Today the Undefeated teams continued to impress. The Colts held off the comeback Broncos as they won 28-16. What was remarkable was that Manning threw for 4 TDs in a game where he threw for less than 50% (20/42) and 3 INTs. His rating was 65.6 today but I'm sure he only cares for the win. The Saints also hold on in their game as they beat Atlanta 26-23. After Atlanta came back to tie it at 23 all, The Saints got the game winning field goal within 5 minutes. With these wins, the Colts have home field advantage while the Saints at least have a first round bye. This is also the first season for the Saints in which they won 13 games in the regular season.
The NFC East meanwhile had a power shift that favored the Eagles. First the Cowboys lose another in December this time to the Chargers 20-17. The Cowboys just couldn't keep up with the Chargers in this game and now fall to 8-5. With this win, the Chargers now have a two game lead in the AFC West at 10-3. Later the Eagles beat the Giants 45-38. It was a punching match (literally at the end) until the Eagles had a two TD lead the Giants just couldn't catch up to. Sunday ends with the Eagles in front of the NFC East over the Cowboys by one game. I hear panic in Dallas.
Other Games would include the Battle of the North Division Leaders with the Vikings beating the Bengals 30-10. The Minnesota defense held the Bengals down while Favre and the offense took over. The Packers continue their Winning Streak now at 5 Games as they beat the Bears 21-14. Rodgers had no TD passes in this game as Ryan Grant did the work with 137 yards and 2 TDs. The Pats hold on to their slim lead over the AFC East by beating the Panthers 20-10. Brady was alright win 192 Yards, one TD pass and one INT. The Dolphins stay right behind them with a 14-10 win over the Jags. Ricky Williams' 108 yards rushing and one TD help them in the victory.
Not a bad week but now the Colts may lose a game with everything clinched as they will most likely rest players. Who knows what the other undefeated team, Saints, will do.
