Three observations …
• Steelers coach Mike Tomlin should have been flagged and deserves a big fine for being in the field of play and affecting the outcome of a return that would have been a touchdown by Baltimore's Jacoby Jones.
• Let's all relax and stop writing off Robert Griffin III at the grand old age of 23. He's having a bad season coming off major surgery. It happens.
• Scheme is being blamed for the Packers giving up 1,037 yards rushing in the past six games. But coach Mike McCarthy may have put it best when he said, "Scheme is not a crutch," while defending coordinator Dom Capers.
Two predictions …
• Even though the Bears have Josh "Nooooooo!" [see: Cardinals vs. Vikings, Week 17, 2003] McCown and his 2-0 career record against the Vikings, Chicago will lose 28-17 at the Metrodome on Sunday.
• Two weeks after beating the Chiefs in Denver, Peyton Manning will do it again in K.C. as the Chiefs lose their third in a row.
