Heroes Villains Osweiler shines Steelers D falters

Heroes Villains Osweiler shines Steelers D falters

Clayton Richard Jersey All season long, 's Marc Se sler will offer up his laundry list of heroes and villains from the week that was.Let's get down to it:Heroes1. Our Boy Brock: Starring in the game of the year, did more than just earn his second win as a starter against the on Sunday night. The fourth-year pa ser feels destined to go down as the answer to the trivia question: "Who got benched?" What we've seen for two straight weeks is a attack with a suddenly lively ground game and just enough through the air from their young leader. In the snowy Denver night, Osweiler finally hit for 36 yards down the sideline -- their first connection in 13 targets -- before drifting this pretty scoring pa s to to forge a lead with the clock ticking away:2. Matty Ice Age: No, not , who currently operates as a Turnover Robot 2.0 for the dwindling . Forty-year-old is our subject after guiding the to back-to-back wins. 's backup is 4-0 on the year and played his best game yet in Sunday's takedown of Tampa Bay. Despite zero help from Indy's ground game, Ha selbeck sat back and flung it to and , hitting his wideouts for a combined 209 yards and two scores off 14 grabs. His increased chemistry with playmakers is only helped by Ha selbeck's on-field smarts and poise. Score one for the blue hairs.3. Wilson Wings It: Seattle's big win over the came with a terrible fee: The lo s of playmaking tight end . That didn't slow down , though, as the 'Hawks pa ser ripped through Yangervis Solarte Jersey Pittsburgh for five touchdowns and 345 yards -- both single-game bests. Plenty of this had to do with a defense littered with i sues (more on that below), but it was promising to see the get hot as Wilson hit throws of 80, 36, 22, 21 and 16 yards. Graham caught four pa ses in the win, but his 55 yards per game and measly two scores all season project out to career lows as a starter. is a capable fill-in and Wilson proved Sunday that Seattle's pa sing attack can be more diverse than many believed.4. Fill-in-the-Blank Running Back: Think back to when the were 1-5 with ruled out for the year. Minus their All-Pro running back, this -led outfit was a candidate for football's most boring watch: Little through the air and maybe nothing on the ground. Instead, Kansas City's backfield depth has saved this attack, with and rotating in to punish opponents. With Charles on the field, Kansas City averaged 109.8 rushing yards per tilt. During the team's five-game win streak, though, the are pounding teams for 152.6 yards per outing. Throw in a big day from on Sunday and the loom as one of the AFC's most intriguing challengers heading into December.BONUS HEROES: Baltimore's and : Are you kidding me, Cleveland?Villains1.*Pittsburgh's Phantom Secondary:* The pa s rush of the has been frisky, but their weakne s is obvious. Pittsburgh can't Breyvic Valera Jersey stop quarterbacks from piling up ma sive numbers through the air. Before allowing Wilson to set career marks on Sunday, the Black and Gold inspired the to briefly name their starter after the club-hopping field general ripped Pittsburgh for 372 yards in Week 10. When the ' offense is healthy and humming Dalton Pompey Jersey , they can play with anyone -- and win -- but this pa s defense is a candidate to put Pittsburgh's season on ice.2. Zebra meltdown: After watching wideout draw a flag for illegal touching on a play that should have been called an incompletion, officiating guru Mike Pereira of FOX Sports admitted, "I don't know what to say anymore." He speaks for all of us. Pereira shines as one of television's on-air code-breakers paid to explain a weekly barrage of nonsense from the NFL's flock of zebras. Listen to Pereira unpack the madne s that unfolded in San Francisco:That first half sequence in was REALLY confusing.In this video, I try to make sense of it all. Mike Pereira (@MikePereira) 3. Hubris Pouring out of Central: Jeff Fisher has been full of hot takes on the mic in recent weeks -- shredding NBC's Rodney Harrison, baffling us with the debacle and creating a false-flag argument on Sunday over the "effort" of Marcus Stroman Jersey his players. He doesn't read Heroes Villains, so we're safe from his vitriol, but Fisher, at some stage, must be held accountable for a team that, well, STINKS. Fisher remains convinced that he can win in '15 with an offense from 1971. It's not a good week for Fisher or his wannabe-detective play-caller Frank Cignetti, who refuses to put his well-documented on the backburner. "Frank's completely lost track of reality," a source told Around the NFL on Monday. "He charted another Sunday red-eye to LAX, while mumbling about some mountainside hideout south of the city. 'That's where she is, I know it,' Frank told us. Man, Fisher's red-hot peeved. He can't believe his hand-picked OC would rather operate as a city gumshoe than call plays. It's gonna get real ugly here in January. I can promise you that."
