The Bills behind the power of Freddie Jackson beat the dream team Philadelphia Eagles and now the dream is over and once again Eagle fans are living a nightmare as Freddie Jackson carried the rock 26 times for 111 yards and catch it 6 times for 85 yards including a dump off pass from Fitzpatrick that went 49 yards which lead to the Bills going up 14-7 and never looked back. While for the Eagles it was Michael Vick show and it had worse ratings than the Playboy club as he throw 3 interceptions in the first half and with just over two minutes left he throw his fourth of the game which is a Vick record and the Bills held on for a 31-24 win to go to 4 and 1 while the Eagles are 1 and 4 (remember these are the fans who booed Santa).
The Oakland Raiders won one for Al Davis as they stuck with the Texans and took a 25-17 lead with 11 and half minutes left in the game and held on as the Texans tried to storm back as they got a field goal with just less than 10 minutes left and had a chance to win the game as Matt Schaub had one last shot to get into the end zone on the Raiders 5-yard line with 6 seconds left but instead the Raiders Michael Huff intercepted it and end the game. The Texans could not run on the Raiders D as Adrian Foster ran 22 for 68 yards but Matt Schaub could put up yards through the air as he went 24 for 51 for 416 yards and 2 TDs to with 2 INTs while both Adrian Foster (5 catches for 116 with his long 60 yards) and Joel Dreessen (5 catches for 112 yards with a long of 56 yards) went over a 100 yards through the air and Schaub had three passes for over 40 yards in the game. The Raiders were helped by kick returner Jacoby Ford who had 3 returns for 93 yards including a 45 yard return and Sebastian Janikowski went 4 for 4 kicking field goals and had a long of 55 yards while Jason Campbell throw for 190 yards and 2 TDs and an interception and the running game lead by Darren McFadden (16 for 51) only had 94 yards on the ground.
The Minnesota Vikings kept it simply as they just kept it on the ground and AP (Adrian Peterson) just ran over the Kansas City Chiefs as he carried the rock 29 times for 122 and three TDs and all in the first quarter to lead the Vikings to a 28-0 lead and just road it to a 34-10. while Vikings Strong Safety Jamarca Sanford had 2 of the interceptions that the Cardinals quarterbacks three interception.
The Saints and Drew Brees are oceans apart and he maybe a free agent next off season as the Saints will tag him with the franchise tag this off season if they are not able to come to a long term deal and today he was 32 of 45 for 358 yards and 2 TDs and an int while the Saints run game was not around as they had 28 carries for 101 yards. They also had to make a big late comeback with just more than 7 minutes left in the game and they went down the field and milked the clock almost dry as they had a 13 play, 89 yards drive that took 6:16 seconds off the clock and ended with a 6 yard TD pass to Pierre Thomas to take a 30-27 lead and held off Cam Newton and the Panthers for the victory. The Panthers did get more big plays to put up points as Steve Smith caught a 59 yard catch and run from Newton while DeAngelo Williams had a 69 yard TD run for a TD. Cam Newton had a quiet day as he had a 16 of 31 for 224 yards with 2 TDs and an interception and ran the ball 7 times for 27 yards with a long of 13 yards.
Another good NFL sunday
