Week 10 AFC Recap

Gary Ashley
Busy looking at the babes

Cleveland at Pittsburgh - To those 80s nerds who grew up with the NES, anyone remember Mike Tyson's Punch Out and facing Piston Honda the 2nd time? That's sort of what it felt like with the Steelers on Sunday as the team they schlacked during Week 1 came out to a monsterous 21-6 before halftime. Ok Little Mac, don't fret. All it takes is one well-placed punch when he charges and it'll be over. Or in this case, Ben Roethlisberger (23/34 for 278 yards, 2 TDs, 1 rushing TD, 1 INT) running like a revolutionary frenchman with his head cut off. It came down to a tense field goal by Phil Dawson and Dawson's Creek ran dry when the game-tying field goal came up short. Springfield nabs the lemon tree, shake your fists harder Shelbyville. YOUR FINAL: Springfield 31, Shelbyville 28

Buffalo at Miami -
When I saw that the score was Miami leading 3-2 in the 3rd quarter, I had my doubts that J.P. Los...man would come back to rally and at least kick a field to make it a baseball score. Then again, this is the Miami Dolphins we are talking about and they are willing to start anyone on any given Sunday. You, the blog reader, could be their quarterback for next season. Madam Cleo Lemon threw 16/29 for 131 yards and a rushing TD but still not enough as Miami keeps the Orange Bucs antsy at 0-9. Buffalo has the honor next week of snapping the knee of Tom Brady. Oh, and Joey Porter picked up half a sack this game and still lost, making his total 1.5 for the year. YOUR FINAL: Buffalo Wild Wings 13, White Castle 10

Jacksonville at Tennessee -
Jacksonville is the first team this year to post a Quad-7, where you score one TD and only one TD in all four quarters. To that I tip my hat off to, if I was wearing a hat. In another fun trivia fact, all three strings of Jacksonville running backs scored rushing TDs on the day. Vince Young continued eating stale FunYoungs as he went 24/41 for 257 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. No doubt being putting to more waste than a November pumpkin this game would be Jacksonville punter Adam Podlesh who faked a field goal (that's what she said, kinda) and failed to get the first down, then miffed a punt in the 4th quarter. He's not Australian enough. YOUR FINAL: The Quad-Seven 28, Can't think of a witty nickname for the Titans other than Titties 13

THE LIST

1) The Entire Cincinnati vs. Baltimore Game - Cincy kicker Shane Graham 7 field goals, Baltimore 2 INTs, 4 Lost Fumbles - "We got 3! Times 7! HARHARHARHARHARAR!!!!" Deion Sanders on NFL Network: "Do we have to show this!?"

2) Joey Porter (MIA) - 1.5TH SACK OF THE YEAR! - AND YOU STILL LOST!

3) Damon Huard (KC) - 6/15 for 83 yards, 2 INTs, Injured in 3rd Quarter -
Maybe the early day off was a good thing at the rate he was throwing.

4) Peyton Manning (IND) - 34/56 for 328 yards, 2 TDs, 6 INTs - If I know my sports movies correctly, this is the part of the movie where the team starts to crap on itself.
