Before we crown the Broncos the next Super Bowl champions, let's remember they are facing a Giants team next week that was humiliated on national TV. Coughlin and his group are not happy about this and will want to redeem themselves.
However, Payton Manning was totally on fire with his 7 touchdown passes last Thursday, something that had not been done since 1969. Sid Luckman (Bears); Adrian Burk (Eagles); George Blanda (Oilers); Y.A. Tittle (Giants); and Joe Kapp (Vikings) are the only other players in the history of the NFL that have thrown for as many touchdowns in a single game.
Pittsburgh lost their starting all-star center Pouncey for the season with a torn knee ligament, which could show up the rest of the O-Line in the Steel City.
Are the Chargers really this porous? Can they not play for the full 60?
Dallas qb Romo bruised his ribs Sunday night; Dez Bryant sprained his foot. Both are saying they will play next Sunday at Kansas City.
Green Bay was unable to hold Colin Kaepernick, again, and allowed the 49ers to start off what could be another Super Bowl run, barring an injury to a main part of their team.
Now for a week 2 preview:
NY Jets visit New England on Thursday night. Both teams are undefeated, but the Patriots have won the last four meetings between these two teams.
Washington @ Green Bay on Sunday should show to be a real barn-burner. Both teams were in relatively close games in week 1 and fell short of their desired goal. The 2nd-year Griffin is facing an experienced Aaron Rodgers on what will be the frozen tundra at some point when the temps drop.
Tennessee @ Houston. Titans upset the Steelers in week 1 and no doubt have confidence from that victory, Houston has won the last two meetings between these two.
San Diego @ Philadelphia. If the Chargers D shows the lack of endurance they did on Monday night, this will be an Iggle blowout.
Denver @ NY Giants. These two teams don't meet often in New York, in fact they have only played there 5-times since 1972. The Broncos last win in New York against the Giants was in 1980. The Broncos rolled over Baltimore easily, while the Giants lost for the first time in Dallas' new stadium...this game could really go either way.
San Francisco @ Seattle. The new big rivalry in the NFL. San Francisco traveling 800-miles north to visit the beautiful Northwest, taking on their biggest nemesis from last year, and really the only challenge they have in their division.
Monday Night: Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati. This could prove to us the changing of the guard in the AFC Central. Baltimore is obviously struggling, Pittsburgh has some major injuries. Cincinnati is prime to take over. They're young, hungry, and healthy.
PIX: Shout-out to Darrell and Michael for leading the pack in PIX this week, with a 12-4 record.
