Ravens linebacker Bart Scott drives Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to the ground during Baltimore's 27-0 win on Sunday. AP

7. I think this is what I liked about Week 12:

a. Best team of the day: Baltimore. Nine sacks of the Steelers. Held them to 172 yards, 21 rushing. Kept the ball for 35 minutes. They're starting to look like the old Ravens, the Super Bowl Ravens.

b. Bart Scott's sack of Ben Roethlisberger. "Probably the hardest I've ever been hit in my life,'' Ben said. You'll cringe at the highlight.

c. It didn't pay off in a win, but Leinart was pretty dogged and decent in Minnesota.

d. The Pats are gritty. They're also making far too many mistakes.

e. Buffalo punter Brian Moorman, who, kicking in the Hades of all NFL environs, is threatening to become the first punter ever to have a season with a net average of 40 yards per punt. He's at 40.68. Another strong day against the Jags.

f. Speaking of Bills coming through against Jacksonville, J.P. Losman looked poised, sharp and accurate in the clutch. He's not out of the woods yet, though. Still too inaccurate.

g. I know Jason Campbell was just 11-of-23, but he threw four or five clutch passes that made the Redskins enter December with some hope they're on the right offensive road.

h. Bud Adams is sure happy he forced Vince Young on his football people now.

i. Every time I look up, Kerry Rhodes, the Jets' precocious safety, is making a play.

j. Chad Johnson's last three games: 573 receiving yards.

k. Why do players seem to like playing for Brian Billick? Here he is, in a very short week, with a road game Thursday against Cincinnati, and he gave his team off today and Tuesday morning. Players don't have to be in until noon Tuesday, and they'll be leaving a little more than 24 hours later for Cincinnati.

l. Willis McGahee had a heck of a day, even though he rushed for only 63 yards. He made a great blitz pick-up block on the Bills' first scoring drive.

8. I think this is what I didn't like about Week 12:

a. It's not that I feel bad for Jake Plummer, because he's had plenty of chances to keep his job, but his mates didn't do him many favors on Thursday night. On the first series of the fourth quarter, Denver down 16-10, Mike Bell dropped a Plummer pass that was a sure 15-yard gain on the first play, Javon Walker dropped a throw on a quick curl on the sixth play, followed quickly by a catchable throw sailing right through the hands of Damian Nash. Punt.

b. How many drops is Terrell Owens going to have before someone, anyone says he's having a lousy season? OK, I'll say it. His 61 catches and eight touchdowns might be nice for fantasy players, but in real life, he's having a C-minus season. Waaaaay too many drops.

c. Michael Jenkins' hands. Just awful.

d. Roddy White's hands. Maybe worse. "We have three first-round draft choices at wide receiver and none of them can catch the ball,'' Blank told Tony Siragusa after the game.

e. Vick's middle fingers. The extension of said fingers at jeering fans after the game in Atlanta will cost him an NFL fine of $5,000 for a first offense regarding obscene gestures.

f. Vick's words: "I can't explain how I feel. Somewhere along the line, guys have to start catching the ball.''

g. Atlanta's last 19 games: 7-12.

h. Surprise! Jeff Garcia's not the answer!

i. Don't you get the feeling Roethlisberger wishes it was Jan. 1, 2007, the day after the season?

j. Jacksonville. Weird team. Crushed the Giants and Jets. Lost to Houston, Houston and Buffalo.

k. Eagles looking very 7-9ish right now.

9. I think this is what you need to know about the Chicago Bears: In their last six games, they've turned it over six times once and survived, incredibly, winning at Arizona 24-23; turned it over six times again and got whipped by Miami; and turned it over four times and lost at New England. This team will go as far as Rex "Riverboat Gambler'' Grossman will take them. And right now, that might well be a playoff loss to Dallas or Seattle.

10. I think these are my non-football thoughts of the week:

a. I've never carved such a big bird as the one I sliced up on Thursday, which reminds me to be extraordinarily thankful for everything I have in life. Corny. True.

b. No global warming, huh? Why will we be able to go tanning outside today in New Jersey? And why, on the last day of the 11th month of the year, will it be 66 degrees outside?

c. Saw Lucky Number Slevin. Aside from some ridiculously violent violence, an interesting story. Bruce Willis, who I don't like usually, was good.

d. Coffeenerdness: Witnessed the most insane Starbucks order I'd ever heard the other day. "Grande white mocha with five Equals,'' a woman in front of me said. OK. The white mocha, with whipped cream and whole milk and sugar-bomb-lethal syrup, is 510 calories. And then you put in five packets of sugar substitute?

e. I can't get past the Wednesday New York Times crossword. Usually I can't finish that one either. Shameful admission.

Who I Like Tonight, and I Mean Tony Kornheiser

Extrapolation of the Week: Seattle's on TV today. Must be a Matt Vasgersian game. Aren't they all? Three times in the past month -- Seattle at Kansas City, St. Louis at Seattle, Seattle at San Francisco -- Vasgersian has done the Seahawks, and I'm sure Mike Holmgren looked around during the production meeting over the weekend with the TV people and said, "Matt Vasgersian, Matt Vasgersian. Anyone seen Matt Vasgersian? Isn't he our play-by-play guy? I need my Matt Vasgersian security blanket."

Oh, Holmgren finally realizes -- this isn't a FOX game!

All right, now for the game. The ESPN game. Brett Favre starts his 252nd consecutive game, sore funny bone and all, and has to throw 45 balls because the Packers are behind early and often. Good for chasing Dan Marino's all-time touchdown record. Favre, at 409, is 12 touchdown tosses from breaking Marino's record of 420, and he'll have to average two a game for the rest of the year to get there. I don't like his chances -- at least in 2006 -- to get it. But tonight, with Ahman Green (knee) and Vernand Morency (back) expected to play with lingering injuries, look for Favre to dominate the game for Green Bay on offense.

But it won't be enough. Student outplays mentor, with Matt Hasselbeck, in his first game back from a strained knee ligament, out throwing Favre three touchdowns to one.

Seattle 31, Green Bay 16.
