Trust is tough to find and tougher to hold in this crazy, unpredictable world, but with the Seattle Seahawks, I really thought we were good.Coming off three straight wins -- one of which was in Foxborough -- with Russell Wilson looking healthy, Thomas Rawls back and the offensive line showing signs of coming together, the Seahawks looked like the rare NFL team we could trust. Fire em up in Tampa: Start all of your Seahawks in fantasy, feel good about it. They lost 14-5.Its like going away and leaving your teenager to watch the house. Youve done it before for a night here or there, because hes a good kid and you feel sure hes ready for the responsibility. Then you come home and there are beer cans everywhere, the garage has a chunk out of it at the exact height of the cars rear bumper, and somehow, someone managed to put a whole toilet on the roof.Im not mad, Seahawks. Im just ... disappointed.Are the Seahawks one of the best teams in the league? I think so. Will they be better when Earl Thomas and Michael Bennett are back? Of course. Though I fail to see how that excuses the offenses performance Sunday against a bottom-10 defense. Does the win against the New England Patriots in Foxborough prove they can beat anybody, anywhere? Absolutely. But this is the third time in six road games this year that theyve failed to score a touchdown.The Seahawks get the benefit of the doubt because of what theyve done in past years. They could end up winning it all. But the fact is, theyve put as much hot garbage on tape this year as any other contender. And when it comes to the issue of trust, that puts the 2016 Seahawks in the wrong bucket.Heres what else we did and didnt learn in Week 12 -- on the question of trust:We can trust the Cowboys offense.The latest knock on the Dallas Cowboys, if Twitter is my guide, is that they havent beaten anybody good. This is unsupported by facts. Dallas past three wins have come against teams that have winning records. Two of those teams would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, and the other was a popular preseason Super Bowl favorite.Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington all looked like tough matchups for the Cowboys for different reasons. Could they come back if the Steelers got ahead of them? Could they figure things out if Baltimore made it tough for them to run? Could they outscore Kirk Cousins and Washingtons quick-strike pass offense? Check, check and check.Dallas may have question marks on defense, but its offense is identically efficient each week, devouring the clock and opponents souls with a relentless parade of first downs. That offensive line travels, and so by extension does that running game. Dallas might not win it all, but its offense is the most trustworthy unit in the whole league.We cannot trust Brock Osweiler.Which is trouble for the Houston Texans, who shelled out big bucks for Osweiler after Brian Hoyer betrayed their trust by choking away a playoff game with five turnovers. Osweiler was supposed to solidify things for Houston at the most important position, but he has played worse, statistically, than the gaggle of quarterbacks they dragged through the 2015 season. After throwing three interceptions in Sundays loss to San Diego, Osweiler is tied with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Blake Bortles for the league lead in INTs. Only six teams in the NFL have more turnovers this year than the Texans 19, and those teams have a combined record of 15-52. The state of the AFC South gives Bill OBrien time to turn Osweiler around, but if he doesnt, can we still trust OBriens reputation as a quarterback whisperer?Can we trust the Giants are as good as their 8-3 record?According to ESPN Stats & Information, the New York Giants victory in Cleveland was the first time in the past three seasons a team punted at least nine times in a game and still won by 14. The Giants have won six in a row, and they own the second-best record in the NFC.? But Sunday was the first time this year they won by more than a touchdown, and their offensive players admitted after the game that they need to be better. Already ensured of their best season since 2012, the Giants have Pittsburgh, Dallas, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington to finish the season, and three of those games are on the road. Its easy to like what the Giants have done this year, but we may need a few more weeks before like can graduate to trust.The Patriots cant trust Rob Gronkowskis availability moving forward.It was very weird for the New England Patriots to put Gronk in Sundays game against the Jets after they were so concerned all week about exposing him to contact, and he didnt last long. He went into the game with what they said was a chest injury, left it with what they said was a back injury, and after a clear setback in a game he probably would have done well to miss, you have to think the Patriots play it safe this week and sit Gronk out until hes healthier. What that means going forward, as New England works to fight off the Raiders and the rest of the AFC West for the conferences top seed, is anyones guess. But Gronk does matter. Since Gronkowski entered the league in 2010, Tom Bradys touchdown-to-interception rate is 5.1 when Gronk plays, 2.6 when he doesnt. Bradys Total QBR drops from 80 to 65 when Gronk does not play.The Buffalo Bills are easier to trust when Sammy Watkins plays.Tyrod Taylors 114.6 passer rating and 82.2 Total QBR on Sunday were both season-high marks, and its no coincidence. Watkins was back in the lineup for the first time since Week 2. His presence frees things up for the rest of the offense, as LeSean McCoys huge game showed, and this is the first time Anthony Lynn has had Watkins available to him since becoming offensive coordinator in Week 3. Buffalo may have too rocky of a road ahead to reach the playoffs, but theyre going to be a tough team to play the rest of the way if -- and yes, thats a big IF -- Watkins can stay healthy.No team trusts any player more than Arizona trusts David Johnson.If the Arizona Cardinals were a playoff contender, their second-year running back would be a leading MVP candidate. Johnson has scored 13 of the Cardinals 28 offensive touchdowns and has accounted for a league-high 37.8 percent of his teams total yards from scrimmage. (Ezekiel Elliott has accounted for only?33.5 percent of Dallas total yardage.) Johnson has at least 100 total yards in every Cardinals game this year. No one has ever had 16 such games in a season. Marcus Allen (1985), Edgerrin James (2000) and Barry Sanders (1997) are the only ones whove had 15. The Cardinals may be going nowhere, but its not for lack of Johnsons effort. He has been everything they imagined hed be and more. Cheap Adidas Jets Jerseys . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.

GREENVILLE, N.C. -- Only one thing stands between Navy and a division title -- an East Carolina team that the Midshipmen have dominated on the road.Navy will clinch the American Athletic Conferences West Division with a victory over the struggling Pirates on Saturday.First-year East Carolina coach Scottie Montgomery says hes using his teams spoiler status as motivation.Were going to try to pull motivation from everywhere we can get it from, Montgomery said.After beating Tulsa last week , the Midshipmen (7-2, 5-1) need only to beat East Carolina (3-7, 1-5) or SMU next week to wrap up the division title and a spot in the Americans title game on Dec. 3.Beating the Pirates hasnt exactly been much of a problem in Greenville: Navy has won both visits here by scores of 76-35 in 2010 and 56-28 two years later, averaging 516 yards rushing in those blowouts.And while Navys scheme remains the same, coach Ken Niumatalolo says those results dont mean anything this year.I dont know the reason -- we happened to play well those games, Niumatalolo said. Its a new year, new game, new team, new coach. ... Everythings different. I mean, we cant look at that. Im sure theyre not looking at it. The past is the past.The present has been rough for Montgomery in his first season as a head coach. The Pirates have lost two straight and seven of eight, and are coming off a 55-31 loss to SMU . East Carolina ranks 124th nationally in turnover margin, with 22 giveaways to just eight takeaways.Those are definitely things we are going to have to clean up if were going to move forward with everything that were trying to get done, Montgomery said.---Some other things to know about the Navy-East Carolina game:NAVYS OFFENSE: With their triple--option, ball-control offense, the Midshipmen always seem to rank among the nations best teams on the ground.dddddddddddd Navy is fourth nationally -- but behind the other two service academies -- with an average of nearly 310 yards rushing. This is going to be a possession game, Montgomery said. We can slow the game down, and we can speed the game up, but it comes down to possessions.ZAY DAY: East Carolina WR Zay Jones leads the nation in yards receiving (1,473) and receptions (139) -- and enters the Navy game needing just eight catches to break the NCAA career record held by a former Pirates teammate, Justin Hardy, who caught 380 passes from 2011-14. Its conflicting to start with because this isnt where we want to be, Montgomery said. There are a lot of things that we want to do better. In the middle of it all, I see the shining light that Zay has been in. I know its been tough for him and its especially tough when youre a senior.MIDS HEALTH: Niumatalolo says starting CB Elijah Merchant (head) is doubtful, RB Calvin Cass (ankle) is probable and FB Chris High (ankle) remains questionable. High, whose 71 carries are second only to QB Will Worth (215), started the first eight games but missed the Tulsa game.FULL OR HALF NELSON? Montgomery says QB Philip Nelson has been dealing with shoulder tenderness. Nelson was 11 of 19 for 144 yards with two interceptions, one returned 70 yards for a touchdown, in the loss to SMU. Gardner Minshew replaced him and was 18 of 30 for 170 yards with a touchdown and also threw a pick-six.---More AP college football: http://www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
