NFL SpyingTwo 9-0 Teams For Third Time In NFL History; Division Leaders Showing What A Difference A Year Makes

As the NFL season rolls into Week 11, there are still two undefeated teams. The two unbeatens – the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints – form just the third pair in NFL history to start a season 9-0, joining the 1934 Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears and the 1990 New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers.

To get to 9-0, Indianapolis needed a come-from-behind victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday night. Trailing by 17 points in the fourth quarter, the Colts scored three touchdowns in the final period to pull out a stunning 35-34 victory. Indianapolis quarterback PEYTON MANNING threw four touchdowns on the night, including the game-winner to REGGIE WAYNE with 13 seconds remaining. Read the rest of this entry »

Eagles v Dallas on the Droid!No matter how good or bad either of these teams are in any given year, when the Dallas Cowboys pay their yearly visit to the Philadelphia Eagles, it is always a can’t miss event. Well, the TMRzoo is here at ground zero, and just like last week, will be giving you the blow-by-blow as to what is going on during the tailgating scene and then the actual game.

Key Divisional Contests Highlight Week 9 NFL Action

reggie-wayneAs the NFL approaches the halfway point, it’s still a wide open race to the playoffs.

Sure, the Indianapolis Colts (7-0) and New Orleans Saints (7-0) are in good shape with spotless records. But in the unpredictable NFL, you don’t want to count out anybody. Since 1990, when the current 12-team playoff format was adopted, 47 teams (20.6 percent of the 228 playoff clubs) have advanced to the postseason after starting the season with a .500 or worse record after eight games. So while being undefeated is nice, Colts wide receiver REGGIE WAYNE knows there’s a lot of football left to be played.

“We know that 7-0 guarantees us nothing,” says Wayne. “We’ve gotten farther than this in the past and came out with nothing. We just want to stay dialed in and continue to win games.” Read the rest of this entry »
