Comeback Titans continue their luck as they won their 5 game in a row as they beat Arizona 20-17. Vince Young showed he could throw the ball as he went 27/43, 387 yards and one TD pass. The Titans are now 5-6 on the year.

I now wonder how far the Saints and the Colts can take their undefeated seasons. Odds are they will stumble before seasons end but wouldn't that be something if one or both teams finished 16-0? What about 18-0?

P.S. That means two undefeated teams in the Superbowl. I just jinxed it didn't I?
