Around the NFL: Week 14

At the end of week 14, New England is currently ranked no. 1 in the NFL Power Rankings. Whoo! Let's go Pats! After ending the first half of the Monday night game against Houston Texans 21-0, the Texans tried to catch-up. They were not successful. Patriots ended up beating the 11-1 Houston 42-14.

Now you would think that there would nothing but celebration in Foxboro today, however that was not the case. New England placed Donte' Stallworth on Injured Reserve. Appartently, Stallworth suffered a high ankle sprain on the reception of a 63-yard touchdown. Donte' was watching the Pats vs Dolphins game in the stands. Of course after the foot injury that has placed Julian Edelman on the IR, Stallworth was signed again. According to Albert Breer, the Patriots are expected to re-sign Deion Branch for what seems like the millionth time this season. Can't wait for Branch to be back!

Pittsburgh Steelers seem to have a little bit of drama right now with Rashard Mendenhall. He apparently has been suspended for one game for not showing up at the stadium for last week's game against the San Diego Chargers. He's not been the healthiest this year either. Mendenhall is scheduled to be a free agent at the end of this season. Things aren't looking good for Rashard as a Steeler right now. But who likes the Pittsburgh Steelers anyway?
