Let's start with the most exciting game of the week, and possibly the entire season thus far, with the Broncos barely edging out the Cowboys in Big D, 51-48. Both teams went back and fourth and Romo showed why the Cowboys gave him $50 million dollars having his best career game. Unfortunately for Tony Romo, Tony Romo showed up in the final minutes of the 4th quarter, and threw an interception, and the Cowboys watched the game slip out of their hands. Romo did have an excellent game with 502 pass yards, and 5 touchdowns, and even showed off his ability to escape pressure in the pocket. But not even 48 points can slow down Peyton "Fuckin" Manning, who is on pace right now to throw 64 touchdowns on the season. Peyton did throw his first pick of the year, but that didn't phase him one bit. The Broncos' defense bent and almost broke on multiple occasions, but in the absence of their 3 best players (Miller, Bailey, and Woodyard), they were still able to come up with a big stop when it mattered most. What a game, an instant classic, and I was glad to witness such a performance by both teams.
Elsewhere, the Saints remained undefeated, the Colts upset the Seahawks, the 49ers embarrassed the Texans, the Bengals stopped Brady and the Patriots, the Packers showed up against the Lions, Andy Reid and the Chiefs stayed unbeaten, and the Giants, wow, the Giants look incredibly bad, and are 0-5 in what may be Eli Manning's worst season as a pro. It looks like Tom Coughlin is on his way out, and this time he may have too big of a hole to dig himself out of. He's been there for 10 years, and has 2 Super Bowl rings, he's done enough for them, and should walk away instead of being forced out. Another surprisingly bad team has been the Atlanta Falcons. With so many big name free agents signed this offseason, Tony Gonzalez returned at a run to the Super Bowl, but the way they've been playing, they are looking at a run to the top of the draft. The season may slip away from them quicker than expected if they can't get their game together.
Josh Freeman signed with the Vikings, so expect the Vikings starting QB job to get a little interesting. The Browns and Dolphins have been a pleasant surprise, but there is still enough time in the year for them to sink or swim, pun intended.
So here we are, 5 weeks deep, and the NFL is going stronger than ever with at least 2 great games in each week. This is why the NFL is king and more popular than ever, great games, getting the fans more involved through fantasy, and showing a ton of love and support for breast cancer awareness! It's only going to get better folks, trust me!!
