There are some good races going on in week 10. There is a division with a 4 team race, 3 divisions with a 3 team race, 2 divisions with a 2 team race and 2 divisions that are essentially locked up. As we dive head long into the final stretch, each game is crucial. There's a scramble for playoff positions which looks like they'll go down to the wire..
The Game of the Week Miami 37 Houston 31 The defending champs Miami Dolphins showed why they are the defending champs by defeating one of the hottest teams in Paydirt going into week 10. Down 21-3 at the half, the Dolphins scored 34 of their 37 points in the 2nd half comeback win over the Texans. Miami's QB Fisher threw for 36-51 480 yds 4 TD 1 Int to lead the way to victory. Houston's QB Clancy threw for 24-45 473 yds 4 TD 2 Int in not only the game of the week but also the shootout of the week. The win by Miami allows them to hold on to sole possession of the AFC East division lead while the loss did not affect Houston's standing in the AFC South. But that tie breaker might be key at the end of the season when determining who gets a first round bye. We will see. Now on to the rest of the league.
AFC West Everyone on the Wild Wild West won this week as this division has really heated up in the last few weeks. Oakland(8-2) remains at the top of the heap with San Diego(7-3) on their heals. Kansas City(6-4) and Denver(6-4) win again to keep the pressure on both the Chargers and the Raiders.
East Miami's(8-2) win keeps Buffalo(7-3) at bay as the Bills win 3rd in a row. New England(3-7) wins to jump out of a cellar tie with NY Jets(2-8).
North Cleveland(7-3) opens up a 2 game lead over Baltimore(6-4) with their win and the Ravens loss. Pittsburgh(4-6) goes down to drop 3 games back while Cincinnati(2-7-1) gets salt rubbed into their wounds with a loss to division rival Cleveland.
South Houston's(8-2) 8 game win streak may have come to an end but their hold on the division did not as Jacksonville(4-6), Indianapolis(3-7) and lowly Tennessee(1-9) all lose.
NFC East Washington(7-3) regains the lead in the NFC East in a back and forth battle with NY Giants(6-4) as the Redskins win and the Giants lose. While that's going on defending division champ Dallas(5-5) has closed within 2 games of the lead. Philadelphia's(1-8-1) stuggles continue as they lose their 3rd in a row.
West Los Angeles(7-3) takes over the division lead in the west with their 6th consecutive win and a loss by Seattle(6-4). This division has gotten pretty exciting over the last few weeks and Arizona(5-5) quietly joined the excitement with their 2nd win in a row. San Francisco(0-10) loses again.
North Green Bay(9-1) has the division all but locked up but is looking for that home field advantage. Detroit(3-7), Minnesota(3-7) and Chicago(1-9) all lose in week 10 and are in spoiler rolls.
South Another division that has heated up over the last few weeks. While Tampa Bay(9-1) keeps winning, so does Atlanta(7-3) and New Orleans(6-4) to stay within striking distance of the Bucs Catolina(3-7) suffered another tough defeat this one in overtime against the Cardinals.
