@@@ Rodgers and Co. got a little help from a confused Joe Philbin. With the Packers trailing by four points and out of timeouts, the Dolphins made a strange decision to call a timeout of their own on 4th-and-10 with 1:07 left in the game. The break allowed Rodgers to get a play called and get his offense set, and sure enough, he hit for 18 yards and a new set of downs. Miami called another timeout after聽 to get them to the 4-yard line with six seconds left on the clock.
The Dolphins are possibly the most average team in the entire NFL. They seem hardwired to finish the season somewhere in the 6-9 win range, which should be enough for their traditional 2nd-3rd place finish in the AFC East. It's tough to gauge their defense but we've likely seen their ceiling and their floor over their last two matchups between Oakland and Green Bay.
The Packers remain tied for first place in the NFC North despite the complete lack of production out of their running backs over the past few weeks. To be fair to , the Packers offensive line has dealt with some injury issues, so it's not really surprising that they would struggle to get a push off the line of scrimmage. Fortunately, Rodgers is so good at manipulating the pocket and rolling out that Green Bay will have a chance to beat any team in the league even without much in the way of a ground game.
3. on the rise, AFC North wide open By Danny Kelly
Do the Browns quietly have one of the league's most efficient offenses? Going into Sunday's tilt with the , Cleveland was ranked fifth in the NFL in yards per play (6.0), third in yards per pass attempt (8.2), and sat just behind the Niners at 4.4 yards per carry (13th). They didn't produce anything prolific this week, but the Browns continued with that efficient, steady equation, running for 158 yards and three touchdowns on the ground while while benefiting from a few well timed and crucial big plays downfield by to the electric Jordan Cameron. Here's the biggest one:
Behind a strong offensive line and the improving Kyle Shanahan zone-blocking scheme, the Browns have been competitive in every game this season, and move to 3-2 with a huge win over rival Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile, the Steelers drop to 3-3, raising more questions about just how good this team is. Two weeks after losing to the , Mike Tomlin figures to spend another week explaining another ugly loss by his punchless team. And Snoop Dogg apparently has the right idea when it comes to offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
With a rising Browns team and an apparently reeling Pittsburgh group, has the power structure in the AFC North been shuffled?
4. The highest scoring tie ever By Danny Kelly
After playing for 75 straight minutes, Cincinnati and Carolina had an identical amount of points, and, by then, everyone was forced to go home, confused and bewildered at the prospect that no one won. The 37-37 tie, which wrapped up after both teams could only muster a field goal apiece in overtime,聽, and marks the third straight season in which the NFL has to use the annoying third option in the W-L-T standings nomenclature. (The and Packers registered a tie game last season, and the Niners and "accomplished" this feat in 2012).Related Articles:
