Week 15 Stumbles

An undefeated season isn't in the cards this year for Rodgers

The Green Bay Packers (13-1) hopes for a big ole goose egg in the loss column came to a close yesterday when the fell the the Kansas City Chiefs (of all teams; 6-8) 19-14.  The Pack lead 7-6 after a third quarter TD from Rodgers to Donald Driver but that's the best they could do as the Chiefs surged back with 13 second half points.  Although a bit of a let down for Packer fans, this could spell something great for this team who ended their 18 game win streak dating back to last year's playoffs.  Their season won't be defined by the first 13 wins but by these last few weeks and their performance in the playoffs where it looks like they'll be playing at home in the Green Bay winter.  As a motivator this could be a great sign for the Packers who have looked close to perfect for the entire season.

Not even the Almighty could lead Denver past Brady's Pats

Still sitting pretty at 7-2 as a starter, I'm sure Tim Tebow is still quite grateful to his savior for the season he's having as a Bronco.  Despite falling to 8-6 on the season, Denver still leads the AFC west, just a game ahead of Oakland and San Diego.  This might be a talking point for a lot of the Tebow skeptics but the Patriots are on a level above a lot of the Bronco's previous competition; the Pats rattled off 34 unanswered points on their way to the 41-23 victory.  Like Rodgers I believe that Tebow and more importantly the Broncos as an organization, will bounce back after this loss.  At Buffalo next week and capping the season off at Mile High versus the Chiefs, they have the opportunity to take hold of their own destiny and go into the playoffs with a full head of steam.

These two QBs have led their teams in admittedly different ways but it's easy to see their similarities as leaders.  They are field generals and while Rodgers leads with the air attack, Tebow takes to a more tank style ground and pound.  Whether teams finally found their weaknesses or the season is beginning to wear on them I can't help but feel like both squads will find a way to keep winning.
