Week 16 NFL Review

Falcons at Lions- Falcons clinch home-field, but Calvin Johnson attains a slew of records, including Jerry Rice's receiving record for a single season. Can Atlanta carry the sudden momentum into the playoffs? Time will tell

Titans at Packers- Packers left nothing to chance in this one, and is that really a surprise? 55-7 is a surprise, but if you can't stop the offense this will happen. Rodgers throws for three touchdowns and runs one in, now they wait to see what the 49ers do.

Better right now-Green Bay

Raiders at Panthers- How bad is Oakland? Both teams aren't that great, but at least put up a fight! Cam Newton leads the team in rushing (which can't continue) and scores both touchdowns in the 17-6 win.

Bills at Dolphins-Miami can outplay Buffalo, but not many other teams. Tannehill to Bush may be a new combination in the NFL as the two hook up twice today. C.J. Spiller puts in work, running for 138 on 2 carries, but with Fitzpatrick not throwing any touchdowns the Bills can't keep up. 24-10 in a meaningless AFC East game.

Bengals at Steelers- Cincy is in the playoffs and Pitt is eliminated. Eliminate a division rival and earn a playoff birth at the same time? Awesome. AJ Green was the only one of the “Cincinnati Three” to perform great, catching 10 balls for 116 yards. Josh Brown kicks the game winner with four seconds left. Enjoy the long off-season Pittsburgh.

Patriots at Jaguars-Jags gave the Pats an actual game, how many saw that? Henne throws for 348 yards, but three interceptions which factor into New Englands win. The Pats need to play much better, Brady throwing two interceptions and being sacked three times.

Better right now-Patriots

Better @ the end of the season-Patriots



Colts at Chiefs-Chiefs imitate the Jags and give Indianapolis a game. Jamaal Charles, one of the few gems Kansas City has, runs for 226 yards and a touchdown in the close loss. Hillis also goes for 101 yards, Colts have to tighten up majorly on their run defense. Luck throws a touchdown strike to Wayne with under five minutes left in the game and the Colts are in the playoffs...didn't see that coming at the start of the season.

Better right now-Colts

Better @ the end of the season-Colts



Saints at Cowboys-Cowboys fighting for their playoff lives host an offensive showcase with one of the best QB's in the NFL...not a smart way to increase your playoff chances. Both Romo and Brees throw for over 400 yards (446 to 416 in favor of Brees) and over three touchdowns a piece (4 to 3 in favor of Romo). Dez Bryant catches nine passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns, Colston catches 10 for 153, Sproles caught seven for 104 yards, and Romo hooks up with 19 seconds left to Miles Austin to tie the game! Garrett Hartley sends the Dallas faithful home sad for the holidays with a 20 yard game-winner in OT.

Better right now-Draw

Better @ the end of the season-Draw



Redskins at Eagles-RGIII maybe shouldn't have played this week. His stats were bland in comparison to the rest of the season. Foles throws it all over the field, totaling 345 yards, but throws only one touchdown (paired with an interception). Today's win is on the Skins defense, grabbing one interception, five sacks, and forcing one fumble (Foles). Andy Reid is employed for one more week unless Santa brings him a coaching job for Christmas.

Better right now-Redskins

Better @ the end of the season-Redskins



Rams at Buccaneers-Things continue to go back for Tampa Bay. Four interceptions thrown by Josh Freeman dooms the Bucs while St. Louis does enough to win.

Vikings at Texans- Peterson vs Foster wasn't what everyone wanted. Neither RB was on the top of their game, but Peterson wins the battle, and the Vikings hault Houston's quest for home-field until the final week of the year. Go Peterson, run as hard as you can towards the record!

Better right now-Houston

Better @ the end of the season-Houston



Chargers at Jets-Tebow is out and going to the team he should have been on (Jacksonville) and the Jets start McElroy. This season has been a series of bad choices and PR moves for New York and if they could do it all again they probably wouldn't make the same choices. Shonn Greene runs for two touchdowns and 38 yards, McElroy throws for 185 yards and throws a pick. San Diego is playing for Norv, Rivers passing for two touchdowns in the win. Todays win for San Diego was on their defense, welcoming McElroy to the QB starting spot with 11 sacks! Now if only every team they faced could play like the Jets did maybe the Chargers would be in the playoffs. Both coaches have had nightmare seasons.

Browns at Broncos-Manning and the Broncos have no problem with the Browns in Denver. 34-12 Denver, and the Broncos are close to a first-round bye. 339 yards and three touchdowns are added to an amazing year Payton Manning is having. The race for Comeback Player of The Year and MVP is a tight one.

Better right now-Broncos

Better @ the end of the season-Broncos



Bears at Cardinals- The Bears keep pushing towards the playoffs while the Cardinals continue to fall. When you don't have a proven, consistent quarterback, things can turn from worse to a nightmare every week. Larry Fitzgerald isn't in a great situation in “Zona”, while the Bears defense is clicking again even without the face of their defense (Urlacher). 28-13 Bears win in a game that wasn't close.

Better right now-Bears

Better @ the end of the season-Bears



Giants at Ravens- Flacco gets the offense going and it doesn't stop until the clock hits zero. Throwing for 309 and two touchdowns, Flacco didn't turn the ball over, Pierce and Rice both rush for over 100 yards (Pierce with 123, Rice 107) and the Ravens clinch a division title. The Giants are almost out of the playoffs. They need a miracle, and this time that miracle may be too incredible to hope for.

Better right now-Even

Better @ the end of the season-Even



49ers at Seahawks-The Seattle Seahawks may be the most dangerous team in the NFL. No team wants to play at Quest, and if they do, they lose. Russell Wilson throws four touchdowns and 171 yards against a defense that was without Aldon Smith. Lynch rushed for 111 yards on 26 carries, scoring once in a 42-13 beatdown. Seattle clinches a playoff birth, and San Francisco can lose their #2 seed next week if the Packers win.

Better right now-Seattle
