This game is a toss-up for me as both teams have a contingent of Polynesian players who are both fighting for first place in the AFC North division. Got caught watching the game and what a stunner! Both teams are tied right now with just field goals so far. Polynesian Bengals Jonathan Fanene and Domata Peko are having a great game too. Both defenses are critical to the game right now. The matchup between Steeler Chris Kemoeatu and Bengal Jonathan Fanene is something to see.

This game is all Pittsburgh Steelers as the defending Superbowl champs are fighting for the lead in the AFC North division. A good bunch of Polynesians are playing for them and unfortunately, none for the Broncos. Denver is on top the AFC West and attempting to spread their lead from the rest of the division opponents.
I’m rooting for the Steelers on this one because I love Troy Polamalu and the rest of the Polynesians on this great team! Go Steelers!

Reminder tonight on Monday Night Football (ESPN). At Miami, former Hawaii Warrior, Davone Bess, is slowly blazing his own trail. Polynesian defensive product, Paul Soliai, will continues to impress for a backup nose tackle position behind Jason Ferguson. Bess looked great so far as he gains Chad Pennington’s trust.
Bess may have to face the Colts Polynesian trio of MLB Freddie Keiaho, FS Aaron Francisco (BYU & Kahuku High Alumnus) and DT Fili Moala. They are all contending for starter spots so this game will be important in their quest to move up the depth chart. Francisco who was recently released from the NFC Champions Arizona Cardinals, will hopefully get some playing time.
