– Everyone talks about how Tony Romo has energized the Dallas Cowboys, but look at what rookie Vince Young is doing in Tennessee. Young isn’t overly impressive, but his leadership and demeanor in games have his teammates believing. Despite throwing two interceptions, Young threw two touchdowns in an impressive 20-17 upset win over the Colts. What happened to the Joseph Addai who scored four times last week vs. the Eagles? Addai was held to 56 yards while Peyton Manning threw two interceptions despite passing for 351 yards. I think
this game speaks more about the overachieving Titans than of the underachieving Colts, however.
– The score was close, but San Diego’s 24-21 win over the Bills was still impressive to me. For one, the Bills have played very well of late and it’s always tough for a team to go into Buffalo in December and win. Congratulations to the best player in the league, LaDainian Tomlinson, who now joins Eric Dickerson as the second player to reach 1,200 yards rushing in each of his first six NFL seasons. And where the hell did Peerless Price come from? The guy has made tiptoe touchdown grabs along the sideline in back-to-back weeks now.
– Listen closely to this, because it’s a bit shocking. Derek Anderson beat Kansas City on Sunday, the same Chiefs that have won two straight and are right in the middle of the AFC playoff picture. Anderson was damn near great replacing injured starter Charlie Frye and leading the Browns to a 31-28 overtime victory. He threw for 171 yards and two touchdowns as well as scrambled for 33 yards on a second and 15 in overtime to set up Phil Dawson’s game winning field goal. It should be noted that a KC defender rocked Anderson on the scramble, yet Anderson rolled off the player and picked up an additional seven yards. Gutsy performance by the young man from Oregon State.
