Week 10 Recap

One more week, one more win. The Tennessee Titans are still undefeated and there are no signs that they will stop some time soon. The 1972 Dolphins will be watching week after week to see when the undefeated streak ends but the best chance is in 2 week against the Jets or in week 16 when the Titans play the Steelers. Enough with the unappreciated Titans though, here is a recap of week 10.

Rookie Matt Ryan is still flying high in Atlanta. Ryan threw for 248 yards and 2 touchdowns to help the Falcons get to a (6-3) record and now only 1 game behind the divisional leading Panthers. Another player that just got their own spotlight in the NFL is Aaron Rodgers. He played in Minnesota and came up one point short when Mason Crosby missed a 52-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the game. Rodgers is still the leader of the (4-5) Packers but they will need to start winning if they want to make it to the playoffs. In the divisional matchup of the week, the Patriots took care of the Bills with a 20-10 win. Now the AFC East is lead by the Pariots and Jets tied at (6-3) but the Dolphins and Bills are both (5-4) and the division is up for grabs. The upset of the week was...well there were no upsets but the Chargers had a close call against the Chiefs. The now (1-8) Chiefs had a 13-6 lead going into the half but it all came down to the end. Following a 3-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Thigpen to Tony Gonzalez, the Chiefs went for 2 rather than tieing it with the extra point. The pass was knocked down from the Chargers secondary and the Chargers snuck out a 1 point win.

This week I went 9-4 and 2 of the 4 losses were on the last plays of the games, with a missed field goal and a missed 2 point conversion. This puts me at 26-15 on the season and with no more bye weeks that win total will be sky rocketing. The top performers of the week were Jay Cutler with 447 yards and 3 touchdowns, followed by Kurt Warner who had 328 yards and 3 touchdowns (that pretty close to 350 and 3 touchdowns like I predicted). The top runningback of the week was Thomas Jones with 149 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Rams. This was not a big shocker due to the Rams lack of run defense and Jones' abundence of talent. The top wide reciever was Eddie Royal with 164 yards and 1 touchdown, followed by Anquan Boldin who had 92 yards and 2 touchdowns.

This past week was full of close games, no thanks to the Jet's 47-3 spanking of the St. Louis Rams, and with no more bye weeks it is officially crunch time. All of the playoff hopefuls will be playing with their hair on fire so strap down the chin straps and tie your shoes tight because it's time for the big hits and the remarkable plays.
