1. The Denver Broncos lost to the Chicago Bears today, even with the "great" Jake Plummer back from injury. They scored 10 points against an inconsistent Bears defense. This is big for us. Right now as things stand we would be in the playoffs as the #6 seed. I know that isn't all that impressive but anything can happen in the playoffs especially when a team goes hot.
2. This is a big juicer of a win for the players heading into a very very short week and a Turkey Day appearance in Dallas. Thats big. Adrenaline alone will keep the players fresh during the week. We don't tend to do well on short weeks, but short week games in which we lost the game heading into the short week, are just about hopeless for us.
3. Steve McNair got injured today, is listed as doubtful for this monday night against the Jets. With Pennington at the helm, the Jets could easily steal this game, especially since it is prime time. Any losses by the Colts, Titans, Chiefs, or Patriots are big for us right now down the stretch if we hope to turn this Jay Fiedler game winner into a momentum builder down the stretch.
4. The Bills lost today. With 7 losses each, that puts the Bills and Jets all but out of the division title race. They'll be playing with just their hatred for their opponent (us) from here on out. Neither are to be overlooked, but at least this year we won't see the Jets creeping from out of nowhere to steal the division like last season.
Oh...and one last note...
5. The last time New England lost, it was to the Washington Redskins. :)
