NFL Week 13: Teams Strengths, Weaknesses Show They are What They Are

Bronx cheers go out to the referees in the New York Giants-Dallas game, the Dallas secondary, Jeff Fisher for turning a 24-16 game into a 27-10 deficit, and the Washington Redskins organization for failing to do much of anything correctly. ——————————— Indianapolis (12-0) 27, Tennessee (5-7) 17.

NFL Week 11: Patriots Revenge, the Oakland Fly Trap Eats Again, and More…
