This week in the NFL

What stood out in this week's games. Some obvious and some under the radar trends are starting to develop.
It is obvious now that the Houston Texans are a team that can't close the deal. In the first half they dominated and in the second half got dominated by the Indianapolis Colts. Only playing 30 minutes of solid football will never beat the Colts and if this trend continues for the rest of the year, look for Head Coach Gary Kubiak to become a coaching casualty.
As expected, the Chicago Bears and Jake Cutler continue to struggle. While it is easy to pick on Jake Cutler, the Bears need to look into getting the much maligned Quarterback more offensive weapons to work with.
The Colts and Vikings are generating headlines with their impressive season's to this point but flying under the radar is the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers dominated Kansas City today and are a team that in the past has had the Colts number in the playoffs. This is a team that shoud continue to improve and don't be surprised if finally make it to the superbowl this year.
The Philadelphia Eagles are another team that is getting somewhat overlooked. While they only beat the Redskins by 3 today, this is a team that has traditionally finished strong in December. It would not be a shock it they overtake the Dallas Cowboys to win the NFC East.
While the season is not over yet, my pick for rookie of the year at this point would be Houston Linebacker Brian Cushing in the AFC and Minnesota Wide Receiver Percy Harvin in the NFC.
