His tenure started with a bang. Down Goes Cutler, in a way, is what should have rang in the ears of NFL fans everywhere.
Of course, you had your Jay Cutler haters, who shrugged off the bold move by new head coach, Josh McDaniels, to challenge the rising superstar quarterback.

We learned a few things in Week 16.
The New Orleans Saints didn't just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, "Who can't?".

Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL.
The team that was openly vocal about aiming for a 16-0 season, the New Orleans Saints, was handed it's first loss in Week 15, while the team that was quiet and disciplined, the Indianapolis Colts, continued it's march for perfection.
