The Sunday Blitz


Today started -- and ended -- with two unbeaten teams although their paths to get there were different. The Colts, who have tied the NFL record with their 21st consecutive regular-season victory, were in control of their game against the Titans from start to finish whereas the Saints needed overtime to beat the Redskins.
- Drew Bress passed for a season-high 419 yards against the Redskins, who entered the game with the second-ranked pass defense (170.4 ypg).
- When Peyton Manning threw his 25th touchdown, he became the first to ever throw 25 touchdowns for 12 consecutive seasons.
- Tennessee's Chris Johnson has now rushed for 100+ yards in seven consecutive games.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have now lost four straight games after a surprising come-from-behind victory for the Raiders. With 9 seconds to go, Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski (a Pittsburgh native) hit rookie Louis Murphy for the game-winning touchdown. The road to the playoffs for the defending Super Bowl champs (now 6-6) will be uphill from here.


The Texans, who had their first-ever 5-3 start this season, have now lost four straight games with today's loss to the Jaguars and coach Gary Kubiak's hot seat just got a few degrees hotter.

Today Bears receiver Devin Hester left the game in the third quarter with an injury to his calf. In the past two games, Hester has only one reception in each game and he hasn't scored a touchdown since week 7.

Two tight ends finished with 150+ receiving yards today. San Diego's Antonio Gates had eight catches for 167 yards and Dallas' Jason Witten had 14 receptions for 156 yards.

It's December and the Cowboys are now 0-1 as they lost to the Giants, who looked much better than they have over the past month and a half.
- Brandon Jacobs only had 39 rushing yards, but he finished with two touchdowns (one rushing and one receiving).
- Tony Romo threw 55 passes, of which he completed 41, for 392 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
Despite passing for a career-high 321 yards, Tampa Bay rookie quarterback Josh Freeman threw five interceptions in today's game against the Carolina Panthers.

In today's blowout win over the Falcons, Eagles QB Mike Vick scored two touchdowns (one rushing and one passing) in his return to Atlanta.


Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco's latest props for a TD celebration were a sombrero and a poncho.

Lions QB Matthew Stafford left the Bengals game in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury and his status is up in the air for week 14, per John Niyo of The Detroit News.

The duo of Bronco running backs Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter combined for 33 carries, 199 yards and two touchdowns against the Chiefs today.

After throwing only three interceptions in 11 games, Vikings QB Brett Favre threw two interceptions in tonight's loss to Arizona.
