Patriots Show They are Still Champions and Other NFL Surprise Wins!

Week #5 NFL Surprise Winners:

1. The New England Patriots win against the Falcons -- Just when all the football experts across the country, particularly the ESPN experts of Tom Jackson, Steve Young, Michael Irvin and Chris Berman thought the Patroits were finished, Tom Brady and the scrappy Patriots displayed a masterful game plan offensively and defensively to get a win against the very tough Atlanta Falcons. Even though Vick didn't play, the Falcons played an aggressive defense and made big plays offensively. Yet it was the champion-like quality of the Patriots that overcame all the week's criticism and doubters to take a stance and show that they are STILL THE CHAMPIONS. Bill Belichick went back to the basics and had Brady to call more running plays with Dillon and then pass to his tightends and wide receivers. Well, everyone stepped up BIG TIME including the veteran players on defense!! What I didn't like about the criticism against the Patriots was the nastiness coming from the National Sports media experts! Why did the Patriots receive such bad media attention when they have not done anything wrong just try to defend their Championship!! By the end of the weekend, the PATRIOTS SHOWED THAT THEY ARE STILL THE CHAMPIONS AND THEY PLAYED LIKE A CLASS ACT REGARDLESS OF THE ESPN SO-CALLED EXPERTS PREDICTIONS!!

2. The Pittsburgh Steelers win with a fieldgoal in the last few seconds against the San Diego Chargers in a Monday Night Thriller! Yes, once again, the ESPN experts (Stu, Jackson, Irvin and Jaws) were ALL WRONG IN THE PREDICTION! They predicted the Chargers to win and it was the Steelers and Ben Roethliesberger (who has a serious knee injury) and the Bus to win this game for the Steelers fans! Oh yeah, Marty Schottenheimer needs to keep his mouth shut until he wins a championship. Hey Marty, I remember your days with the Cleveland Browns and it wasn't good!

3. The Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre CRUSH THE Saints!! Just when all the so-called experts predicting the demise of Brett Favre, he comes out and scores 52 points against the Saints. Yes, this is Brett Favre who still got the zip and can make plays happen with ease. He needs a supporting cast and maybe now they will step up with him. Way to go BRETT FAVRE -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

4. The Dallas Cowboys put a hurtin' on the Eagles. The Cowboys thoroughly dominated the Eagles and Drew Bledsoe looked good in the pocket and hit Terry Glenn for a couple of touchdowns!! Hey Terrell, you didn't do a dance in the endzone this day either!

WOW, IT'S BEEN A SURPRISING NFL SEASON THUS FAR AND FOOTBALL ONE ON ONE WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO GIVE YOU THE LATEST AND THE BEST PREDICTIONS!! See ya at www.footballoneonone.com for the latest!!
