Surprising results:
Pats 17-27 Colts. Seems like the Pats kinda bungled every second of this game. When the Colts run the ball, they're pretty damn good (and when they don't run the ball, you just sit there wondering why they're not running more).
Titans 13-19 Steelers. How do the Steelers win games? I've watched them way more than I want to this year and I am convinced they actually suck pretty bad...so how did they win this game? (Still trying to figure out how they beat the Bills way back in Week One). The Titans can be good or they can suck, they're as Jekyll/Hyde as any team in the league.
Saints 9-0 Bucs. Wow, the Saints D stuffed everything the Bucs tried to do (did you realize that Tom Brady is 0-4 against the Saints since getting to Tampa Bay?) and even injured most of the Bucs' best offensive weapons. Dang, man, if the Saints played like this all the time...oh yeah, their QB is Taysom Hill...okay, forget all that.
Unsurprising results:
Chiefs 34-28 Chargers. Fun game, back and forth crazy action, a good ol' fashioned shootout game. The Chiefs are still (and always have been) the team to beat in the AFC. The Chargers are ferocious when they put it all together, but they don't do that nearly enough. Also, going for it on 4th down EVERY TIME is not really a winning strategy.
Panthers 14-31 Bills. The Bills desperately needed a get-right game and Carolina gave it to them.
Cards 12-30 Lions. No, I was not surprised by this. Remember: the Lions play well against good teams (re: teams that take them lightly) and get destroyed by mediocre teams (re: teams that desperately need to win games). Take heart, Cards fans, this is the best possible reminder that you've got a good team.
Jets 24-31 Dolphins. Yeah, that's about right.
Cowboys 21-6 Giants. Oh, man, the Giants are painful to watch. The Cowboys did not play particularly well in this match and still cruised easily to victory.
Texans 30-16 Jags. The Jags are the worst team in the league. The Texans saw their last best chance at getting a W and they took it (good for them).
Bengals 15-10 Broncos. Awkward game for the most part, two so-so teams struggling to get some kind of advantage. The Bengals are the slightly better team and this score was pretty accurate.
Falcons 13-31 Niners. The Niners have been getting into a groove and this was a tasty W for them. The Falcons actually play really well on the road, thought they might put up more of a fight.
Packers 31-30 Ravens. The Ravens went for a 2-point conversion on the last play of the game (for the second week in a row) and (for the second in a row) it didn't work. Hey, I get it: you can play ten more minutes of football or you can win it on one play, I'd take the one play every time, too. Clearly, though, they need to get better at 2-point conversions--don't be shocked if they have at least one more of these this season! The Packers still have yet to play a complete game but they're still winning, so I guess it doesn't matter.
Raiders 16-14 Browns. Tough L for the Browns, nice W for the Raiders.
Vikings 17-9 Bears. The Bears are hard to watch, I'm still in on Justin Fields--he's got skills and he'll be better next year--but for now, yeah, they're hard to watch. The Vikings, man....the Vikings...they're just...*phew*....the Vikings.
Seahawks 10-20 Rams. NFC West is always a rock fight, underdog didn't come through in this one, though.
WTF 17-27 Eagles. Meh.
