NFL - Week 9 Quick Hits

NFL Season: Week 9
Winners, Losers, Quick Hits, & WTF!?








Winners
Steelers - Lots of doubters here, they marched into a very emotional setting, and were able to steal a victory from the Giants, and completely shutdown Eli Manning.

Bears - Their defense is scary. 5 Turnovers on the day (4 Fumbles caused by Tillman alone), and 2 Sacks. It's somewhat refreshing to see that a defense can still make such a huge impact. Oh yeah, Matt Forte & Brandon Marshall weren't so bad either.

Colts - Not only did they win, but this speech by Chuck Pagano should warm your heart. What a season these guys are having!


The real life Terminator is here.


Losers
Cowboys - Another game, another meltdown. You outplay the Falcons, and look to have that victory in sight, but then reality sets in. 80 yards to go, and you throw short passes. What?

Raiders - You just lost Darren McFadden, your other backup, and Carson Palmer still can't avoid throwing to the other team. Yikes.

Chiefs, Jaguars, Browns - You're without a doubt 'On the Clock', to not feature them in Prime Team any longer please.


Remember the hype? Neither do I.



Quick Hits
Phil Dawson was the sole offense for the Browns Sunday, connecting on 5 Field Goals.

Atlanta became the 15th team in League History to start 8-0. The last was the 2011 Packers, and we sort of remember what happened to them.

The Cardinals have now lost 5 straight, after starting 4-0.


Urlacher Pick Six, Guess He's not so washed up.



WTF!?
Your top QB & RB of the week? Rookies Andrew Luck & Doug Martin. Respectively, Luck threw for 433 Yards, and Martin rushed for 251 Yards.

Charles Tillman of the Bears forced four fumbles. FOUR!

The Colts improved to 5-3, and I pointed out last week that they have been outscored. Now that the Miami game is over, they are -32 differential, with the 9th best record in the NFL.



Doug Martin has been impressive to say the least.
