Don't be fooled by Jacksonville's 139 rushing yards against Houston - QB David Garrard accounted for 41 of them. The Jags can't be taken seriously as a Super Bowl threat until they get Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew going on the ground. ... The Chargers are still packing a lot of heat on enemy QBs despite the season-ending loss of Pro Bowl OLB Shawne Merriman, one of the game's premier pass rushers. Credit veteran defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell for mixing up San Diego's fronts and coverages. ...

The Panthers have averaged 24 points per game in QB Jake Delhomme's five starts since the beginning of the 2007 season. Without Delhomme in that span, Carolina averaged 15 points. Jacksonville's struggling ground game is putting too much pressure on David Garrard, who has already matched last year's total of three interceptions. ... A week after rising up against Tampa Bay, the Saints' defense returned to normalcy in the nation's capital as the Redskins rolled up 25 first downs and 455 yards. ... Eddie Royal, an undersized WR drafted in the second round out of Virginia Tech, has enjoyed a spectacular start for the surprisingly potent Broncos. ... They won the turnover battle, committed only two penalties and outgained Indy 180-25 on the ground. So just how did the Vikings manage to blow a 15-0 lead at the Metrodome? ...more
