What a weekend of NFL action. The last win-less team finally came out on top and there were blow-outs galore. Most of them were unexpected, to say the least. Without wasting any more time, here's the Final Drive of week 10 in the NFL!
(1-8) Buffalo Bills 14
(2-7) Detroit Lions 12
The Bills won't go win-less! YAY! Though if they win too many games they might not be able to draft a quarterback first overall and pay him over fifty million bucks. Think about it. On the other side, this was a horrid loss for the Lions, who could only put 12 points on one of the worst defenses in the league. Saddening.
(7-2) New York Jets 26
(3-6) Cleveland Browns 20
Alright, these Browns are legitimately decent. Their record may not show it, but they've managed to play evenly (or better than) some of the supposedly best teams in the league. Hand the reigns to Colt and let him ride. The Jets' ridiculous luck has to run out sometime... right?
(5-4) Miami Dolphins 29
(5-4) Tennessee Titans 17
Miami went through three quarterbacks and a glut of wildcat plays, but they managed to keep their season afloat with a win. How bad do you feel for Chad Pennington though? Dude gets injured on his first play. There should be some sort of rule about hitting back-ups right away. It's just sad when they go down.
(5-4) Jacksonville Jaguars 31
(4-5) Houston Texans 24
Houston is disappointing, but Jacksonville is a shocker. That final hail mary throw was nuts, but it doesn't take anything away from a great Jaguars win. More significantly, how far will the Texans fall? They're all but out of the AFC South race, so Gary Kubiak's job has to be in jeopardy.
(3-6) Denver Broncos 49
(5-4 Kansas City Chiefs 29
WHAAAAT? This along with the Cowboys' upset over the Giants account for the WTF moments of the weekend. We learned the Denver offense can still be potent and that Todd Haley is the sorest of losers. It makes for great division rivalries though, which can garner some attention for an AFC West that desperately needs some publicity.

(2-7) Dallas Cowboys 33
(6-3) New York Giants 20
You gotta feel bad for Wade Philips. The guy took it easy on the Cowboys, expecting grown professional athletes to take accountability for their play on the field, only to be fired and watch his replacement use some college football coaching tactics to get a win over a superior opponent. And where was all this down-field passing as they were losing three weeks ago? Still, let's not take too much away from one game. Jason Garrett has a long way to go before he can think about earning the head coaching job.
(7-2) New England Patriots 39
(6-3) Pittsburgh Steelers 26
Okay, I didn't see a Patriot explosion coming when I analyzed this one. Their short, precise passing attack tore the hyped Steeler defense apart. Bill Belichick didn't even try to run on the Steelers, which was more than fine with Tom Brady, who was more fired up than I have ever seen him. Now we hear that the Steelers are considering cutting douchey-kicker Jeff Reed. What a good day.
(6-3) Philadelphia Eagles 59
(4-5) Washington Redskins 28
Michael Vick JUST. WENT. OFF. Is anyone playing as good as he is right now AND winning at the same time? When the Eagles are healthy, they could have the best offense in the league and they showed it, lighting up the 'Skins defense. Oh yeah, Donovan McNabb also played like crap against his old team on a day when he got a (possibly) hefty contract extension. Irony much?
See you guys next weekend!
