The NFL weekend was marked by the first truly great performance from Tim Tebow kiss, the quarterback of the Broncos that everyone expects. Is this the beginning of a promising career, where a simple bang against a team to train?
The match of the weekend: Miami - Denver (15-18)
Tim Tebow kiss has signed its first debut in the NFL this weekend. The young quarterback prodigy from Denver, aka "Captain America", was once the confidence of his coach in Miami. And if, for 54 minutes, he failed to raise his game, his last three minutes were amazing.
Because until then, the Dolphins seemed to move toward a 15-0 success. But in the space of three minutes, so, Tim Tebow kiss threw two touchdown passes, and succeeded himself the transformation of two points for his team to go to the extensions. A fumble later Matt Moore, the Broncos picked up the ball and could override a field-goal by Matt Prater.
While not the match of the year, the event has seen the emergence of a potential future great quarterback in the NFL. Whereas last year by fans of the Broncos, Tim Tebow kiss will still have to refine its regularity, and undoubtedly his passing game. But his qualities to the race and fighting-spirit in man is already the situation for Denver. Of course, this will not save a season that promises to be complicated (4 losses, 2 wins), but he probably took the lead on Sunday over his rival Kyle Orton. Florida side, however, is getting worse, with this weekend sixth straight loss.
The feeling of the weekend: exploding the poor Saints Colts
Seventh defeat in as many games for the Indianapolis Colts, pathetic Sunday against New Orleans (7-62). However, Peyton Manning was there on the sidelines, encouraging his teammates. But the presence of their star quarterback, always hurt, really does not have sufficed. Faced with a monstrous Drew Brees (31/35, 325 yards, five touchdowns), the Colts defense has exploded. Already the attack in Indianapolis did not work in the absence of Manning, now that the rear is also becoming too permissive. The Saints took advantage, and they set a team record for largest margin in a match with their opponents. Too bad Sean Payton, the coach of New Orleans, could not attend the meeting since the key. Wounded, he spent the entire meeting in houses, nachos before him alone. Sign, really, that the evening was not of great stress. Other sensations, this weekend: the defeat of the Baltimore Ravens against a team of ultra realistic Jacksonville Jaguars, the disastrous start of Carson Palmer with the Oakland Raiders, the three touchdowns to Plaxico Burress in the win against the Jets the Chargers.
The tops
Unlike last week, the quarterbacks were released this weekend. Three pitchers have dominated the radius of the stats: Aaron Rodgers (24/30, 335 yards, 3 TDs), Drew Brees (31/35, 325 yards, 5 TDs), and finally Matt Schaub (18/23, 296 yards, 2 TDs). Cam Newton, QB rookie Carolina Panthers, has been sensational again Sunday against the Redskins with 256 yards, one touchdown scored, a throw, and 59 yards in the race. DeMarco Murray ran for 253 yards for the Cowboys (including a run of 91 yards!), While Adrian Peterson has made him a record of 175 yards in the race. Arian Foster ran for 115 yards the Texans, but also scored two touchdowns. Plaxico Burress has caught only four passes, but three of them were touchdowns. Greg Jennings (Green Bay) has benefited from big game to catch Rodgers 147 yards. Ditto for Steve Smith (Carolina) with Newton, who tallied 143 yards.
