TITANS 25-REDSKINS 22 [Sportz this week 0-1, season 50-25]: Wow. I mean, this is about as disappointing as it can get. Wedged between games at the Giants and Colts, this was a must win. A must win against a team with a rookie QB and a team that hadn't won a game all year. Instead, the Redskins defense was embarrassed.....completely embarrassed. Travis Henry ran for nearly 200 yards and Vince Young, at times, looked like a 10-yr vet. What troubles me the most was that Clinton Portis rushed just 14 times. That's it?? In a game that was nip and tuck after an early 14-3 lead??
GIANTS 27-FALCONS 14 [Sportz 0-2, 50-26]: The Giants have officially become that team that you have no idea what to expect. They can look so bad....and then go into Atlanta and beat a very good Falcons team. Tiki Barber just burned Atlanta's defense.
COWBOYS 34-TEXANS 6 [Sportz 1-2, 51-26]: Okay, Terrell Owens' first two TDs were cool. But why was he in there on a goalline situation with a backup QB for his 3rd TD???? Is he that much like a child that he needs that to feel good?? What's that??
LIONS 20-BILLS 17 [Sportz 2-2, 52-26]: This was the week that Mike Martz remembered that Kevin Jones is a darn good running back. Congrats to the Lions on their first win.
SEAHAWKS 30-RAMS 28 [Sportz 3-2, 53-26]: What a game. What a game! The Rams owned this thing in the first half.....and Seattle took it from them in the 2nd half. That Torry Holt catch was magical, especially if you saw how bad the Rams offense was in that half. Still, Seattle marched down the field and hit a huge game winning FG as time expired. Wow....what a game!
SAINTS 27-EAGLES 24 [Sportz 3-3, 53-27]: Another game that went down the wire. This was a huge win for the Saints, who got a key conference win which kept them in first place in the NFC South. Joe Horn, welcome back, man.
BUCCANEERS 14-BENGALS 13 [Sportz 3-4, 53-28]: Two things.....yes, that was a TD....and, no, that wasn't roughing the passer. But here is a little secret Bengals fans: they've been calling this kind of stuff all year. Sure, it seems to be a great football play....but the league has been over protecting the QBs this year and I've seen less violence on a QB flagged. I agree with the fact that it shouldn't be a penalty, but I've accepted the fact that it is the way the refs are calling the game now.
PANTHERS 23-RAVENS 21 [Sportz 3-5, 53-29]: That was impressive. Carolina's offense just beat up the Ravens vaunted defense. Delhomme was happy to see Steve Smith again as they made big play after big play together. The Ravens are in a bit of trouble, given the stretch of games they are now in.
JETS 20-DOLPHINS 17 [Sportz 4-5, 54-29]: Who cares?
STEELERS 45-CHIEFS 7 [Sportz 5-5, 55-29]: They're baaaaack.
CHARGERS 48-NINERS 19 [Sportz 6-5, 56-29]: This sure made up for that beatdown in Super Bowl XXIX, eh?? Stupid LaDainian Tomlinson scored FOUR TDs.
BRONCOS 13-RAIDERS 3 [Sportz 7-5, 57-29]: I thought these games were supposed to be good?? Jake Plummer looked horribe and still won.
BEARS 24-CARDINALS 23 [Sportz 8-5, 58-29]: What a comeback by the Bears....who seem to be on this magical journey. Three defensive/special teams TDs in the final 20 minutes of the game. Unreal!
