@AdamSchefterEA - DeAngelo Williams has been at practice this week, and he's cleared to play in this week's game.

@MikeHillEA - Been talking about Tony Romo all day today, won't stop now. #NFCPoW

@RoFloEA - Andrew Luck was solid gold this week. #AFCPoW

@MarkSchlerethEA - Ryan Kerrigan really played like a mad man this week. #NFCPoW

@WingozEA - I'd say Kevin Burnett is one of the main reasons I'm happy to be in the studio and not on the field in pads. #AFCPoW

@LArringtonEA - Marques Colston was the number one option in that game, for good reason.

@MarkSchlerethEA - Got to see the highlights from the Buccaneers game, what a day for Josh Freeman.

@MarkSchlerethEA - Coaches love a guy like Maurice Jones-Drew who can go out and get you consistent yardage on the ground.

@RoFloEA - Watched the replay of DeSean Jackson's kick return TDs, realized the defenders were all holograms.

@AdamSchefterEA - Raiders couldn't stop a nosebleed today, and no way they were stopping the Chiefs from winning.

@SkipBaylessEA - Nothing better than seeing a rushing attack that just dominates the game. Passing isn't the only option.

@WingozEA - The Cowboys have had a ridiculous year on the ground, racking up 2,000 yards of rushing offense.

@RossTuckerEA - Been fun watching a perfectly balanced running system in Dallas this year.

No Offense Needed
Patriots win a game where no offensive touchdowns were made
PATRIOTS 23 - Chargers 12

Foxboro, MA - There comes a time in every NFL team's season where your Special Teams come up big. This was that time for the Patriots. Not one single point was scored by Ryan Mallett and his offense. Luckily for them, the San Diego offense was the same.

Two names: LaRod Stephens-Howling and Derrick Brailsford. These are your returners. One for kick-offs and one for punts, and they certainly filled their rolls today....

Let's start with rookie Derrick Brailsford. Quick little guy who is listed as a wide receiver but absolutely has no hands. Dropped almost everything in pre-season, but Coach Gerard saw something in him...his quickness. Derrick has the ability to react extremely fast with his feet and legs. Took the ball on his side of the field and darted out to the left. The Chargers were expecting him to turn up the middle of the field, but he kept moving left. Got by every defender til about the 30 yard line and saw a Charger's player coming at him on the side. Instead of running out of bounds, he slowed his step just enough to make the defender fly across his face and then turned it upfield to the endzone...his first of his career. First of many...

Next on to Mr. LSH. He was picked up midseason by the Pats last year and was signed to a contract to remain here. He has shown us why, as he has taken 2 pigskins back for 6 points. I can't tell you I'm surprised at this, but it just impresses me more that he was able to step up in a game that saw no passing yards for Ryan Mallett in the first quarter. Let's see if this gets the attention of the Pro Bowl voters as the season comes to a close in 4 weeks.

As for the rest of the game, not much to say. No one stood out. No one stepped up. I honestly don't know what would have happened if the defense had an off game.

This was the first game of a 4-game home stretch. Houston comes to town next week. You know, the ones in the Super Bowl last year? Well they aren't so good this year and hopefully the Pats can continue this win streak into next week. CYA!

Defense Comes Through - The Patriots defense hauled down Philip Rivers, racked up 4 sacks to beat the Chargers.

@LArringtonEA - The Patriots defense had all the answers against an under-performing Chargers O-line, tall 4 sacks.

Hoping for a Quick Turnaround - Casey Hampton knows his team needs him out there so he's hoping for a quick recovery.

@AdamSchefterEA - Casey Hampton will be out at least a couple of games, according to team officials.

Defending Home Turk - Not much to complain about in Foxboro this week as the Patriots came out on top against the Chargers 23-12.

@RossTuckerEA - It's always the rule: protect home field. New England did that.

2013 - Week #13

Tee Off - UTEP K Tyler Bandera is considered one of the best kickers in college football this year.

March To Victory - Matt Ryan made mincemeat of the Texans' defense while scoring an almost-perfect passer rating in a win.

Near Perfect in Win - Alex Smith led the 49ers to victory with near-perfect passer rating of 147.9.

What an Arm - It's been a rags-to-riches story for Tom Brady, but he's long since been accepted as one of the best. He now has 46,234 passing yards in his career.

Steady as He Goes - It's becoming less of a question that Randy Moss will end up in Canton. He's moved into 6th on the all-time receptions list.

Chasing a Legend - Drew Brees' arm looks as good as ever, and he's now 5th all-time on the NFL passing yardage list.

Empty Handed - The Panthers lost on the road 49-42 to the Redskins this week.

See Who's Tweetin'

@ScottWrightEA - Tyler Bandera's one of those rare prizes: a college kicker that can make a difference for a generation. #janikowski

@SCollinsEA - Steve Smith was a whiz kid in Week 13. #NFCPoW

@WingozEA - It's really no surprise to see Fred Jackson crowned as the AFC offensive player of the week.

@AdamSchefterEA - Announcement was just made, Terrell Thomas the #NFCPoW

@SkipBaylessEA - You don't get to be one of the best at middle linebacker like Rolando McClain by accident. #AFCPoW

@SkipBaylessEA - Games like these put QBs on everyone's radar -- Matt Ryan was excellent, now I'm expecting more.

@MarkSchlerethEA - Roddy White has been on the same page all year long with his quarterback. #keepthrowing

@MikeHillEA - The passer rating is like calculus to me, but kudos to Alex Smith for being nearly perfect. #49ers

@SkipBaylessEA - Running backs may be less important now, but you can't tell me Rashard Mendenhall getting 1,000 yards is a bad thing.

@WingozEA - 1,000 yards for Fred Jackson, and would you really be surprised if he just keeps on trucking?

@RossTuckerEA - 1,000-yd rushers aren't what they used to be, but it's not like you don't want BenJarvus Green-Ellis on your team.

@mortreportEA - Many felt Ron Rivera would have a better game plan coming into that game against the Redskins.

@SkipBaylessEA - You just get a sense that the offensive chemistry is better with Steve Smith on the field.

@MarkSchlerethEA - Incredible stuff by Steve Smith today. Precise routes and great timeing helped him make all those catches.

@SCollinsEA - If you want special, look no further than the game Steve Smith had this week!

@RoFloEA - Fantasy owners, be sure to say thanks to Robert Griffin III -- or curse his name if you had to go H2H against him.

@RoFloEA - Spoke with Reggie Bush, and he feels 1,000 yards is the bare minimum he should get each year.

@MattMillerEA - Now 5th on the all-time list, Drew Brees is passing his way to the hall of fame.

@ScottWrightEA - Randy Moss was always such a projectable athlete, that's what GMs loved about him before he was drafted.

@MikeHillEA - Tom Brady will not end as 8th on the all-time passing yards list, he'll keep rising.
