After two straight weak showings to end the 2009 NFL season, Vince Young has some explaining to do. Or, more importantly, some more doubters to prove wrong. Young took the league by storm with a sensational rookie season in 2006, when he scored 19 total touchdowns (seven rushing) and guided the ... Continue Reading

Brett Favre made his comeback worth while. He stared "late-season slide" talk straight in the face, and proceeded to throw six touchdowns and over 600 yards in his last five quarters. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning faded (along with their teams), as they spent their final weeks on the bench of ... Continue Reading
