The
NFL's unbeatens is now down to two teams: Denver and Kansas City. Both teams
kept their winning streaks alive with home victories; the Chiefs over AFC West
rival Oakland and Denver faced off against a surprisingly frisky Jacksonville squad.
The
Steelers finally got their first win of the season, so there are now 3 teams
with a goose egg in the win column: Giants, Buccaneers, and to no one's
surprise, Jacksonville.
Dallas
defeated their hated division rival Washington to pull their record to .500.
The factor in this game: special teams. That was a bold move for Jason Garrett
to decline a Washington penalty on 4th down in the second quarter and force
them to punt again. Instead of accepting a 5-yard penalty, the Cowboys cashed
it in with an 86 yard punt return for a touchdown by Dwayne Harris in the
second quarter.
Up
next for the Cowboys is a trip to the City of Brotherly Shove to face their NFC
East rival the Philadelphia Eagles. The winner of this game will earn sole
possession of first place in the NFC East.
As
for that other Texas team... this is their fourth consecutive loss. I'm going
to allow my
good friend Monica to comment about it. All I can say is if Houston loses
their fifth straight game, I can expect a lot of Houston Texans fans to do this
to their TVs:
The
following teams have a bye week in Week 6: the Saints and Raiders. Again, fantasy
owners, adjust your rosters accordingly.
Week
7 features several divisional matchups. Tonight the Seahawks travel down to
Phoenix to face off against the Cardinals. There is the previously mentioned
Dallas at Philadelphia game. The AFC East is confined to the Noon games slot
with the Jets hosting the Patriots and the Bills traveling to Miami. Late games
feature the 49ers traveling to Tennessee to play a surprisingly competitive
Titans team.
Sunday
Night features Peyton Manning returning to Indianapolis to take on his former
team. A neck injury prevented Peyton Manning from playing in 2011 and the Colts
dropped like a rock. Indianapolis used their draft pick to selected Andrew
Luck. I'm sure it is a point of controversy, but the Colts did what they had to
do as a franchise. Manning turned Indianapolis from being just a basketball
town into also one that also is a football city. He was the face of the
franchise and the Colts plan on a pre-game ceremony honoring his
accomplishments.
Monica
and I both finished with similar 11-4 records so I am glad that my friendly
competitor was able to break out of her slump. I have closed the gap between me
and Mr.
Blake to one game. I would have tied him if it wasn't for those meddling
kids the Saints giving the Patriots the ball back with plenty of time for
Tom Brady to engineer his 32nd 4th quarter comeback.
No
matter. I think I have a good shot of passing him this week.

Well, it looks like you were right about the Cowboys and the 49ers and I was right about the Steelers, so all tied up.
