    I also think the winner between Saints and Vikings will go to the superbowl and destroy the the AFC team. I think it is more likely Saints will win the first ever super ball. Indy just don't have any running game. Brady just looks rusty. The Bengals' stingy defense may repeat what the Ravens did a few years ago, but I'm not sure if they can stop the Vikings or the Saints's high power offense.

    I say if the Vikings make it, they will match up better against the AFC. Better well rounded team. Saints - still getting it done with pure offence. Once the playoffs start, defences will be tighter.

    AFC still has the edge this year though. Hoping the black and gold can squeeze into the playoffs and take it from there.

    Colts is it!

    Colts beat Titans 27-17, extend win streak to 21

    [​IMG] [​IMG] AP – Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning throws against the Tennessee Titans in the first quarter …



    By MICHAEL MAROT, AP Sports Writer Michael Marot, Ap Sports Writer – 20 mins ago
    INDIANAPOLIS – Peyton Manning changed the script for victory No. 21.
    It still worked.
    Instead of another patented comeback or another 300-yard day, the three-time MVP took control early and played keepaway from Tennessee, leading the Colts to a 27-17 victory for their 21st consecutive regular-season win. Only New England, from 2006-08, has won that many games in a row, and Indy can break the record at home next week against Denver.
    The victory also extended the Colts' league mark for most consecutive 12-win seasons to seven, ended the Titans' five-game winning streak and tied Indy with the 1990s San Francisco 49ers for most victories in a decade (113).
    But unlike November, when Indianapolis (12-0) needed five straight fourth-quarter rallies to keep winning, the Colts spent the second-half Sunday holding off the Titans (5-7).
    Chris Johnson became the second running back in franchise history with seven straight 100-yard games, joining Earl Campbell. He carried 27 times for 113 yards but failed to become the first player in league history with seven straight 125-yard games.
    Tennessee had chances. Twice in the second half, the Titans went for it on fourth down in the Colts' red zone and failed both times. Tennessee also recovered an onside kick after scoring a late TD, but turned the ball over on downs.
    That put Manning in ball-control mode during a rare second half in which the Colts managed only three points.
    It was that kind of day.
    Indy, which hasn't lost in the regular season since Oct. 27, 2008, at Tennessee, had its best rushing day of the season. Joseph Addai ran 21 times for a season-high 79 yards and two touchdowns. Manning was 24 of 37 for 270 yards and one TD, and Pierre Garcon caught six passes for a career-high 136 yards.
    But it was Manning's ability to use most of the clock in the fourth quarter that sealed the win.
    Manning took Indy on a 15-play, 7:23 second drive, setting up Matt Stover for a 36-yard field goal with 3:14 left to seal it.
    During the week, Manning said he wanted a fast start — and he wasted no time in making it happen.
    He opened the game by taking the Colts 75 yards in 1:58, giving the ball to Addai for an 8-yard TD run.
    After Tennessee got a 20--yard field goal from Rob Bironas, Manning took the Colts 77 yards in 3:56 with Addai scoring on a 1-yard run to make it 14-3.
    Then after failing to convert on Tennessee's first turnover, Manning took advantage of a second chance. Vince Young was picked off by Jacob Lacey with 5:43 left in the half and Manning responded with a 4-yard TD pass to Austin Collie for a 21-3 lead with 1:55 left in the half.
    Young finally got the Titans back into it with a 6-yard TD pass to Kenny Britt.
    But 20 seconds was too much time for Manning. The three-time MVP quickly got the Colts into field-goal range, thanks to a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on Tony Brown that moved the ball to the Titans 30. Addai's 5-yard run set up Stover for a 43-yard field goal to make it 24-10 at the half.

    Do the Packers have an elite defense? That was up for debate entering Monday night. Not anymore. Green Bay's D did plenty to prove its worth in a 27-14 win over Baltimore.

    I like that as well :cool:. I see they have drafted/added Beanie Wells (watching the Vikings game right now), another thing to like [​IMG]. Still want the Saint to go all the way though ;).

    "Percy Harvin was a running back at Florida. (blablabla) (something about) learning how to catch. He knows how to run" :D on Percy Harvin lining up in the backfield.

    Not so Super: Browns sack Steelers 13-6

    [​IMG]
    • [​IMG] AP – Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward walks off the field after a 13-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns …
    By TOM WITHERS, AP Sports Writer Tom Withers, Ap Sports Writer – Fri Dec 11, 7:26 am ET
    CLEVELAND – There's nothing Super about the Pittsburgh Steelers anymore.
    The defending NFL champions lost their fifth straight and had their playoff hopes thrown for a loss by the lowly Cleveland Browns, who ended a 12-game skid against their bitter rival by beating the Steelers 13-6 on Thursday night in subzero wind chills.
    Ben Roethlisberger was sacked eight times and lost for the first time in 11 career games against the Browns (2-11), who extended Pittsburgh's longest losing streak in six years and defeated the Steelers (6-7) at home for the first time since 2000.
    Pittsburgh is going to need help to make the playoffs, a stunning freefall for a team that hit the season's halfway point at 6-2.
    Unexpected losses to Kansas City, Oakland and Cleveland — three of the NFL's worst teams with a combined record of 9-28 — have pushed the Steelers to the brink.
    "To lose five straight coming off a Super Bowl from last year is embarrassing," wide receiver Hines Ward said. "There's nothing fun about losing games, especially five in a row. We're better than that. We should play better than that. With three games left, you're going to see who really wants to go out here and play for the pride of this organization and this city and who doesn't want to be around here."
    Chris Jennings, who began the season on Cleveland's practice squad, scored on a 10-yard run and Phil Dawson kicked a pair of 29-yard field goals for the Browns, who snapped a seven-game losing streak, a 10-game slide at home and beat the Steelers for just the second time in 20 games.
    Roethlisberger tried to rally the Steelers, but his fourth-down pass to Santonio Holmes with less than two minutes left was knocked down by linebacker David Bowens.
    When Holmes was tackled on a punt return and the final second ticked off the scoreboard's clock, frozen Browns fans, who were nearly outnumbered by Terrible Towel-waving Pittsburgh fans, danced in the aisles. Several Cleveland players sprinted down field and jumped into the Dawg Pound section to celebrate.
    "It means everything," Browns do-it-all wide receiver Josh Cribbs said. "There are a lot of Steelers fans around the city so I hope people go to work and kick those Steelers fans."
    The Steelers, whose defense lost some of its spirit and much of its toughness when Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu went down with a knee injury, left the field stunned.
    "Hurtful," Holmes said. "I never thought I'd be losing five games in a row. I know those guys will continue to fight these last three games. Hopefully, we can get back in the lab this summer, regroup and start all over."
    The win was just the second for Cleveland's embattled first-year coach Eric Mangini, who certainly helped his job security by beating Pittsburgh, something no Browns coach had done since Chris Palmer nine years ago.
    Cribbs rushed for 87 yards out of the wildcat formation, had 104 return yards and caught one pass for 9 yards. He picked up a big first down on a 14-yard run in the fourth quarter when the Browns were trying to milk the clock.
    Afterward, Cribbs soaked in his biggest win since turning pro. He knew the Steelers' 2 1/2-hour bus trip to Pennsylvania would not be pleasant.
    "They're going to hear that bus' engine all the way back," Cribbs said. "That's a lonely ride. I've ridden that ride for five years now. It's time for them to hear that engine all the way home while they look at the stat sheet."
    Needing a touchdown to tie, the Steelers got the ball back with 6:16 left at their own 21. Roethlisberger, who has broken Cleveland's hearts before, began working his team down field with short passes. But he was sacked at midfield in the final two minutes and had his final pass batted away.
    Brady Quinn, making his first career start against Pittsburgh, completed just one pass in the second half and finished 6 of 19 for 90 yards.
    Roethlisberger went 18 of 32 for 201 yards. He had trouble throwing in the swirling winds that consistently blew over 20 mph and the Steelers were never able to establish their running game against the Browns' defense, which came in ranked 32nd overall.
    Cleveland's defense dominated the first half, sacking Roethlisberger five times and pressuring him on nearly every snap.
    Jennings' 10-yard scamper around right end — the first TD scored by a Cleveland running back in more than a year — put the Browns up 13-0 late in the second quarter. With their defense stuffing the Steelers and the temperature dropping, the Browns' lead seemed insurmountable.
    But the Steelers drove 58 yards in 41 seconds and got a 27-yard field goal from Jeff Reed as time expired to close to 13-3 at halftime.
    Reed's second field goal with 8 seconds left in the third brought the Steelers within a touchdown.
    But Pittsburgh was unable to put together a scoring drive in the fourth, and now the Steelers find themselves in more trouble than they could have imagined.
    This is certainly not what Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin had in mind when he promised his team would "unleash hell" in December.
    "We've found new and different ways to not rise up at critical moments and we're losing football games because of it," Tomlin said. "This one happened in all three phases."
    NOTES: Ward played despite a hamstring injury and caught four passes for 21 yards. ... Holmes, the MVP in Pittsburgh's Super Bowl win over Arizona, surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in four seasons. ... Browns DE Robaire Smith injured his hip in the first half but returned. ... Jennings previously played for Montreal in the Canadian Football League. ... Cleveland's offensive line went sleeveless in the bone-chilling weather.

    Colts break records with 28-16 victory over Denver

    [​IMG]
    • [​IMG] AP – Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark, right, pulls in a pass for a touchdown in front of Denver …
    By MICHAEL MAROT, AP Sports Writer Michael Marot, Ap Sports Writer – 39 mins ago
    INDIANAPOLIS – Even Peyton Manning's inconsistency couldn't derail history for the Indianapolis Colts.
    Or preserve the NFL records of New England and San Francisco.
    Manning was sensational, throwing three TD passes in the first 23 minutes, then mediocre, getting picked off three times in the Colts' 28-16 victory over Denver for their 22nd consecutive regular-season win. While Manning struggled late, the defense held off the Broncos as Indy broke the Patriots' record victory streak set just last year.
    The Colts are one of seven NFL teams to go 13-0, including this year's New Orleans Saints. The 2005 Colts also were 13-0 before losing three of their last four, including a divisonal-round playoff game to Pittsburgh.
    "We knew we needed this game to solidify home-field advantage in the playoffs, and that's what we wanted," linebacker Clint Session said. "We feel we're our best in our home stadium, and we got the win."
    It was a remarkable day for Indy and Denver.
    While the Colts (13-0) won their 114th game of the decade, breaking a tie with the 1990s San Francisco 49ers, broke a franchise record 13th consecutive home game as they clinched home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs, Denver receiver Brandon Marshall broke the league's single-game record with 21 receptions.
    Marshall tied the record on a 5-yard TD catch with 9:44 left in the game to make it 21-16 and broke the record on the Broncos' final play.
    But Manning had answered Marshall's fourth-quarter score by leading a game-sealing drive, hooking up with Dallas Clark on a 1-yard TD catch — his third TD of the game — with 2:25 to go.
    "It does (feel good)," Session said. "I'm a part of history right now, so it feels real good. It's something we can tell our kids and grandkids that we did something no one else had done. It's definitely a great accomplishment."
    It was easily the strangest win in the Colts' streak.
    Manning led Indy to touchdowns on three of its first four drives, then somehow lost his touch. After completing 10 of 16 throws in the first quarter, Manning went just 6 of 22 over the next two-plus quarters, once missing nine of 10 passes while throwing all three interceptions. He hadn't throw as many picks in a game since having a career-high six at San Diego in November 2007.
    Yet the Colts continually made plays on defense to prevent Denver from ever taking the lead.
    "Well, we did recognize it in the locker room. When you go 22 in a row, that's difficult to do," said Jim Caldwell, who took over as coach from the retired Tony Dungy and has the best record for a rookie coach in NFL history. "It's built on the shoulders of several guys who aren't even in that locker room, Tony included."
    Dungy, now an analyst for NBC's Football Night in America, added:
    "When I first got into coaching, Coach Noll used to talk about three-game winning streaks being hard to do. So 22 straight is something that you think you will never see. It's a great credit to the entire organization and to the consistency of the players. I am proud to have been a part of it."
    Indy wasted no time in taking charge.
    Manning opened the game with a 5-yard TD pass to Austin Collie, ending a time consuming 80-yard drive. After a Denver three-and-out, Manning connected with Clark for a 10-yard score to make it 14-0.
    The Colts were just getting started. After they limited the Broncos' to 23 yards rushing on eight carries in the first quarter, Manning took the Colts 71 yards and hooked up with Clark for a 1-yard score to make it 21-0.
    That's when Denver ditched the running game and put the ball in Kyle Orton's hands. And Marshall's.
    Orton went to Marshall on six of the next 12 plays, finally hooking up for a 4-yard score to make it 21-7 at the half.
    But with Manning out of sync, Denver threatened.
    The Broncos got a 28-yard field goal from Matt Prater early in the fourth quarter to make it 21-10, and Marshall tied the receptions record to make it 21-16.
    When Indy stopped the Broncos' 2-point conversion, Manning finally righted things.
    "I thought Denver made some plays, and we had some bad luck with bouncing balls there," Manning said. "We kind of weathered the storm, and the defense did a great job. So it was kind of two different games in terms of momentum, but fortunately we finished on a high note."

    Colts : 14 - 0; perfetto

    14-0: Colts stay unbeaten with 35-31 win over Jags

    [​IMG]
    • [​IMG] AP – Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning (18) greets Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard …
    By MARK LONG, AP Sports Writer Mark Long, Ap Sports Writer – Fri Dec 18, 7:29 am ET
    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Peyton Manning completed every pass early and one big one late, exactly what the Indianapolis Colts needed to stay unbeaten.
    Manning threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns, including a 65-yarder to Reggie Wayne to go ahead for good, and the Colts beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-31 Thursday night to improve to 14-0 for the first time in franchise history.
    The wild game on a cool night included 714 yards, 43 first downs, 10 lead changes, six punts, several big plays and just two turnovers.
    "I thought today was a great test against a good team," Manning said. "Feel real good about the win."
    The Jaguars (7-7) had a chance to win it in the closing minutes, but David Garrard overthrew Mike Thomas on a third-and-10 play with about a minute to play. Jacob Lacey intercepted the ball, and the Colts ran out the clock.
    Indianapolis extended its NFL-record winning streak in the regular season to 23 and became the third 14-0 team in league history, joining the 1972 Miami Dolphins and 2007 New England Patriots. New Orleans can join the list with a victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night.
    Jacksonville lost for the third time in the four games and no longer controls its fate in the AFC wild-card race.
    They have Manning to thank for this one.
    He completed his first 13 passes and was nearly as efficient as he was in last year's game in Jacksonville, when he completed 17 in a row.
    Manning finished 23 of 30, picking apart Jacksonville's secondary early and often. Wayne caught five passes for 132 yards. Dallas Clark had seven receptions for 95 yards and two scores.
    The Jaguars, who have lost eight of 10 in the series, got in a shootout with Manning & Co., which turned out to be a huge mistake.
    Garrard was 23 of 40 for 223 yards with three touchdowns. Maurice Jones-Drew ran 27 times for 110 yards and a score. But once the Jaguars got behind and abandoned the running game, they had trouble sustaining drives.
    All that talk about Indy resting some of its key players turned out to be pretty just speculation. Sure, defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis played sparingly, but Manning, Wayne, Clark and the other stars played the entire game.
    And did most of the damage.
    The dagger came with 5:23 remaining, when Manning found Wayne streaking down the sideline for the 65-yarder. Safety Reggie Nelson seemed to bite on a pump fake, allowing Wayne to get behind the coverage. It was the biggest play in a second half that didn't quite live up to the opening 30 minutes.
    "Reggie just used his speed," Manning said. "What a great job once he caught the ball to get into the end zone."
    The first half was a back-and-forth affair that included 336 yards, 57 plays, 38 points, 23 first downs, one penalty, no turnovers and not a single punt. The half took a little more than an hour to play, so fast that the league's broadcast representative spent the final few minutes scrambling to plug in all the TV timeouts.
    Manning was perfect, completing 12 of 12 passes for 116 yards and had touchdown passes to Clark and Austin Collie. Clark made a sliding grab in the back of the end zone for a 6-yard score and a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter. Collie's catch, a 23-yarder on a seam route that he briefly bobbled at the goal line, put Indy ahead 21-17 with 35 seconds remaining.
    The Jaguars got in field-goal range just before halftime, but Josh Scobee came up well short on a 57-yard attempt.
    Jacksonville played a near perfect half on offense. Garrard completed 12 of 16 passes for 97 yards, and one of his best plays of the season resulted in a touchdown.
    He faked a handoff, rolled left on a bootleg, then spun around and headed across the field. Maurice Jones-Drew, who had been blocking on the play, released toward the end zone and Garrard lofted a perfect pass for the score.
    Jones-Drew, who averaged 69 yards rushing the last four games, ran 14 times for 73 yards in the first half. There had been rumors that 5-foot-7 dynamo was slowed by a sore knee. He looked fully healthy against Indy.

    Steelers beat Packers 37-36 on final play

    [​IMG]
    • [​IMG] AP – Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) scrambles 14-yards for a second-quarter touchdown against …
    By ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports Writer Alan Robinson, Ap Sports Writer – Sun Dec 20, 10:04 pm ET
    PITTSBURGH – Ben Roethlisberger throws to the corner of the end zone, the receiver barely gets his feet down inbounds for a remarkable touchdown. Ten months after winning the Super Bowl with just such an improbable play, the Pittsburgh Steelers possibly saved their season with a nearly identical one.
    Roethlisberger ended the game the way he started it by throwing a touchdown pass to Mike Wallace, a desperation 19-yarder on the final play that rallied Pittsburgh to a 37-36 victory over Green Bay on Sunday that ended the Packers' five-game winning streak and the Steelers' five-game losing streak.
    "The way the game ended was incredible, especially that last play," center Justin Hartwig said, comparing the play to Roethlisberger's 6-yard pass to Santonio Holmes that beat Arizona for the NFL title last season. "It was obviously pretty reminiscent of the Super Bowl."
    The Packers (9-5) stalled in their playoff run as they couldn't hold leads of 28-27 and 36-30 in a frantic fourth quarter that was much like Oakland's 27-23 win in Pittsburgh two weeks ago, when the lead changed hand five times in the final nine minutes. Green Bay could have secured a playoff spot with its first win in Pittsburgh since 1970 and a Giants loss or tie on Monday night but, instead, Minnesota clinched the NFC North with the Packers' loss.
    Roethlisberger went 29 of 46 with three TDs and 503 yards passing while becoming the first Steelers quarterback to throw for 500 yards in a game. He kept the Steelers' decisive 86-yard drive going by finding Santonio Holmes for 32 yards on a fourth-and-7 play and Heath Miller for 30 on third-and-15.
    Down to his last play, Roethlisberger found Wallace open in the left front corner of the end zone with Josh Bell in coverage. Wallace managed to keep both feet in on a play upheld by replay, and Jeff Reed — who also kicked three field goals — added the extra point.
    Roethlisberger broke the team record of 473 yards by Tommy Maddox during a 34-all tie against Atlanta in 2002. His yardage is a league season high; Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb threw for 450 against San Diego on Nov. 15.
    "The guys were coming back to the huddle worn out, linemen, receivers, everybody," Roethlisberger said. "We didn't quit. Everybody believed we could do it."
    Including Wallace, who made no other catches except for his touchdowns. Shortly before making his decisive catch, Wallace quickly went to the locker room to get stitches to close a gash on his knee.
    "It was kind of hard to run," Wallace said. "But that's just Ben. That's all I can say. That's just Ben."
    Asked if he had good coverage on the play, Bell said, "Not good enough."
    "You lose on a last-second play, with a spectacular throw and catch, it's tough," the Packers' Clay Matthews said. "Hindsight's always 20-20 but we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It was a dogfight."
    Wallace also caught a 60-yard scoring pass on Pittsburgh's first play of the game as Steelers (7-7) joined five other AFC teams tied at 7-7 in the chase for the AFC's last playoff spot — and just in time. One more play, and their season probably would have been over.
    "Not dead yet," coach Mike Tomlin said. "We've got a little pulse here."
    The Steelers have lost five times when ahead or tied in the fourth quarter, but they rallied this time during a final quarter that featured four lead changes and a failed Pittsburgh onside kick attempt with the Steelers ahead.
    Aaron Rodgers, who finished 26 of 48 for 383 yards and three touchdown passes and ran for another, threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to James Jones on third-and-14 with 2:06 remaining to put Green Bay up 36-30 after Pittsburgh gambled and failed on an onside kick.
    But the Steelers came back while outgaining the Packers 537-436 in a game that matched two of the NFL's top four defenses but turned into a passing duel almost from the start. Pittsburgh avoided becoming the first Super Bowl champion to lose six in a row the following season.
    It was a tense and discouraging finish for Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy, a Pittsburgh native who couldn't deliver the Packers' first victory in his hometown since shortly after the Vince Lombardi era ended. The Packers are 0-4 since winning there in 1970.
    "This is classic December football," McCarthy said. "It came down to the last play and we didn't get it done."
    The Packers trailed 7-0, 14-7, 21-14 and 27-21 as Roethlisberger also threw a 10-yard scoring pass to Mewelde Moore late in the second quarter that made it 21-14. Green Bay went ahead for the first time at 28-27 on Ryan Grant's 24-yard touchdown run halfway through the fourth quarter. Before that, Rodgers hit Greg Jennings on an 83-yard TD pass that tied it at 7 and scooted through the Steelers' surprised defense on a 14-yard TD run that made it 14-all.
    Pittsburgh later retook the lead on Reed's 43-yard field goal, his third of the game, with 3:58 remaining, but Tomlin — aggressively trying to shake his team out of a slide that was ruining their season — called for a surprise onside kick.
    "To be honest, we hadn't stopped them and they hadn't stopped us," Tomlin said.
    Ike Taylor fielded the ball before the kick bounced the required 10 yards, giving the Packers a huge break and the ball at Pittsburgh's 39-yard line. The Packers went on to score but, at the end, simply left their exhausted defense on the field one play too many.
    "Unfortunately, the last team with the ball would win," Rodgers said.
    The game was nearly devoid of running attempts — Grant ran for a team-high 37 yards for Green Bay, Rashard Mendenhall gained 38 for Pittsburgh — and featured nearly 900 yards passing.
    NOTES: A season after the Steelers beat San Diego in the first 11-10 game in NFL history, they won the first 37-36 game, according to STATS, LLC. ... Roethlisberger, Y.A. Tittle and Warren Moon are the only NFL quarterbacks to throw for at least 500 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. ... The Steelers are 5-2 against teams that are .500 or better but 2-4 against losing-record teams. ... Steelers long snapper Greg Warren apparently tore a knee ligament on the final extra point and is likely out for the season.
