Comments:

  • Whether it's caused by his broken finger, or something else, Matt Stafford has developed a big problem passing. He had 4 interceptions in the first 7 games of the season, and now has 9 in the last 3.

  • The 49ers have been leaning pretty heavily on Frank Gore's running game. As demonstrated Thursday night, it gets pretty ugly for them when they face a defense that can shut him down.

  • You can add "injury prone" to Matt Leinart's woes. One of the reasons he lost the start to Kurt Warner in Arizona? He broke his collar bone 5 games into the 2007 season.

  • The good news for the Texans is that a win over the hapless Colts in week 16 will give them the tie-breaker over the second-place Titans. That, and one other win will get them to at least 10 wins, which is probably more than the Titans can surpass.

  • The other good news for the Texans is they do have 5 regular season games left to get whomever their quarterback is going to be up to speed and ready for the playoffs.

  • The playoff picture is starting to clear up, at least in the NFC. The Packers and 49ers have reached the win-and-in point (although the Packers need a win and help to clinch their division).

  • The Broncos now have a winning record. Say what you will about Tim Tebow, the Broncos are playing noticably better since they benched Kyle Orton. Attitude makes a difference.
