PLAYER OF THE WEEK: This week's POTW came down to two QBs who are not only fighting for a division title but for MVP as well. Big Ben threw for 438 yards and 3 TDs in teh Blitz's win over rival Washington, but we are giving the title to Andy Dalton, whose 330-yard, 4-TD day helped the Maulers stay atop the NE Division and clinch their first playoff berth since their 2011 Summer Bowl appearance.
PLAYOFF PICTURE: We have our first four playoff berths clinched, all in the East, and we have our first team eliminated, in the West. At 10-2, both Pittsburgh and Houston have locked up no worse than a Wild Card appearance. The same is true for 9-3 Baltimore and New Orleans as their conference record guarantees that they will outpace the 4 teams sitting at 5-7 in slots 7-11. No western teams are in the postseason dance, but we can say that the 1-win Chicago Machine are now officially done.
