Peyton Manning had a bittersweet homecoming in Indianapolis, and injuries to several key players could reshape the playoff picture. Here's what we learned in Week 7 of the 2013 NFL season:
As the NFL nears the halfway mark of the 2013 season, division races are starting to heat up in both conferences. Here are five storylines we're following this week:
After six weeks, there are only two undefeated teams left in the NFL. The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs have emerged as the best two teams in the league. But which of them is the better team?
Philip Rivers passed for 237 yards and a touchdown, and Nick Novak kicked four field goals as the Chargers beat the Indianapolis Colts, 19-9, in San Diego on Monday night.
Adrian Peterson took the field for the Minnesota Vikings game against the Carolina Panthers this past weekend with a heavy heart, following the murder of his two year old son. But should he have played so soon after such a tragedy in his personal life?
Jay Cutler passed for 262 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chicago defense intercepted New York's Eli Manning three times, as the Bears beat the Giants, 27-21, at Soldier Field on Thursday night.
Rookie quarterback Geno Smith threw three touchdown passes and helped set up the game-winning field goal, as the New York Jets beat the Atlanta Falcons, 30-28, at the Georgia Dome on Monday night.
The Denver Broncos are piling on points the way people pile on pounds during the holiday party circuit. And that does not bode well for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
