Oh what a night it was for San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. With a 24-0 lead at halftime he channeled his inner Brett Favre and proceeded to give the football away like it had molten lava on it. He threw four gunslingers and even added two fumbles for good measure to give him the weekly victory. This was a nice turnaround for NFL quarterbacks this week as in Week 5 the top dog for interceptions only had two. That’s weak sauce. This week there were even three quarterbacks (Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton, Alex Smith) that threw three gunslingers and six that threw two. Not too shabby. That means in Week 6 quarterbacks across the league got Jon Gruden’s memo that they weren’t trying hard enough and that they needed to put in some extra effort to try and get that ball through triple coverage. Well done.Here’s an update of the weekly winners (I started doing this in Week 4):Week 6: Philip Rivers – 4Week 5: (tie) Matt Cassel, Mark Sanchez, and Blaine Gabbert – 2Week 4: Tony Romo – 5W...

Romo explains final play in Sunday's game
Tony Romo isn't the type of quarterback to call out his teammates, even if he thought they did something incorrectly.
Following what was the final offensive play the Cowboys ran Sunday in Baltimore, wide receivers Kevin Ogletree and Miles Austin jogged back to the line of scrimmage despite a running clock, likely costing their team an extra play that could've improved the...

Have you ever seen an NFL quarterback look like such a little baby? Seriously…all Philip Rivers does is complain, make stupid faces, throw interceptions, and throw temper tantrums on the sideline. I’m so sick of talking-head “experts” putting him in the category of “almost elite”…right outside of Brady, Brees, Rogers, and Manning. This guy is [...]

Cowboys beat themselves in loss to Ravens
It was the best of the Cowboys. It was the worst of the Cowboys. All wrapped up into one game.
Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Ravens was time capsule-worthy of the Romo era: Good enough to get close. Bad enough to lose.
Most of the postgame attention will focus on clock management. The Cowboys executed perfectly to get in position for a game-winning field goal, then did everything...
