Second look: Ravens impressed most this weekend
Five things I thought about while watching wild card weekend: 1. The Ravens stood out to me, especially on defense. I've said before that Ed Reed seems to be in the middle of every pass break-up in a Ravens game,...
John's Top 10 teams right now
I know there are 12 playoff teams, but the format has been John's Top 10, so I'm sticking with that for the postseason and I will live with the fact that Arizona and Minnesota get left out. The Colts have...
John's Top 10 teams right now
It's tough to get a handle on the playoff picture after the Titans and Giants both rose from slumps and beat hot teams last week, and when the Colts and Chargers -- who appeared to be on the verge of...
Colts-Browns: Postgame
Colts 10, Browns 6 Notes: -- The last time the Browns gave up as few as 26 points in back-to-back losses was 1985, when they lost to Washington 14-7 in Week 8 and Pittsburgh 10-9 in Week 9. They finished...
Colts-Browns: Third quarter update
Browns 6, Colts 3 Notes: -- The Browns stretched it to seven straight quarters without a touchdown, but they still lead thanks to the defense. Brandon McDonald made a nice play to intercept Peyton Manning on the Colts' first play...
Colts-Browns: Halftime update
Browns 6, Colts 3 Notes: -- One of the criticisms of the Browns' coaching staff this season has been play-calling. On their second series, which overlapped the first and second quarters, the Browns reached first-and-goal at the Indy 9 on...

John's Top 10 teams right now
1. N.Y. Giants (10-1) -- Somewhere in Jersey Tom Coughlin wakes up in the morning and asks, "Explain to me again how we lost by three touchdowns to these guys?" (Last week: 1) 2. N.Y. Jets (8-3) -- In New...
John's Top 10 teams right now
1. N.Y. Giants (9-1) -- Amazing what a disciplinarian coach, a steady, no-frills quarterback and a great defense can do these days. (Last week: 1) 2. Tennessee (10-0) -- Now if we could just get Jeff Fisher to grow out...
John's Top 10 teams right now
1. N.Y. Giants (8-1) -- No, I have forgotten about the Titans. But the G-Men have won in Philly, Pittsburgh and Dallas, and winning big road games is what it's all about in the NFL. 2. Tennessee (9-0) -- I...
Colts at Steelers: Third quarter update
Steelers 17, Colts 17 Notes and observations: -- The Colts' offense came out with a lot more rhythm on their opening drive of the quarter. Payton Manning looks more comfortable than he did in the first half completing short passes...
Colts at Steelers: Halftime update
Steelers 17, Colts 14 Notes and observations: -- The Steelers' flea flicker looked like something a youth football team drew up in the dirt and it almost blew up two different ways. Ben Roethlisberger had to sidestep onrushing Colts LB...
Colts at Steelers: First quarter update

Checking in from Heinz Field, where the big news is that Ben Roethlisberger is active and apparently will start at quarterback against the Colts today. Roethlisberger was not among the inactives distributed in the press box, and there was no...
