Yeah, taunting and acting like a bozo should be reserved for Rivers, he's the worst. Thankfully, we haven't had to witness much of that this season.

So Seattle can't beat Cleveland but takes care of Baltimore.
Baltimore did have a bunch of turnovers, but Seattle really only got FG's on their red zone chances from those, or score could've been higher. Also, the most penalties the Seahawks took in a game in almost a decade.

Good defense, and Jackson is playing pretty efficiently.

The rest of the division also won, so Seattle is keeping pace.

Why is the Jets fan with the fire helmet so famous? Lame.

Sanchez stinks. The Jets defence covers up his ineptitude.

Yeah if you want to beat New England you still need an offence that can make some plays to put up points and keep the Patriots off the field. Jets gave New England too many chances to get their offence back on the field, and didn't do anything in the first half when the Patriots were a bit shaky.

Yup, and the worst of the Pats schedule is now over-

Funny how articles written this week about the Pats possibly missing the playoffs now seem ludicrous- not sure why everyone got all crazy this week. The losses to the Giants and Bills were razor thin, and it now looks like the jets have helped the pats work out the kinks in their offense.

Btw, whats the story with ochocinco? He makes 2 great plays in the first quarter for 65 yards and isnt thrown to again. I guess the hoody always wants his two tight ends always on the field (cant blame him) and prefers Branch to Ocho.... Or, ocho is being ocho behind the scenes and isnt being rewarded with time on the field.

Well the play Ocho Cinco made in the first quarter was a brilliant disguise with three receivers bunched up and than breaking off in different directions at the same time. Revis had to delay for Welker and the safety help wasn't there with Ocho. That play can work once, but you probably can't get away with it twice that successfully.

Someone in the AFC will claim the top seed and right now New England's still in the best position to do so. Houston is looking good too, I think they'll need to run the table though to beat New England out. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Well my favorite NFL team the Dallas Cowboys continued to show their MO of the last few years. They look some weeks like they couldn't beat an Arena football league team --the following week they look like they have all these talented players who are making plays all over the field.

Makes them entertaining at least as nobody knows what they will do in a game. Nobody as in the GM, the coaching staff, the players, the pundits or the fans.

I don't understand how you can only complete 2 passes and win a football game. Simply unbelievable.
That fact was commented on continually during the broadcast. I can't remember the name of the QB, who was with Buffalo in 1974, won a game without completing a pass. On the other side it was Joe Namath only completing two passes, so it must been in a blizzard or a monsoon.

Watching the game, I was disgusted with how Tebow and the Denver Broncos are completely #######izing (is that a word?) the QB position. What was even more frustrating was the fact that the Chiefs couldn't do a damn thing about it, with the Broncos using a third string RB to boot. (I can't count how many times over the years the Chiefs defense has made some 2nd or 3rd string RB for the Denver Broncos look like Barry Sanders, only to disappear from the face of the earth after lighting up the Chiefs.)

Tebow's TD pass was a thing of beauty. The color commentator said "just when you thought he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn". Pretty embarrassing day for a Chiefs fan. Oh well, I'm getting used to it.

Go Chiefs!

I'm quite sure that was a fluid gameplan and continued as long as it did simply because the Chiefs showed no signs whatsoever that they could stop the run.

John Fox is no idiot.

I guarantee you he's not planning to continue playing the exact same way. Somebody will be able to stop the run and he knows it.

The best part of all of this for me is how well the Broncos D has played the last 6 quarters. Astonishing stuff.

i am hoping Denver can take out the Jets on thursday, cant see Tebow doing much against the Jets though. although if the Denver D is looking good, i dont think Sanchez is anything special

No doubt, like I said, it was an embarrasing day to be a Chiefs fan.

Thats 1972 Miami Dolphins type opponent winning percentage.

Maybe the home game against the Tyler Palko lead Chiefs will end up being a trap game for the Patriots?

I just can't believe the entire NFC West won yesterday.
