Carl Weathers, master thespian and former Oakland Raider, watches every NFL game from his man cave to compile his weekly Power Rankings exclusively for Heckler readers. Despite playing in only 8 NFL games, he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980.
10 – New Orleans Saints Boondock Saints shoot down Bucs late, 16-14 in a game that obviously angered Zeus as lighting caused a long-ass delay. Jimmy Graham caught 10 passes for 179 and a score.
9 – Houston Texans Might need to call them the Houston Houdini after another magic escape. Arian Foster scores tying TD & 2-point conversion leading to OT winner by DeAndre Hopkins.
8 – San Francisco 49ers ‘Niners best shave all their eyebrows after that sorry-ass performance in Seattle. Up against the ropes all game and managing only a field goal, the defending NFC champs get 87 rushing yards from Colin Kaepernick and nothing else.
7 – Kansas City Chiefs It’s a masterpiece in K.C.! Good thing the Chiefs wear red, to hide the BBQ sauce on Andy Reid’s collar. Alex Smith passes for 223 and 2 TDs and also rushes for 57.
6 – Green Bay Packers Destruction of D.C. in Dairyland! This week’s Master of Disaster Aaron Rodgers throws for 4 TDs/480 yards in relaxing win over Washington (with the cholesterol level of those Pack fans any easy win is good for their blood pressure).
5 – New England Patriots The Chowder Crew starting to look as old as George Foreman! Tom Brady slugs through 15 rounds of Jets mess to earn 13-10 win (185 yards, 1 TD but 19 for 39 passing).
4 – Chicago Bears Grrrrrrrrr!!!!! Bears chew up Yo, Adrian! Peterson and mates 31-30 on a last-minute Cutler connection with TE Bennett.
3 – Seattle ‘Hawks It was so loud at CenturyLink Field I had to go to a silent count at the Weathers man-cave when signaling my butler to get me a beer. Marshawn Lynch earns his Skittles with 3 TDs in 29-3 KO of SF.
2 – Denver Broncos Only winners get wings! Peyton paddles Eli for 3rd straight time (307 yards & 2 TDs) in 41-23 win. Giant defenders had a better shot at catching O.J.’s white bronco than white Bronco receivers.
1 – Oakland Raiders Just Win Baby! Raiders chop down Jax with a steady dose of body blows & quick jabs. Darren McFadden ducks and dives for 129 in 19-9 decision.
Program note – The September 22nd edition of the untelevised NFL pregame show starring myself and Marv Levy hits the road with a visit to the New Jersey Meadowlands as Marv’s Bills take on the Jets.
