The Indianapolis Colts aren't dead yet. Their defense came to play on Sunday, holding a vaunted Raider rushing attack to just 80 yards on the ground. 1000-yard rusher Darren McFadden was held to just 45 yards rushing with 26 coming on one carry. Even more impressive than their rush defense was their

The St. Louis Rams might just get in here. It wasn't pretty, however the Rams 25-17 victory against San Francisco puts them in position to get into the postseason with a repeat performance in Seattle next week. On an afternoon where the Rams' rushing game was nowhere to be found, rookie quarterback Sam Bradford put St. Louis on his shoulders. Completing 28 passes for 292 yards while staying interception-free for the sixth time this season, Sam Bradford showed yet again why he was the 2010 #1 overall pick. The Rams, at 7-8 from 1-15 a year ago, are by far the biggest surprise this season.
The Green Bay Packers are the real deal, believe it. Their 45-17 dismantling of the Giants on Sunday afternoon should serve notice to the rest of the NFC. They're going to hit the playoffs as the Wild Card team nobody wants any part of. The Packer defense forced six turnovers, a healthy Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown

THREE DOWN
The New York Jets continue their slide. Yes, they snuck in the back door of the AFC playoffs despite losing 38-34 in Chicago on Sunday afternoon. The supposed overpowering Jets defense is allowing 117 yards per game on the ground over the past four weeks.

The San Diego Chargers are yet again a disappointment. Norv Turner would be fired before weeks end if I had anything to say about it. While I don't, the Chargers should really start to think seriously about both head coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J. Smith. Why were both Marcus McNeil

The New York Giants are in danger. Could their playoff hopes have been extinguished by DeSean Jackson last week? Since their mid-season five game winning streak, the Giants have taken a tumble. Heading to Washington next week, the Giants have won just three of their last seven games including losses against playoff bound Green Bay and Philadelphia. Even more alarming should be the 83-points this Giants team has given up in their most recent two losses. The Giants secondary has allowed seven touchdowns over that time and is showing huge holes for good quarterbacks to pass through. The Giants rushing game has been very average and performances like running back Ahmad Bradshaw's 12 carry, 31 yard game is exactly why. After turning the ball over six times on Sunday, the Giants are not only going to have to beat Washington on the road but also wait for help from the Bears against Green Bay.
