Atlanta tight end Jacob Tamme led the team in receiving against Minnesota. He caught five passes for 69 yards with his longest catch being a 22-yard pass.

The Vikings looked like they were back on track because they have Adrian Peterson looking like himself again. Earlier in the season he looked slower and was getting shut down easier. In this game, he was a completely new person and he accounted for 43% of the Vikings’ total yards. While their hard work paid off, loss on the Packers certainly helped too.

The Cincinnati Bengals beat down the St. Louis Rams 31-7 on Sunday, Nov. 29 at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals have improved to 9-2 and are still first in their division, AFC North. The Rams have fallen to 4-7 and remain in third place in NFC West.

Kenny Britt led the Rams in receiving. Britt caught six passes for a total of 63 yards with his longest reception of the day from an 18-yard pass.

The Bengals looked back on track this game. They went through a brief slump, losing to the Texans and Cardinals in back-to-back games. But they played like themselves again. The Rams just came off a sloppy win to the Ravens. That game was BAD. It was painful to watch and it seemed to just lag on. The Bengals have a good shot in the playoffs. With so much talent on this Rams roster, it’s hard to believe their record.

J.J. Watt and the Houston Texans dominated Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints 24-6 at the NRG Houston Stadium on Sunday. The Texans have improved to 6-5 on the season, and are second in the AFC South division. New Orleans has dropped to 4-7 and is currently fourth in their division, NFC South.

Tight end Benjamin Watson led the Saints in receiving against Houston this game. Watson caught four passes for a total of 53 yards. His longest catch was a 26-yard pass.

The Texans had momentum on their side. Victories from two previous games, most notably against the Bengals, who were looking for a perfect record, provided this team with confidence. The Saints have been really struggling lately. They had a series of wins against the Falcons, Colts and Giants. But after that, they have had a losing streak.

Matt Hasselbeck and the Indianapolis Colts beat Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 25-12 on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Colts advanced to an overall record of 6-5 and remain in first place in their division, AFC South. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay has fallen to 5-6 and are in third place in NFC South.

Vincent Jackson led Tampa Bay in receiving and hauled in four catches for a total of 76 yards. His longest reception was a 21-yard pass.

Coming into the game, the Buccaneers looked hot. In the previous game, they crushed Philadelphia 45-17 and Doug Martin was running circles around their defense. The Colts looked more functional this time, even without Luck, and Matt Hasselbeck really stepped up.

Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers beat Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-25 on Sunday at EverBank field in Jacksonville. The Chargers record now stands at 3-8 and they are fourth in AFC West. The Jaguars have slipped to 4-7 and are now in third place in AFC South.

Former Bronco tight end, Julius Thomas, led the team in receiving against the Chargers. Thomas caught nine passes that game for a total of 116 yards. He had one touchdown, and his longest reception was 34 yards.

The Jaguars were favored coming into this game, but Philip Rivers and the Charger stepped up. Despite missing Keenan Allen, Rivers found his groove, and carved through the Jacksonville defense.

Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs beat Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills 30-22 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. The Chiefs advanced to 6-5 and are now second in AFC West. The Bills have fallen to 5-6 and are third in AFC East.

Sammy Watkins led the Bills in receiving. Watkins caught the ball six times for a total of 158 yards. He had two touchdowns, and his longest reception was 48 yards.

The Chiefs looked more relaxed and in better sync this game. Alex Smith was able to spread the ball out. While having Jamaal Charles would be a huge plus, this team had a good day on the ground thanks to Spencer Ware. As for the Bills, Rex Ryan may not be their “savior” but he’s all they’ve got right now.

defRyan Fitzpatrick and the New York Jets beat Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins 38-20 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. The Jets advanced to an overall record of 6-5 and are in second place in AFC East while the Dolphins slipped to 4-7 are in fourth place in AFC East.

Former LSU Tiger, Jarvis Landry, led the team in receiving. Landry caught 13 passes, amassing a total of 165 yards. He had one touchdown on the day with his longest reception a 40-yard catch.

The Dolphins are looking worse and worse. The absence of Cameron Wake was definitely felt as Fitzpatrick went untouched the whole game. Fitzpatrick seems to be getting a groove in New York for he has struggled much more with other teams in the past.

The Jets are in second place in AFC East. Now who ever thought they’d read that?

Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders beat Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans 24-21 on Sunday at Nissan Stadium. The Raiders have improved to a record of 5-6, and are now in third place for their division, AFC West. On the other hand, Tennessee has fallen to 2-9 and are now in fourth place in AFC South.

Former San Francisco tight end, Delanie Walker, led the team in receiving against Oakland. He caught six passes for a total of 91 yards with his longest reception a 36-yard catch.

Oakland had a slow start to the game and the defense gave up some big plays. However, once they settled down, they got back in their groove. When provided with the right protection, Carr can be outstanding. The offensive line did a good job of protecting him. Khalil Mack also lent a big helping hand, sacking Mariota twice.

Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins upset Eli Manning and the Giants 20-14 on Sunday at FedEx Field. After beating their division rival, the Redskins sit at 5-6 and are in first place, NFC East while the Giants have slipped to 5-6 and are now in second place in the division.

Eli Manning threw for 321 yards, completing 26 out of 51 passes. Manning had two touchdown passes and three interceptions on the day.

Former Patriot, Shane Vereen, led New York in rushing, which was not much. Vereen carried the ball twice for just 15 yards with his longest run of the day at 8 yards.

Odell Beckham Jr. was New York’s leading receiver, catching nine passes for a total of 142 yards. He had one touchdown on the day with his longest reception a 31-yard catch.

Tight end Jordan Reed led the team in receiving against New York. Reed caught eight passes for a total of 98 yards. His longest reception of the day was a 26-yard catch.

New York looked like they were the ones to take the NFC East Crown; however, their production was limited thanks to a strong Washington defense. Kirk Cousin was also on point this game, missing only nine passes the entire game. He should smash the Cowboys on Monday.

Carson Palmer and the Arizona Cardinals beat Blaine Gabbert and the San Francisco 49ers 19-13 at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. The Cardinals have improved to 9-2 and are in first place in NFC West while the 49ers have fallen to 3-8 and are in fourth place in the same division.

Anquan Boldin led the 49ers in receiving that game catching eight passes for 93 yards. His longest reception of the game was an 18-yard catch.

The Cardinals still sit at the top, but they really struggled. The number one scoring offense in the league was held to just 19 points. Penalties definitely killed the 49ers in this game, as they provided over 80 yards in penalties. Blaine Gabbert is looking good and seems to be the temporary answer for San Francisco.

Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks beat Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburg Steelers 39-30 at CenturyLink Field on Sunday. Seattle has improved their record to 6-5 and are second in NFC West. The Steelers have fallen to 6-5 and are in second place in AFC North.

Markus Wheaton was Pittsburg’s number one receiver this game. Wheaton caught nine passes for 201 yards and had one 69-yard touchdown, which was also his longest reception of the game.

The Pittsburg Steelers lost Big Ben to a concussion but he played very well overall. This game was mostly an offensive battle, since apparently none of theses defenses could hold down the other team’s offense.

Brock Osweiler beat Tom Brady and the mighty Patriots 30-24 in overtime at Sports Authority Field Sunday night. The Broncos have improved to 9-2 and are in first place in their division, AFC West. New England’s perfect season has been ended and they are currently at 10-1.

Next Sunday, the Broncos, currently at 3-8, will play the San Diego Chargers who are are also in AFC West. The Patriots will also play the Philadelphia Eagles, who are at 4-7 this season.

C.J. Anderson led the Broncos in rushing and also scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime. Anderson carried the ball 15 times for a total of 115 yards. He had two touchdowns on the night with his longest carry of the night a 48-yard touchdown run in overtime, winning Denver the game.

Emmanuel Sanders led Denver in receiving that game catching six passes for 113 yards. His longest reception was a 39-yard catch.

The Broncos did, and they did it without Peyton Manning. While Brock Osweiler, who had a good game, is looking like a star, Peyton is starting to fade. Something tells me he won’t be wearing fire orange next year. He might not even be wearing pads and a helmet. Anyway, Tom Brady lost weapons on offense.

Julian Edelman is already out with a broken foot and Danny Amendola is out, too. They also just lost their biggest weapon on offense, Gronk. After a knee injury, he was carted off the field. It’ll be interesting to see how the Patriots fare without those three big names suited up.

Monday night, Matt Schaub and the Baltimore Ravens defeated Josh McCown and the Cleveland Browns 33-27 at FirstEnergy Stadium. The Ravens overall record has improved to 4-7 while Cleveland has fallen to 2-9. Baltimore is currently third in AFC North, while the Browns remain in fourth place.

Javorius Allen was Baltimore’s leading rusher that game. Allen carried the ball 12 times for a total of 55 yards with his longest carry of the game a 21-yard run.

Kamar Alken was Schaub’s number one target for the night catching six passes for a total of 80 yards. He had one touchdown with his longest reception of the game a 27-yard catch.

Josh McCown, who was played in favor of Johnny Manziel, threw for 212 yards on the night. He completed 21 out of 38 passes and had one touchdown.

Former Hurricane, Duke Johnson, led the Browns in rushing. Johnson ran the ball seven times for just 27 yards with his longest run at seven yards.

Tight end Garry Barnidge led the team in receiving. Barnidge caught seven passes for a total of 91 yards with his longest reception of the night a 30-yard catch.

Cleveland had everything going right for them. They did a pretty good job of holding down the Baltimore offense and I figured they’d pull through on this one.

The defensive line was a nightmare for Matt Schaub, but while they were attempting to do a last second field goal to win the game, everything went to the wrong way. The kick was blocked as Baltimore’s Will Hill scooped the ball and ran it back for a 64-yard touchdown. Ouch.

Maybe they should’ve just gone into overtime, and beat the Ravens there. But that’s the past. It’s going to be a long week for Browns fans.
