Well, that was fun

If you thought you had a blast watching Sunday's heart-stopping victory, you should have seen the Glazer brothers on Sunday.

Just outside the locker room doors were three fist-pumping brothers -- Joel, Bryan and Avrum -- there to high-five and back slap practically every player on the team. It was as emotional as you've ever seen these guys, and they had good reason to be happy. You couldn't help but wonder what they wouldn't do for their coach right now (contract extension?).

And consider this: this team has pretty much assured itself of a home playoff game, which translates into a windfall of millions of dollars that weren't written into this year's budget. Kinda like getting a bigger-than-expected tax refund, I suppose.

This victory could also embolden the team, not just its ownership.

Victories like Sunday's bring a team closer together. And you could see that already happening in the electric locker room. Jon Gruden's energy was contagious. You could feel it in his players who suddenly feel like they can beat anyone. Lord only knows what his post-game speech was like. The coach was still beaming an hour after the game as I walked with him to the team bus. He knows his players are on board now. He has them in the palm of his hand.

The NFL is such a week-to-week business. But after this particular week, it kind of feels like anything is possible. Maybe this team we considered merely a decent team is actually a pretty good team after all.

Time will tell.
