Packers and the Patriots

In a major week 13 game that many are calling a "Superbowl preview" the packers take an impressive win over the Patriots in Lambeau field with a final score 26-21. The Packers improve to 6-0 at home for the season



A critical aspect of this games was Green Bay's ability to stop New England on defense. The Packers where able to play a strong man coverage which was surprisingly able to limit Gronkowski's activity for the day.

On the other side of the ball, Rodgers was another key to this game for the Packers on offence. Rodgers had no turnovers in this game, with two touchdowns and over 300+ yards. apart from having phenomenal individual stats for the game, Rodgers also did an exceptional job at reading New England's offence. Rodgers was able to escape the Patriot's defensive line, and also being active in the pocket and taking off for first downs when his receivers are fully covered.


This game could really have gone either way, as Tom Brady threw a perfect TD that was dropped by the receiver that would've been the game winning score with only a little more than two minutes left in the game.

Tony Romo and the Cowboys

Suffering their latest loss on Thanksgiving day to the Eagles, Romo and the Cowboys have been bumped back down to the wildcard hunt in order to make the playoffs. The Eagles dominated the game on both sides of the ball, outscoring and limiting Romo to a score of 33-10.

The Dallas Cowboys have been known to  struggle in the month of December, the most critical part of the season. December is the time in the season where the playoff picture is pretty clear, and the Cowboys have always slowed down during this month, giving their rivals the opportunity for the division. The 'boys have three straight home losses currently, and have 3-4 record at home so far this season. It is perhaps in their benefit to have 3 out of 4  away games as the season whines down.

Tony Romo

Despite serious injuries, Romo plays every week, and needs all the time he can get in between games to rest his body and prepare for every game. Tony Romo did not play his best on Thanksgiving day against Philadelphia, not to take anything away from the Eagle's defense, but also due to the fact that it was a short week to rest. Romo had just finished beating the New York Giants just 4 days earlier, and did not practice on those days due to the fractures in his back.  This week, the Cowboys are back on a normal practice schedule, and will play the Chicago Bears on Thursday night football.

Dallas is 5-0 on the road this year, and will need that momentum as they head to Chicago to play a bears team that crushed them last season. the rest of the season for the Cowboys doesnt get too much better as they head to  Philly to try to redeem themselves against the Eagles, hosting the red hot Colts, then heading to Washington DC to face Colt Mccoy and the Redskins, a team that bested them earlier this season by a slim margin.
