- That the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the unbeaten New England Patriots on December 9 at Heinz Field, instead of playing the game at Foxboro. After witnessing the messy scrum between the Steelers and the Miami Dolphins, it appears that the only way for the Patriots to literally slip up and lose would be the intervention of force majeure. And Goodness only knows what will happen to the Patriots when a similar thunderstorm strikes again.
- That the Philadelphia Eagles playing in their throwback uniform every week. Since destroying the Detroit Lions 56-21 in their throwback uniform in Week 3 (where running back Brian Westbrook and wide receiver Kevin Curtis both gained over 200 total yards), the Eagles have been stuttering since then. Was that really the Eagles? Or was it the reincarnation of something great in the past?
- That the Eagles sticking with A.J. Feeley as their starting quarterback. Stepping in for the injured Donovan McNabb, Feeley was looking great against the Patriots, but he did throw three costly interceptions which allowed the Pats to preserve their unbeaten record. Nevertheless, Feeley was showing outstanding poise and willing to throw downfield, something McNabb dares not to as he has the tendency of checking down to his running backs way too quickly. People have been expecting a quarterback controversy between McNabb and second-round pick Kevin Kolb this season, but no one expects one involving Feeley.
