Belichick a Gambler??

I'm just saying, you're up by 10 with a minute left and the Patriots go for it on 4th a goal from the 5. No big deal until you remember the spread was 17 points. But the real question is whether Browns tight end, Kellen Winslow bet on the Patriots too, or if Belichick just had some dirt on him? One play after the Patriots fail to convert the 4th down, Winslow fumbles a completed pass that the Patriots returned for a touchdown to push(or cover if you got a generous bookie) the spread.

Steelers also picked up a huge 21-0 win against the Seahawks, even more impressive considering they had 4 key starters(Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes, Troy Polamalu, and Casey Hampton) out with injuries. Now they've got two weeks to get healthy before traveling to Mile High to take on the Broncos. Davenport had two touchdowns, and even pulled off the "Heinz Hop", which he learned while playing in Green Bay with the Lambeau Leap. Although it wasn't really a hop, more of a "Heinz struggle to climb your chunky ass up endzone wall." I've got no complaints though, as long as he gets in the endzone, he can do whatever he wants to celebrate. The defining moment was the Steelers opening drive of the second half. 80 yards in 10+ minutes, and they kept the drive going through 3 big holding calls, including 2 that brought back big gains. The secondary absolutely shut down the Seahawks pass game, even though they were missing Polamalu and third cornerback Bryant McFadden. Big Ben looked fantastic, completing 13 straight passes at one point. While he was missing his top 2 receivers, he did great looking mostly to Heath Miller and Cedrick Wilson. Willie Parker also got back in the groove with 102 yards on the ground.

The defense was dominating. I already mentioned the secondary, but everyone looked solid in the shutout, holding Seattle to 144 total yards. The only disappointing moment was Ike Taylor who dropped two potential interceptions. He still ended up with one that kept the Seahawks from scoring at the end of the first half though, and his coverage was airtight, so I can't complain too much.
