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.
