Aaron Rodgers and the Packers roll the terrible Tennessee Titans

By

Earlier in the season, it would have been appropriate to point out how the Green Bay Packers play down to lesser competition in close wins over the New Orleans Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars at home. Can't say that now though as the Packers (11-4) steam-rolled the Titans to the tune of 55-7. Aaron Rodgers was responsible for four of the touchdowns, throwing three and … [Read more...] about Aaron Rodgers and the Packers roll the terrible Tennessee Titans

Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning

By

The Indianapolis Colts won't go 0-16. We know that much. The Colts' 27-13 victory against division rival Tennessee on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium -- Indy's first win of the 2011 season -- prevented the franchise from going down in NFL history with the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the 2008 Detroit Lions, the only two teams to ever finish a season without a win.
