Seattle Slams Jacksonville 41-0 in Return of Hasselbeck
They should probably have never gotten off the plane. For the Jaguars, they came to Seattle hoping to build on their modest two-game winning streak, and left looking like they were a team playing their first preseason game.

Vikings Keep Rolling – Top Rams 38-10 in St.Louis
The key to beating bad teams is simply to make sure they know early and often that they are not as good as you. Sunday in St.Louis, the Vikings did just that, taking care of business beating up a bad Rams team 38-10. The team went up 14-0 in the first quarter on an Adrian [...]
Raiders Awful in 44-7 Crushing by the Giants
Once again Sunday in New Jersey the Raiders offense took on the look of a team playing its first preseason game, as they were limited to 124 total yards in a lackluster 44-7 blowout loss to the undefeated New York Giants. QB JaMarcus Russell is on the verge of what seems to be a historically [...]
