Two good wins albeit against two very average teams. Nevertheless this Bills defence can be devastating and it pushes them into the top half for this week.
Offense just couldn’t get moving, and when you’re up against Peyton Manning, you have to keep scoring.
Could not stop Drew Brees, plain and simple. He had 5 touchdown passes and big Ben just couldn’t keep up.
One field goal for the entire game, just one. This team is much better than what it showed against the Seahawks, but the loss puts them behind the 8-ball.
Huge win for the Chargers when the game seemed all but over. Now sit in a wildcard spot, but have many teams only a game behind.
Stafford and Megatron finally connected for a couple of touchdowns, and the offense looks back to normal.
Not sure how they let the Chargers score 3 touchdowns in the last quarter, but now they are a game and a half behind the Bengals. Have to win every game from here to make the playoffs.
Does Carson Palmer really make a big difference? The answer is yes. In the last 2 starts without him, the Cardinals were basically shutout to the Seahawks and were embarrassed by the Falcons. Starting to fade away.
