Just a few months ago, the New York Giants were boasting a 5-0 record and sitting atop first place in the NFC East.á It's amazing how quickly a season can go miserably down the toilet. The Giants finished up their season Sunday with a half-hearted butt-kicking at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings, 44-7.á Today's game, of course, was just a formality: The Vikings were already in the playoffs with a bye, while ...

The Kansas City Chiefs went into Denver this weekend to battle a Broncos team needing a win to secure a playoff berth. The Broncos didn't get it.á The Chiefs' 44-24 win on Sunday was the franchise's first in Denver in eight years, and the first time they haveáever won at Invesco Field at Mile High.á The Chiefs continued to do what they've done well in recent weeks, they handed the ball to ...

It would be easy for the Dallas Cowboys to swagger after making history with its first-ever back-to-back shutouts. Especially when the second victim was the Philadelphia Eagles, who haven't been shut out since 2005. And especially since this shutout gives the Cowboys the NFC East title. After all, Dallas' defense is playing very well and Tony Romoùoften ridiculed for being unable to win the crucial gamesùthrew for 311 yards, two touchdown ...

Wes Welker is feared to have torn his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee today. As I watched him being taken off the field by the cart of doom, I couldnÆt help but think what if that had been Peyton Manning. All week long I have had to listen to commentators and fans bemoan the fact that the Colts organization pulled the starters in the third quarter of last weekÆs ...

The 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers, marred by inconsistency, were officially eliminated from the 2009 playoff chase after JaMarcus Russell came into the game for the Oakland Raiders in their game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 30-24 win against the tough Miami Dolphins was not enough as the Steelers needed too much outside intervention to play next week. Still, the Steelers have no one to blame but themselves. If they had held ...

With their Mile High Magic and Mile High Mystique, the Denver Broncos were once a franchise synonymous with winning seasons and respect in the AFC. Those days feel farther away than ever in the Mile High City. For the fourth straight year, the Broncos have gone home following their 16 game regular season. For the third straight year they have failed to pass eight wins. And, for the second straight year, they have ...

With a disappointing 2009 season in the bag for the Denver Broncos, one thing is certain about playing at 5,280 feet above sea level: it's no longer an obstacle for opponents. Growing up in Oklahoma, I remember watching the Broncos on television about every two weeks, knowing for sure that if they were playing in Denver, then you might as well hand them the victory ahead of time. Living in ...

I think it's time I issued an apology, and I'm really hoping a vast majority of Colts' fans join me. The Colts did the right thing last week. Like many fans, I was disappointed the Colts didn't pursue perfection against the Jets. I was particularly worried about how badly the Colts played once Peyton Manning was pulled. But my initial reaction was based mostly on emotion. Isn't that usually how a fan reacts? ...
