The St. Louis Rams contributed a whopping 3 points against the Chicago Bears, who only put up 3 points last week. Whats that say about you, St. Louis? Then again, I had St. Louis as my worst team in the NFL at the begining of the season. Marc Bulger lasted 5 plays before getting a concussion and it was all down hill for the Rams. Trent Green threw 4 interceptions (yeah, in the same game) before getting replaced by some other kid...Brock Berlin. 27-3, Bears.
Philadelpia Eagles, gave a generous 7 points toward the total. Last week, McNabb learned that an NFL game can end in a tie and it was evident that he never read the rule book (or watched a game). This week, it was evident that he has never read a playbook (or watched a game).McNabb was benched at halftime after three turnovers in the second quarter. His replacement Kold, was not any better, completing 10 of 23 passes for 73 yards and two interceptions...essentially the Ravens had no need for the alleged "number one rush defense" or any other defense for that matter. 36-7, Ravens.
Cleveland contributed 6 points and is listed here after the Eagles because, at least the Browns scored twice! Sage and Brady (don't they sound like snobby little girls?) each had to interceptions, but Brady Quinn was sent back where he belongs...the bench. I wonder if this week broke the benched QB record too? hmmm... 16-6, Houston.
Cincy pulled in a big 10 points against Pittsburgh. Speaking of the Steelers, I feel like I haven't written about them in forever, must not be doing anything big. This week the beat the Bengals, 27-10....nope, still nothing big.
Oh, Jay Cutler, you little over-achiever you! 10 point against the Oakland Raiders. The Broncos played so poorly that a guy names "Ashley" scored a touchdown on them and the Raiders were successful on a half-back pass. Seriously Jay? A man named Ashley and a trick play by Oakland? You disappoint me today, almost as much as the day you lost me $120K! 31-10, Raiders. (oh yeah! they lets them score 31 points! Good D, guys!)
But perhaps the most surprising under achievers of the week, were the Titans. The formerly undefeated Titans, contributed only 13 points to the NFLs record breaking total. Who were they playing? The Bretts. Yes, Brett Fav-ruh and the Jets put an end to the Titans 11 game winning streak (if you count last season its a 13 game winning streak). Collins threw for more yards then the old man, but Favre delivered 2 touch downs that Collins, didn't, but the question on everyone's mind, but surely be, Did Brett cry??? THIS IS JUST TOO GOOD!!!!
So who scored all those points this record breaking week? (well, those loser teams listed above had opponents who ran all over them). But of course...
THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS did! After hearing how they have played no one this seasons, despite being in the toughest conference in the NFL the Giants spanked the Cards with 37 points to Arizona's 29. This was one of those games where there was bad call after bad call, inclusing the Cardinals calling a free kick to end the half. (if you don't know what a free kick is, you haven't been reading my blog, so get scrolling!) Despite the referees inability to call anything in favor of the G-men, they didn't need any help and continue to lead the NFC.
Sticking with the NFC East, the Dallas Cowgirls put up 35 points over the 'Niners 22. Congratulations to Tony Romo on ending his "consecutive games with an interception streak." Don't worry, I am sure he is still creeping up on Fav-ruh's record of carrer interceptions. Huge game for T.O. with 213 yards receiving. I can't rain on his parade...ah, what the heck! Sure, I can. YOU WERE PLAYING THE 49ers! I COULD PUT UP 213 YARDS! But heym they still are the SECOND BEST team in the NFC East, so good game, Dallas. (yes, that hurt me to say!)
The Lions never cease to disappoint me. Just think if I had picked against them every week, I'd still be on the running for that $120K, Jay Cutler lost me! The Tampa Bay Bucs put up, 38 points over the Loser Lions and kept Detroit at just plain defeated. There were no surprises here. 38-20, Bucs.
Movin on the the Real Big numbers,
Buffalo had 54 points over Kansas City. Of course, KC also had 5 turnovers(more than points scored by St. Louis this week). Not only did the Bills contribute 54 points to the NFL record-breaking total, but they broke their 4 games losing streak and the record for most points scored on the Chiefs, EVER! Game balls for everyone! 54-31, Bills.
With Cassel throwing 30/43 for 415 yards and 3 touchdowns, the "We Don't Need Brady" Pats put up 48 points over Miami. Randy Moss caught all 3 TD passes and it looks like Cassel has replaced Brady in his heart. Hey, he's younger, cuter and had his second consecutive 400-yard day, doubling Tom Brady's career total. What more can a reciever ask for? (Pennington threw for 341 yards and also had 3 TDs, but he didn't win the game, so who really cares?)
"Matt is getting in the comfort zone," Moss said. "He's playing some 'hellified' ball."(hellified- adj. a large amount of something "tight." Can also mean, "I love you" is saif by Randy Moss.)
Atlanta Falcons 45 over Carlina Panthers 28. (If there seemed to be some magic in the air for the Falcons, it was me.) Something was going on because thwe Panthers had fewer interception, more possession time, more total yardage, 2 players with over 100 yards, but far less points. Michael Turner for the Falcons had 4 ruching TDs and thats where it all happened for the Atlanta. No one else performed Sunday at the Georgia Dome, so everyone run out and buy your Michael Turner jerseys. (He's number 33.)
Speaking of Domes, you can credit another player with 4 touchdowns at the Super Dome. Drew Brees threw 20/26 for 323 yards and 4 touchdowns. Maybe something about that overhead enclosure made Aaron Rodgers caustraphobic because he had 3 interceptions and Green Bay just couldn't take off. (you like that? couldn't take off, cause there was a roof? I guess jokes that need explaining aren't very funny, but I laughed!) Putting the NFL over the record breaking edge Saints 51, Green Bay 29.
There were some rather boring games that didn't fit in either category.
Indy 23, San Deigo 20.(And, after I said you got your groove back, Brother Manning. Step it up!)
*Interesting Note: there is actually, a "Step Up 2!" Has anyone seen the first one?
Payton doesn't discriminate for his commercials, why start now?
Washinton 20, Seattle 17.
Minnesota 30, Jacksonville 12. (I could have put this game in the first category since the Jags scored less than the Titans, but to be honest, I just forgot about this game.)
