Packers not perfect, Colts can win without Payton, Megatron beats the Raiders, and the Pats know Tebow

Packers defeated season is gone

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs and Kyle Orton 19-14 @ Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City as Romeo Crennel who his first game as interim head coach and Kyle Orton puts up 299 yards passing. The game went to the second half 6-0 Chiefs as for the first time all season the Packers were shutout for the first half and Aaron Rogers was 6 for 17 for 59 yards in the first half but in the second half early in the third quarter hit Finley for 41 yard pass and three plays later Rogers found Donald Driver in the corner of the end zone to the Packers a 7-6 lead and Rogers his 40th touchdown pass on the season. The Chiefs got a third field goal from Ryan Succop to make 9-7 KC going into the fourth quarter where the Chiefs scored another 10 unanswered points to go up 19-7 including a Jackie Battle one-yard TD run which was the Chiefs first time to find the end zone and then Arron Rogers ran it in from 8 yards out to make it 19-14 with just over two minutes left but on the onside kick Nelson was unable to get a hold of the ball before it went out of bounds and the Chiefs ran out the clock. The Packers lost their first game in 20 games which is the second longest streak in NFL history and Ryan Succop has made 21 straight field goal and now the Packers get to reset and prepare to try to repeat as superbowl champs and if anyone whats to take it away from them they will have to go to Lambo field.

The Colts finally win a game this season and may have saved their head coaches job

They have been reporting this week that if Jim Caldwell did not win one of the last three games he would be fired as the head coach of the colts and this afternoon where at the RCA dome and beat the Tennessee Titans as they outscored the Titans in the second half 24-7 on their was to the victory 27-13. The Colts had Dan Orlovsky as their starting quarter and he was the guy that finished off the Detriot Lions winless season in '08 and today he throw a TD pass and a block to spring a 80 yard run for another TD score which was half of Donald Brown 161 yards rushing in the game. It has taken Dan Orlovsky 10 starts to get his first win as a starter and did not need to do a lot to gain the win as he 11 of 17 for 82 yards with a TD. The reality is that there is no way that the Colts will not get the first overall pick in the 2012 draft and will be able to draft Andrew Luck and most likely will be choose by the Colts and then there will be a decision to be made about Payton Manning and if they want to have Manning starting next season and Luck will sit and watch the master or will they trade him away to a contender for a high price.

MegaTron powers all over the Raiders as the Lions keep their playoffs hopes.

MegaTron (Chris Johnson) took the Lions down the field 98 yards in 9 plays and 95 seconds to take a 28-27 win as Stafford through it to him four times on the winning drive and all were successful as Johnson catch a 21 yard pass and a 48 yard pass to set up the Lions at the Raiders' 23 yard line where Stafford looked towards Johnson and the Raiders Sheppard was called for pass interference to put the ball on the 6 yard line and Johnson caught the TD pass to put the Lions up. The Raiders had their chance to win the game in the last 39 seconds as Carson Palmer completed a 13 yard pass and 21 yard pass to Boss which setup a 65 yard attempt by Janikowski which was blocked by the Lions but it turned out the big mistake was that the Raiders did not go for two points when Stafford was sacked on the Lions' 9 yard line by Curry for a TD and put the Raiders up 26-14 and if they were successful on the two-point attempt it would of given the Raiders a two touchdown lead and at worst the game goes to overtime where it is anybodies game.

There was no Tebowing at the end of the game as the Broncos left too many balls on the field

So Tim Tebow and the Broncos came into the game 6 and 1 under the reign of the Tebow and the game began the way most Broncos end under Tebow as they out gained the Pats 167-4 in the first quarter and the Broncos outscored them 16-6. After the early start the Pats gained their male high legs and outscored the Broncos 21-0 going into halftime where the Pats led 27-16 and one of the main reasons for this was that the Broncos fumbled and turned over the ball three times which counted for 13 of the Pats 27 first half points. In the second half it was no different as they continued to mow down the Broncos defense and the Pats scored 10 more unanswered points to give them 31 straight points before Tebow got a single fourth quarter TD drive and unlike in past weeks Tom Brady took the Pats down the field again and end any thought of a comeback as the Pats won 41-23. The Pats with the victory clinched a playoff birth and will most likely be the AFC East champions again while the Broncos took a set back and are 8 and 7 heading into Buffalo who have lost 7 games in a row and with the loss of the Raiders and the soft Chargers the Broncos still have a great chance to win the AFC West.

So two more weeks and still a lot to be decided
