Week 14 NFL Review

Broncos at Raiders- Peyton throws for 310, but the Broncos don't blow our Oakland like everyone thought they would. They have to stay sharp and progress forward. The teams in the playoffs will be much better, mistakes need to be corrected.
Better right now- Broncos
Better at the end of the season- Broncos



Ravens at Redskins- RGIII avoids an ACL tear that would've ended a spectacular season, but does leave the game. Kirk Cousins finishes what he started, and Washington wins in overtime.
Better right now- Baltimore
Better at the end of the season- Baltimore



Chiefs at Browns- Two teams whose seasons have been over for a while. Jamaal Charles rushes for 165 yards in a losing effort. He needs to get on a better team where his talent will translate into wins. The Chiefs need a lot of work, almost as much as the Jaguars.

Better at the end of the season- Browns



Chargers at Steelers- Where have these Chargers been all year!? Big Ben's return is spoiled in a big way. Danario Alexander catches two touchdowns, a fumble recovery in the end zone, and two field goals (one from 51 yards) by Novak help San Diego win.

Titans at Colts- Andrew Luck struggles to get yards against a division opponent that he should have lit up. Chuck was in the box, it's good to see him back around a familiar area, and the Colts win. Luck is with Indianapolis and they are heading towards the playoffs.

Jets at Jaguars- An ugly game for most of the way before some scoring occurred. The Jags can't buy a win, and the Jets can't look good in one even against Jacksonville. Sanchez throwing for 111 against the Jags probably won't save his job.

Bears at Vikings- Adrian Peterson continues his march towards history, Comeback Player of The Year, and MVP. 1600 yards on the season and counting. The Vikings beat the Bears and Chicago is losing steam. The runner-up in the NFC North isn't guaranteed a playoff spot.
Better right now- Draw
Better at the end of the season- Bears by a little



Falcons at Panthers- With a chance to clinch home-field advantage through the playoffs, the Falcons lay an egg early and lose to Carolina. They will get home-field, but I don't think that matters, no team is afraid of them in the NFC.
Better right now- Falcons
Better at the end of the season- Falcons



Eagles at Buccaneers- Nick Foles drives down the field and throws the game-winning touchdown as time expires. Philadelphia and Tampa Bay are similar in many ways, including the similarity that neither makes the playoffs.
Better right now- Even
Better at the end of the season- Even



Rams at Bills- For one week Greg Zuerlein is not needed to keep the Rams in a game. Bradford throws a touchdown (with 48 seconds left in the game), Jackson runs one, and St. Louis beats the Bills in a close one. Each team will need to continue to rebuild if either wants to compete for a playoff spot during the season.
Better right now- Draw
Better at the end of the season- Draw



Cowboys at Bengals- Cowboys win on the road with a last-second field goal. The Bengals are still the better team and will be in the playoffs. For the second week there is a death in the NFL where a player is taken before his time, this has to stop. Forget about safety on the kickoffs (or taking them away all-together, which is a dumb idea), focus on off the field issues.

Dolphins at 49ers- Kaepernick isn't bad in another start, throwing for 185, but no touchdowns passing. He runs for 53 yards and a touchdown (making up 50 of the 53). San Francisco wins, but they weren't as dominant as they were earlier in the season.
Better right now- 49ers
Better at the end of the season- 49ers



Saints at Giants- Drew Brees continues to struggle while Eli Manning has a field day with the Saints defense. Manning threw for four touchdowns and 259 yards. Despite the score, it was very entertaining, showcasing touchdowns on all sides of the ball. The Giants have a return specialist now in David Wilson.

Cardinals at Seahawks- This was a beat down in Seattle. The Cardinals in the early part of the season looked good, but now they are just dead birds. Seattle is getting better as the season progresses to its end, and that is what a playoff teams wants. Lynch runs for three touchdowns, two touchdowns by the Seattle defense, and a few field goals translate into the most points in Seattle's history: 58-0.

Better at the end of the season- Seahawks



Lions at Packers- The Packers have problems with Detroit, and the weather didn't make it easy on either team. Both teams find a running game, but the Packers prevail in the end.
