Kuechly intercepted Palmer. Palmer has 3 interceptions on the day and somehow the Cardinals are still winning.

I think Woodhead could last until 35. Kevin Faulk lasted until 33/34 and never had Woodhead's speed. White guys tend to last longer. Yes he did have a big workload in college but hasn't even reached 300 carries in his pro career, so that will help him. Remember Riggins was a track guy who seemed like he didn't take football that seriously until he was older (while he was with the Jets, 2 200+ yard carry seasons there), had two knee surgeries back when one usually ended your career, and still lasted really long in the league, until 36 I believe.

Sproles who Woodhead is compared to, is 30 right now and doesn't look like he has lost a step.

The Broncos offense with Manning at the helm is simply unbelievable, an unstoppable machine!

The have out scored Dallas 28-3 after falling behind 14-0.

I gotta figure that (mostly) sumo line is going to be the downfall of the Broncos however.

Cowboys are actually whiter today as they start 2 whites on defense and 4 on offense.

Cam Newton just threw an interception in the red zone which was almost identical to Palmer's last interception. The jig is up.

If I were coaching the Cowboys, I'd try an onside kick and try and catch Denver napping. Otherwise, they gave their defense too little rest with that scoring drive. Worth a shot to keep Manning off the field.

Cole Beasly with a nice 23 yard catch for the Cowboys......almost scored. The affrolete covering him is still looking for his jock strap where Cole put a move on him coming off the line

after the unquestioned shunning/ignoring of so many talented White running backs (former record-setters and phenoms such as Brian Shay, RJ Bowers, Steve Bartalo, Luke Staley, Chance Kretschmer, Justin Beaver, and Nate Kmic and current talents such as Zach Line, Toby Gerhart, and the aforementioned names in this thread plus literally DOZENS more), i find myself wondering how the NFL will go about dismissing the talents of South Dakota State's gifted junior, Zach Zenner.

check out what this kid, who was completely ignored by every Division One program in the nation coming out of high school, has accomplished in just the past season-and-a-half:

- 2,044 yards rushing (6.8 avg) and 13 touchdowns; averaged 157.2 yards-per-game in 2012
- 858 yards rushing (6.6 avg) and 12 touchdowns; averaging 143.0 yards-per game (thru 6 games in 2013)
- five 100-yard games (and two 200-hundred yard games) so far this season (thru 6 games)
- nine 100-yard games (and three 200-hundred yard games) last year as a soph (13 games)
- averaged 42.8 yards on his 13 scoring runs in 2012 (electrifying big plays, anyone?)
- averaging 18.6 yards on his 12 scoring runs in 2013 (and a 23-yard receiving touchdown)
- ran for 183 yards (8.3 avg) and 1 touchdown (from 99 yards!) against Division I Kansas in 2012
- ran for 202 yards (9.6 avg) and 2 touchdowns (40 and 3 yards) against Division I Nebraska this season

but then again, we already know the answer. the "experts" will either claim that he is a fullback and say he's too small, or simply ignore him altogether after he runs "faster than expected" at his Pro Day, since he won't be invited to the Combine.

Romo just eclipsed 400 yards on the same play that Witten eclipsed 100 yards.

Witten just caught a touchdown pass. 7/121/1 now.

This game might end up being the game of the week. Good ol' fashion shootout. It's too bad da tight enz Julius Thomas has been the main beneficiary on the broncos offense.

agreed. it's especially annoying since they had two talented white TEs...

also, Welker, despite being under used in this game managed to score a short TD, his 5th game in a row and already has 7 on the year. We need some more Decker so he can get over a 100 yards and maybe another TD...

Go Broncos!

Manning is well ahead of pace to break Roger Maris' record of 61 touchdowns from way back in 1961. Historians may attach an asterisk to this mark because the modern era referees are using pink penalty flags.

give Romo credit. he's ON FIRE. it's hard to imagine him playing any better. and Witten is simply a (White) man amongst (black) boys out there.

Cole Beasley has looked explosive as hell in limited snaps.

Manning is amazing, although i'd obviously prefer him to be throwing balls exclusively to Decker, Welker, Tamme and Dreesen as opposed to the two Thomas brothers-but-not-related.

The black Broncos defense are so good they're crashing into each other. That's next level.

Romo with over 500 yards. Isn't this a career high? It seems to me like statistically this might be one, if not, the best season Romo has had so far in his career.

I wonder how long the panthers are going to keep trotting newton out there week after week?

Can anyone on either Dallas, or Denver tackle?

it's the best-ever total by a Dallas Cowboys quarterback, according to the announcing duo.

Sean Lee is all over the field, currently being credited by ESPN.com as having 14 total tackles (10 solo), including 1 tackle-for-loss.

the White talent on the field in this game is impressive.

Sean Lee is pretty much THE only defender out there... and I mean for both of these teams

I agree backrow. Sean Lee has been amazing. I'm rooting for Denver but this kid is everywhere. So athletic and his stamina is excellent.


Come on Manning. Let's get this win and stay undefeated!

with all the incredible affletes out there on these incredibly inept defenses, they fly with incredible speed all over the field A) to the wrong places, and B) into tackles of each other instead of the opposing offensive players.

with all these mistakes, it's no surprise they all have so much upside ... they could hardly do anything except get better.

That interception cost Romo and his team. That's a shame. I would have liked the game to have gone into OT so they could pad their numbers.
