NFL Week 10 Late Games Scores and Recaps: Colts Upset Steelers
The Indianapolis Colts Aren't Dead Yet!
Two very exciting finishes, and then that other game.  Let's look:

Colts Top The Steelers 24-20: Often times, turnovers determine games.  And this one was no different.  The Colts didn't turn the ball over.  Ben Roethlisberger threw 3 interceptions, two which led to touchdowns.  Pretty much every other statistic was controlled by the Steelers.  Manning only was 21 for 40, but he had three touchdowns.  One of which set up by an interception late in the 2nd, and the other on an interception late in the 4th.

The Colts took the lead with 3 minutes left, Dominic Rhodes caught a TD pass.  And the Steelers had a chance at the end.  With one second left, they tried the 40 yard chuck.  Off the first deflection, it ALMOST fell right into Steeler Dallas Baker's hands.  But Melvin Bullitt grabbed it with one hand for the interception.  The Colts are now 5-4, still in the wild card hunt.  The Steelers are 6-3, tied with the Ravens for the division.

Panthers Win Awful 17-6 Game Against Raiders
: Here's how bad the Raiders are.  Jake Delhomme was 7/27, 72 yards, 4 Interceptions.  And the Panthers still won by two possessions.  The Panthers are a very sold 7-2, and the Raiders are 2-7.

Chargers Just Hold On Over Chiefs 20-19: Tyler Thigpen played the game of his life. 27/41, 266 and 3 touchdowns.  Two turnovers by the Chargers also kept the Chiefs in this game despite being outgained on the yard.  But special teams are huge.  Early on, there was a botched snap/hold on an extra point for the Chiefs.  That would be HUGE as the Chiefs would move down the field at the end.

The Chiefs got set up at the one on an AWFUL pass interference call.  Then, with 23 seconds left, Thigpen found Tony Gonzalez on a great catch for a touchdown.  If they hadn't missed the earlier extra point, they would've been able to win the game on the extra point.  Instead, Herm Edwards decided to go for the two point conversion instead of the tie.  Some would call it ballsy, some would call it stupid.  The play itself that was called was pretty crappy though, as it failed, and the Chargers barely managed to hold on, as Gus Johnson's head exploded in the booth.  The Chargers are 4-5, and the Chiefs are 1-8.

Another great week of football, and we've got a good one coming up here late.  NFL Football owns.

How's this for reverse stupidity. In the SF Bay area today, the Raiders game was "blacked out." As if anybody in their right mind here would have wanted to watch it. Instead, we had to watch the Colts-Steelers game. So Bay area fans were "punished" for not attending the Raiders game by having to watch a much better game. Let's hope this continues for the rest of the season. It's just too bad that 49ers fans keep buying enough tickets to avoid their being blacked out. Bring on that punishment, NFL.

Dont write off The Colts yet... they are a tough team when going on the night... they can win close games but the thing is can they make it to the Final again this year?... wait and see at the end of the season to see if The Colts make it to the Playoffs... I hope they do cause I only go for The Colts as I play them on the Gridiron game on the PS2. I bet alot of people have written off The Colts at the moment..... Win or Lose The Colts will keep coming back every week......I dont watch Gridiron on tv much cause of the time differance but I always watch the playoffs and the final.... oh and by the way... I am from New Zealand....

If Big Ben keeps turning the ball over on our side of the field we won't be around in the playoffs!

2 ints at the Steeler 30 and 32 yard line that result in touchdowns are not acceptable.

And I question the play calling..... the int with less than 2 minutes in the half; why is he passing when we should be preserving the lead!?!?!!?

Next up the Chargers.
