His 55-yard OT run to setup the game winning field goal and gave a few fans in Giant country a case of Thanksgiving indigestion.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the game: Denver\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s defense has now held six straight teams under 100 yards rushing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panthers 13 Bills 9<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Panthers shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to work so hard to beat the Bills. They are a paper tiger inflated by a weak NFC.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the game: Carolina converted 9 of 13 3rd downs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bengals 42 Ravens 29<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Ravens shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t score 29 on anyone. The Bengals defensive holes will keep them from winning in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the game: The Ravens running game came out of hibernation. Jamal Lewis had 113 yards and a TD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Titans 33 49ers 22<\/strong><br \/>\nMcNair still has some gas in the tank. He had 343 yards and three TDs.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the game: It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s doubtful that either team will win another game this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiefs 26 Patriots 16<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Chiefs are back in the playoff picture. Their biggest game of the year is Sunday against Denver.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: Brady threw four INTs. He had six entering the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikings 24 Browns 12<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Vikings are now 4-0 since Culpepper went down for the season.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: Five turnovers by Cleveland made things easy for the Vikings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bears 13 Tampa Bay 10<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Bears are the best team in the NFC right now. This was their seventh win in a row.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: Joey Galloway deserves to go to the Pro-Bowl. He had 7 catches for 138 yards Sunday. He now has 58 catches for 1,000 yards and 7 TDs this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chargers 23 Redskins 17<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Chargers are facing a difficult finish to the season. The may miss the playoffs despite being one the best teams in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: The Chargers won despite a \u00e2\u20ac\u201c3 in the turnover department.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rams 33 Texans 27<\/strong><br \/>\nRyan Fitzpatrick is a nice story for the Rams, but they shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find themselves down 24-3 to the Texans. This loss seals Dom Capers fate if it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a done deal before the game.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: The Texans will have the first pick in the 2006 draft.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dolphins 33 Raiders 21<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Raiders need someone who is willing and able to block. The Dolphins had 7 sacks and spent most of the day in the Raider backfield.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: Randy Moss had 3 catches for 28 yards continuing his uneventful season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jaguars 23 Cardinals 17<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Jags will have to go on without Byron Leftwich who broke his ankle Sunday. They may discover they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need him all that much.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: Backup QB David Garrard had 61 rushing yards; he gives the Jags another dimension at QB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eagles 19 Packers 14<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Eagles will take the win any way they can get it. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good thing because this game was a mess.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: The pathetic Packers turned it over 5 times on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seahawks 24 Giants 21<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Giants had an amazing 16 penalties including 11 false starts. This game will stick with them for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: Joe Jurevicius is still open. He had 8 grabs for 138 yards and two TDs against his former team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saints 21 Jets 19<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Jets showed signs of life, but it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t enough to win. The real question is will it be enough for Herman Edwards to keep his job.<\/p>\n<p>State of the Game: Mike Nugent missed a potential game-winning 53-yard field goal. The next big kick the 2nd-rounder makes will be his first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colts 26 Steelers 7 (Mon)<\/strong><br \/>\nMonday night was the Colt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most impressive victory thus far. The loss leaves Pittsburgh playing for their playoffs lives on Sunday against the Bengals.<\/p>\n<p>Stat of the Game: The Steelers were held to just 10 first downs and 197 yards of offense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Falcons 27 Lions 7 (Thurs.)
