Week 15 - Miami Dolphins

Between the horrible weather in many games this week and a few upsets, this week's football was very exciting to watch! I enjoyed watching a white screen all day that was called the Browns vs. Bills game, the extremely high gusts of wind in the Sunday night game, and many others. For upsets, I was shocked to see Dallas losing to Philadelphia and San Francisco winning their match against Cincinnati. The game that impressed me the most though was the Overtime win for Miami.

A few weeks ago, many people throughout the country were impressed with how Baltimore played against the New England Patriots. They had the game won until Brady and Co. were able to pull out a game-winning TD drive. This week, they lose to the winless Miami Dolphins? The win came from a 64-yard catch and run to Greg Camarillo in Overtime. The series before that, Matt Stover missed a 44-yard field goal that would have given Baltimore the win and kept Miami winless.

Cleo Lemon had a good day with 315 yards passing, 12 yards rushing, and 1 passing TD. His favorite receiver of the day was Greg Camarillo with 3 receptions, 109 yards, and that winning TD. Marty Booker also had a good day with 8 receptions and 88 yards. For the Miami rushing game, Samkon Gado was the lead rusher with 43 yards and 1 TD.

Congratulations to the Miami Dolphins for finally getting a win for the season!

Week 14 - Houston Texans

With wins, a bunch of teams won a playoff spot. Three out of the four divisions in the NFC and one team in the AFC have clinched their divisions and one team has guaranteed themselves at least a wild card spot. The team that did not win their game this week to clinch their division was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They had an extremely poor outing against the Houston Texans.

Yes, I said that Tampa lost to Houston. It was a game that I expected to be a blow out, but not with Houston on the winning end of it!

Both teams had a backup quarterback starting this week. Sage Rosenfels has proven to the league that he can play the game, and he did so again this week. He was 27/36 in passing, 209 yards and 3 TDs. He managed the game perfectly, and he did it against a tough defense. Andre Johnson was the top receiver for Houston with 9 catches for 82 yards and 1TD. The offensive stats for Tampa were similar, but their 2 offensive TDs were from runs by Earnest Graham. Graham had 61 yards rushing, 6 catches for 45 yards.

Houston was beat for penalties against, total yards, and time of possession. So, why did they win the game? When it counted, the Houston defense played solid. They were able to hold Tampa out of the end zone...something we all know is needed to win a game! The special teams also played well. Their highlight for the game was a 97-yard kick return by Andre Davis.

This week was the start of seeing who will make it to the playoffs, but the next couple weeks will determine the rest of the brackets!

Week 13 - Oakland Raiders

Many teams are starting to look at their records and are trying to determine what there odds are to make the playoffs. These teams know how important it is to win out the season, and they know any mistake can cause them to start booking early vacations! Unless a miracle happens, a team that lost last night and looks to be out of the playoff race is the Denver Broncos.

Going into the game, they were at 5-6 with a lot of other teams in the AFC, but losing to the Oakland Raiders did not help. The offensive statistics were decent, but not stellar, and the defense could not stop Oakland from scoring. Josh McCown had 141 yards passing and 3 TDs. The amazing stat that I saw was that the amazing Denver secondary did not have one interception on Oakland. The other big offensive player for the Raiders was Justin Fargas. He had 146 yards rushing, 2 receptions for 18 yards, and 1 TD.

Oakland is on a 2-game winning streak, but has a very difficult schedule coming up (Green Bay, Indianapolis). It looks like their winning streak was a little too early!
