Comments:
I'm not sure how much I believe the Seahawks at #2, but there's no discounting a dominating win over the 49ers, either.
Congradulations to the Bengals, for back-to-back winning seasons, and playoff appearances, for the first time since the 81-82 seasons.
The Vikings get a huge upset win, and have somehow clawed their way to a winning season. Adrian Peterson is a big reason, of course, but Christian Ponder has had a couple good games, too.
Adrian Peterson only got 86 yards rushing Sunday, which means he needs 102 yards to reach 2000, and 208 yards to break Eric Dickerson's record. AP ran for 210 yards when the Vikings played the Packers in week 13.
Calvin Johnson surpassed Jerry Rice's record for receiving yards in a season, and has a real shot to make it to 2000 next week.
Thanks to another 400+ yard game, the Saints' defense is within 281 yards of the '81 Colts record for most yards allowed in a season.
