Titans 10
Steelers 13
A tough defensive game that went into overtime and was finally won when Ben Rothlisberger orchestrated the game winning drive. Troy Polamalu became the latest victim of the Madden curse. One down, and one to go, now.
Eagles 38
Panthers 10
Looked like the Panthers were going to dominate the Eagles when they scored on their first drive of the day, but the Philadelphia defense woke-up and got in the head of Del Hommie forcing him to make mistakes and eventually get benched. The Eagles lost QB Donovan McNabb for 3-4 weeks and possibly longer due to a broken rib. Fortunately the schedule is relatively easy for them while McNabb can heal.
Dolphins 7
Falcons 19
Looks like the Falcons have discovered how to defend the wildcat offense. With the Colts and Chargers next up on the schedule, Miami might start the season 0-3.
Broncos 12
Bengals 7
Broncos get lucky and win on a last second prayer that bounced off the helmet of a Cincinnati defender and into the hands of Brandon Stokley for what would be the game winning touchdown.
Vikings 34
Browns 20
Brett Favre makes his debut dressed in purple, but is completely overshadowed by Adrian Peterson and his 180 yards rushing.
Jaguars 12
Colts 14
Manning had 301 yards passing and tied Unitas’ record for most franchise wins in Colts’ history while holding off the pesky Jaguars
Lions 27
Saints 45
Drew Brees had a ridiculous game throwing for 358 yards and 6 touchdowns. Lions are still a bad team.
Cowboys 34
Buccaneers 21
Romo has a good game and looks like he has reached a good comfort level with Patrick Crayton. The Buccaneers need a better defense.
Chiefs 24
Ravens 38
Chiefs stink. I don’t know what to make of this game. Is Joe Flacco that good? Or, are the Chiefs that bad?
Jets 24
Texans 7
Say goodbye to any hopes of the playoffs Houston.
Redskins 17
Giants 23
The score is deceiving. Giants dominated the Redskins in this game.
49ers 20
Cardinals 16
Will the Cardinals be the next in a long line of Super Bowl losers to miss the playoffs the next season? If that’s their goal, they are off to a good start.
Rams 0
Seahawks 28
When your team doesn’t have one player left from the 2006 draft on its roster shutouts will result.
Bears 15
Packers 21
The Bears offense doesn’t look so great with Cutler. He has got to stop throwing interceptions.
