Thoughts From A Monday Morning Quarterback

RobinWormHC0705 copy

Yesterday was an exciting day of Football across the NFL. Included in those games was the Dallas Cowboys traveling to Seattle and beating the defending Super Bowl champions to improve to 5-1 on the year! This is the first time since 1996 that the Cowboys have started 5-1 and they have high hopes of making a serious run this year. This is some tough competition in the NFC East despite Washington having a down year so far. The Philadelphia Eagles shutout the Giants last night to also improve to 5-1 this season. It’s going to be very interesting when the Eagles and Cowboys square off for the first time in Dallas on Thanksgiving, and it could go a long way to determine who wins the division! The only 5-1 team in the AFC is way out west in San Diego, where they beat a scrappy Raiders team 31-28.

Call Your Ads In Before 6pm For This Week’s Paper!

RefereeFootballHC1301 copy

Week five of the NFL season turned out to be quite an exciting one with nine of the thirteen games on Sunday decided by a touchdown or less! This included two overtime games, one of which featured the Dallas Cowboys knocking off a strong Houston squad 20-17. The other game to extend past the regulation of sixty minutes was New Orleans vs. Tampa Bay. The Bucs were up by eleven in the fourth quarter and looked like they may pull off the upset but Drew Brees and the Saints stormed back to take it in overtime 37-31. The first shutout of the season occurred in San Diego where the Chargers destroyed the Jets 31-0. New York has a long list of problems on offense and it will be interesting to see how they attempt to turn their sinking ship around!
