Capping Off the Recap

A recap of the final two games of Week 14

New Orleans 42, Dallas 17 - I suppose the Saints will now be the this week's "Team to Beat" in the NFC, eh? All week long, the talk was how Dallas was probably the best team in the NFC. Not anymore. After spotting the Cowboys an early 7-0 lead, New Orleans started scoring touchdowns from the most unlikeliest of sources, fullback Mike Karney. The lead blocker for Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush scored three touchdowns, leading the Saints to an easy 42-17 win. The Saints have likely secured the #2 seed in the wide-open NFC, meanwhile Dallas is now only a game up on the New York Giants in the NFC East.

Chicago 42, St. Louis 27 - Don't be fooled by the Bears blowout win over the hornless Rams: Rex Grossman still is a pretty bad quarterback. Word also came out last night that it's official: Tommie Harris is done for the season. That's not good news for the Bears defense.

Week 15 will get started on Thursday night, and I have a few things to say about that.
