Crazy Comeback

Kansas City Chiefs 10 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38

Another week gone by and another loss for the Kansas City Chiefs. With the loss of Matt Cassel to a head injury last week, the Chiefs started quarterback Brady Quinn on Sunday. This was Quinn’s first start in nearly three years; he threw for 180 yards and no touchdowns. He also had two interceptions in which one was taken to the house for a touchdown by Tampa Bay safety Ronde Barber. It was an all-around fall out for the Chiefs offense on Sunday, Jamal Charles only rushed for 40 yards on 12 carries and as I said before they had little support from the quarterback position. The Chiefs defense played descent and kept it close in the first half keeping the score 7-3 at halftime, but the second half was all Tampa Bay. The final score ended 38-10 in favor of Tampa Bay. It is pretty disappointing for the Chiefs, but they just have to keep on fighting and trying to get better. Anything can happen this season but they need to get it in gear to give themselves any kind of chance.

Tyler’s Player of the Game for Each Team

Tampa Bay-Former Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman had a pretty good game for his squad. He threw for 328 yards and 3 touchdowns to help his team get a victory.

Kansas City-This gets harder and harder every week, I suppose I will go with the Chiefs punt return team for giving us our only touchdown of the game off a blocked punt and a waltz into the end zone.

Oakland Raiders 20 Atlanta Falcons 23

The Atlanta Falcons swept the AFC West by defeating Oakland on Sunday. It was not as easy as some may have thought however, Oakland came out and gave Atlanta all they could handle. Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer helped his team with a solid performance at quarterback throwing for 353 yards and 1 touchdown and giving his team a 13-7 halftime lead. On the other side Matt Ryan was very shaky, I personally think this guy is the best quarterback in the league, he just wasn’t all their on Sunday throwing 3 interceptions in the game. He did however do what his team needed and got his kicker Matt Bryant in field goal range. With one second to go in the game and the score all tied at 20-20 Matt Bryant lined up a 55 yard field goal. He pushed all the pressure away and calmly knocked in the 55 yarder to give the Atlanta Falcons the 23-20 win and putting their record at 6-0 making them the only undefeated team in the NFL.

Atlanta-I will go the clutch kicker Matt Bryant knocking in a 55 yarder to give his team the win. He also made 41 and 20 yard field goals.

Oakland-Quarterback Carson Palmer played a good game that gave his team a chance to win, he threw for 353 yards and 1 touchdown. Unfortunately Oakland came up short and fell to 1-4 on the season.

Denver Broncos 35 San Diego Chargers 24

If you missed the Monday night game then you missed another Peyton comeback. The Chargers held a 24-0 lead going into halftime and I am sure half the viewers called it a night and went to sleep. Little did they know they would wake up and hear the Denver came back and won the game. In the first half it was all Chargers and it was looking as though Rivers was going to have a pretty good game, but it would appear the Broncos went into the locker room with the mindset of a 0-0 score. Manning and the Broncos came out and just punished the Chargers in every aspect of the game. Manning was spectacular throwing for 308 yards on 24-30 passing and 3 touchdowns, most of his stats came in the second half demolishment. Bronco defense also busted up the Chargers offense forcing 5 turnovers (3 interceptions by Rivers) and a punt in the second half. With the Broncos scoring 35 unanswered points in the second half it led to a 35-24 win and a tie in the AFC West with the Chargers, both are currently sitting at 3-3. It was great to see such a great comeback by Manning, this guy is a winner plan and simple.

Denver-Peyton Manning had himself another second half comeback to add to the many he has had in his career. Manning threw 3 touchdowns in the second half to help the Broncos overcome the 24-0 halftime deficit and get the win 35-24.

San Diego-I think I am going to have to set aside a Charger player of the game and give it to the Broncos defense that kept the Chargers out of the end zone the whole second half and also forced 6 Charger turnovers for the game.
