Ryan is disputing the evidence, and says he never tested positive.

Of course he would deny it. That's what they do. Deny any wrongdoing.

Broncos win again, but it wasn't all Tebow this time. Prater hits a clutch 59 yard field goal to send the game into overtime tied at 10. In OT, with the Bears in Bronco territory, the Denver D forces a fumble from Barber, and Prater was able to hit the game-winner this time. It raises the question... With the Broncos barely beating some of the opponents a "playoff team" should have no trouble with over their 7-1 slate over the past eight games, and almost losing to a Cutler-less, Forte-less Bears team, do the Broncos really deserve to make the playoffs over a Chargers team that has seemingly hit its stride?

Well, with Oakland getting floored by Green Bay, I think Denver is the best team in the AFC West and this team has really gotten behind Tebow and they're playing extremely better football than they were playing with Kyle Orton under center.

I'm not saying the Chargers deserve to go over the Broncos. What matters, of course, is the record at the end of the regular season. Let's be objective here, though: How much have injuries affected the Chargers? They have had multiple injuries to the offensive line, including a couple of Pro-Bowl linemen, and they were missing Gates and Floyd for multiple games this season, both having key roles in that offense. I know that all that matters is winning, but with Tebow playing sloppy ball for three quarters, then getting it done in the fourth quarter, can they really expect that kind of luck against the elite teams?

I'm not saying Denver's going to win in the playoffs, it's just they look like the best team in that division, injuries or not.

Even if those 15 minutes you play out of your mind, you still need to play 60 minutes of flawless football to beat the roughnecks in the AFC.

Yeah, I tanked at the wrong time and will go in banged up. I just lost DeMarco Murray for the playoffs.

Yeah, it hurts. You may have swept me in the regular season, but I'm feeling good about this time. But hey, anything can happen.
They led, what, 34-0 at halftime? With the Raiders only able to score a few garbage time points, the Packers played nearly a perfect game.
EDIT: Good for the Chiefs, smart move. Mr. "Let's put Jamaal Charles #2 on the depth chart" has been relieved.

The Monday Night Football game pits Seattle and St. Louis. Seattle tries to keep their super slim playoff hopes alive with a win.

Yeah, but I don't like their chances to clinch, just like I don't like the Chargers' in the AFC. They dug themselves into a hole that they can't get out of in time. Lynch can go Beast Mode and carry them only so much, but the severe lack of talent on that team otherwise is evident.

But, the Saints don't play in cold weather a lot and when they played in Lambeau, the temps were comfortable.
Not saying a possible Saints-Packers NFC Championship game will be the second coming of the Ice Bowl (1968 NFL Championship; Cowboys vs. Packers) or the Freezer Bowl (1982 AFC Championship game; Chargers vs. Bengals).
But Dallas and San Diego learned, teams that aren't built to play cold weather a lot, freeze up, and the same could happen to New Orleans.
