Every Monday, we take a PFT-style look back through the Sunday that was, one game at a time.
We start with the game that our panel of world-renowned experts has determined to be the best of the day, and we work our way down game by game to the worst.
Vikings 33, Ravens 31: With 10 minutes left, the Vikings defense left the building. Somehow, Minnesota escaped with the win.
Saints 48, Giants 27: The Saints made a statement, and capped it with an exclamation point.
Bills 16, Jets 13 (OT): A more gracious than usual Rex Ryan tried to give credit to the Bills, even though they don't really deserve it.
Falcons 21, Bears 14: So what happens when both teams can't run the ball? It's not as exciting as you'd think it would be.
Patriots 59, Titans 0: Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher somehow found the one hot seat at snowy Gillette Stadium.
Chiefs 14, Redskins 6: The stuff after the game was far more compelling than what happened in the stadium.
Raiders 13, Eagles 9: If Mike Vick hadn't shunned the Raiders (eye roll), he would have been on the winning team on Sunday.
Cardinals 27, Seahawks 3: If Seattle can't win division games at home, they won't win enough games to play beyond Week Seventeen.
Steelers 27, Browns 14: If the Steelers can't blow out the bad teams, they'll have trouble overcoming the good ones.
Texans 28, Bengals 17: To be a good team, the Bengals need to beat not just the teams with more wins than losses.
Jaguars 23, Rams 20 (OT): Jacksonville quietly stays in playoff contention, even if less than 39,000 witnessed it.
Packers 26, Lions 0: The home team brushed some long pretty hair over a face that still contains one large and unsightly carbuncle -- the line we call "Baby Swiss" can't protect Aaron Rodgers.
Panthers 28, Buccaneers 21: Those two wins in a row are a mirage -- without a passing game, Carolina could still go 4-12 or worse. The Bucs would be thrilled with 4-12.
Week Six Morning Aftermath

Thank you for posting all the "aftermath" items together. In the past I was never seeing all of them.
naturally no mention of the 27-3 whooping the cards put on the seahawks. Usually florio would have at least put the AZ game at the bottom of this list. We in AZ will take that as a compliment from PFT. Thanks Mike.
Florio is going to take his ball and go home. nyah.
"Patriots 59, Titans 0: Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher somehow found the one hot seat at snowy Gillette Stadium."
Thanks for the laugh. I am still picking myself up off the floor from that one. Keep up the good work you lunatic.
I thought it wasn't that Vick shunned the Raiders, it was that Dungy told him to stay away? Or have I missed something?
There was a lot of terrible play at the quarterback position yesterday. Below are some of the passer ratings.
Mark Sanchez 8.2
Ryan Fitzpatrick 51.4
Kerry Collins 4.9
Daunte Culpepper 22.3
Drew Stanton 22.0
Eli Manning 61.0 (low for Eli)
Derek Anderson 51.0
Jake Delhomme 42.2
Jason Campbell 46.1
Todd Collins 60.1 (and he took a safety with the game on the line)
Donovan McNabb 66.3 (a horrible day for #5)
Jamarcus Russell 68.2 (not a bad day for JR)
Matt Hasselbeck 32.5 (WTF?)
Is Keith O. really the "progressive" he claims to be? Or, is it just cable TV muck? I ask, because I understand he use to date conservative idiot Laura Ingram. Just wondering, Mike.
Anyway, your Steelers hate is getting silly. It will make your day if the lose to the Vikings next week, huh?

Hey dumbass, why not try to read the blog for a change. Lord Florio states they are listing the games in what is considered to be the best down to the worst of the games. Your precious Cards are listed in 9th place.
"If the Steelers can't blow out bad teams then..." Don't worry about the Superbowl Champs, my friend. They'll be just fine. Remember, it's a division game. One in which we have won 12 times in a row (I think that motivated Cleveland). Also, we had two startes come back, over 500 yards in offense, gave up one offensive score. Probably played one of our worst games & won by 13. Those rings shimmer too brightly in the eyes of some (haters).
