The Kansas City Chiefs are the best team in the AFC and a big reason for their success has been the play of their second year signal caller Patrick Mahomes. He is making big plays like no other young quarterback that I have seen in the last twenty years. Whereas other great quarterbacks may consistently throw for 250 yards and two or three touchdowns, Mahomes throws for over 300 yards and three touchdowns per game. In short, Mahomes is nothing short of a scoring machine and he can single-handedly win a game for the Chiefs, but the amazing thing is that they have more weapons than young master Mahomes alone. They have a top 10 running back in Kareem Hunt. They have a top 10 wide receiver in Tyreek Hill. And you know what…all of these young stars are under 25 years old.
And yeah, the Chiefs won again. This week they defeated the Denver Broncos, 30 – 23 to improve to 7 – 1 on the season. Quite impressive.
The Chiefs have something else positive going for them…the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders, so let’s take a look at this week’s images. Click here to view their game day gallery.
It was big game week in Los Angeles. Anytime you have one of the NFL’s glamour teams come into town to play, it’s a big deal and it was an even bigger deal with Fox making this game, “America’s Game of the Week”. And then there’s future hall of famer, Aaron Rodgers, a man so gifted that he can almost single-handedly win the game for the Packers.
This was a highly competitive game between two teams that are favored to make the playoffs. In the case of the Rams, they are the favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl and came into the game with an unblemished record. On the other side, the Green Bay Packers were still recovering from the lingering effects of Aaron Rodgers knee injury that he sustained in the first game of the season. He’s been playing better of late, but for those who have followed his game, we know that he is not the same as he is when he’s healthy and that limits the explosiveness of the Packers on offense. And it is the Packers offense that makes them special.
The Packers were led by a strong defensive performance that held the Rams scoreless in the first quarter, but the Rams found their way offensively after halftime. In the end, the game was decided in the final minutes when Greg Zuerlein hit a 34-yard field goal with 2:05 left and Ramik Wilson forced and recovered Ty Montgomery’s fumble on the ensuing kickoff return. Rams win 29 – 27 to stay unbeaten.

The rematch between the Vikings and the Saints wasn’t the last second thriller like last year’s playoffs, but it was almost as good…if you are a Saints fan. A strong defensive effort by the Saints stymied the Vikings and led to a couple of turnovers, one of which was an interception returned for a touchdown. Drew Brees had an uncharacteristically mediocre day, but it was good enough to prevail. Saints win 30 – 20 to improve to 6 – 1 on the season and stay within one game of the conference leading Rams.
Though the loss was disappointing for Vikings fans, their spirits should be raised by this week’s Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders photos. Click here to view the Vikings game day gallery.
The Cincinnati Bengals played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week and it was another close game that was decided by big plays by big players. Jameis Winston, the Buccaneers quarterback, threw four interceptions and was replaced by Ryan Fitzpatrick, who gamely brought the Bucs back to tie the score at 34 with 1:05 left in the fourth quarter. But the Bengals have a few big play players of their own and Andy Dalton promptly drove his team down the field where Randy Bullock kicked the game winning field goal. The Bengals were led by Dalton’s 280 yards and two touchdowns and Joe Mixon rushed for 123 yards and another two touchdowns. Bengals win 37 – 34.
The Cincinnati Ben-Gals braved the chilly weather to cheer on the Bengals to victory. We have posted a few images from the Bengals for your enjoyment. Click here to the Bengals game day gallery to see all the images.

The Detroit Lions hosted the Seattle Seahawks this past weekend and a victory for the home team would mean at least a tie in the highly competitive NFC North division. Going into the game, the Lions had an excellent chance for the win against the Seahawks who were a .500 team and were searching for answers regarding recent personnel changes. Gone was the Legion of Boom, that dominating defense that marked the Super Bowl teams of the past. In contrast, the Lions boast one of the most potent offenses in the NFL with a strong armed quarterback, a bevy of game changing wide receivers and a rookie running back that is on the verge of stardom. But the Seahawks still have a relic of the past in Russell Wilson and he was the difference in the game, throwing for 248 yards and three touchdowns. Seahawks win, 28 – 14.
The Detroit Lions have the good sense to post galleries that feature a large number of images that showcase the game day experience. Click here to view the Lions gallery from this past Sunday.
