Is Joe Flacco Ready for Sunday?
Recently, there has been a lot of controversy due to teammate safety Ed Reed's comment about Joe Flacco's performance last Sunday against the Houston Texans.
Reed said on national radio this week that his quarterback, Joe Flacco, "looked rattled" during their victory over the Houston Texans and that it "just didn't look like he a hold of the offense." Those comments were addressed to ESPN on Thursday.
"My teammates, I think and know they understand me as a player and as a teammate." Reed said. "I don't think they would take anything out of context what I said. If they do, it's got to be motivation to prove me wrong."
Flacco has a great opportunity to prove Reed wrong by stepping up against the Patriot's defense this Sunday—mainly their secondary because this seems to be the most vulnerable point of that defense. Flacco and the Ravens play at New England this Sunday and hope to stop Brady and their hot playoff run.

Was Tim Tebow Underestimated?
Thousands of fans screamed in pure excitement as Bronco's quarterback Tim Tebow threw an 80 yard TD pass to wideout Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime.
The heavily favored Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Broncos because they underestimated Tebow. With the Bronco's first overall rushing offense in the league, the Steelers dared Tebow to throw it deep—and he connected. Tebow finished with 316 yards passing against a pass defense that allowed only 171.9 yards during the regular season. After not allowing one pass yard in the first quarter, the Steeler's defense could not stop Tebow the rest of the game in single coverage.
After Pittsburgh rallied to tie the game in regulation, the Broncos won the toss and quickly won the game by catching the Steelers guessing once again. On the first play of scrimmage in overtime, the Steelers loaded the box and assumed the Broncos were going to rush the ball—think again.
Tebow made a play-action fake drawing in all defenders, which created enough space on a deep slant for wideout Demaryius Thomas to receive the pass. Thomas caught the ball at the Denver 40, stiff-armed cornerback Ike Taylor and outran everyone to the endzone for the game winning score.
The Steeler's were caught completely off guard as their season came to a end, but makes this team wonder if they should have approached playing Tebow in a different way. Only three words can come to mind—"It's Tebow time!"

Jeff Fisher Interviews with Rams
Former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher is interviewing with the Saint Louis Rams after meeting with the Miami Dolphins.
Unlike the Ram's former head coach Steve Spagnuolo, who held a record of 10-38, Steve Fisher offers plenty of head coaching experience who has an overall record of 142-120 and has coached four seasons with 12 wins or more.
Fisher has the option to either coach for the Dolphins or the Rams, and seems to be leaning towards the Rams coaching position due to better benefits. The Rams organization has a franchise-caliber quarterback in Sam Bradford and the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft, which only calls for more improvement and success in the near future. But the Dolphins have more money to offer Fisher, so his final decision is still unknown.
Fisher has coached for the Titans for 16 seasons before being fired in January of 2011. It will be interesting to see which team Fisher will coach for, and how successful he will be with this new franchise.
