TJ's Take on Week 10

Here's my quick review of everything we saw in Week 10 of the 2005 NFL season:

TJ's Top 10
Team	W-L	TJ Says
1. Colts	9-0	Headed to Cincinnati after latest win over Texans.
2. Broncos	7-2	Mike Shanahan now 16-5 lifetime vs. Raiders.
3. Panthers	7-2	Did what they had to do in stifling the battered Jets.
4. Steelers	7-2	Everyone took a turn throwing the ball for the Steelers.
5. Seahawks	7-2	Mike Holmgren's team completes a sweep of the Rams.
6. Bengals	7-2	Two wins away from their first winning season since 1990.
7. Cowboys	5-3	On their way to Philly, where they'll get no Brotherly Love.
8. Falcons	6-3	Falcons fall flat at home against fired-up Packers.
9. Giants	6-3	Mismatch in final numbers vs. Vikings, except for final score.
10. Chargers	5-4	Another week to rest from their season full of close calls.

Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander. Ran for 165 yards and three touchdowns as Seattle finally swept the Rams, 31-16.

Vikings S Darren Sharper. Totaled four tackles, knocked down five passes and grabbed three interceptions, returning one of those thefts 92 yards for a score as the Vikings shocked the Giants, 24-21.

Another gutsy call on the one-yard line by a head coach. Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden takes advantage of a Washington penalty and decides to go for a two-point conversion for the win instead of the tie in the final seconds (and gets its) as the Bucs edge the Redskins, 36-35.

The last team to open 9-0 was the Chiefs in 2003, who then suffered their first loss at Cincinnati. The 7-2 Bengals host the 9-0 Colts next week.
