GIANTS 19-REDSKINS 3 [Sportz this week 0-1; season 37-24]: The Skins were about as lifeless as you can be. For some reason, the G-men do that to us. We were bad all the way around. Their offensive line bullied us and their defensive line played pretty well. Of course, LaVar Arrington got his revenge on the Skins with a tipped pass....I mean, that was great [get your sarcasm detector out].
COLTS 14-TITANS 13 [Sportz 1-1, 38-24]: Speaking of lifeless: The Colts just sleepwalked thru this game, it seemed. They can't be doing this crap and expect to be a Super Bowl calibar team.
RAMS 23-PACKERS 20 [Sportz 2-1, 39-24]: Don't look now, but the Rams are 4-1. Green Bay did what it does best - keep it close before screwing it up.
BEARS 40-BILLS 7 [Sportz 3-1, 40-24]: Chicago looks like the best team in the NFL right now. Not that Buffalo is a great team or anything, but their defense is slightly tough. But Chicago made them look like the NCAA's Buffalo Bulls instead.
PANTHERS 20-BROWNS 12 [Sportz 4-1, 41-24]: Carolina's defense looked much better this week....but the offense is still having issues running the ball and moving the ball. They've won 3 straight, but haven't really looked to convincing in doing so.
SAINTS 24-BUCCANEERS 21 [Sportz 5-1, 42-24]: What's more surprising: the Saints at 4-1 or the Buccs at 0-4?? There is always that one team that you figured we be pretty good that just tanks out when the season starts. Tampa seems to be that team. The Bucs have already lost to Atlanta, Carolina and now New Orleans.
PATRIOTS 20-DOLPHINS 10 [Sportz 6-1, 43-24]: Miami is also one of those flailing teams. They were in this game for quite a while until a bogus pass interference call put New England on the 1 yd line. Still, this team is in a ton of trouble and could teeter over if the players tune out Nick Saban.
VIKINGS 26-LIONS 17 [Sportz 7-1, 44-24]: See if you heard this before: the Lions were in this game, even winning late, until they handed the game off to Minnesota. No, they really HANDED the game to the Vikes. Two horrific turnovers by Jon Kitna late in the game led to two defensive TDs for Minnesota.
NINERS 34-RAIDERS 20 [Sportz 8-1, 45-24]: When the Niners are rolling you up....you really suck!
JAGUARS 41-JETS 0 [Sportz 9-1, 46-24]: This one got out of hand early. The Jets were thoroughly spanked in every possible way. And it would have been worse if the dogs hadn't been called off.
CHIEFS 23-CARDINALS 20 [Sportz 10-1, 47-24]: Both Damon Huard and Matt Leinart looked good in this game. The difference was Larry Johnson's receiving ability [though he was knocked out of the game with a neck injury].
EAGLES 38-COWBOYS 24 [Sportz 11-1, 48-24]: This game was actually pretty bad. Yeah, there were some big plays and electric energy....but it was a poorly played game. Dallas blew coverages all day long. Drew Bledsoe couldn't stay on his feet...and when he did, he couldn't figure out how to pass the ball. Of course, the story of this game was how Donovan McNabb went off....and Terrell Owens was shut down. And while Donovan was on one sideline smiling.....T.O. was busy yelling at everyone on his sideline. It couldn't happen to a better team.
CHARGERS 23-STEELERS 13 [Sportz 12-1, 49-24]: Philip Rivers actually had to be a QB in this game. Trailing 10-0, young Rivers led the Chargers to a 23-3 run to end the game....making some pretty big plays in the progress. As Madden said after the game, this is his coming out party. On the other side, Big Ben and the Steelers are in trouble. Now 1-3, they could trail the Ravens by 3.5 games by the end of the week.
