The NFL is Poop - Week 6

Domination
That's what the Patriots did to the Cowboys. I know the Cowboys took a 24-21 lead in the second half, but if you were watching that game it only seemed like a matter of time before the Patriots buried them. Brady was unbelievable, it seemed like he hit every pass in racking up 388 yards and 5 touchdowns and no interceptions. He did fumble which gave the Cowboys a touchdown to the cut the lead to 14-10. If Brady hadn't fumbled the Pats would have scored to make it 21-3. Also the Patriots continued to run Steve Spurrier's late game offense from his Florida days (bring in your backups, let them run the ball and if they score it's the other team's fault). For the second straight week they went for it on 4th down with less than 2 minutes to go.

How Old Is He? Like 45?
Actually Vinny Testaverde is only 43, not quite as old as Jimmy Key. But Testaverde played like a 23 year old, coming in off the streets and leading the Panthers to a 25-10 road victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Oveall Vinny was 20 for 206 yards and one beautiful 69 yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith.

Game of the Week
Minnesota Vikings 34 Chicago Bears 31
You wouldn't expect the Bears defense to be involved in a game like this, huge plays all over the place.
Here are the 8 touchdowns scored in this game:
89 yard punt return by Devin Hester
60 yard catch by Troy Williamson
39 yard catch by Bernard Berrian
67 yard run by Adrian Peterson
73 yard run by Adrian Peterson
35 yard run by Adrian Peterson
33 yard catch by Muhsin Muhammad
81 yard catch by Devin Hester

Adrian Peterson had 3 touchdowns for a total of 175 yards. Devin Hester had 2 TDs for a total of 70 yards.

Here's the most amazing stat as far as I'm concerned. Halfway through the fourth quarter the Bears ran two plays from the red zone. Those were the only two plays snapped from inside the other team's 20 yard line in the whole game. And 65 points were scored. Incredible.

Game of Next Week
Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars
Not a lot of good games on the slate this week, but this should be a good interesting matchup. The Colts are still undefeated though playing under the radar because of the Patriots. The Jaguars are 4-1 and would move into first place in the division with a win here. The Jags have always done well against the Colts by running the ball down their throats. I have a feeling they can do it to them again in this one.

Brief Rant About the Redskins
Once again another horrible loss to prevent them from getting over the hump. So instead of being 4-1 and second in the conference, they're now 3-2 and stuck right in the middle of the pack. They had a 4-7 lead in this game until the end of the third quarter. After a Redskins 3 and out the Packers put together a long drive for a field goal. On the Redskins second play after the field goal Santana Moss fumbled and the Packers returned it for a touchdown to make it 17-14. The next 3 drives were 4 plays and out, 3 and out, and a Portis fumble on first down. A sack and a missed field goal saved the Redskins from a bigger hole. On the next drive Gibbs passed on a 50 yard game tying field goal attempt and went for it on 4th down but came up short on a screen pass to Ladell Betts. But even so, all was not lost. A Sean Taylor interception gave them the ball back. Campbell muffed the snap on first down, Portis lost 4 on second down and Campbell was sacked for a loss of 3 on third down. On 4th and 22 Gibbs elected to punt with 3 minutes to go. But the defense forced a 3 and out and the offense got the ball back. An incomplete pass, a sack, a penalty and two more incompletes ended the game. Two drives down a field goal, and the Redskins lost 15 yards. Horrible.

Cheerleader of the Week
Brita of the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders
The Vikings, like the Buffalo Jills, have a horrible cheerleader website. Cheerleader photos are only available in a slideshow so I can't save them and post them here. I like that Brita's parents named her after a water filtration system. She has 2 dogs, a great dane and a shepherd mix, and they both have really weird names (Mr. Vincenzo and Pacino Wolfgang Amadeus).

If The Super Bowl Were Played Today
New England Patriots 48 Dallas Cowboys 27
I think we saw why. I also still think the Cowboys are the best team in the NFC.
