It was an unusual feeling watching an NFL game from London, England here in the Eastern time zone. I know on the West coast its normal but on the East coast, I kept losing track of time thinking it was 3:30pm, not 12:30pm. It does seem like an NFL team in London is inevitable. When you look around Wembley Stadium, it is truly sold out and many NFL teams do presently have attendance problems. You add in television revenue and all marketing revenue possibilities and it is going to happen. As awkward as it was to be watching a live game at 9:30am in a good way, it was also awkward the way the Lions won the game with a missed field goal attempt and then a second chance due to a time count violation. Something is wrong with the way it happened. In New York, the Bills won 43-23 and I was surprised because I thought the Jets took a step forward after the New England game. What to do about Geno Smith is a problem question. Bill Polian had the logical and relevant comment that the Bills sat EJ Manuel and the Bills benefited with Kyle Orton. Can Michael Vick do what Kyle Orton did asap? He did play at a higher level than Smith but still gave the ball away three times. And trying to win in Kansas City next week is going to be a major challenge. In Tennessee, the Texans had the easiest win of the week (30-16) and Arian Foster had 151 yards on only 20 carries. DeMarco Murray is the number 1 running back of popularity across the NFL but Foster is quietly having a great year. For both players, all they have to do is stay healthy and hungry and the success will continue. Congratulations to Luke Willson of the Seattle Seahawks and his 23-yard touchdown reception to help win the game with 47 seconds left. There are a number of very good Canadian players in the NFL and Willson now is getting an opportunity and making the most of it. Having met him at the last Super Bowl in New York City, he is a good person and player. Well done, Luke. In New England, the win over Chicago was impressive with 32 first downs, almost 500 yards in offence and punting only once. It sets up the Broncos-Patriots game with the Broncos coming off two impressive games over San Diego and San Francisco. For both teams, perspective is needed. With New England, after struggling to beat the Jets, the win over the Bears was over a team that has dramatically regressed in a short period of time. And the Broncos played Charger and 49er teams that each were missing as many as five starters. That does not take away from this next game, its just that its not always who you play, it is when you play them and the circumstances involved. In Arizona, I was more impressed with the Eagles than the Cardinals for 521 reasons, as that is the number of yards the Eagles produced on a good Cardinals defence. The eagles are a speed and finesse team and when they play Dallas, it will determine the NFC East as they are a power and physical team. The dates coming up November 27th in Dallas (Thanksgiving) and December 14 th in Philadelphia. And finally, Monday night Football, Washington at Dallas.The fFirst half was impressive for Washington and you cant help but wonder if Robert Griffin III was at quarterback, the halftime score would have been more than 10-7. Brandon Merriwether was an impact player in the first quarter for the Redskins defense and 3rd down defence was excellent for the Redskins in the second quarter. The opening drive of the second half was also impressive with Alfred Morris key on an eight-play, 80 yard drive that took five minutes off the clock . For Dallas, two fumbles and two key inaccurate passes from Tony Romo killed drives and eliminated points. After the Redskins took a 10 to 7 lead, Dallas opening possession of the 3rd quarter was game-changing. Surprisingly, Dallas had trouble picking up the Washington blitzes on 3rd down and on that drive, Romo took an awkward hit directly on the back on 3rd down. Off he goes to the locker room for precaution and in comes Brandon Weedon. One handoff to DeMarco Murray and everything changed for Dallas again. Both of the Redskins young cornerbacks are playing very well, stopping Dez Bryant on back-to-back pass plays of four yards. Good blitzes and good cornerbacks for the Washington Redskins. So Brandon Weedon comes back and hits Jason Witten for a touchdown and then the pressure shifts back to Colt McCoy. But he takes a critical sack and Dallas gets the final chance to win. And back in comes Romo, trying for his 27th game-winning drive but he cant get it done. To overtime we go. Washington wins the toss and McCoy takes them to a three-point lead and Dallas cant convert on a 4th down. It was an excellent performance by McCoy and the two young corners of Washington.

The teams all-time leading scorer, DeRo has won everything there is to win in MLS. TAMPA, Fla. -- Colin Kaepernick wasnt interested in rating his performance. The surging San Francisco 49ers are hitting their stride at the right time, and thats what really matters to the young quarterback. Kaepernick threw touchdown passes to Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, then led a long, clock-exhausting, fourth-quarter drive that produced a field goal to help the defending NFC champions pull away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33-14 on Sunday. The third-year pros inconsistency has been an issue this season, however he protected the football and hurt the Bucs (4-10) with his feet as well as his arm in helping the 49ers extend their winning streak to four games. But was it his best performance? "I dont know," Kaepernick said. "Its another win for us though." Davis caught a TD pass for the fifth straight game and Michael Crabtree scored his first TD since returning from injury for San Francisco (10-4). Frank Gore rushed for 86 yards to go over 1,000 in a season for the seventh time. "Franks an amazing running back. I feel like hes the most underrated running back in the NFL. He does everything for our offence," Kaepernick said. "He runs the ball. If we ask him to block, he does it. If we ask him to catch a pass, he does it. What he means to this team and what he contributes really cant be quantified." Gore carried 22 times, hiking his season rushing total to 1,017 yards. "Its a blessing. Ninth year in the league. Every year I hear the doubters, you know, Can you still do it?" Gore said. "I take it one year at a time. My coaches still believe in me. This organization still believes in me." The 10-minute drive Kaepernick led to one of Phil Dawsons four field goals and steadied the 49ers after Tampa Bay pulled within 20-14. Kendall Hunter put it well out of reach, scooping up a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and diving 2 yards into the end zone for a touchdown. Meanwhile, the 49ers moved closer to a playoff berth. They began the day needing a win, plus an Arizona loss combined with a loss or tie by Dallas or Philadelphia to clinch a spot with two weeks left in the regular season. "This is when, as a team, you want to get good, this time of year. Were showing people that were taking steps," Gore said. "We still havent played our best game yet, and thats the scary part." Tampa Bay closed within six points on Mike Glennons TD pass to Tim Wright on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Bucs (4-10) didnt get the ball back until Kaepernick used 117 plays to move the 49ers 77 yards into position for Dawson to kick a 21-yard field goal that made it 23-14.dddddddddddd Kaepernick completed 19 of 29 passes for 203 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. In addition to hurting Tampa Bay with his feet by running seven times for 39 yards, he threw TD passes of 4 yards to Crabtree and 52 yards to Davis, who finished with five receptions for 79 yards. Glennon was 18 of 34 for 179 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. But the Bucs only managed 39 yards rushing and were limited to a season-low 183 total net yards. "Its a tough loss. A hard-fought game. Unfortunate the way it ended," Bucs coach Greg Schiano said. Vincent Jackson scored on an 11-yard reception to trim a 17-0 deficit to 10 points just before halftime. Glennons 24-yard pass to Wright finished a 10-play, 92-yard drive that gave Tampa Bay hopes of pulling an upset. But the Niners would have none of it. Kaepernick kept San Franciscos long fourth-quarter march going with a 12-yard pass to Crabtree on third-and-12, then scrambled for 10 yards on third-and-6 for a first down at the Bucs 19. The drive eventually stalled at the 3, where the 49ers settled for Dawsons kick. Eric Page fielded the ensuing kickoff, started up one side before heading across the field where he attempted to hand the ball to Russell Shepard on a reverse. Shepard lost the ball as he slipped to the ground, and Hunter made a nice to play to scoop it up on the run and score for a 30-14 lead. Crabtrees return from a torn right Achilles tendon that sidelined him the first 11 games of the season has given San Franciscos offence, last in the league passing yardage, a lift. The speedy receiver averaged 18 yards per reception in his first two games back and had five catches for 45 yards, including his first quarter TD on Sunday. Kaepernick set up the first score of the game with a couple of nifty third-down conversions, scrambling for 17 yards on third-and-8 on one and throwing 5 yards to Bruce Miller on third-and-3 on the other. ""Kaepernick really put on his cape. A couple of those conversions ... theres not a lot of people that can make those kind of plays that he was making with his feet, his arm and with his head," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Whos able to do that thats playing in this league? Very few guys." NOTES: Dawson extended his franchise-record streak of consecutive successful field-goal attempts to 24. ... Bucs DT Gerald McCoy had his eighth sack. ... Glennon was sacked four times. ' ' '
