What about Bob?

Jet of the week: Shaun Ellis, DE. It’s been a difficult last couple weeks for Ellis, mostly of his own doing. Arrested for marijuana possession and driving without insurance, Ellis created a positive vibe on the field with his fumble return for what proved to be the winning touchdown in the Jets’ win over the hapless Bills.

Giant of the week: Mathias Kiwanuka, DE. Really not many bright spots in a dispiriting prime time loss to the Cowboys, but Kiwanuka did his part by applying consistent pressure on Tony Romo and combining on a sack/safety that momentarily gave the Giants life late in the fourth quarter.

Offensive player of the week: Tarvaris Jackson, QB, Vikings. Replacing the injured Gus Frerotte, the oft-maligned quarterback threw four touchdown passes in a 35-14 rout of the Cardinals on the road.

Defensive player of the week: DeMarcus Ware, LB, Cowboys. Desperately in need of a win, Ware set the tone early by getting to Eli Manning and helping the Cowboys to a whopping eight sacks. He finished with three sacks.

Coaching second-guess: Dick Jauron, Bills. The Bills had a chance to run out the clock by keeping the ball on the ground against a Jets’ defense that couldn’t contain tailback Marshawn Lynch. So what does Jauron do? He puts the ball in QB J.P. Losman’s hands and saves the Jets’ season. Abram Elam sacked Losman and forced a fumble that was recovered by Ellis and returned for the winning score.

Worst quarterbacking we’ve seen in a long, long time: Losman. Oh, my goodness. He made Ryan Leaf look like a Hall of Famer. Four turnovers in the fourth quarter. Are you serious?

Oh, how it hurts to be a Raiders’ fan stat of the week: With yesterday’s blowout loss at home to the Patriots, the Raiders insured at least 11 losses for the sixth consecutive season. That, ladies and gentlemen, is hard to do.

Comeback player of the week, Part 1: Philip Rivers, QB, Chargers. Down 21-10 heading into the fourth quarter, Rivers rallied the Chargers with two TD passes in a 22-21 that kept the Chargers’ slim playoff hopes alive.

Comeback player of the week, Part 2: John Abraham, DE, Falcons. His remarkable season continued yesterday with three more sacks in a huge 13-10 home win over the Bucs in OT.

The Who-Cares Team of the Week: Seattle. With a bunch of teams playing for nothing but pride, the Seahawks came from behind to beat the Rams on the road, 23-20.

Heavy heart award: Matt Cassel, QB, Patriots. Playing just six days after the passing of his father, Cassel threw four touchdown passes to help New England stay even with the Jets and Dolphins for the top spot in the AFC East race.

Unsung coaching award: Tony Sparano, Dolphins. To have the Dolphins at 9-5 and tied for the divisional lead heading into the final two weeks is a testament to this guy’s ability. That 1-15 season seems like 10 years ago.

Replay controversy of the week: At the end of the Stillers-Ravens game, the Stillers were awarded a TD after replay overturned the official’s ruling that Santonio Holmes had not scored a TD on a reception from Ben Roethlisberger. Referee Walt Coleman ruled the ball had crossed the plane of the goal line as Holmes established possession.

Play of the week: DeAngelo Williams, RB, Panthers. On a rushing attempt that looked like it was going for no gain, Williams somehow broke through the Broncos’ line for a 56-yard score.

Key injury: Albert Haynesworth, DT, Titans. He might miss the last two weeks with a sprained knee. If there’s one guy the Titans can’t afford to lose, it’s Haynesworth. They hope to get him back for the playoffs.

Dead team walking: Redskins. At 7-7 following a 20-13 road loss to the Bengals, it is over. Maybe for first-year coach Jim Zorn, too.

NFC East dragon slayer award: Bengals. For a team that has won only twice all season, the Bengals have inflicted some serious damage on the NFC East. A win over the Redskins. A tie against the Eagles. An overtime loss to the Giants. A down-to-the-wire loss to the Cowboys.

Streaking, Part 1: The Colts have won seven straight to get to 10-4 and put themselves in prime playoff position. More importantly, they have kept our Super Bowl pick of Giants-Colts in play.

Streaking, Part 2: The Lions are 0-14 and heading for NFL infamy. Home to New Orleans and at Green Bay. Not easy. Then again, the Saints and Packers are beatable. Gut feeling: Lions escape 0-16.
