Game Breakers

ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown has a segment called Game Breakers near the end of the show, where each of the analysts pick a player or group of players that they think will have a great day and will bring huge success to their team. Just like the title, here are my game breakers for week 14.
______________________________________________________________________

1) Drew Brees will absolutely torch the Atlanta Falcons. Not only does he have the 3rd most passing yards in the league, but he's going up against the 4th worst pass defense in the league, giving up close to 255 yards a game through the air. Especially with his big-play receivers in Robert Meachem, Marques Colston, Lance Moore, and Jeremy Shockey, this game should be a big one for him.

2) When Ty Law was apart of the New England Patriots secondary, he was known for stifling Peyton Manning and getting the best of him whenever the Colts came to town. Now that he's apart of the Broncos, expect him to have the same success against the relatively inexperienced wide-outs like Pierre Garcon, who has played well, but not against a veteran like him. If they want to win, the Broncos need Ty Law and the rest of the crew to step it up against Peyton.

3) Adrian Peterson will not go anywhere today. With rookie sensation Percy Harvin out for this one, it doesn't come any more easier for AP, when he goes up against the best rushing defense in the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals, who have given up only 81.8 rushing yards per game.

4) The Ravens pass offense will have an early Christmas present. They are going up against the worst pass defense in the league, when Detroit comes to Baltimore, to what will most likely be, a beating of the Lions.

5) Running back Chris Johnson of the Titans is coming of a sub-par game in Indianapolis last week. This week, he's going up against the 28th ranked rush defense when they face the Rams of St. Louis. His chase for Eric Dickerson's all-time record took a hit last week, but that drive to beat it, plus the Titans' push for a playoff spot should make it all the worthwhile.

6) Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson should have an outstanding game when they face the Seattle Seahawks today. They are allowing more than 240 yards per game through the air, and when you have quarterback Matt Schaub at the helm, it's not surprising that they possess the 4th best passing offense.
