TOP THREE SHOCKING THINGS ABOUT WEEK 14



Patriots Are Shut Out And Crushed, 21-0 - Don't look now but two of America's postseason favourites were ground into dust yesterday. Seven straight winning road games for the Pats going into Miami were meaningless as the Patriots were shut out for the first time in 3 years. So, do the Pats look Super Bowl bound?


Fred Taylor looks incredulous that a Colt might try and tackle him for a change.

Colts Are Crushed, 44-17 - Not so suprising a result considering that the Jaguars have allowed only 7.8 points per game at home this year AND the Colts pathetic run defence (is it really even a defence or an Olé Line?) allowed 375 yards rushing on Sunday. In fact, the Jags had TWO guys run for over 100 yards, one in each half. So, do the Colts look Super Bowl bound? Imagine what LT would do against this Maginot Line of Run Defence.



LaDainian Tomlinson His performance Sunday wasn't shocking when considered in conjunction with the rest of this season but the fact that he's now scored his 29th TD of the sesaon and 26th in his last 9 games. Imagine that the Chargers got LT AND Drew Brees for the price of one Michael Vick. All three of those players are the stars of likely (well in the case of the Falcons, possible) playoff teams. Three budding NFL superstars, all in the same draft. In any event, if the TDS aren't enough, tying Riggo's 1983 record of seven straight multi-touchdown games, he also finished with 103 yards on 28 carries, his seventh straight 100-yard game. Or imagine that he's just three points shy of breaking Paul Hornung's single-season record of 176 set in 1960. 1960. And Hornung kicked as well, thus making this point total even more impressive.

Odds and Ends


Revenge Factor - 39 yard game-winning touchdown run makes the Class of 06 look even better.

Yet its difficult to snub Drew Brees' five td passes coming against the once-exciting Cowboys.
