Top 5
1. Patriots have biggest comeback in franchise history, overcoming 24-point halftime deficit to the Denver Broncos to win 34-31 in OT.
2. QB Philip Rivers 27/39 for 392 yards, 3 TDs, 127.3 QBR vs. KC
3. WR Josh Gordon 14 receptions for 237 yards, TD vs. PIT
4. RB Knowshon Moreno 37 carries for 224 yards, TD vs. NE

Worst of the Worst
1. Broncos blow 24-point halftime lead in loss to Patriots
2. QB Geno Smith 9/22 for 127 yards, 2 INTs, Fmble, 22.3 QBR vs. BAL
3. Vikings-Packers game ends in tie. I don’t know why the NFL hasn’t made a rule change to eliminate ties yet. No major sport aside from soccer allows ties. The NFL needs to change that rule for reals because ties are stupid.
4. QB Peyton Manning 19/36 for 150 yards, 2 TDs, INT, 70.4 QBR vs. NE
*Sidenote: I don’t understand why Peyton can’t beat Brady. Last year I picked Brady and he won…again. This year Peyton had every tool he needed to get a win and he still couldn’t do it. The overall series between the two is 10-4 in favor of Brady. Brady has not lost to Peyton since 2009.
5. QB Andrew Luck 20/39 for 163, TD, INT, 60.1 QBR vs. ARI
Steelers Recap
Despite being 4/14 on third down, the Steelers got the win in Cleveland 27-11. They forced four turnovers, got a defensive TD and had five sacks. However, they allowed Josh Gordon to get 14 catches for 237 yards and a touchdown, something they cannot allow to happen again. Facing the Baltimore Ravens this week on Thanksgiving Day in Baltimore makes me inclined to pick the Ravens, but they have struggled as of late and the Steelers have not, including that big upset of the Detroit Lions. Don’t fail me now Pittsburgh, because I’m trying to get caught up in our pick’em tournament.
Game of the Week: Saints @ Seahawks
It’s offense versus defense. The Seahawks are at home though, which spells L-O-S-S for the Saints.
