There are three games late for today. The first one was between...
The Atlanta Falcons, and the hosting Seattle Seahawks. Marshawn Lynch got the Seahawks on the board first with his 1 yard touchdown run, followed by an extra point from Olindo Mare. Matt Ryan's pass to Jason Snelling for 3 yards and the touchdown, followed by an extra point by Matt Bryant was enough to tie the game for the Falcons. Bryant and Mare exchanged field goals, with Bryant true from 27 yards and Mare good from 38 yards. Atlanta took the lead when Ryan passed to Michael Jenkins for a touchdown of 24 yards before the half, followed by a Bryant extra point to make it 17-10. The Falcons jumped on a Matt Hasselbeck fumble, with Jonathan Babineaux recovering it and taking it in, followed by an extra point by Bryant, who added a 25 yard field goal to make it 27-10. Ryan then found Roddy White later in the third quarter, good for 5 yards, with Bryant providing the extra point. Trying to create a rally, backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst ran a touchdown in for a yard, followed by a successful two point conversion pass from Whitehurst to Ben Obomanu. This produced the final score of 34-18, improving Atlanta to 12-2, and dropping Seattle to 6-8.
The next game featured the New York Jets paying a visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brad Smith of the Jets opened the scoring early, returning the kickoff from Shaun Suisham 97 yards for the touchdown, with Nick Folk adding the extra point. Pittsburgh tied it with a touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Matt Spaeth, good for 9 yards, and Suisham's extra point. Folk and Suisham exchanged field goals in the second quarter, with a 25 yard shot from Folk answered by Suisham's 42 yard kick in the last minute of the half, leaving the game tied at 10. Rashard Mendenhall made it 17-10 for the Steelers with his with a two yard rush, followed by a Suisham extra point, but the game was soon tied with Mark Sanchez running it in himself from 7 yards out, followed by Folk's extra point. Folk added a field goal from 34 yards in the fourth quarter, and the Jets defense sealed the deal with a safety by tackling Mewelde Moore in his own end zone, producing a 22-17 final with the Jets on top. Both teams ended up at 10-4 at the conclusion of the game.
Lastly, we have the Oakland Raiders hosting the Denver Broncos. Jacoby Ford opened the scoring for the Raiders with a 71 yard touchdown rush, followed by a Sebastian Janikowski extra point. Tim Tebow found a couple ways to score touchdowns in his first NFL start, with a 40 yard run and a 33 yard pass to Brandon Lloyd, with Steve Hauschka adding the extra point. Michael Bush got Oakland back together with his 1 yard touchdown run, with Janikowski's extra point tying the game. Hauschka and Janikowski went on a kicking spree when the teams switched sides, with Hauschka getting two field goals from 46 and 35 yards, and Janikowski kicking three from 49, 35, and 47 yards. At the end of the third quarter, it was 23-20 in favor of Oakland over Denver. Jason Campbell extended the Raider lead when connecting for a touchdown with Marcel Reece for 73 yards, with Janikowski adding the extra point. Cutting it back down to a one-score game was Hauschka, kicking a field goal of 45 yards, but Correll Buckhalter got pinned in his own end zone on the next Bronco drive, and the Raiders nabbed a safety, making it 32-23. Bush added another 1 yard touchdown for insurance, with Janikowski's extra point making it 39-23, which proved to be the final. Oakland advanced to 7-7, and Denver fell to 3-11.
