I saw the replay multiple times... Great pick and return for a TD by Polamalu. :victory:

Only 29 years old, but Polamalu is a great player... Definitely a first ballot Hall of Famer. :victory:

Hopefully not their next game(s) too, play at the Steelers, then hopefully the Bears will have recovered as they then travel to Chicago. :sweat: Haven't read the paper yet, can't wait to read how the Post ends up ripping FB again. :rofl:

Looks like there's a LOT of big games next weekend... Should be very interesting.

Yup, Eagles at the Giants will be a biggie as long as the Giants keep pace tonight. Colts host the Jaguars in a do or die game for them, :sweat: plus the Saints travel to Baltimore in a huge game for both of them, Saints have been going a bit unnoticed but after the Pats they could be playing the best ball right now in the league. :applaud:

Pats continue to roll with their win over Chicago. That last TD before the half, almost didn't happen. Apparently, the coaches & some players were telling Brady to take a knee. Brady decided to call a play instead. But I agree with Belichick, the lack of offense in the second half was a bit disappointing.

The Lions upset the Packers.

That Bengals offense is terrible. :sweat:

Speaking of terrible offense, the Jets lose again. :victory:

I thought the Pats just took their foot off the gas...

Most likely, but if that was their plan, Brady should have left the game a lot sooner.

Then again, Bellichick has never been known to take his foot off the gas.

Giants dominate the Vikings, 21-3.

No surprise there.

If it wasn't mentioned before: the Vikes are done... One of the biggest disappointments of the NFL season, I'd say.

What was that coach thinking? That somehow none of the television cameras would pick that up? Stupid, stupid move. I read that he's been banned for the rest of the season, which is what he deserves, to go along with the embarrassment, and lost of respect from his peers. The Jets have enough problems on the field and the sideline incident is just another distraction to deal with.

Two weeks ago, it looked like the Jets could be playing for a first-round bye late in the season, but now they'll be fighting for a wild-card spot with two tough games ahead, at Pittsburgh then Chicago. Sanchez has been playing poorly as of late and the running game has sputtered. Sure, 9-4 looks good on paper, but it's really put up or shut up time for the Jets or else they might be sitting home when the playoffs begin.

The coach is lucky that he was just banned and not fired.

Really low-class, unsportsmanlike move on his part. :shakehead:

Serves Rex Reed right: all that smack he was talking at the beginning of the season is catching up to him... Maybe in the future, he'll shut his pie hole.

Fantastic game in Houston tonight. Shame that it will be overshadowed by Favre's streak coming to an end. :bleh:

At least the Bills can be proud of something. Ending Favre's streak > Winning Super Bowl :victory:

That was bad, but not as egregious as the infamous Dickey Moegle/Tommy Lewis incident in the 1954 Cotton Bowl. Moegle, a running back for Rice University was on his way to a 95-yard touchdown run when Lewis, a running back for Alabama, came off the bench and tackled him near the sidelines. The referee subsequently awarded Rice the touchdown. Rice went on to beat Alabama, and later on both Moegle and Lewis appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show to talk about the play.

^ I vaguely recall an incident involving Woody Hayes of Ohio State as well, but not the infamous punching incident that Hayes is well know for...
