There are just two more weeks to go in the 2012 NFL season, and several teams can claim playoff berths with a victory this Sunday. Here's a preview of all of this week's action:
Chris Johnson ran for 122 yards, including a 94-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and the Tennessee Titans held on to beat the New York Jets, 14-10, in Nashville on Monday night.
The New England Patriots are planning a tribute for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary Schoo tragedy. In addition to wearing their own decal, the Patriots will send up 26 flares, one at a time, during a moment of silence at Gillette Stadium prior to Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The flares represent an individual memorial symbol for each person who lost their life on Friday
The New England Patriots have not lost a game since mid-October and seem like a lock for the postseason. Will they get another Super Bowl victory this year?
