November 15, 2011 – As much as things change, they remain the
same. What’s the same? Why it’s the 0-10 Colts, of course. They lost to a struggling Jacksonville
Jaguars 17-3 at home and the Colts continue their season long reign as Kings of
the Cellar. The Colts have a two and a
half game lead over Minnesota, Carolina, St. Louis, and Miami, all 2-7.
What's different? Miami's winning games.
By winning their second consecutive game over
the 3-6 Washington Redskins, the Dolphins are off the Last Place radar for now. However, because of Miami, Washington earns
this week’s honorable mention. The Skins
lost five straight and face a resurgent Dallas Cowboys.
This week’s second honorable mention goes to the 4-5 San Diego
Chargers, just beating out the 2-7 Carolina Panthers for the mention. The Chargers were supposed to be the team to
beat in the AFC West…well, they’re proving they can be beat, losing four
straight. This week, they go to the
Windy City to face an improving Chicago Bears.
Next Loss
Here’s a guarantee. The
Indianapolis Colts will not lose this week.
Okay, they won’t lose because they have a bye. They’ll face the Carolina Panthers next week in their quest for the first pick in the draft, the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.
Speaking of the Carolina Panthers, they will visit Ford Field to
play the Detroit Lions. Upset
Special? Nah. Detroit will take their loss to Chicago out
on the Panthers.
The Rams and Arizona Cardinals won last week. St. Louis hosts the Seattle Seahawks and is my
Upset Special. The Rams will get their third win. The
Cards will get torched at Candlestick by the San Francisco 49ers.
Here are some historical scores on this day for teams facing
each other this week: November 15,
1964 – Denver 20 – New York Jets 16
1987 – New York Giants 20 – Philadelphia 17
