Jaguars 36, Bills 26 The Jaguars looked like they were trying their hardest to give this game away. They fumbled a punt at the beginning of the contest, which led to a Bills touchdown. On the ensuing drive, David Garrard had a pass tipped and picked off. Buffalo responded with a field goal. Jacksonville was…

Packers 34, Lions 12 It’s pretty difficult to handicap NFL games. We all saw proof of this on the opening kickoff of this matchup. Jordy Nelson ran out to the 20, but fumbled. The Lions recovered. A few plays later, the Packers were whistled for a careless roughing-the-passer penalty, setting up the Lions on a…

Packers 34, Bills 7 Are the Bills trying to win games or showcase players so they can make nifty trades? I don’t understand this. They spent the No. 9 overall pick on C.J. Spiller, yet they gave him only one carry at Green Bay. Spiller took that one carry for three yards, and also had…

Jets 19, Bills 13 This was definitely not one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. Hundreds of fans were present in the Rogers Centre to see two losing teams battle it out. The NFL Network ran a promo featuring several players who were talking about how exciting it was to play in…

Saints 45, Cardinals 14 Wow. That’s all I can say. I didn’t think the Saints offense would click like this after taking two weeks off and struggling the two weeks before. Their ability to just flip the “on” switch like that was just amazing. But the astonishing thing here was New Orleans’ defense. No one…

Bears 16, Dolphins 0 This was one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever watched. I expected the Dolphins to come out fired up; they were at home in a prime-time game, and knew they had to give 110 percent to win with their third-string quarterback. Instead, Miami put forth zero effort. Most of the…

Eagles 34, Texans 24 The Eagles gave the Texans plenty of opportunities to win. They dropped two touchdown passes. They committed 11 penalties. They curiously threw the ball late in the game to give Houston extra time. But despite all this, the Texans found a way to lose – just as they always do. QB…

49ers 10, Bears 6 You kind of knew this game was going to suck, so give Vernon Davis credit for trying to spice things up beforehand. Davis called out Chicago’s defense, saying that the 49ers were going to “destroy their front.” Davis didn’t do much in this contest (3 catches, 16 yards), but he definitely…

Chargers 42, Titans 17 People will look back at the 2009 Titans and ask how they failed to make the playoffs after going 13-3 the year before. What will be lost is that they actually did qualify for the postseason – they were just one-and-done with a 42-10 loss to the Chargers in Week 16….

Bengals 17, Ravens 14 It’s hard to believe, but the Bengals are 4-1 and have sole possession of first place in the AFC North. You have to give them a lot of credit for coming back from that fluke loss to the Broncos and reeling off four in a row. This is Cincinnati’s first four-game…
