Game of the day is sure to be 49ers and vikings.
Vikings offense was out of sync vs Green Bay, and 49ers have been stellar at defense. And Garroppolo is the real deal at game management. No wonder Belicheck wanted to keep him. And he is a guy that knows a thing or two about coaching. If the Patriots had Garroppolo they would have beaten the Titans easily.
You could tell that the Titans didnt trust Brady since when they were up by 1 point in punt formation with about 6 minutes left, ran off two minutes of the clock by committing three consecutive penalties. Plus, they were only rushing 3 on most plays against Brady, giving him all day to throw. It was sad seeing Brady like that. Just goes to show you how good Gronk was. New England had a great defense, but they will need to get a new qb next year to be competitive. And before anyone saya Brady didnt have weapons, he absolutely does. Just look at Sanu's stats with Ryan and even Dalton and they gave a lot for him.
I expect the Ravens to obliterate the Texans. Harbaugh is a defensive mastermind, whos second string crushed the Steelers in week 17 who were playing for a playoff spot. And they are a better team than the Texans.

Harbaugh is a defensive mastermind, whos second string crushed the Steelers in week 17 who were playing for a playoff spot. And they are a better team than the Texans. The Ravens are playing the Titans. The Chiefs are playing the Texans. I think the Texans will indeed get crushed, by the Chiefs. But I think the Titans will put up a game against the Ravens, but the Ravens will pull it out.

Too bad the Chiefs game is tomorrow, it is snowing pretty good right now in Kansas City.

And before anyone saya Brady didnt have weapons, he absolutely does. Just look at Sanu's stats with Ryan and even Dalton and they gave a lot for him. If Sanu was such a "weapon", he would have ranked higher on the Patriots productivity list when compared to the other receivers. He didn't, so he wasn't. Maybe he'll become the weapon we all hoped for next year. The Patriots lackluster offense this year was clearly a combination of a lack of weapons and Brady's age creeping up on him. Keeping the current crop of weapons and replacing Brady is a recipe for a 9-7 season. If the Pats want to return to the big show next year, the best bet is to keep Brady and load up the offense. After all, he is just two season removed from league MVP, the current reigning world champ, and he still has the drive to win!

It's just that Brady was so awful he couldn't get the ball to Sanu enough.

Niners defense forces a 3 and out and then the Niners offense drives it right down the field, culminating in a Garoppolo TD pass, 7-0 Niners. Great start for them.

The Vikings were defending against the run the whole drive. Didn't get any pressure at all, and Jimmy G picked apart zone defense with his all-pro tight end and multiple pro-bowl receiver.

Vikings respond with a TD on a Cousins to Diggs TD pass, Witherspoon got burned badly on that drive.

Wow,TD for the tie in the first quarter.
Nice play by Diggs.

Was that underthrown purposefully, or did they just get lucky?

Nice dive to salvage a first down from that throw.

The Vikings defense is giving the 49ers a hard time as the first quarter ends.
