Week 14 of the NFL Sunday had a couple of division winners and it also had a failed guarantee. The game of the week coming in was the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots. Anthony Smith, the safety for the Steelers, guaranteed a Steelers win during the week. It turned out bad for him because he got burned on two of Tom Brady's four touchdown passes. Brady threw for 399 yards on 32-46 passing. Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers QB, wasn't bad, going 19-32 for 187 yards and an impressive touchdown pass. The Patriots won the game 34-13 in which the Patriots already had the game won at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Another great game was the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. Before that game, there were some words said between the two teams as well. Terrence Newman, the Cowboys defensive back, said that he would come after Jon Kitna, the Lions QB, after some words were said by Kitna last year about the Cowboys. The Cowboys, who have the best record in the NFC, struggled to get the win but Tony Romo, the Cowboys QB, threw a touchdown pass with 18 seconds remaining to Jason Witten for the game winner. The Cowboys won 28-27. The Sunday night matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Ravens was supposed to be a good one after the Ravens played well last Monday against the Patriots. It didn't happen. Peyton Manning, the Colts QB, was lights out and didn't have to play the second half. They had a 37-7 lead at halftime and they ended up winning 44-20. Will the Patriots go undefeated this season? Was the Colts victory against the Ravens a statement game? With the Cowboys struggling to beat the Lions, can they be beaten by another NFC team?
