Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 11:
Forget the percentages, the fourth-down call Bill Belichick made makes no sense to me. If you type my name into the search field on Pro-Football-Reference.com, you'll notice I've neither coached nor played in the NFL. So who cares what I think about ...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 11:
VY is just winning. Quick, name the top five winning quarterbacks drafted since 2000. They are Tom Brady (.775), Ben Roethlisberger (.713), Philip Rivers (.684), Vince Young (.653) and Kyle Orton (.643). I’ve certainly been critical of Young, ...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 11:
As Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. points out , Green Bay defensive coordinator Dom Capers would be wise to make Charles Woodson the Packers’ version of Troy Polamalu . We all know Woodson is a great cover man. But as the Packers move away from ...

No 'Sizzle' for Baltimore: The Baltimore Ravens have been inconsistent rushing the passer this season, and their defense will take another big blow without the services of Pro Bowl defensive end/linebacker Terrell Suggs Sunday against the ...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 11 in the Beast.
The Redskins have to do a better job against double moves. The Skins are coming off a nice win, but the secondary let Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall get deep on two touchdowns and he could have had another if not for a poorly ...

Will the Broncos be frisky this time around? The last time the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers met (Oct. 19 in San Diego), the Broncos insulted the Chargers by holding a team huddle near the Chargers’ pregame warm-ups. The Chargers took ...

Place in history. Another week, a shot at another milestone for the Saints, although they’ll need some help from the Colts on this one. If the Saints beat the Bucs and the Colts beat the Ravens, it would be only the third time in NFL history ...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 11:
Road sweet road for Arizona . The Cardinals play four of their next five games on the road, but no one is complaining. Arizona's 4-0 road record could realistically stretch to 7-1 or 8-0 within the next month. That would have seemed unfathomable ...

There’s an age-old theory in the NFL when it comes to left tackles. It’s pretty simple, really and it goes something like this: Every decade or so, you use a first-round draft pick on a left tackle. You throw him out and there and he anchors your offensive line for 10 or 12 ...

If the Colts win Sunday, they will be the 12th team (and the Saints could be the 13th) to start a season 10-0 since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970.
That would offer no guarantees about their potential for postseason success, however.
Only five of the 11 teams that have started 10-0 have gone ...

Everybody is singing the praises of Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams for his three-touchdown performance Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers .
Williams ran for 119 yards and two touchdowns and caught two passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. In his long and sometimes ...

How do the Denver Broncos regain their magic?
That question has been posed all week in the Rocky Mountains as the team is on the cusp of blowing a monumental lead in the AFC West.
The reeling Broncos somehow have to find the answer Sunday as they play host to San Diego in a matchup for ...

Perhaps no other division in the league has had higher-profile players with concussions this season than the NFC East. Pro Bowl running backs Brian Westbrook and Clinton Portis are recovering from concussions. Westbrook suffered two concussions in a three-week span but his prognosis is good, ...

The Miami Dolphins stayed in the playoff race Thursday night with a gritty performance to beat the Carolina Panthers 24-17 in Bank of America Stadium.
The season sure looked bleak for the Dolphins two months ago. They started 0-3. Quarterback and team MVP Chad Pennington was gone to a ...

You can’t blame Jake Delhomme for this one. Yes, he did throw on interception to end his streak of three games without an interception, but that one didn’t crush the Panthers. Overall, Delhomme was fairly efficient and Carolina also had a good night from the running game in ...

You can’t quite say the Carolina Panthers are done, but that’s mostly because six weeks remain in the season.
But the Panthers are very close to being done. Let’s do the math. They’re 4-6 and would pretty much have to run the table to have a real chance at a ...

In previewing Thursday night's game against the Carolina Panthers , I noted the Miami Dolphins would have to dig deep to win without star running back Ronnie Brown .
Little did we know they would have to dredge the depths of their roster to pull it off.
The raggedy Dolphins found a way ...

I said earlier I thought Vontae Davis had made a mistake by jawing with Steve Smith early in the game. The proof of that just came through as Smith beat Davis for a touchdown catch.
Did you see Smith’s initial reaction as he got up after the catch? He quickly looked for Davis and ...
