Week 15 NFL Review

Bengals @ Eagles- Andy Reid is gone at the end of the year, but a loss against Cincy didn't make things worse. Five turnovers help Cincinnati drop 24 unanswered points on the Eagles and win 34-13. “The Cincinnati Three” each score a touchdown, including Dalton running one in.

Giants @ Falcons- If the Falcons are trying to be consistent, now is a good time to start. Shutting out the arguable “best” team in the NFC is a great way to do it. Matt Ryan throws 3 touchdowns, Falcons are close to home-field.

Broncos @ Ravens- The Broncos all-around offense shows off its talent. The Ravens can't get anything rolling, their defense looks suspect, and their playoff lives are in danger. Denver is moving on and looking for home field perhaps.

Packers @ Bears- Packers wrap up the division title, now they have their eyes on a bye. The Bears chances of a playoff spot are hurt, nothing got rolling for the Bears today. James Jones scores all three of Green Bay's touchdowns. The Packers need a running game though if they want to win in the playoffs.
Better right now- Packers
Better @ the end of the season- Packers

Redskins @ Browns- Kirk Cousins doesn't blow his start. Throwing for over 300 yards and two touchdowns, Washington isn't out of the playoffs yet.
Better right now- Redskins
Better @ the end of the season- Redskins

Colts @ Texans- Texans lock up the AFC South and now can focus on home-field advantage. Foster runs for 165 yards, Johnson catches 11 for 151 yards and a touchdown. Both teams looked good, no real mistakes on either side, Houston was just too strong.
Better right now- Houston
Better @ the end of the season- Houston

Jaguars @ Dolphins- The battle For Florida between two teams that aren't relevant this year. A field goal is all Jacksonville can muster before Miami drops 24 on them.
Better right now- Miami
Better @ the end of the season- Miami

Buccaneers @ Saints- If the Saints could have played like this all year they would be in contention for the playoffs. Tampa doesn't have a very good day at all. Freeman throws four interceptions and fumbles once, Brees throws four touchdowns in the 41-0 thumping.
Better right now- Saints
Better @ the end of the season- Saints

Vikings @ Rams- AP is MVP. For the second week in a row Peterson runs for over 200 yards. He now has to average just below 150 yards per game in the final two weeks (Texans, Packers) to break the single-season record. GO PETERSON GO!
Better right now- Vikings
Better @ the end of the season- Vikings

Lions @ Cardinals- Arizona returns to what they were in the first four weeks. Beanie Wells runs for three touchdowns, doing the bulk of the offensive work. Two interceptions for the Cardinals (one of 102 yards) seals a 38-10 beat down of the Lions.
Better right now- Even
Better @ the end of the season- Even

Seahawks @ Bills- Seattle is not looking back, they are using the full head of steam they have and going all out every game. 50-17! Wow! Even against the Bills, Seattle is putting the pedal to the metal. Russell Wilson throws one, runs for thee, Lynch runs for over 100 and scores once, and Earl Thomas rubs it in with a 57 yard touchdown interception. The Seahawks are flying high.
Better right now- Seattle
Better @ the end of the season- Seattle

Chargers @ Panthers- Neither team has any playoff chance, but the Chargers have their coaches job on the line...guess they want him gone. Losing 31-7 against Carolina doesn't look good on a season that hasn't gone the least bit your way. Tolbert scores two, Cam throws two, Norv is probably gone at the end of the year.
Better right now- Even
Better @ the end of the season- Even

Steelers @ Cowboys- Both teams can make the playoffs, whoever lost this game would have less of a chance. Cowboys take this one in OT, Pittsburgh's chances in the stacked AFC are weakened. I don't think either team will make the playoffs, but both after today are still in the race.
Better right now- Even
Better @ the end of the season- Even

Chiefs @ Raiders- Another matchup of two down-and-out teams on a day where there were many matchups with winning teams (The most this late in the season ever). Raiders shutout the Chiefs, Sebastian Janikowski makes five of six field goals (20, 50, 57, 30, 47). Jamaal Charles only touches the ball nine times, as the main offensive spark for the Kansas City team, he needs the ball at least 20 times.
Better right now- Draw
Better @ the end of the season- Draw

49ers @ Patriots- What a game! Back and forth, the Patriots go down big, only to come back big in a game that was affected just enough by the weather. A whole lot of turnovers and fumbles in the first half give way to a slew of scoring in the second half. After the mud and grass stopped flying, it's San Francisco coming out on top and all but sealing their 2nd seed in the NFC playoffs.
Better right now- Draw
Better @ the end of the season- Draw

Jets @ Titans- The Jets looked lost in a game they NEEDED to win to keep any hope of playoffs alive. Sanchez threw four interceptions, the offense was out of sync, and no one could protect the QB. Chris Johnson ripped a 94-yard touchdown run, but only totaled 28 more yards on 20 attempts. This game was terrible, people knew it would be.
