Rocky Mountain High..Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos rolled over Oakland (in Oakland) 34 – 14 to clinch the #1 seed in the AFC! MVP year continued for Manning who only played in the first half along with numerous other starters. Manning was 25/28 with 266 yards and 4TD ‘s. That means he now holds the record for most TD passes in a season with 55! He also surpassed the singles season passing yardage mark of 5,476 yards previously held by Drew Brees. (5,477!) And, the Broncos set an NFL record for points scored in a regular season at 606. Just another walk in the park for the great Peyton Manning. Be Be Thomas had two TD catches and again, over 100 yards receiving in the first half.
Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers returned to action for Green Bay as they took on Chicago at Soldier Field. Quite a back and forth ball game with the Packers prevailing, 33 – 28, winning their division and sending the Bears home for the playoffs. Rodgers had over 300 yards passing with 2TD’s and also two first half interceptions.
The Atlanta Falcons finished their dismal year with a 21 – 20 loss to the Carolina Panthers at home. The Panthers clinch the NFL south and the Falcons will look to next year to figure things out. Sad way for Tony G to go out…really hate it for the future Hall of Famer!
Tonight, Dallas (without Tony Romo, back surgery) will face off against the Eagles to decide the NFC East. Another, win or go home game! San Diego clinched a playoff spot (wild card) and will be a dangerous team when the post season rolls around.
In CBB, Georgia Tech narrowly defeated Charlotte, 58 – 55. Player of the game, Trae Golden made a three point shot for the Jackets and then the 3 point basket by Henry of Charlotte was waived off, coming just a tad too late in regulation. The Jackets will now embark on their ACC schedule!
Tomorrow, Georgia Tech will play Ole Miss in the Music City Bowl in Nashville. GT is a 8 point favorite! GO JACKETS! Later, Oregon vs. Texas! GO DUCKS!
Later folks…it is cold outside…anybody else having a Thanksgiving/Christmas hangover?
