The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from NFL Week 14

The Good:

• Rob Gronkowski, NE TE: Gronkowski raised his TD total for the season to 15 Sunday and continues to impress.

• Matt Ryan, Atl QB: Matty Ice threw 4 fourth quarter TD's Sunday to bring his team back and win. Two of those touchdowns went to impressive rookie Julio Jones.

• Eli Manning, NYG QB: Eli once again proved he's a master of fourth quarter comebacks Sunday, he also had 400 yards and 2 touchdowns.

• Maurice Jones-Drew, Jax RB: Mojo killed it on Sunday and the final score was the result, the Jags ended up beating Tampa Bay 41-14, and Jones-Drew had 136 total yards and 4 touchdowns.

• Matt Prater, Den K: Mark this date down in history, a kicker made my good list! Prater much deserves it though, Prater made a 59 yard FG with 2 seconds left to send it to OT, then made a 51 yarder in OT to win the game.

The Bad:

• Christian Ponder, Min QB: This was just embarrassing to football, Ponder had 4, yes, 4 turnovers....... In the first 2 and a half quarters!

• Carson Palmer, Oak QB: Two words, 4 int's.

• Chris Johnson, Ten RB: Chris, welcome to Earth, population you. After two straight 150+ games Johnson managed 23 yards on 11 carries.

The Ugly:

• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs had an awe-inspiring 7 turnovers!!! Yes, 7. Josh Freeman returning from injury had 2 interceptions and a fumble lost at the goal-line. Preston Parker also had a rough day fumbling 2 punts and a costly penalty.

• The Colts Offense: The Colts had a rough week led by mr. Losing - Dan Orlovsky. Orlovsky had a sub 150 yard day, with 1 pick and 4 sacks. The Colts didn't score until the final play of the game.

DeMarco Murray, Dal RB: and he was doing so well... Until his season came to an end Sunday with an ugly ankle injury.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly For NFL Week 13

The Good:

• Chris Johnson, Ten RB: CJ2K had his second great week in a row posting 153 on 23 carries along with a pair of touchdowns.

• Marshawn Lynch, Sea RB: Lynch is an absolute beast! I would vote for him as breakout player of the year... Plus, did you see that run where he was in the middle of a pile of about 23 guys (hahaha only 22 on field ;), but then he broke loose for a TD???

• Ray Rice, Bal RB: Ehhh, it was nothing, just a career-high 204 yards... Plus a touchdown. Typical day at the office.

• Cam Newton, Car QB: 4 words, Rookie. Of. The. Year. He almost scored as many rushing touchdowns as words I just used, with 3, 1-yard TD scrambles. Not to mention a passing TD to Legedu - my Eggedu - Naanae AND a 23 yard reception that got down to the one!

• Aaron Rodgers, GB QB: *insert Rodgers is beast-mode paragraph here*

• Rob Gronkowski, NE TE: Just his 12th and 13th receiving touchdowns of the season this past week, plus chalk down a rushing TD as well.

• Drew Brees, NO QB: Brees made himself THE FIRST QB in NFL history to pass for 4,000 yards in 12 games, I think we can truly say, Breesus saves ;-)

• Tim Tebow, Den QB: I'm Tebowing right now, I'm a believer!!!

• The Comeback Kids (Caleb Thomasson): Well, this is the 3rd week in a row that Caleb's been the top scorer, it's pretty scary...

The Bad:

• Caleb Hanie, Chi QB: I (honestly, and this is saying something) think Brett Favre could do better! BRETT FAVRE!!! It's just sad...

• Michael Bush, Oak RB: Bush averaged 1.8 yards a carry, did you hear that? 1.8!

• Matt Forte, Chi RB: It's very possible Forte is out for the season with a knee sprain, which will just put the nail in the coffin for the bears.

• The Green Bay Packers: Y'all weren't really bad, just "this close" to losing your first game of the season.

The Ugly:

• Richard Seymour, Oak DT: Seymour threw a punch at a Miami offensive lineman Sunday and got ejected, that's the 3rd time in 3 years that he's been ejected.

• The Rams Offense: It's okay, 156 yards is better than 155! Getting shutout isn't THAT embarrassing, oh wait, yes it is! This is the NFL people!

• Falcons Offense: Yuck! Matt Ryan completed passes....... (dramatic paaaaauuuuuuuuussssssssseeeeeeeeee) alright, we're good. To the other team!
