Lord I Love Football: Week 17 NFL Scores

One last time!

Seattle 41, Atlanta 44
Game ball goes to: What a job interim head coach Emmitt Thomas did getting this sad sack team to play a game. Chris Redman threw four touchdowns, two of them to Alge Crumpler.
Key his Escalade: Yes yes, resting your players is the prudent thing, but allowing the Falcons to score more than 40 points?

New Orleans 25, Chicago 33
Game ball goes to: Devin Hester returned a punt 64 yards for a touchdown and took a pass 55 yards for another score.
Key his Escalade: The injured Reggie Bush spent the Christmas holiday shacked up with Kim Kardashian. This affair has been going on for a while now, where’s the sex tape?

San Francisco 7, Cleveland 20
Game ball goes to: Joshua Cribbs returned a punt 76 yards for the first Browns touchdown.
Key his Escalade: Will Mike Nolan see his fourth year as 49ers coach?

Detroit 13, Green Bay 34
Game ball goes to: Unheralded backup Craig Nall played his first game since 2004, completing seven of 15 passes for 88 yards and a Packers touchdown.
Key his Escalade: The “Fire Millan” chants may now resume.

Jacksonville 28, Houston 42
Game ball goes to: Andre Davis returned back-to-back kickoffs for touchdowns, one from 97 yards and another from 104 yards.
Key his Escalade: See comments above on the Seahawks.

Cincinnati 38, Miami 25
Game ball goes to: Carson Palmer returned to form in time for the season finale, throwing for 316 yards and three touchdowns.
Key his Escalade: With Bill Parcells watching, backup QB John Beck fumbled his first snap. The Bengals returned the loose ball for a touchdown.

Buffalo 9, Philadelphia 17
Game ball goes to: For a second week, Kevin Curtis recovered a fumble for a touchdown.
Key his Escalade: The Bills just kinda stink.

Carolina 31, Tampa Bay 23
Game ball goes to: DeAngelo Williams rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns for the Panthers.
Key his Escalade: Jon Gruden is losing his mind.

Pittsburgh 21, Baltimore 27
Game ball goes to: Could rookie Troy Smith really be the quarterback of the future for the Ravens? He threw for 171 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers.
Key his Escalade: No wonder the Pittsburgh sideline was looking less than energetic: the Steelers have to play Jacksonville again in the playoffs.

Dallas 6, Washington 27
Game ball goes to: Todd Collins was drafted by the Bills in 1995. A decade later he’s leading a team into the playoffs and just might be the quarterback of the future for the Redskins.
Key his Escalade: Sure they had nothing to play for, but the Cowboys have looked less than playoff ready for the past three weeks.

St. Louis 19, Arizona 48
Game ball goes to: For the fourth time in his final six games, Kurt Warner threw for more than 300 yards. I thought the Cardinals drafted a top prospect a couple years ago, what was his name?
Key his Escalade: Marc Bluger threw two interceptions and Gus Frerotte tossed another one.

Minnesota 19, Denver 22 (OT)
Game ball goes to: After all the bad mouthing he got from Philip Rivers last week, Jay Cutler played a decent game. But it was Jason Elam to the rescue again with a 30-yard field goal to win it overtime.
Key hsi Escalade: Adrian Peterson gained just 36 yards rushing and Tavaris Jackson fumbled the ball to the Broncos in overtime. Yeah, the Vikes were not ready for the playoffs.

San Diego 30, Oakland 17
Game ball goes to: Jyles Tucker got a sack on JaMarcus Russell, stripped the ball and recovered the fumble for a touchdown. Game, set, match.
Key his Escalade: Can Norv Turner do what Marty Schottenheimer couldn’t? And if he doesn’t, how long will he survive?

Kansas City 10, NY Jets 13
Game ball goes to: With 98 yards rushing, Thomas Jones wrapped up his first year in New York with 1,119 yards.
Key his Escalade: Cedric Benson, the back Chicago kept, had just 674 yards this year.

Tennessee 16, Indianapolis 10
Game ball goes to: Kerry Collins took care of business after Vince Young got hurt, throwing for 106 yards and not turning the ball over. Good thing, too, because the Titans might need to call on him again next week in the wildcard game.
Key his Escalade: What was all that Andrea Kramer was say about Norm Chow saying Vince Young pouts when things don’t go his way? Tough love or strife in the Tennessee locker room?
