Sanchez Throws Five Picks; Jets Now 3-3 After Awful Setback to Bills

Losing to the Saints was well – okay. Losing to the Dolphins was – bad. Losing at home to the Bills in overtime with Buffalo having to play a backup QB? Terrible. But that’s where the Jets are at after Sunday’s home setback, 16-13 to the Bills. They had their chances all day, but usually [...]

Cardinals Overwhelm Seahawks in Seattle 27-3

Scarily, Darnell Dockett could be on to something. The Arizona defensive tackle told The Arizona Republic last week that his defensive unit could be on the verge of breaking out, much like it did last year. He cited upcoming opponents, including Seattle, as the reason. Dockett and his teammates put themselves one step closer to [...]

Saints Stop Giants – Brees and New Orleans Dominate in Big Easy 48-27

The Giants defense didn’t look Super today against the Saints, as they lost to New Orleans. There was absolutely no pressure on Drew Brees, and he took advantage of that. The Saints started the scoring off early, on a 2 yard run by Mike Bell which capped off a 70 yard drive. The Saints added [...]

Comeback for Ravens Fall Short in 33-31 Setback in Minnesota

With Baltimore down 17 points only five minutes into the Fourth quarter it looked as if the Ravens were destined to travel home at .500 to answer another week of questions about the sputtering offense. But, Joe Flacco (28 of 43 for 385 yds. 2 TD)who had been dodging Viking defenders all day stepped up [...]

Jones-Drew Leads the Way as Jaguars Beat St.Louis in OT 23-20

The Jaguars came into Sunday trying to avoid the distinction of being the first team to lose to the St.Louis Rams in 2009. They seemed to try their best to give away the game, but in the end survived a hard fought game, coming out on top 23-20 in overtime to move to 3-3 on [...]

Raiders End 3-Game Slump, Edge Eagles 13-9

A funny thing happened over at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. No it wasn’t a dream sequence nor was it anything that came from a Hollywood script. No way, no how. What happened, you’re wondering? The Oakland Raiders – poster children of the dysfunctional set – in their game against the Philadelphia Eagles, actually put together a [...]

Williams Runs For Two Scores, Panthers Keep Buccaneers Winless 28-21

Carolina Panthers Jake Delhomme, while much maligned, can be accused of being resourceful – if anything else. And that resourcefulness would be put to the test as the Panthers visited the Tampa Bay Bucaneers at Raymond James Stadium. And interestingly enough, Delhomme contributed little in this game as it was more of a rushing plethora [...]

Schaub Tosses 4 TD’s, Texans Corral Bengals 28-17

The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans actually have something in common – not much in their rushing department but make up for it in spades with superior passing. Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, while obviously not Peyton Manning (heck, who is?), has save for Week 1 made a decent accounting of himself. In Houston’s game agaisnt [...]
