Instant reactions: week 10

We're already through with 10 weeks of the NFL season? Here are recaps and reax for your viewing pleasure.

Minnesota 34, Washington 27
And here I was thinking the Redskins had a shot. They practically have to win out now.

Seattle 33, Atlanta 10
Russell Wilson and the Seahawks got their revenge for the NFC divisional round. Of course, this Atlanta team isn't quite the Falcons squad of 2012.

Detroit 21, Chicago 19
I'm a little surprised Chicago hung in this one. But it's a division game, so you know both teams had to give it their all.

Philadelphia 27, Green Bay 13
Good things happen when Nick Foles touches the ball. Of course, if memory serves me correctly, Mike Vick started off the season really well, too.

St. Louis 38, Indianapolis 8
Holy Luck! Andrew's boys were utterly decimated at home. Looks like they didn't really make plans for this one.
Giants 24, Oakland 20
As poorly as the Giants' season started, New York has won three straight and is tight in the NFC East hunt.

Pittsburgh 23, Buffalo 10
Nobody thought Buffalo would win this game before the season started, but I'm not sure anyone would have expected the two teams to be a combined 6-12 coming out of it.
Jacksonville 29, Tennessee 27
Jake Locker got hurt again, and Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for a 111 passer rating in his stead. Something is wrong with this Titans team, and it's not the quarterback position.

Baltimore 20, Cincinnati 17 (OT)
The Bengals are trying really hard not to win the AFC North.

Carolina 10, San Francisco 9
This will be the New England-Indianapolis or San Francisco-Dallas of the 2010s. These are two good teams that have bright futures. It will be fun to watch.

Denver 28, San Diego 20
Peyton Manning has thrown 34 touchdowns in nine games. This puts him breaking Tom Brady's single season record in the second quarter of his week 15 game. He's currently on pace for 60 touchdowns this season.
Arizona 27, Houston 24
Case Keenum has a bright future. His present is currently being diminished by Wade Philips.
New Orleans 49, Dallas 17
A tale of two Panthers: Eastern Illinois product Sean Payton just coached a league-record offensive performance. Eastern Illinois product Tony Romo was 42 percent passing with just 10 completions for 128 yards.
Tampa Bay 22, Miami 19
The happiest team in the AFC tonight is Baltimore. They just took a one-game lead on literally everyone else in the hunt for the final wild card spot, because literally everyone else lost.

Clayton's fantasy update:
It was a spectacular fantasy football weekend. Fear The Llama defeated Turtle Power and the league admin by 91.8 points to take first place in the division in the adjusted league. Drew Brees led the way with 35 points, and every single slot besides tight end earned double-digits.

Romo No-mo wasn't quite as dominant, but got a solid rivalry win over the Leningrad Red Army. No-Mo swept the Red Army for the first time since the two team's owners began playing fantasy football against each other five or six years ago. The Orange M's hold a 1.5-game advantage for second place in the division in the standard league, with the head-to-head tiebreak over Leningrad should it come to that.
