Week 13 in the NFL saw a variety of last second comebacks, including more “Jebus and Teebs” magic and a scare for the undefeated champs. Need to know more? Welcome to The Final Drive.
(7-5) Denver Broncos 35
(2-10) Minnesota Vikings 32
This is really starting to piss me off. Can’t SOMEONE knock this guy off the horse for ONE week? To be honest, this was probably Tebow’s best statistical game. He did complete 10 of his 15 passes. However, you can thank the defense for a timely turnover and Matt Prater for two clutch field goals. They are the real heroes.
(9-3) New England Patriots 31(0-12) Indianapolis Colts 24
I told you 20.5 points was too large a line! It was just begging to be betted on. Indianapolis played its best game in some time, out-gaining New England and controlling the ball. Unfortunately their two turnovers cost them this one, making their 21 fourth quarter points too little, too late.
(9-3) Pittsburgh Steelers 35(7-5) Cincinnati Bengals 7
Ow. That kinda hurt. After riding high with those “moral victories,” those pesky Bengals finally got put down by the cream of the AFC North. They might still get in for a wild card spot, but I don’t see them making much noise yet.
(12-0) Green Bay Packers 38(6-6) New York Giants 35
What a fantastic freaking game this was. Defenses were scarce aside from a few key plays, leaving these quarterbacks plenty of opportunities to light up the scoreboards. I don’t think I want to see what Tom Coughlin’s face looked like this morning. I swear that old man is so mad all the time his face probably takes 2-3 days to un-furiate.
(5-7) Arizona Cardinals 19(7-5) Dallas Cowboys 13
Freezing your own kicker is a fire-able offense. Jason Garrett should be ashamed of himself and his poor clock management. Somehow the Cardinals are 5-7. I don’t have an answer for that one right now.
(9-3) New Orleans Saints 31
(7-5) Detroit Lions 17
I don’t care how “talented” the Lions are, they’re still the most undisciplined team I’ve ever seen. When is “hard-liner” Jim Schwartz going to step in and punish his own players for the ridiculous and over-the-line shit they do? Brandon Pettigrew shoving a referee was beyond idiotic.
Another week down! Be back next weekend for more (hopefully) timely NFL analysis!
