Jake Delhomme Responsible For Yet Another Panthers Loss & Other Football News

Jake Delhomme was up to his old tricks again, as he was responsible for another Panthers loss Sunday.  Delhomme exhibited his tendency to let the opposing team back in the game by throwing bad interceptions, including the pick six by Captain Munnerlyn.  After the game Delhomme, who is one of the game's nicer guys, said, "Man, it sure feels great to get a win!  I was kind of confused for a while because I am so used to playing for [the Panthers] and I'm used to throwing to the other team.  During the whole game I felt like I was still on Carolina.  That's why I hadn't thrown any picks.  When the second half started, I still thought I was on the Panthers and realized that was who I needed to throw the ball to.  When [Carolina] got that touchdown I was like, 'Alright!', but Peyton Hillis smacked me upside the head and told me to throw it to the guys in the brown shirts.  So I just pretended I was on the Panthers again so I would throw it to the other team, which in this case is my team.  The Browns."

When asked if this win felt any different, Delhomme said, "No, but hopefully the fans in Charlotte realize it wasn't my fault after all."

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson dropped what would have been a game winning touchdown pass during overtime of Buffalo's 19-16 loss to Pittsburgh.  After the game, Johnson tweeted that the drop was God's fault.  God tweeted back: "OMI!  ROTFLMAO at your butterfingers!  O yeah U R going 2 Hell now."

Norv Turner's unconventional plan to go ahead and get all the losses over with at the beginning of the season, close strong to make the playoffs is once again working to perfection.  The San Diego beat Indianapolis to stay one game back of Kansas City in the AFC West.  The Chargers' win also helped create a four team log jam for the final playoff spot with five games to go.

Speaking of Indianapolis, Peyton Manning struggled for the second straight game.  Against New England last week, Manning threw three interceptions.  Last night San Diego intercepted Manning four times, returning two for touchdowns.  Asked about his Vinny Testaverdeesque performance, Manning blamed the bad games on the movie Megamind.  "I've been doing a lot of promotional work with the movie and it has taken a lot of time that I normally devote to football.  Being the star of the movie is a lot of fun, but I need to get back to football."
