NFL Week 12

Thanksgiving and NFL football - the most perfect combination in the world. I really enjoyed this year's Thanksgiving games. Dallas came within a field goal of beating the Super Bowl Champs, and New England embarassed Detroit in front of the Lions' home crowd (this isn't really a good thing, but at least it was good, exciting football).

The Steelers were nearly upset by the Buffalo Bills, but a Pittsburgh field goal in overtime ended the game.

The Vikings improved their record this weekend against Washington, but they're still third in the NFC North. Chicago, who leads their division, defeated the Eagles 31-26.



The Rams are still in contention for the #1 spot in the AFC West. They beat Denver on Sunday, and if the playoffs began today, they would be in.

Thankfully, the playoffs don't begin today, because if they did, Green Bay's season would be over. Following a 20-17 loss to Atlanta, the Packers are 7-4.

The game was close, and I mean very close. The Mighty Pack were down by a field goal with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. They marched up the field (with little help from Brandon Jackson) and scored the timely touchdown.

The Falcons then reached the 30 yard line, burned some clock, and kicked the field goal. The Packers couldn't do much with 19 seconds remaining, so Atlanta got the win.

Packer fans aren't the only ones suffering. Indianapolis was crushed by San Diego on Sunday Night, and the Arizona Cardinals - who competed in the Super Bowl two years ago - lost to San Fransisco. Their record is now 3-8, and they continue to suffer from their quarterback situation.

GO PACK GO!
