AFC Week 11 Recap with Jelly-filled goodness

This week in the NFL saw the end of the three longest streaks in the NFL: The Colt's winning streak, Arizona's losing streak, and Andy Walter's underpants. To the games!
Pittsburgh at Cleveland - If this game were held earlier in the season the Steelers would've probably taken sole posession of 3rd place in the AFC North by more than 2 games. Ben Rothlisberger almost got Listed this game with 25/44 for 272 yds, 2 TDs and 3 INTs (1 returned for a TD), but came out on a size-12 bowling-shoe ugly game with a win. Cleveland slipped this game to them because they are contractually obligated to lose with less than 5 games remaining in the season, much like the Indians. For their credit though Cleveland scored TDs on defense and special teams, both of which win football games. No actually, having more points does. Steelers widen the rivalry win-loss margin and go on a 2-game winning streak. Springfield 24, Shelbyville 20
Oakland at Kansas City - This game featured the return of two injured starting QBs: Aaron Brooks from Interceptionitis, and Trent Green from "I got the living f*** knocked out of me" syndrome. Frequent List-er Andy Walter made a brief cameo appearance in the game throwing 2/3 for 15 yards while Oakland suffered key injuries on offense at left tackle and running back. Trent Green and KC had a rough start in first half trailing 13-7 but rallied back for the win. Oakland loses to San Diego next week. Trent Green 17, Chuckleheads 13
Chicago at NY Jets - From what I heard defense wins football games, not scoring more points than your opponent. This belief was used in a snoozer of a game in which Chicago blanked the Jets 10-0 for the second-lowest scoring game of the season, all points being scored in the second half. Wake your dad up for next week. Chad Pennington was back to his usual form throwing 19/35 for 162 yds and 2 INTs. Next week expect your dad to fall asleep at the game while freezing his butt off. DA Bears 10, Northeast Airlines 0
THE LIST
(of QBs sitting at the kids table)
Donovan McNabb (6/13 for 78 yds, 1 INT, Injured: 3rd time in 5 years McNabb is out for the season with at least 6 games remaining) - Expect more waiving from fantasy teams this week than the Queen of England in a parade.
Chad Pennington (19/35 for 162 yds, 2 INTs) - Last time I saw Chad play well was when he jammed with Blues Traveler on one of those MNF Halftime filler segments.
Both Packers QBs (Favre: 5/15 for 73 yds, injured and left game; Rodgers: 4/12 for 32 yds) - Expect John Madden to have a blooming onion crisis right now.
Andy Walter (2/3 for 15 yds) - Andy makes the list because his 3 passes were useless in their loss.
