Article:Whatifsports NFL Replay: Week 11

Yes, it took a hiatus because Kels and I had our personal issues to deal with, but it's back. Will the Patriots go to the Super Bowl? Will the Seahawks make me proud and win out? Will the Dolphins go winless? Oh yeah, I'll be posting some playoff standings as well.

I however, don't have the time to write a game of the day feature that I'm sure you love so much....but I'll have a mini recap of the close games.

= Sunday =

Actual scores in brackets.

Cincinnati Bengals 29 Arizona Cardinals 6 (35-27 Arz)

Green Bay Packers 24 Carolina Panthers 21 (31-17 GB) John Kasay kicked 7 field goals, Mason Crosby kicked 3...but Crosby nailed the 27 yarder as time expired to win a game that featured 10 field goals and two Packer touchdowns.

Cleveland Browns 34 Baltimore Ravens 10 (33-30 OT Cle)

Indianapolis Colts 28 Kansas City Chiefs 16 (13-10 Ind)

Philadelphia Eagles 31 Miami Dolphins 12 (17-7 Phi)

Houston Texans 24 New Orleans Saints 17 (23-10 Hou)

Minnesota Vikings 51 Oakland Raiders 14 (29-22 Min) Vikes went totally nuts on Oakland with 323 yards rushing, including 139 yards by Adrian Peterson.

San Diego Chargers 13 Jacksonville Jaguars 9 (24-17 Jax) Craig "Buster" Davis stunned the Jaguars with a game winning touchdown grab with 2:16 left. The last chance to win for the Jags came up short as David Garrard could not connect with Reggie Williams in the end zone as time expired.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31 Atlanta Falcons 16 (31-7 TB)

New York Giants 29 Detroit Lions 7 (16-10 NYG)

Dallas Cowboys 34 Washington Redskins 9 (28-23 Dal)

Pittsburgh Steelers 40 New York Jets 35 (19-16 NYJ OT) This score is somewhat misleading as the Jets scored a late touchdown at 40-29 and failed the two point conversion....no win.

San Francisco 49ers 26 St. Louis Rams 17 (13-9 Stl)

Seattle Seahawks 28 Chicago Bears 10 (30-23 Sea)

New England Patriots 63 Buffalo Bills 17 (56-10 NE) I wasn't lying about this score.... Wes Welker caught 5 touchdown passes in this rout.
