Of course, that doesn't guarantee he'll get so much as a look next week. #JonasGray A little close for comfort, at least for Green Bay fans' taste. "What, we can't win every game 50-10?!" Pack faithful should be pleased as punch with , as Green Bay utilized aplenty -- something the team will need to do in January. It looked dicey there for a while, but you have to credit Denver for being clutch when the situation called for it. Offensively, the scored three straight fourth-quarter touchdowns, turning an 11-point deficit into an 11-point lead. Defensively, made every junior high coach in America proud with . The way runs -- and ran before getting injured -- I'm not convinced ever gets his job back. Despite their sterling record, the had to drop. If Arizona played Green Bay or Denver at the University of North Texas' field -- i.e., a neutral stadium -- I think the Cards would lose. has done a solid job (we're not gonna have a knee-jerk reaction to , even if Stanton was no bueno), but he's not at a level where he San Diego Padres Jersey doesn't need any help. The running game is averaging a robust 3.1 yards per carry -- . Didn't you get the feeling that if didn't deliver, a bunch of "Tony Chokemo" tweets would come to pa s, but if he did, the offensive line would get Kirby Yates Jersey all the credit? Of course, the Dallas quarterback did receive enough time to scan the field, decide between and learn how to say "single-high safety" in Spanish thanks to Rosetta Stone ... but still. Romo made pinpoint throws and avoided the happy feet that often come when a quarterback sits in the pocket for extended periods of time. Well, those who've said will give you an interception for every touchdown pa s he throws are looking prescient now. (Two more picks for the Sanchize .) But as long as the defense and special teams keep scoring -- and runs north-south -- well ... Slow going early on for the , who allowed five sacks in the first 30 minutes and took a 6-3 lead into halftime. But they cleaned things up after the break and . Must admit: 's emotional showing following the birth of his daughter touched this writer. #human Wow. What else do you say? Soon as I started using # Kingdom , . Of course, that shoddy run defense in the first half didn't help matters. Kansas City finally gave up a rushing touchdown -- two, in fact. At least the wide receivers made up for it by not scoring (again). Power Rankings side note: Heard , as did the rest of you, and it certainly struck me. You know, we wear the breast cancer awarene s pins here at the NFL offices, and players wear the pink gloves, hand towels, shoes, etc. But seeing a young man with this much potential learn of something like this at midseason really affected me. Of course, it's nothing compared to what those who love Berry are feeling. But I want to convey how much I hope Berry gets healthier, and right quick. While it's still worrisome that Seattle's offense relies so much on 's legs (over 70 yards rushing for the third straight week), that was . Is it fair to say the bully is back, fans? Or is that too fair weather? and the , with much help from the formerly ineffective defense, which has looked fantastic on . We should circle back to the " or " debate, which still doesn't look like a debate (not if you watch the games). . All the fans who have been lighting up the Power Rankings comment section saw why we had them around No. 8 or 9 for so long. Detroit has now lost two straight to top teams. Once again, looked mediocre -- although it would help if the receivers made some plays and could average so much as 3.5 yards per carry. Pittsburgh was off last week, but in the wake of , we heard about a billion people (including head coach ) say, "That's Steeler football." What is "that"? Apparently, it's Pittsburgh pounding the rock on the ground, with eclipsing 200 yards against the . Hold on, that's "Steeler football"? Riding the run game? This club hasn't been doing that for years. This season, Pittsburgh is 20th in run-pa s ratio, employing the ground attack just 40.5 percent of the time. Last year, they were 25th. The year before that: 21st. In fact, they haven't finished in the top 10 since 2010, and even then, they weren't one of the teams that ran it 50 percent of the time.

Give the a lot of credit for giving the all they could handle . showed fans what he can do when he plays with confidence and uses his legs. Taking a macro view here: If Tannehill can continue to improve, this is the only team in the AFC East that can challenge the for the next several years. Also, did you know that Tannehill was a wide receiver in college??? I've only heard it on every broadcast for the past three years, but in case you mi sed it ... on the road, with a big a sist from the Football Gods -- or, if you're not into such metaphysical things, . That was ... interesting. Hey, who wants to go back to this offense sans ? OK, cool. Major gut-check time for the ' defense after improbably . After made , tell me about 300,000 fans didn't freak out when it appeared for a split-second that Gilchrist was going to try to muster some kind of return. Guarantee you 299,998 of those fans all screamed the same two words: "GET DOWN!" Or maybe they said four words, with "get" and "down" still involved. There is no overstating the importance of .

Then, if Philly falls and Seattle loses that evening, the will only be two games back of the and one back of the . Bear in mind, Chicago owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over San Francisco. OK, so if I haven't lost you yet, the just really need to win Thursday. Glad we got that straight. Ble s 's heart -- he never saw . If I were a fan, I would have been nothing short of pi sed about that call on 's punt return. Obviously, St. Louis got it back deep in ' territory anyway, but what a huge turn of events during that sequence. There's not a fan or analyst around whom the haven't surprised in the past month. Clock specialists we're not, but any football observer knows -- or should know -- that the . needed to either a) conserve time to get closer or po sibly go for a go-ahead touchdown, or b) run the play clock down so as to not leave Cleveland any time. Run 20 more seconds off, and that would have been a completely different situation. Especially when you consider how bad kicker has been from 50-plus yards. Whether or not the end up winning the pathetic NFC South, showed what happens to that secondary when the pa s rush doesn't make it home. At least they made up for it by giving up a ton of yards after the catch. , but ultimately, 4-7 is exactly what this football team is. We are seeing signs -- signs -- from , but he's just not good enough yet to mitigate an average run game and mediocre defense. Nor is he good enough to lift from the ranks of movie mediocrity. The battled their rivals, but don't you think would like to have that one red-zone throw back? (You know .) Meanwhile, rivals Antonio Freeman's and among the best prime-time catches ever. It's a sad day in the NFL when a 3-7-1 team that has dropped five in a row still has a legit shot at capturing its division. Of course, that would hinge on Carolina winning roadies against and . The ' other games -- , and -- are certainly winnable. Merely a gue s, but I'm thinking the Bucs would like to play that third quarter over again. Three turnovers and 21 unanswered points by the other guys kinda spoiled 's return to Chicago. The crazy thing is that a win there would have put Tampa Bay right back in the thick of the NFC South race at 3-8. Crazy. Washington moves up because everyone else stinks more. On to the central topic in D.C. (other than immigration reform): Generally speaking, when a quarterback plays for a while, he begins to have pocket presence -- feels the pre sure from the backside, makes the proper drop, steps into throws. fans, which of these is doing well right now? Taking a (very) informal Power Rankings poll . Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! Sorry, Power Rankings faithful, but I've been looking for an excuse to move the up for some time now. How about ?! How about ?! And how about getting to write something positive in this space for a change?! Tell you what, Murray's runs looked like the scampers of another, . What nice vision -- and what a fine cut -- on . That hole was almost as much of a double-trailer wide opening as the spaces DeMarco gets to run through. Would it be po sible for that offensive line and to deliver a 100-yard game on the ground? At this point, it seems we're more likely to see LenDale White come back out of retirement without the cookie belly than we are to see Sankey rush for even 80. As we detailed , the would be wise to give their young developmental quarterback a tinge of help. #pleaseandthankyou Sure am glad I didn't have to do the NFL NOW grade for the this week.
