TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans, New England Patriots
I had my doubts about the Baltimore Ravens but it certainly appears that they are “peaking” just at the right time heading into the AFC Championship Game this week.

Three times the Patriots have hosted the Houston Texans in Foxboro. Three times the Patriots have won big. Final scores of 40-7 (2006), 42-14 (2012), and 41-28 (2012 playoffs) are impressive, but the latest triumph wasn’t as easy as that last margin suggests thanks...

The Falcons “Rise Up” to Victory over Seahawks

Mentally tough Patriots only look ahead
In his postgame conference yesterday, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady lauded his teams mental toughness. Here's the quote;
"Yeah. I think that’s been the mark of our team. We’ve won 11 of 12. We were down 31-3 at home and battled back. I think we’re going to be in it. We have a lot of tough guys, mentally tough guys. Whatever happens, like what happened on the first...

Video: A Bad Lip Reading of the NFL
Bad Lip Reading is a YouTube channel that takes popular movies, celebrities, or songs and dubs them with “new” lines or lyrics.
Their new video took a different direction, dubbing the dialogue and antics of the NFL. And it’s one of their best ones yet.
I nearly died laughing at Jim Harbaugh yelling at the refs “I want it now! I want cake now!” Or Tom Brady telling...
Patriots take care of Texans
It’s weird. Without Rob Gronkowski and Danny Woodhead the Patriots and Tom Brady looked inconsistent passing the ball. Brady forced too many balls to Welker that bounced off his arm and Aaron Hernandez dropped a catch or two. Then I notice that Brady still threw for 344 yards and they scored 41 points.
Matt Schaub, Arian Foster, Daniel Manning and J.J. Watt all had really good...
