Week 15 Recap

What a wacky week 15. Many close games. A number of games with playoff implications. It was a fun day in the NFL.

-It all started with a back and forth game between the Colts and Jaguars. The Jags were really trying hard to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Colts were looking to continue to be undefeated. This game came down to who had the ball last and Manning hit Wayne for a 60 plus yard td. Fun game.

-The Cowboys knocked the Saints from the undefeated. No one saw this coming. With Dallas's December swoon and the Saints playing great it looked like a Saints victory would come easy. It turns out the Dallas d stopped a late Saints rally for the win.

-Now onto the wacky Sunday games. The Patriots beat the Bills. Little closer than the game was. Nothing much happened in this game.

-This could have been the game of the week but you had two bad teams and no one really cared. It was a shoot out with big plays all around. Josh Cribbs had two kickoff returns for tds and breaks the NFL record with 8 total. Jerome Harrison ran all over and had the 3rd biggest rushing day in NFL history. The Chiefs kept battling back and with 45 seconds left the Browns scored the late td to win it.

-In what was a huge game for the Jets they lost a closely played game to the spoiler Falcons. The Jets got an early 65 yard td from Sanchez to Edwards and it looked like they may run away with the game. After that the Jets offense stumbled and 3 attempted fgs went awry. The Falcons couldn't move the ball on the Jets defense all day but on their last possession they put a drive together to really hurt the Jets playoff chances.

-The Texans beat the Rams in a battle of defense. Andre Johnson had another huge game but just did not find the end zone. With the win the Texans are one of about ten teams battling for the last playoff spot and have a huge game against the Dolphins this week.

-The Titans offense with Chris Johnson and Vince Young continue to roll. A late rally by the Dolphins tied it up and the game went into overtime but the Titans kicked a field goal to win it. At 7-7 both teams have a shot at the playoffs. It would be fun to see the Titans get in. No one would want to play them.

-The Cardinals got out to an early lead. The Lions battled back and on the last drive Warner was able to lead the Cardinals for the game winning td. Going into the playoffs the Cardinals have not played that well and is a bit of a concern in Arizona.

-Another crazy game. The Raiders lead by Jamarcuss Russel won on a late td from Russel to Chaz Schillins. The Broncos are not playing well and another loss could lead to them being knocked out of the playoffs after starting 6-0.

-In a great game the Chargers beat a heavy hearted Bengals team. It was a great game. The Chargers got an early lead and the Bengals battled back and then a last second fg by Nate Kaeding won the game.

-The Ravens are rolling to the playoffs and embarrassed the Bears. So much so that Jay Cutler was pulled from the game. Rumblings are coming about Lovie's job but the Bears have said it will not happen. It will be interesting to see what happens in Chicago because I believe a change is needed.

-The Bucs upset the Seahawks in Seattle. This was a shocking win but the Seahawks have not shown up the last few weeks. Will be interesting to see the Seahawks offseason.

-The Eagles beat the 49ers pretty easily. The Eagles offense is rolling and will be fun to see what they will do in the playoffs.

-Packers Steelers what a game. Back and forth and it looks like the Packers have won. On the last second Rothlisberger to Wallace for the td. What a throw and what a catch. With the win the Steelers get back into the playoff talk with a 7-7 record and will be interesting to see what happens in the AFC with the final two weeks.

-Carolina shocked the Vikings and beat them big. Favre and Childress got into in on the sideline. As good as the Vikings have played keep a close eye on the 40 year old Favre. Makes you wonder if he is running out of gas.

Another fun week in the NFL. It'll be a fun final two weeks.
