Denver Broncos 17
Kansas City Chiefs 9
Ryan Succop was the only one who could get points on the
board for the Chiefs Sunday. During the early part of the game they were moving
the ball very well into Denver territory but they just couldn’t find the end
zone to save their lives. The running game was clicking very well with Jamal
Charles rushing for 107 yards in the game. The offensive line looked a lot
better than have in the past few games. Quarterback Brady Quinn passed for 126
yards and had zero touchdowns and one interception, he is yet to find a groove.
The Chiefs defense impressed greatly holding a high powered offensive to only
17 points and keeping the Chiefs in contention for most of the game, but a late
touchdown by Denver quarterback Peyton Manning helped give the Broncos the win
on Sunday and take a commanding division lead.
Players of the Game for Each Team
Denver-Peyton Manning impressed as he has been doing
all season, he threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns.
Kansas City-Running back Jamal Charles had a good
game rushing, he rushed 23 times for 107 yards, just wasn’t able to find the
end zone unfortunately.
Cincinnati Bengals 34
Oakland Raiders 10
The Oakland Raiders dropped another game on Sunday when they
fell to the Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton had a very nice
game throwing for 210 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions. The Bengals
also had a very good day on the ground, running back Green-Ellis rushed for 129
yards and had one touchdown. It was a very solid performance for the Bengals
who have won three games in a row. Carson Palmer had a dreadful day against his
old team, he threw for 146 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The
Bengals are in a tough division but if they keep playing like they have been
the last few weeks then they will definitely be a team to watch out for during
the last two weeks of the season.
Players of the Game for Each Team
Cincinnati-Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has earned
my player of the game honors. This kid threw three touchdowns and had over 200
yards passing to help his team get the victory.
Oakland-It is too hard to find someone on the Oakland
team who deserves this award so I will just give kudos to Bengals running back
Green-Ellis for rushing for 129 yards and one touchdown.
Baltimore Ravens 16
San Diego Chargers 13 OT
It was a nail biter of a game between the Baltimore Ravens
and the San Diego Chargers. Baltimore was trailing 13-3 with about eight
minutes left in the 4th quarter. Very big plays down the stretch by
quarterback Joe Flacco and a 29 yard pass play on 4th down to running
back Ray Rice helped the Ravens force overtime against the Chargers. Justin
Tuck made a 38 yard field goal in overtime to give the Ravens the win and a
solid strangle hold on the division. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw for
355 yards and had one touchdown and Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers threw
for 228 yards and one touchdown. The defenses for both teams did very well
getting to the quarterbacks. Joe Flacco was sacked five times and Phillip
Rivers was sacked six times. This was a very good game between both teams that
could have gone either way, the Ravens just made the bigger plays in the end to
get the W.
Players of the Game for Each Team
Ravens-Quarterback Joe Flacco had an outstanding
performance passing for 355 yards and one touchdown and leading his team to
game tying and game winning drives.
Chargers-Phillip Rivers did his best to get his team
the win with his 228 yard passing performance, however it was just not enough
to overcome the tough game that the Ravens brought to the table.
