Week 8 NFL Recap

1. The New Orleans Saints Defense. Stat of the Week: The Saints have more defensive TDs (6) than the Browns do offensive TDs (5).
2. Denver losing. A Steelers win next week moves us into the #2 spot in the conference and in prime position to make a run at getting that post-season Bye.
3. Houston not choking against Buffalo.
4. Carolina’s running game. See what happens when Delhomme doesn’t throw?
5. Ted Ginn Jr carrying the Miami Dolphins over the Jets.

1. The Detroit-St. Louis game. Ouch.
2. Whatever is going on in Washington, D.C…and I don’t mean with the Healthcare Bill.
3. Green Bay’s offensive line. Wow are they horrible.
4. Everything about Oakland.
5. Kansas City can’t even catch a break on their bye week. Larry Johnson is a moron.
